    Very poor quality final product. Needs different difficulty settings. It's really not that hard to add. Do not recommend.

    The critical reviews for this are all correct.
    This is just Dark Souls again "now with goat-horse!!!".
    Including the trademark artificial difficulty that the games are known for. There is a difference in a game being hard because it takes skill. And a game being hard because the character moves like a boulder, and all your enemies have overinflated HP bars. This is Game Design 101. And    The critical reviews for this are all correct.

    But if you've already played a couple from software games, aren't you tired of doing this yet?
    The "lore" in this game is really some standard convoluted JRPG trite. Only this time it's trying its best to look like Skyrim and Witcher 3.
    The new open world is just big for no reason and it has a very amateur design philosophy.
    The controls feel like you are playing a PS2 launch title. And the stiff animations don't make it any better.
    Just a boring chore to play. I feel like this game is intentionally wasting my time and has zero payoff.
    I really don't get how a person can play this and be amazed. Unless it's the first game they've ever played.
    You'll probably like this if you're pretty slow and aren't capable of deep thought.    … Expand

    Must play is laughable.
    Most console-itis infested title I've ever had the misfortune of putting my hands on. Absolutely horrendous interface and control scheme that is beyond unacceptable for a PC title, even a ported one.
    Bad performance compared to the graphical fidelity, unsmooth movement, gameplay lacks fluidity.
    Possibly the worst port I've seen to date.

    Performance on this game is horrible, drops in frame rate, stuttering, bad graphics, no support for large screens, etc. Wasn't this supposed to be a whole "new franchise"? Just a glorified Dark souls 4, same animations as DS, same mechanics, same UI, the George R.R. Martin thing was pure marketing. Sorry, but open worlds and riding horses is not innovative at all.

    If you're playing ELDEN RING because of the open world, you'll find it's not even as good as Dragon Age 3. Yep, not even as good as the game in 2014. ELDEN RING has a terrible low degree of freedom. Please, it's 2022, the game still has 95 points for "Souls", and a bunch of full points? It's a joker game.

What the hell was GRMM Needed for? There is no story as per usual. Open world? No more or less than the other titles were. You're still gear gated into linearity, except now you just have more ways to screw yourself beyond repair and have to just start a new save if you get stuck early in an area such as the the poisonous swamp from a "treasure portal".

    I have a newsflash for all the fanboys of these crap games: It is in fact NOT GOOD GAME DESIGN to have an area near the starting area, with the lowest tier enemies, get trolled into opening a treasure chest, have it teleport you to an area THAT YOU CANNOT TELEPORT OUT OF, yes even the first campfire near that area cannot be teleported out of, so if you have no gear, no horse, well you just need to start a new save now. Cool great design. They really respect the player's time with this crap. Also I know this genius mechanic I'm next going to talk about is present in all Soulscrap games, but how in the world is it good design to just permanently lose all your experience/gold if you die and can't get back to your death spot? That isn't fun, it only angers you, depresses you, and wastes your time. I'd be halfway fine with having to fight the same enemies over and over again, but when you have the added bs of just losing all of your experience it just isn't good game design. Period. And you're wrong if you think otherwise, objectively wrong.

    Have fun torturing yourself with yet another awful installment with this franchise. If you didn't like the games before - trust me you won't like em now, even w/ GRRM's name sleezily stamped all over it.    … Expand

    This game is diluted Souls, plain and simple. The Souls formula doesn't benefit at all from the open world format, and what you have are long horse riding sessions through an unimpressive world full of a lot of green plains and rocks, with the occasional ruin.

It has nothing to do with my PC since I can run Cyberpunk at 80FPS at ultra settings so it should be able to run this PS4 game easily ABOVE the stupid 60FPS cap. And this is not even the only issue since there are many other PC gamers with even more issues.

    Being just a rehash of the past FromSoft games, but with abysmal optimization and an even worse lack of innovation.

    This game being able to score a 97 just proves that you do not have to be actively trying to move the genre forward or introduce new concepts. As long as you regurgitate the same thing again and again, with little to no change whatsoever, it doesn't matter as long as you have a rabid fanbase who treat every rehash as the greatest thing ever made.

    If it was another AAA franchise with this kind of game launch, just imagine the backlash.

    But I don't blame Miyazaki and Fromsoft, if the mass media and consumers had called them out on their crap since DS3, then maybe they would have explored new territory since then. They would have added something revolutionary, included impressive game mechanics...

    It just amazes me how this thing is hailed as innovative. With the same game design since DS2, graphics from 2009, tedious and outdated gameplay mechanics, terrible animation quality, and a lack of improvement of enemy AI (the AI is even PS2 level AI since they do not act without you being in the area, and keep attacking areas you have already dodged).

    God, RDR2 was actually innovative. It was revolutionary landmark in open world design and storytelling, and it just got completely snubbed at major game awards and gets crapped on till today for trivial reasons.

    If this thing can get 97, RDR2 shld get a 101, minimum.

    No open world game developer should take any notes of game design from this game. It is already weak as it is.

    If there is anything else for me to say, it is that any consumer or review outlet giving this game anything more than a 6 should not be allowed to judge a game's quality and degree of innovation.

    The only thing redeeming quality about the game are aspects of the art design.

    I really wish this game was 97 great.... I really wish.

    这个游戏有着世界上最神的西式奇幻，最神的地图设计，最神的美工，最神的史诗感，这个世界上再也没有这么史诗的游戏了，但是这个游戏被糟糕的战斗体验和AI毁了。

    你不动Boss也不动，然后你在Boss的攻击间隙打，他直接出无前摇快刀，这时你仍然在攻击模组中，也就是说只有扎地大后摇这种间隙才是安全的。 条件反射一样的读指令，巴普洛夫的宫崎英高是吧？最终Boss拉达冈读指令读到自己原地罚站，这就是宫崎英高你最满意的游戏吗？整体手感不如黑暗之魂3，战斗也不如黑暗之魂3，各个Boss都会超大范围AOE和快慢刀你当玩家是只狼？还有举手陪玩家转圈后又放下手的噩兆，宫崎英高你在干嘛？ 这边建议大家都去索尔城门口放灵魂激流溜溜宫崎英高呢。 还有一点，「正在召唤协助者」的下一句是什么？当然是「无法召唤协助者」。    这个游戏有着世界上最神的西式奇幻，最神的地图设计，最神的美工，最神的史诗感，这个世界上再也没有这么史诗的游戏了，但是这个游戏被糟糕的战斗体验和AI毁了。

    And other dark souls Without any changes. you have to go a looooooong way again and again in order to Encounter a boss? I don't have this much of time. what were you thinking about, when creating ( actually copy+pasting from dark souls) this game? Did you think gamers have many free times? it's just wasting so much time.

    I am back on bloodborne, I think I'm almost finished it, and then I will play Sekiro.

    Fromsoft released a broken game and the meta critic scores, why the hell didn't they tell us about how badly the game runs, don't show this. What a shame such a small (39) group of obvious souls fans reviewed it and decided to not disclose just how bad it runs. Even if they love a series they shouldn't give it a pass. Do your job next time!

    Other games in the past have been ripped apart because of releasing with these same issues. Yet this is GoTY? Can I also point out that in this day and age you'd think even a Souls game would up its graphics and physics system to the industry standard for AA and AAA games. Walk through foliage and nothing responds which breaks immersion. The graphics/assets/textures look like it came from 2013. I'm not joking. The style of the game is more of the same.
    The game does nothing new, even copying Breath Of The Wilds open world format to a T.

    If you are a pro critic I ask that in the future you stay consistent with your reviews. This way people can get a proper read on what a game is without your obvious childish bias masking a broken game just so it sells well or whatever your reasoning was.

    Almost non-existant optimisation . Much better looking games run much faster than Elden Ring on my PC.

    Other than that , great game . FormSoftware basically built upon every game they previously made and also made it open world . I'll change my review to positive when they patch the game . properly.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have never played a souls game. I barely touched Bloodborne but it drove me insane after two days of failure and never played it again. Elden Ring is really my first Fromsoft Souls type game. And it's the greatest game ever made bar none. I have played games since Pong. I'm 48 years old. I've played every great game ever made. Elden Ring is the best of all of them. It is the most expansive world ever, the greatest variety of monsters to battle, the most loot to pick up, the most Points of Interest to find. The most incredible landscapes to travel. The Character creation, respec, and speccing your character is unbelievable. I can be anything I want to be. Try many many builds with my Larvae Tears. The boss fights Enemy, Great Enemy and Legends are absolutely fantastic. It took my 4 days to beat Margit, and now i go there as a co-op and help new players just so i can fight him again. It took me 4 more days to fully explore and beat Stormveil Castle. In fact I beat Renalla first in the Mages Castle of Liurnia Lakes before I finished Godrick. The Dungeons catacombs are terrifying to enter. I'm on end game now. I've been watching video's to find the hidden bosses so I can experience everything and slay them all. And as soon as I finish this game i'm going to start a new character and try a totally different build then the one i use now. This game gives me what Morrowind gave me a long time ago. A giant wonderful world to explore, learn, and challenge myself against without the game telling me over, and over, and over, what I should be doing next. In Ubisoft games now I find myself just shutting off my mind and following map markers. In Elden Ring I'm constantly looking for interesting sites on the horizon and adventuring there. My mind is always engaged, i'm always learning the paths, memorizing routes, and finding adventure in a way that no other game since Morrowind has allowed you to find. Elden Ring is the best game ever made. Even with the framerate drops and technical issues. I don't give a damn about them I just want to explore and experience this game.… Expand

You beggin the game, nest thing you get is ultra hard boss, very hard to beat. Game gives you literally no pointers.

    It is VERY hard to play it, but it's an "artificial" difficulty, sometimes boss don't even hit you and removes half of your HP, makes no sense. In my experience, Dying Light 2 (for example) was kinda harder, in a sense that you, the average player will have a good challenge with it but at the end you'll feel accomplished you beat the boss or whatever and you'll keep playing. This game? Straight up impossible. It's not rewarding at all, it's just annoying, and after 8 hours of work last thing a person who's stressed during the day needs is game of this kind. I understand that some people like it, but many gamers got tricked by the reviews and the metascore. This isn't mean for the mainstream gamer, it's meant for one who likes a challenge and has a controller or two laying around to break and a lot of patience.

    Also, did the reviewers even test this crap? Performance is absolutely awful, I have a AMD RX 6600 paired with 32 GB 3600mhz and a AMD Ryzen 5600X and this game lags WAYYY too much and I don't even have the graphics set to maximum. This PC can run Cyberpunk 2077 Ultra without a problem.

    TLDR: Don't trust the Metascore, don't know what happened to this getting 95/100, it trully doesn't deserve it. If you want a good open-world rewarding game to play in your free time, get Dying Light 2 or Cyberpunk 2077, this is just bad.    … Expand

    If you were expecting them to balance enemy damage in proportion to their health and mobility, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

    If you were expecting them to finally realize they already had a sensible poise system in Dark Souls 1 and to stop trying to fix what was never broke, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

    If you were expecting them to stop gimping blocking in most boss fights in favor of rolling like they did in DS3, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

    If you were expecting them to learn how to do enemy grab attacks reasonably (i.e. not generally obnoxious with regards to damage and homing), you're going to be sorely disappointed.

    If you were expecting them to cut back on every single enemy having a wombo combo that can chunk your health, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

    If you were expecting them to cut back on staggered attack animations that give enemies the ability to hit you anyway unless you empty your stamina bar rolling and generally make evasion harder than it needs to be, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

    If you were expecting them to realize that giving AI controlled enemies the ability to parry with absolute perfection would only result in unfair deaths to the player via 1 shot, you're going to be sorely disappointed

    If you were expecting them to figure out that denying a player their full potential by limiting it with a consumable effect that is lost when you die (Rune Arc in this case, Cinders in DS3) is an asinine idea with exactly 0 merit, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

    If you were expecting them to make a primary feature (lock on camera) finally be more a help than a hindrance, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

    If you were expecting them to handle fall damage well, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

    If you were expecting them to make it so you can't be hit and killed when you're not able to actually control your character (being pancaked, etc), you're going to be sorely disappointed.

    To expand a bit further, I've personally just started referring to the design philosophy that seems to guide FS as "Anti-player" or **** the player". I say this because for the 3rd game in a row (I'm exempting Bloodborn from this castigation because it at least had the rally mechanic and other compensatory features) FromSoftware has hit on all the predictable trademarks that have come to dominate their poor design.

    Every enemy has a wombo combo, i.e. a combo that hits for outrageous damage or # of hits. This compounds with the next 2 points heavily.

    Every enemy can hit you regardless of where you are in relation to them because they can just 180, have exaggerated attack animations or just have an animation that involves them holding their attack, running up to you, and hitting you anyway, or any combination of the 3.

    Every build that isn't fast and focused on dodging is made to feel vastly inferior because they refuse to acknowledge that they can't come up with poise systems that are better than what they had in Dark Souls 1.

    The number of deaths I had to deal with because I literally could not move for various reasons in ratio to the ones that were genuinely my fault (and lord are they many) is actually staggering. You can get hit, rendered unable to move or roll or act, then hit again. Combined with aforementioned lack of balance around damage done to the player, you typically are not going to survive the second hit.

    They fumble the open world aspect because there is negligible space between "no fall damage" and "knee-shattering instant death", they don't even restore your mounts health when you respawn.

    Having recently replayed through Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3 in their entirety, I'm left to draw one of two different conclusions:

    Option A: They are unable to balance things properly just because, and that Dark Souls 1 being largely really well done in that regard was nothing short of a cosmic stroke of luck.

    Option B: They simply don't care to, because again, their game design philosphy over the years has gone from "tough but fair" to **** the player"

    I'm not entirely sure which would be the most depressing. I'm done with FromSoft tbh, bring on the "not helpful" brigades because I dared hang them out to dry.    … Expand

    I have now played more than 40 hours of Elden Ring. I killed two of the major bosses (out of three) and reached the Grand Lift of Dectus before I decided enough was enough.
    First, what the game does well.
    Feel and tone
    It lets you get a feel for the game without throwing things in your face. This could have been done better, but it is nice to experience a game where, as you go through, more unfolds before you.
    Bugs.
    This game is quite well polished. It is relatively bug-free. In forty hours of gameplay, I only ran into one serious bug.
    What the game does poorly.
    Music.
    Although the musical score is very nice, the music is poorly implemented. You know whether something is intended to be an easy fight or a hard fight, just based on the music, and it changes your tactics. When the music indicates this is meant to be a tough fight, you hang back and take stock a little to learn your opponents' moves.
    Combat.
    The combat is dull, repetitive, and cliché. You are playing in a Quick Time Event (QTE). In fact, the whole game is one long QTE. You see the horse rear back, hit dodge. You see the guy with the halberd pull their arm back for a lunging strike, hit parry. Every enemy has a slightly different indicator of what button to hit when, but they are all the same tactics.
    Enemies.
    They are all laughable and trite. Seriously, they are bad. It's like the game designers went to a five-year-old and asked them what a cool monster would be. "Oh, a giant head, on a go-kart, that shoots flaming harpoons from its mouth….."
    Seriously? The creatures you encounter seem to have no relationship with each other. Some are animals, some are weird inanimate things, and some are people, but none seems consistent.
    Gameplay.
    The objective of the game is to kill three big bosses. The only indication you get as to where they are is that you get a little golden line at some respawn points that show you roughly the direction you need to go.
    Death is an integral part of the game. Many people told me the game is good because it is so hard unforgiving. But it is probably the most forgiving game released in recent years. Death means nothing, nothing at all. If you die, you drop runes. But this doesn't matter, you can go pick them back up, and as you can run around most enemies, you can literally just run to where you died, pick them up, run to the nearest spawn point, let anyone pursuing you kill you. Now you respawn right here, with no enemies — as they also reset — and pick up your runes. It's pointless.
    Consider this to a more traditional game. If you die in a more traditional game, you have to load your previous save. The experience, money etc, you got is gone. Every enemy you killed is alive again. In
    Atmosphere.
    The game is void of anything worthwhile, there are numerous tilesets, but they don't do anything different to each other, just look different. The world is devoid of content, vapid at best. You have virtually no people, no characters, no justification for anything being anywhere. It's just a perpetual rule of cool. Lovely ruins, why are there? Who knows, there's no lore about it. There's no perceived purpose for the building. It's just there.
    Not only this, the world is big and empty. You can spend ages just running from place to place, no fighting, nothing interesting to look at, nothing interesting to do, just run.
    Character creation.
    Wow, this takes the cake, you get given the choice of three classes, with no explanation about the differences between the classes, and you begin at level 8, and none of it is explained or even makes sense.
    NPCs.
    The NPCs you meet in the game are quite frankly **** They give you no reasoning as to why they are there. They are all tropey to the point of making my teeth hurt, and, for the most part, they would have been just as compelling if they were a roadside sign that you had to read.
    Lore.
    I like the lore, but it's here instead of what they did well because the lore has virtually no intersection with gameplay. Every item gives you snippets of lore. If you want it all, be a completionist and collect everything.
    Story
    Well, no, the story is crap. The story, in essence, is that you are at a tipping point, and how you level up your character is meant to reflect the tittering balance of the world around you. But you don't have a story here. The story is found in the lore, which undercuts the entire game but never intersects with it. There is no story in the gameplay.
    Conclusion
    Is Elden Ring good? No. It's trite, repetitive; boring; large, but not full; lacking consequence and impact. It's flagged as an RPG, but it isn't you don't play a character. All you do is allocate stats. You don't make choices that matter; you go through the motions. It is an entirely linear game in a non-linear environment, and it suffers because of it.    … Expand

    Worst PC port and boring open world. Other than interesting bosses this game has nothing. It has Lore but no game story. graphics from 2013. Cyberpunk is less buggy on PC compared to this madness. To fromsoft, please do not make PC games. Pathetic excuse for souls like genre.

    One of the best game ever made.
    Maybe the best ARPG ever made.
    Surely the game of the decade.
    FS are artists, it's rich, long, epic, marvelous, addictive and most over we must discover the world without any arrow or help like all in the "modern" open world.
    Moreover the game is more accessible than previous souls game, you can make your game etc.

    a 10/10 well deserved.

    Everything about the game feels wrong. Not even a single thing makes me think it is right.

    -Multiplayer is Buggy as hell, all the functions work clunky, the mount gets in bug, the server connection gets in bug, there are tons of visual bugs, teleporting doesn't work right, quests are not functioning right, etc.

    -Some classes are op while some others are weak asf, such as the blade of bandit hits only 15 while the mage skill hits 350 and the scaling makes no sense at all while leveling up.

    -Even some little mob can 2 hit you in this game, which is not the problem, but the problem is that these little mobs are coming so often and they have very terrible hitting animations that makes it almost impossible to dodge, block (blocking is terrible anyways), and every time you die that makes you walk 3 more minutes to the little mob you died and you repeat that sometimes over 10 times. You walk that reasonless checkpoint-mob way for 30 minutes in a run.

    -Playing archer is over pointless, where you have to get your arrows by buying for an expensive price, since you mostly need around 15-20 arrows to kill one weak mob (75-45 damage per arrow) that only gives you 100 points, which you waste almost 300 - 600 points to buy those arrows, or you have to grind some 10-15 minutes of mobs to replenish those arrows with crafting, which is WASTE OF TIME while you can do 350 damage with a little portion of your mana.

    -Most of the items found in the wilderness give no clue about how to use them, and even if they do they are useless most of the time that feels like just cosmetic roleplaying consumable stuff that wastes your time even more.

    -Story stinks from the beginning, is very boring, nonsense, non-clear, chaotic, and it even makes you consider why this game does have a story for real. In my opinion, it could be better if there was no "FORCING IT" to storytelling in this game.

    -Map design is very complex, it doesn't show anything really, you don't know where you should be or are going.

    -Animations are... No comment, really.

    -Bosses or mobs don't have a clear attacking pattern, they are attacking very randomly that is hitting you 1/2 of or the whole of your health which makes you run another 3 more minutes. Which is already impossible to dodge or block (which doesn't need to be added into the game if it was going to work this poorly).

    +Only thing good about this game might be the graphics, the graphics are good, but only graphics doesn't make the game fun while it is suffering from mechanic, engine, and gameplay aspects.

    Conclusion:
    The game is Exaggerated after I played and experienced it. This game is for people who probably like suffering, hardcore mental grind, and a game that is unpolished and broken all the way. This game started a genre and popularity that drove lots of indie or developer corporations to make "Souls-like" games more and not even one of them was successful for God's sake. They need to stop doing these terrible game-set-driven games where they don't Success "AT ALL". Only the "FromSoftware" games about souls-like were successful, not all of them of course, and yet they were all probably rigged or exaggerated in my opinion. I played all of the dark souls or its copies, and they were SUFFERING my enjoyment, a game was meant to make me enjoy while these were making me get frustrated and wanted me to leave the game immediately.    … Expand

In this kind of open world, how can you still care about graphics fidelity, art direction and style trumps graphics fidelity anytime.

    Elden Ring bosses are hard, harder than any souls game before. I too, died countless times to Margit, Godrick and the other. For some who think the combat is unfair and cheap, seriously, go watch youtuber Ongbal. How could it be cheap and unfair when ALL bosses attack has been proven to be dodgeable or parryable. Just don't give up, learn the game mechanics, learn from your mistake, use your imagination and come up with a plan.

    The game won't handhold you for anything, not the combat, not the quest and not even for the story. If you want to know the lore and story, then explore, talk to npcs, defeat bosses, read item description... or just watch Youtube.

    Im with a 2070 and a ryzen 5 5800x, and in all game qualitys low/medium/high/maximum with any resolution 1080p/1440p i get this 30 FPS.

    Isnt only that enought:

    - Game has a CAP on 60 FPS
    - Do not support ultra-wide monitors
    - Constant Stutterings
    - Poor pvp online in comparated with DS series
    - Constant Crashes
    - Constant Frame Drops
    - Invisible enemys (Not renderized).
    - Do not recognize your Dedicated GPU
    - Bricks PCs on quiting.
    - Horses do not appears sometimes when called.
    - EAC (Easy anti-cheat) do not let the game starts.
    - Freezings.

    Im with 70 hours of game and the unic thing that i dont like to much about the game itself is the new PVP mechanichs (invading mechanichs). And the game do not innovate im almost nothing but still a good game with doesnt have this HORRORIBLE PERFORMANCE issues i will probably review with an 8.0 or 9.0.

    Honestly: I regret the 30 hours of frustration i had, and the hilarious amount i paid for it.
    It basically is just a fighting simulator. There is nothing more in this game. Run around, fight difficult to impossible (for me) battles, grind endlessly, progress extremely slowly, and, from time to time, discover items that may or may not be useful for you.
    You will die a lot, lose all character progress regulairly, and generally, have no idea what this game is actually about. The story is non-existent, the world is extremely lifeless, and just filled with enemies that wait only or you, and the storyline will come to an end pretty fast, because you will just not be able to beat the bosses. At least, if you are a casual gamer iike me.
    Which forces you to battle easy opponents forever, as rewards and character developement are hardly more than a cosmetic feature.

    Of course there are ways to exploit the game, but as soon as i need youtube in a tab to achieve any chance of progression, a game has failed for me.

    My last experience in this game, after exploring the whole starting region desperately, was a sorceress who finally enabled me to learn new spells. Which gave me hope, that the torture had come to an end.
    And guess what: Those spells are far weaker than the weak ones, that you start with. Its a slap in the face, and im sure, that its an intended one.

И вы не подумайте, мне нравится , что они никак не отображаются и дают ток направление, куда нужно идти ( я играл в морровинд и обливион) , но вот мой блокнот надо было б поместить в игру и возможность купить его у торговца за 100 душ.

    - Записать что-то.
    -Зачеркнуть написанный текст.

Хотя в одиссее мне понравилось, что можно выбрать возможность только по ориентирам находить нужную локацию, но вот подсветка объекта на определенной дистанции с помощью орла я считаю лишней.

    It keeps on stuttering and freezing, sometimes it doesn't even start remaining on a white screen forever. This situation makes some enemies impossible to beat, just because the game crumbles on itself when you are near them.
    The fighting system is annoying and unfair for the player, to make an example: if you manage to knock an enemy to the ground it becomes invincible and you can't attack them. You would guess that the same goes for you, but no. If you get knocked down you receive a combo that kills you.
    The major bosses almost instakill you after one hit. The magic system is overpowered, and doing a parry is almost pointless because the combo that you can do after the parry, does the same damage that you would do with a charged attack. To make everything worse it's extremely hard to do because you can't understand when the enemies hit you. ( this is especially true for the major bosses ). Also, there are a lot of attacks that aren't parry-able, and there is no prompt or indication that they can't be parried. The mechanic of blocking the attacks is really interesting because you can follow it with a combo. But it is doable only on small enemies because after a boss combo you don't have enough stamina left to attack, and instead receive an attack in your face.
    The game feels generally old and every animation, every weapon, every combo has a feel of "already seen".
    If you go to an advanced area and beat an enemy that would have killed you in two hits, you receive the same exp that you would get beating the same enemy in his weaker version, in the starting zone. It is completely mental because advancing in the game, you need progressively more exp to level up, but the enemies give you always the same amount, even the harder ones.
    The game gives you the illusion to have the possibility to fuse a lot of styles, magics, weapons, armors, and abilities. But in reality, the only sensible ones reduce to a number countable with your fingers. This is especially true for armors, which are incredibly useless to one another, with really small chances between them and just a couple of them being really useful. I didn't understand the weight mechanic... between "medium-weight" and "light-weight" changes literally nothing. Moving speed is the same, attack speed is the same, you roll in the same way...
    The soundtrack is ok, nothing special. I've played dozens of hours and I can't recall even one track... so yeah, they work, but nothing memorable.
    The "new" mechanics are also annoying. The jump is utterly pointless because in the open world you can jump essentially nowhere, resolving in the end always using your mount jump. In a "closed" environment instead, it just becomes a way to give you anxiety and frustration. It opens new possibilities to explore the environment and have smart shortcuts, but the majority of them are on a freefall down, which in this game means INSTANT death. It wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for the fact that you respawn at the last checkpoint, and even if you manage to survive all the enemies on the road to get where you died, you could just slip down one of the platforms and LOSE ALL THE EXP you have collected to that moment. ( which could be a lot since going further in the game, you start to require something like 25.000 runes to level up ONE level; and the enemies give you around 150 runes average ).
    This could be acceptable if the jump mechanic was implemented decently in the game. But that isn't the case, the jump is hard to calibrate and sometimes unpredictable.

    I would recommend this game if you like exploration and BIG boss battles. Those are two points in which this game excels, It doesn't even seem the same game. Weird is... the game usually stutters less on the big bosses compared to the small ones. Also, being the Big B.s big you can challenge them also on your mount. Which is super satisfying. The exploration is always interesting and pretty much diverse even tho the story is comparable to a headache and is really confused.

    Overall it isn't a bad game. but not a good one either.
    It has its very good things, but sadly it also has HUGE negative and annoying things.

    P.S. during frame drops, enemies are literally invisible.    … 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.
