    Honestly the best game I've played in years. Unlike other souls games this is friendlier considering your not being forced in any direction. If something is to hard you can just explore somewhere else that is closer to your level and come back way later. The map is big and takes around 120-150 hours to do everything.

    The best souls game ever made. Thank you From Software for this magnificent piece of art.

    This game still follows the precepts of the Souls series, although it has become simpler than the previous parts, which I would not call a plus, but let it be, the game is still good and, as always, it is complex in an interesting way. Those who insult and underestimate the game for being too difficult, the only thing you deserve is a spit in the face.

    This game is not flawless, but it deserves a 10/10 for 1 reason: it will change the gaming formula for AAA games for years to come (as seen in current gaming journalism).

It has an unparalleled level of quality for a $60 game in its graphical fidelity, gameplay replayability, total game content, character customization, combat system, enemy variety, music composition, voice acting direction, map size, map environmental ambience, map verticality, explorable locations, and i can keep going on. For the sheer scope of the game, i am not surprised that there were minor issues at launch. But as of the current patch, this should have been addressed. I've seen larger games in GB with far less content to play struggle to get off the ground at launch. It has a simple story, that it immediately presents to you, and does not shove down your throat. You may, at your volition, tackle that story at anytime. Or you may explore the world around you with brimming life, in a endless Valhalla like setting. It trusts the player to explore, and allows for an almost endless customizable play choices. If you take the time, regardles if you have gotten gud, you can beat this game. If you are an action rpg gamer, and you do not mind dying, this is the game for you. Expand

    Un des meilleur jeux qui m'est était de faire ces deux dernières années !
    Aucun problème d'optimisation de mon coter !
    Je prend un plaisir fou comparable à ce que j'ai pu ressentir sur BOTW ou même Sekiro Hollow Knight.

    Bref foncez !

    Elden Ring is truly a masterpiece. From the design of the map, the plot, the boss, the music, and more, it's all well designed and carefully invested. The recent patch makes the game even better. 10/10

    I have no idea what's going on with the other people, I don't have any performance or other problems.
    You can tell that the game was developed for consoles, so only the keyboard controls failed, so i play it with a controller on the PC.

    I had extremely high expectations, and they were still surpassed. The amount of content blew me away, and even past 90 hours I'm still finding new things. My only issue with the game is that the non-linear design that comes with an open world makes it very easy to become over-leveled for parts of the content, which makes it less fun for me personally.

    Genuinely have no idea what the review bombs are talking about. The graphics in this game really shine in later zones. I haven't had any frame drops since the recent patch despite my old machine. The game is hard but rewarding like every from game. The only complaints I understand are "no ultra wide support" and "framecap 60" but I don't use ultra wide and I'm good with 60 frames

    First I experienced at least 5 crashes on Elden Ring PC. Over 200 hours in and it's was worth every minute. This is not my first FromSoft game but it is the first one I beat. I am so ready for new game plus. 10/10

    I haven't finished it yet, still i love to get my time exploring things around, the feeling of fear and adrenaline you get when getting to a new zone and the relief and satisfaction of killing a hard boss is something only this genre can offer. Perfect Game

    This is basically peak of what Fromsoftware has ever done. All attacks feel like they have a place in combat, magic feels fluid and snappy, bosses are **** insane even more than usual, areas are outright beautiful, artstyle, lore and story are one of if not the best I have ever seen in gaming. Honestly, my all time favourite and overall a Magnum Opus of Miyazaki's lifework.

    I have doubts if this is the best souls Fromsoftware has created, disputing the title with Sekiro. It feels like a fitting end to the more medieval souls, a grand and exciting adventure in a world that makes you want to explore for hours. After 200 hours of gameplay I still feel like I have a lot of exploring to do and will start a new game soon to face certain bosses again.

    It feels bigger and more alive than dark souls, not necessarily harder which is not a bad thing.

    Excellent game, runs poorly on computers, but I was able to fix that and never noticed any issues again in my 50 hour playthrough. One issue I do have with this game though is the sheer absurdity of the damage late-game enemies do, I'm fine with bosses doing that damage, but some random bug guy wiped out half of my 2000 health in a single attack, otherwise solid game.

    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.
