    The developers have intentionally disabled the 21:9 / ultrawide support.
    If you want to bypass it with a hex fix, you have to play offline, otherwise the anti-cheat software kicks in.

    It's 2022, this is a 60€ full price AAA game. It's really an unbelievable cheek!

    Also, even with the most modern hardware, there are frame drops and a 60FPS lock.

    Simply unbelievable!

    Tiene todo para ser el juego del año, pero la optimización para la versión de PC (al menos hasta el momento) es nula y lo hace injugable de a ratos.

    From the few hours I've played, I've had a lot of fun, challenging bosses and good lore

    As many others pointed out, the game is overflowing with little problems and performance issues due the lack of polishing of the game. This game could use a few more months for better optimization.
    Gameplay wise, the combat is what you would expect, exploration was a let down, as the critics led me to believe there would be more interesting stuff around the map, not just week monsters and    As many others pointed out, the game is overflowing with little problems and performance issues due the lack of polishing of the game.

    The graphics are good, but could be better. I know it never was a priority for the studio, but its ridiculous to think this is an current gen AAA game .
    Now what really turned me down was the story, or lack of... They talked so much about George R. R. Martin world building that at least a nice plot would be expect, but nah, none whatsoever.
    It can be fun, but is not worth the money right now.

    Controls on PC are worst i have seen in any video game ever! Worse than "Resident Evil 4" PC port from 2007. How can video game in state like this get metascore of 95 makes absolutely no sense. It truly makes me question logic behind it.

    Graphics? Are we back in 2013? Is this game supposed to represent games from early 2010s? I'm really, really confused, because i haven't seen so bad grass movement/placement since 2012/2013. I think even Assasin's Creed 4 (2013) had better looking grass. Sky actually looks beautiful, so i'm assuming ground and sky had completely different designers? But whoever decided that combining these two into one game was ok, should maybe look for some other job.
    Just saying.

    World feels absolutely lifeless. I was free roaming for hours (10+ hours), killing every enemy i met and more i went on, more i discovered how lifeless this whole world is. All enemies are just conveniently placed all over the map and they are simply waiting for you to go and kill them. They hardly move, they hardly do anything tbf.

    I really, really tried to like it. I wouldn't spend 10+ hours in a game, that i don't care about. Atmosphere was there, bad graphics were distracting, but it was tolerable, because at times it looks very beautiful. Castles actually look very cool, but they are not as detailed as i would expect AAA 2022 game to be.

    If only reason you play this game is killing one boss after another, good for you. I was expecting actual 2022 AAA video game, because hardly any game gets metascore 95 and in my opinion, it's not even slightly justified and i'm extremely disappointed.    … Expand

    Fantastic game, the natural evolution of the Dark Souls genre.

    Don't be dissuaded by reviewers crying about performance issues. Those issues that do exist are minor and will be ironed out. I'm running the game smoothly at medium settings with few hiccups on ancient hardware (Core i7 950 and RX 470). So I really don't get what all the whining on the Steam page is about.

    I remember calling out the graphics as PS3 on steam and my post was removed in 5 minutes, because apparently it was "bait". No it wasn't bait. I was completely honest. Why does Rockstar have to "innovate" and come out with "ground breaking world design" to get that 97, when some other studio can come out with 2011 graphics, worst control scheme of modern era of video games, flat texturesI remember calling out the graphics as PS3 on steam and my post was removed in 5 minutes, because apparently it was "bait".

Why does Rockstar have to "innovate" and come out with "ground breaking world design" to get that 97, when some other studio can come out with 2011 graphics, worst control scheme of modern era of video games, flat textures and pretty much empty open world and get 95? I was dying to get the horse, because moving around was so slow and boring. But when i finally got the horse, it didn't help much, world was still boring. Overall i just feel bad for other video game companies (i really do), because I'm pretty sure Rockstar is making something incredible with GTA 6, but what the point even, when some other studio puts hardly any work into their games? Elden Ring fans calling innovation overrated, while whining about other companies for not innovating is most hypocritical thing i have ever seen.… Expand

    Are these souls games just big meme? I'm just curious, because that's the only thing that would make sense. Is this some kind of inside joke between reviewers?

Did you even play Red Dead Redemption 2 or are souls games literally only games you play and you have never experienced an actual open world game, so you just assume, that Elden Ring's open world is something incredible? I'm disgusted with these reviews and i'm sure other companies are as well. This is literal insult to gaming in general.… Expand

    Elden Ring is a joy and a masterpiece. It's not only one of the best RPGs, but it's one of the best games in general.

    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.
