   Desde 2011,Eu demorei mais de 200 horas pra avaliar porque não conseguia parar. Facilmente, posso dizer que esse é o jogo da minha vida.
   
   Desde 2011, com 15 anos, eu tentei jogar Dark Souls e sempre desistia porque, além de não ter tempo, eu não tinha habilidade pra isso. Achei muito difícil e punitivo, sentia que não conseguia evoluir, pois os Dark Souls são meio "lineares" se compararmos à Elden Ring. Logo, passei o resto da adolescencia em outros jogos que me davam uma sensação ótima de recompensa por explorar, lutar, fazer as quests, etc. Achei que jamais voltaria a tentar jogar um "souls like" outra vez.
   
   Porém, em 2022 minha surpresa foi grande ao saber que eu poderia explorar muito mais, sem ser tão punido, poderia praticamente explorar quase o mapa todo antes de poder enfrentar o primeiro boss. As mecânicas de jogo, a curva de aprendizado, a IA dos inimigos, a variedade de armas, armaduras, talismãs, magias, encantamentos e possibilidades de builds são gigantescas. É muito prazeroso jogar (entendam que eu coloco essas classes "clássicas" do meu ponto de vista) de mage, rogue, warrior, paladin, archer... enfim, não há como não se divertir. TEM GENTE ZERANDO COM TOCHA COMO ARMA, POR FAVOR!
   
   Depois de conseguir todas as conquistas, eu fui para os outros jogos da From Software e consegui completar não só a trilogia Dark Souls, mas Sekiro também (que venha Bllodbourne e Demon Souls para PC!). Elden Ring abriu novamente a porta dos RPGs de ação souls like para mim. Posso dizer facilmente que o GOTY foi mais que merecido, o jogo não peca em nada na minha visão. Facilmente vai ser um dos jogos, senão o, mais jogados da minha vida. E, sim, eu prefiro ele do que Skyrim, podem me julgar.… Expand

   Hilarious to see people complain about the difficulty, missing quest logs or the combat system when Souls-like clearly isn't their genre. It'sHilarious to see people complain about the difficulty, missing quest logs or the combat system when Souls-like clearly isn't their genre. It's like attending a Rammstein concert and complaining about the lack of techno. Put these foolish ambitions to rest. Elden Ring is everything Soulsborne fans love & even better and bigger.

   TLDR: Open world DS3 with a few minor additions.

   Full disclosure: I have not completed Elden Ring and don't plan to for now. I bought into the hype and regret dropping full price on this game so I'm hoping my review might help those still on the fence about buying this game. I have beaten Demons Souls, Darks Souls 1-3, Bloodborne so I do have experience with prior Fromsoft games and have enjoyed them. The technical issues with the PC port have already been covered ad nauseum so I'll go over some of the other aspects of the game.
   
   Gameplay:
   Basically the same as Dark Souls 3 with a few minor changes: 1) addition of jump button, 2) addition of mount and very basic mounted combat, 3) addition of guard cancel, 4) weapon arts are now equippable ("ashes of war" in Elden Ring). Veterans of the Souls series will feel right at home whereas the slower, calculated and methodical style of combat may take some getting used to for newcomers. Button mashing will get you killed very quickly in this game and even trash mobs can tear you apart.
   
   What was once revolutionary and spawned the whole subgenre of "Soulslike" games has become stale, predictable, and formulaic. Most of the enemies are reskins from the prior entries and in some cases, reused assets (eg. the giant crabs). Yes, the game is punishingly difficult but much of that difficulty is artificial from things like janky camera angles, busted hitboxes that pass through walls, gank squads in tight quarters, enemy projectiles defying the laws of physics, etc. Bosses attack relentlessly and you'll find yourself dodging for what feels like an eternity for a safe opportunity to counterattack, only to deal like 2% of their health. You'll likely die to greed, trying to get some more hits in on the boss because you're so bored of doing nothing but dodging yet another unending combo.
   
   For fans of the Souls series, this may be everything you wanted and for newcomers, this may still be fresh and exciting. For those who've played the Souls series and were hoping for some fresh gameplay, you won't find it here.
   
   World Design:
   The biggest change in Elden Ring from the Souls series is the introduction of an open world. For many, this is a breath of fresh air and one of their favourite features of Elden Ring. The world is massive and you can easily spend hours just exploring, opening up many possibilities for non-linear progression. Unfortunately for me, once I got passed the initial beauty of the world, I found it to be mostly empty and lifeless, and I found spending hours riding around on my mount looking for things to do tedious and boring. You will encounter random enemy mobs scattered throughout but the reward for killing them wasn't worth the effort so I just started riding around them. The optional dungeons I explored felt pointless, akin to the Chalice dungeons in Bloodborne.
   
   If you follow the recommended path through the game, you will likely be severely underleveled for the first main boss so exploration of optional content is clearly encouraged by design. Sadly, I don't find the exploration in Elden Ring to be interesting enough for the time investment required and this is the main reason why I don't plan on finishing Elden Ring, while I do plan on finishing DS3. However, many people love the aspect of exploration and discovery in Elden Ring so you may have a very different experience from me.
   
   Story:
   Like all the prior Souls titles, the story of Elden Ring is told cryptically in fragments mainly from NPC dialogue and item descriptions. George RR Martin was involved in the writing which I never would have guessed since the lore seems to basically be a reskin of the prior Souls titles. There are 1:1 equivalents for almost everything. The Elden Ring = First flame, Tarnished = chosen undead/ashen one, Site of Grace = Bonfire, Crimson Flask = Estus flask etc. Souls games have always required multiple playthroughs to unlock all the different endings and different NPC questlines to piece together the lore. The lore is often rich and interesting but I frankly don't have the time to go through the effort and will be watching some youtube lore videos to experience the story.
   
   Some people love this mysterious style of narrative and I enjoyed it with the prior Souls games as well. However, it really is just feeling like more of the same at this point and even the basic premise is similar to the prior games and I guess I was hoping for something fresh.
   
   Overall:
   Elden Ring is a very good game but isn't for everyone. Fans of the Souls series who just wanted more of the same will enjoy this and newcomers who don't mind the challenge will likely get sucked in as well. However, for players like me who enjoyed the Souls games but were expecting something new, Elden Ring falls shorts. Maybe I just don't like open world games? 7/10.… Expand

That being said i would love a game to be made out of this story thats for enjoyment rather than whatever this is… Expand
