    عالم يحببك باستكشافه وبالراحة افضل عالم واكثر عالم متنوع في العاب السولز
    وافضل اسلحة فيها تنوع خورافي
    مشكلتي الوحيدة مع اللعبة انه تقريبا كل الزعماء الخورافيين يجون في اخر ثلث من اللعبة

    Game was amazing. The open world is very big and interesting to explore. Main bosses and locations in the game are great. I would definitely recommend to play this game.

    The Low User score is because of bad people who thought they buy a skyrim. But its different than that. Its harder and you dont get hold by the hand the whole time. Get good.

    The love that breathes in many of its aspects, compared to many modern games gone wrong, says a lot about this title. If you're a fan of FromSoftware, they've done a wonderful job.

    My PC: RTX 2080super, R7 3700x, 32GB RAM, NVME SSD;
    Recommended System Reqs for this game: GTX 1070, R5 3600x, 16GB RAM;

    My PC simply cannot handle the game, the performance is awful, even worse than on PS5 while PS5 GPU is an equivalent of RTX 2070. So, there simply no optimization for PC players. Issued a refund after 1.5 hours of playing since the game is technically unplayable for me: 0/10

    By far the best game FromSoftware has ever made. It takes everything good done in previous games and improves them, also an amazing open world and suberb boss fights. The levels are spectacular; there are also so many weapons and spells, allowing you have so many different play styles and builds. The online plays are fun, with now arenas dedicated to PvPs.
    Truly a Masterpiece.

    This game is crazy fun and addictive. It is hard. Very hard. But it feels insanely rewarding when you beat a boss or a difficult area. The world is breathtaking and the soundtrack amazing. If you beat/enjoyed breath of the wild you will enjoy this game too. I am 70 hours in and I am only about a third of the way done with the game. It will give you hundreds of hours of fun.

    In many ways the best FromSoft game, but there are some regressions.
    It plays absolutely beautiful, improvements to spell system, movement, etc.

    Formulaic storytelling that feels extremely derivative. It was acceptable to a point with the previous titles, but with Elden Ring, it feels like it's gone past that and now it just feels cheap and lazy.

    a great open world and amazing to play once or twice.
    since the world is so huge it isn't really fun to play more than once though, as it can be quite daunting to traverse the world from the beginning again. still an amazing game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the most replayable and enjoyable games i've ever played, it's a flawed masterpiece. The game makes a good attempt on the open world, and the story is intriguing although sporadic.

    PC Controls are easy to adapt to, although not the best PC port I've seen. Some dungeon bosses are copypasted, and the final boss lacks the quality from the bosses right before, such as Maliketh, Godfrey and Radagon.

    As the first open-world game from From Software, it's pretty good. When it became clear that the game would be open world, there were doubts and not without reason as it turned out. The game is good and it will give you a lot of adventure, but the quality of that adventure is debatable.

    Game is too big, sometimes to a fault. Some clunky animations, especially on the movement... and I think that are the only 2 flaws of the game. I'm not even gonna bother to explain all the positive. I think we all know at this point.

    Elden Ring is an experience that will not be forgotten in a hurry. It's a tremendous, hulking, massive achievement but because it is tremendous, hulking and massive, it is one that comes with many caveats. The shelves in CeX and conversations with people who stopped playing at Stormveil castle can certainly attest to some of those caveats. Much like any FromSoftware title, it's not going to be for everybody, but paradoxically it is one of their hardest and one of their most accessible to date. It offers huge value in one package, and perhaps is a little too much value, only becoming clearer when nearing the endgame. Don't be mistaken by the criticism, though. This is a phenomenal achievement with a moment-to-moment that is incredibly engaging and immersive. No doubt it will be deserving of the end-of-year accolades it will inevitably receive. One pushes through Elden Ring as one pushes through life, with all the highs and the lows that it brings.

    Elden Ring is massive, sometimes to its detriment. A thorough walkthrough might take up more than 100 hours to complete, and at some point it becomes clear that From Software did not have enough manpower to produce that much unique content. Still, it remains incredibly addictive even after those 100 hours pass…

    It’s hard to review Elden Ring without being comparative; that’s because Elden Ring is an evolutionary step, not a revolutionary one, and one can’t help but see how it’s built on what came before. Here is a massive undertaking of a game, not for the sake of chasing trends but as the natural progression of the style the company has been fostering for over a decade. It’s amazing how smoothly the transition to open world was and how much of the Souls identity is still present. In the short time since its release, it has already left a cultural mark, no doubt a result of the game’s increased approachability. Even after sifting past all the hype and grandiosity, there’s still an excellent game left and Elden Ring is a clear showcase of FromSoftware’s outstanding expertise in the field. Elden Ring really is just that good.
