    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Platinumed it as my first ever game. Did not encounter any bugs. Was sometimes disconnected during boss fights after the second phase happens, was not too annoying till Malenia. When I beat her it all just poofed away. Great game would 100% recommend just persevere and you shall make it. Final boss is BS but does not take away from the game.… Expand

    Definitely the best game to come out in the past 5 years. I think it's in the top 5 games of all time. Amazing story, game-play, music and AI. Played over 200 hours and played all day every day in the release week. It's a hard game and it is supposed to be, it is fun in that sense itself, no micro-transactions and only grinding in-game which keeps everything fair for everyone.

    I loved this game the whole way through. I'm a sort of fan of the Dark Souls games, but have never finished one before because I would get lost or lose interest. Elden Ring kept me engaged the whole time.

    This game is sooooooooo underrated, IT MUST BE HIGHER. Here my pros and cons:

    Pros:
    - Fun game with great mechanics
    - Keeps you entertained for hours on end
    - Lore is big and good
    - Good story
    - Easy to learn, Hard to master

    Cons:

    - Frames, the frames in this game are pretty crappy, even on good computers like mine! I run fortnite at 144 fps but I can barely run elden ring at 50.

    Don't know why all the PC-gamer community is whining. Elden Ring took the botw formula, extended and perfected it. Best boss fights in any from software game with adaptive difficulty, Sprawling, bustling landscapes with secrets in every corner. Picked up the game and couldn't stop playing for 3 days.

    Talves seja o melhor soulslike ja feito.
    Não sei se vão fazer algo melhor do que isso.
    From software so erra no boss final, parece q nao sabem fazer boss final.
    Fiz todas as conquistas, vou jogar um dia novamente, talves em outra plataforma ou com uma build diferente.

    Sure it has its issues but they are easily patched and nothing like others that are coming out recently. this was the first from software title that I have thoroughly enjoyed I don't see myself putting any less than 500 hours into this game It is a brilliant masterpiece and I'm looking forward to what's next from them.

    老头环让我更加怀念玩恶魔城时的那段时光，从未想过游戏发展到2022年了，玩上一款完整的游戏都那么令人满足和奢望。当然老头环还是没做完，留下了很多坑没有填，但它至少看上去不是一款那么半成品的作品。不是毫无诚意的EA测试圈钱。

    Your experience will be unique when playing this game, because the possibilities are endless.
    My wish and dream is for all ARPG games to use Elden Ring as the basis for their development.

    For sure it has some minor fouls, but hey, it has 94 metascore. Just go for it.

    Amazing game, world design is stunning, fights are challenging and the eldritch horrors this game offers are out of this world, the lore of the game is as deep as all previous From Software Games. In short a Masterpiece in Gaming

    Elden Ring showed me how an open world can be renewed and make you shine for every dungeon or new location you encounter. Usually open world is repetitive and soon it gets easy because your character gets over power. Besides bringing all the hallmarks like difficulty and strategy, Elden gives you the opportunity to build your gameplay the way you prefer, in every way.

    Masterpiece. Had lots of fun with it and I still have. It has a lot of ways to make the difficulty harder or easier so you can play it, even if you never played a Souls game before.

    Elden Ring O' Elden Ring, undeniably the most fine tuned and well thought out project that FromSoftware has ever released.

After spending nearly 200 hours in this game I can say with confidence that it is some of the most challenging fun I have ever had with a video game. It took my breathe away from start to finish with its landscape, well thought out characters, deep and interesting lore, and most importantly insanely brutal boss encounters. Of course I have some issues with the game however, the biggest one being that I feel it pushes you to play specific builds as the most powerful items in the game favour single playstyles but if your willing to go without the OP weapons and spells and trudge through insanely fast and strong boss combos all the while spam rolling and using your final bit of stamina to swing your giant hammer for that FINAL HIT! then you shall be rewarded with some of the most satisfying feelings of accomplishment you can receive from any video game.

    if you are interested in Elden Ring you owe it to yourself to persevere and explore, don't quit after 4 or even 10 hours in because to truly appreciate this masterpiece you must first allow it time to show you all it has to offer. To me the cons the game has are so easily trumped by all the good and this game remains IMO a 10/10.    … Expand

    In my opinion, the best game of 2022. They have combined the structure of other souls games into one game perfectly. Although it is a long-term game, I played it with pleasure without getting bored for a second. Give this game a chance without being fooled by other reviews. A complete masterpiece.

    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.
