    This is a true From Software games with all of the previous titles' features and some new ones. It is a difficult game and may not be for everyone, but there are some game mechanics (summoning other players is one of it) to make the experience easier. It has a wide variety of character builds with decent character customization. The environment design and music is to be highly commended too.

    An excellent soulslike with a much bigger world and giant creatures! We have all the familiar ingredients in Demon Souls, Dark Souls Trilogy, Bloodborne and Sekiro, but now with some additional abilities including mount to navigate an open world.

    The game is a combination of all the other works of the studio, a wonderful and attractive work, but not for everyone. It is a game that harshly punishes mistakes, but magnanimously rewards victories.

    This is the best game I have ever played.

    Childlike wonder of exploration? Check!

    Difficult rewarding combat? Check!

    Immersive storytelling? Check!

    My character being fully customizable with a unique experience compared to other players? Check!

    Huge world that never slows down and keeps the rewards and danger coming? Check!

    In case you're asking for Ray Tracing or DLSS support, it will be supported later in a patch, just wait.

    Elden Ring is a big adventure with a lot of areas to discover and amazing designs. There are a lot of low negative reviews that are unjustified. I have no problems on PC, no lag, although I have a highend RTX 3080. Also make sure your GPU drivers are up-to-date. I have connected an Xbox controller to my pc for the controls. The 60 fps doesn't bother me too much, but higher would be nice.Elden Ring is a big adventure with a lot of areas to discover and amazing designs.

    Never played any souls games, but this is the best game I’ve ever played. It’s a bit buggy, but compared to what AAA titles have been like lately it’s perfection. I love this game and I will happily sink hundreds of hours into it and pay for whatever DLCs they release.

    Very good game. Essentially dark souls mechanics / items / quests stuffed inside of a BOTW style open world. It's fun to alternate grinding/exploring/dungeons. A lot to do in every single region, lots of interesting minibosses, sidequests, and general fun exploring. The open world does not feel copy and pasted like other open world games i've played.

    A lot of people are complaining about the graphics, but i completely disagree and think this game looks fine. Would much rather sacrifice graphics for good gameplay eitherway.

    A lot of the bad reviews stem from players who desire to be held by the hand with every step they take. You will have to keep track of the pieces of information you acquire and find your own unique way. I think it is very refreshing that there is no large arrow pointing into the correct direction.    … Expand

    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.
