    there is so much stuff in this game also they have a good reason for reusing things because there is so much in this game and it makes the game even better so it ends up being a positive. I have also played some of their other games too.    … Expand

    As a negative point, I would say that a diary or similar is missing with which to follow the missions. Also, the animations of the character to get up or drink potions are very slow and it is somewhat frustrating not to have control over him for so long.

    Elden Ring strips down the core aspects of gaming (combat, platforming, exploration) and hones them into near perfection. The result is a remarkably tight hack and slash adventure that provides near endless replayability. The art direction is often jaw-dropping, as seen both in the open world (such as Nokron and Liurnia) and in the imaginative menagerie of bosses (Ancestor Spirit, Mohg).Elden Ring strips down the core aspects of gaming (combat, platforming, exploration) and hones them into near perfection.

Pelo que vi, é o melhor de todos os jogos dela em um só lugar, com mais liberdade e um pouco de exploração. Bosses únicos bem criativos, design impecável e boa variedade de inimigos, apesar de alguns se repetirem um pouco.

    Open world fits in the soulsborne games perfectly. You can see people say "It's dark souls 3 with mount and jumping". You can be sure about jumping and mount really matters in the soulsborne games and that caused with level designs considering to these mechanics. So that two mechanics aren't minor **** or sth. It is one of the best games you can ever play and best game of 2022 since Feb for now

    Super fantastic game but what else can you expect when George RR. Martin and Miyazaki work together.
    The only downside is that the game occasionally has FPS drops and crashes.
    Otherwise, one of the few games where you can not go wrong if you buy it at full price. Especially if you are into the Souls genre.

    Gameplay wise, it's varied with lots of cool weapons and differents playstyles. I prefer games with simple controls where you need good reflexes and game knowledge than just farming for better gear until you can tank more hits than your opponent. These type of games are usually unbalanced and too easy in late game or too hard early game.
    Story is cool but, like sekiro or dark soul, the lore is what makes it very interesting. This is the type of game where you question yourself about everything and you go online to look for answers and you realise that you barely touched the depth of the lore (just like lords of the ring, for exemple)

    Elden Ring doesn't innovate enough, like the original Dark Souls, to merit the shower of praise it has received from critics. And it doesn't excel in atmosphere and storytelling in its genre like Bloodborne does. Without these things, I cannot consider it a masterpiece.

    This game made me feel like a kid again. I had gotten to a point where I enjoyed playing video games but they didn't hit in the way that Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask did when I was younger. The sheer awe and wonder I felt exploring new areas, and the fear and anticipation of not knowing what you'd face next.

    The game is a masterpiece, like it or not. Of course it's difficult, but that's just part of the game. The thing is: You level yourself not only your character.

    Pc version of the game is as good as the console counterparts but with some performance issues depending on how good your pc is. I played on a RTX2070 and countered only some freezes every 10 hours of play.

    Still a must play on pc or console++.

    In my opinion, this is GOTY. Sekiro was my first ever Fromsoft game, after which came Elden RIng, and I had never played through an entire game with this little hand-holding before.

    Artisticamente insuperable, el juego tiene un apartado artístico inmaculado, incluso sus paisajes nos recuerdan a pinturas romanticistas. Tiene además más variedad de armamento que ningún otro juego de FromSoftware. Una experiencia inolvidable.

    Elden Ring is by far the most innovative game produced by From Software in the last decade, culminating all the things they've learned along the way. Popping out of the linear game design of the previous titles gives the player base more play on the way they approach the game, alleviating the notorious difficulty the previous titles have had.

    Very good, its a souls-game just improved upon with bigger lore and more broad gameplay opportunity also that its open world which makes it fun to explore and get better equipment use on the bosses.

    Si no les gustó el juego y nunca antes habían jugado un souls les recomiendo que le den otra oportunidad. Cuando yo jugué dark souls años atrás no me gustó la primera vez, el sistema de combate lo encontraba incomodo, estaba perdido en un mundo que no te decía a donde ir, y encontraba el juego injusto. Pero una vez que entiendes el sistema de combate, y logras pasar el primer filtro de dificultad, el juego te engancha de una manera increíble. El juego no es malo, solo es distinto a la mayoría de los juegos que uno suele estar acostumbrado a jugar, y sí, es difícil, pero rara vez injusto. Si mueres en algún momento del juego suele ser por culpa tuya, y no por un error de diseño.

    Sony's trying to monopolize metacritics via buying user reviews to destroy ER reputation and praise ridiculously bad part of GOW. I'll judge fairly and hate Sony for doing it forever.

    Elden Ring is one of those games you really get involved in, you are fully immersed in the story and the amazing world has so much to offer. The game can be as hard as you want it to be, but the difficulty scaling of this game is a side show compared to the lore that this game brings. This game has revitalised the open world formula that we are so used to and i am so glad to have played this game as it is AMAZING. some repeat bosses, map could be clearer at some regions, but overall Game of the year 2022. Highly recommended to anyone who likes adventure games.    … Expand

The bosses all look both beautiful and menacing at the same time. And even when you just travel around the map, your eyes rejoice watching all this beauty. The music in this game is also great. When you fight the boss or just with the enemies, all this is accompanied by great music, which keeps you in suspense until the end of the battle, but you never get bored.

    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.
