    I wrote a 2200 characters review to be met with a 404 on submission and losing all I wrote.

    I'll just sum it up. The 20-30 first hours in the game, it is pretty much a 10/10, which I'm guessing most of these review come from. But 70-80 in, anyone can see the flaw compound, and while its world building and graphics stay at a 10, the gameplay becomes obnoxious to say the least. I've
    I wrote a 2200 characters review to be met with a 404 on submission and losing all I wrote.

    I'll just sum it up. The 20-30 first hours in the game, it is pretty much a 10/10, which I'm guessing most of these review come from. But 70-80 in, anyone can see the flaw compound, and while its world building and graphics stay at a 10, the gameplay becomes obnoxious to say the least.

    I've watched several streamers play the game and most of them seem to have their fun drop as the game goes and their only drive to finish the game is to satisfy their spectators. They are relieved when they finish the game but it is easy to see their bittersweetness regarding the game, not one of them reacted how anyone would react to a 9.6 rated game.

    The game set itself high, and deserves most of the attention it gets, but a 10? not really. The first 20 hours I was "Wow, best game ever" too, but as you go on, it is more like "I wish I had more fun playing this".

Unlike previous titles where i would just get stuck and give up. I wound constantly new ways to do stuff and get stronger, new things to explore and experience. loved every minute of it

    Not only that but after i managed to beat my first souls game, i started new game+. I have never in my life felt need or desire to play game through twice. That tells something of how special game Elden Ring is

Мультиплеер обрадовал простотой и удобством, хоть и играть с другом в Dark Souls с открытым миром оказалось не очень увлекательно. Порадовали и враги. Их много, они разные, но примерно 20-30% редизайн или копия врагов из других игр компании. Боссы пооучились разнообразными, красивыми и что самое главное - геймплейно интересными. Говоря о красоте и геймплее просто хочется сказать о восхитительном и красивом мире новой игры, ОН ВЫГЛЯДИТ ПОТРЯСАЮЩЕ! Как итог получилась хорошая игра на 100+ часов, полная контентом(который увы находится ближе к началу игры и чем дальше - тем его меньше), полная врагов и интересностей. И наконец это первая игра за 10 лет в которой открытый мир не состоит из вопросиков на карте(привет Ведьмак 3).

They have taken the best elements from Demon's and Dark Souls game and combined them with an open world design very much in the spirit of that gameplay. Does not hold your hand, gives immense freedom in character builds, you can try to cheese enemies, you can grind, you can go anywhere, making this one of the most overwhelming, but also most accessible souls experiences.

    The reward for uncoupling your brain from "but muh grephics! Where is the waypoints???!" kinda thinking can not be overstated. Instead of going through motions, you're forced to pay attention. Paying attention is a core quality of love. If you pay attention to this game instead of asking it to serve you its qualities on a silver platter you'll love it.

After a steep learning curve in which, above all else, I learned to embrace failure, I discovered the real beauty of these games. Since then I’ve spent countless hours with each of the titles that preceded Elden ring and I can honestly say that it distills the best attributes of each of those games into something close to perfection.

    Elden Ring is perhaps the most accessible souls game to date. While it can be immensely challenging from the start, the ability to explore a richly populated open world means that it’s not as relentlessly oppressive as the drudgery of reaching an impasse in previous titles. The revised combat and play forming mechanics imbue this game with a fluidity that makes it a joy to navigate, and the art style, visual effects and sound design are beautifully cinematic.

    It wasn’t until I defeated the first major boss that I caught a glimpse of the immense scale of this gaming world. What’s more impressive is how organic and living the environments and encounters feel. I am truly awe struck by this sublime creation.

    Admittedly I didn’t partake in much of the hype leading up to its release, and more or less bought it on a whim (usually I’d wait a few months until the game comes down in price); however, buying this game at launch is truly a worthy investment as the sense of community and discovery experienced by partaking in such a cultural phenomenon is nothing short of exhilarating. A word of advice for those finding themselves frustrated by its difficulty - try fingers, but hole.

There's of course the new horse gameplay and combat which is very fun, new ways to craft recipes and add signature abilities to weapons, a counter attack move which is incredibly useful for shield builds, and a lot of accessability such as control mapping. Similar to the rest of the Souls library, the game does share the same frustrating quirks like still getting hit through solid walls and the occasional bug or framerate drop (at least on last-gen platforms), but that's all outshined by the incredible presentation of the Lands Between, a place filled with so much mystery it's hard resisting the urge to discover and conquor everything there is to see. It may be too early to tell if this could win Game of the Year, but it's definitely a strong contender. Expand

    The game has pretty great challenges, and if you're a veteran Dark Souls player you're gonna enjoy this for sure.
    Unfortunately if you see the standards precedent games made by Fromsoftware, like Bloodborne or Sekiro, you can clearly see how this Elden Ring seems to be a more safe bet overall, compared with the latest production.
    I wished for something of more unusual or original,

As a seasoned DS veteran even I had a rough time starting this game. But for those newcomers, those who give up early and those who "don't get it" - you need to understand that it's your second attempt where things really kick off. Typically in a souls game you get crushed, you lose your souls, you invest in the wrong stats, but on your second attempt when you "get it", and you whack your souls in to your favourite weapon of choice you will breeze through what was previously difficult - and that's the hook to these games.

    For Dark Souls fans like myself - it's an odd start. It's unusual to have the wide open world, however everything else plays very much like Dark Souls. As soon as I found my first cave, learned how to summon and whacked a few points in Dex - I was hooked. You can open your map - find something that looks odd, whack a beacon there and travel. You will gladly get distracted by interests and oddities along the way - and every little settlement, cave and outpost feels meaningful, with great rewards.

    You have to trust in From. They have your user experience at heart. You have to know that these guys excel at hiding away incredible locations, quests and items for you to discover, and you're just not going to see any of that with 10 hours of gameplay. People are too quick to pick up a controller and give up nowadays. In the 90's when you had one game a year, you'd explore every inch. And that's how you play this game. It's a marathon not a sprint!

    Ultimately - it looks, plays and feels like Dark Souls in an open world, with lots of smaller interesting dungeons and bigger set pieces. No - the graphics aren't incredible, but the atmosphere is there. The souls series has never set out to be a graphical masterpiece - and I'd rather they keep doing what they are doing, producing compelling, stellar games - than bust out one boring yet graphically impression EA / Ubisoft title per year.

    You might be daunted by the big open world, whether you're a dark souls fan or not. I know I was - but trust the process and let it sink it's teeth in to you - and you'll be coming back to drop a 9 in these reviews.

The open world is amazing and I could just walk or ride in a direction and I would find something new and cool. I like the starting class options a lot cooler than before with in my eyes more different option. People are still saying it´s not more accessible but it really is. You just have to take the lose and go a different direction or if its a fight in the open world run to it with your horse get your runes and run away and then go fight more enemies and level. I really recommend but you have to give it a real chance because the first boss you see is stronger than you on purpose so you learn to go away and level up. Expand

    É nítido que o padrão Fromsoftware de dificuldade no jogo imposta foi aprimorado e aumentada consideravelmente, isso torna a gameplay mais insano e brutal além do Farm que tem que ser feito muito mais do que antes pra elevar o nível do personagens, itens, magias, etc.

    The game is alternating between challenging and easy, depending of your skills. And the liberty it give you is rewarding. It does not take you by the hand and tell you what to do. No it is your aventure! In that mindset, you will have a lot of fun.

    Now let's talk about people that are giving negative reviews to the gam.
    "It has PS3 graphics", no it doesn't, you can clearly see the difference between DS3 and ER, it doesnt have next-gen graphics because its a cross-platform game, you all should be happy its available for old-gen.
    "The world is dead and theres nothing to do", if your dumbass had played the game for more than 5 minutes you would know thats not true.
    "There is no story", literally just play the game, you skipped every cutscene and now want to blame the game for something you did.
    "Soundtrack is bad", if you had at least played the game up until the first boss you would know its not bad.
    "Extremely buggy and unstable", I have to agree a little bit here, but not much, I have 50+ hours into the game, and the only bug I found was one I jumped near a cliffside, my character suddenly slides down the cliff without me touching the controller and takes damage but doesnt die, that was a one time thing, never happened again, and about Fps, yes, it does have some Fps drops some times (and very rarely), but they are almost unnoticeable, if those little drops annoy you, youre probably some **** that thinks 120 Fps is bad.

    There’s one item in the game that wrecks everything especially bosses because it removes a huge chunk of %hp and it’s available early on in the game. There’s a difference between not having stamina on your character which keeps you from acting, BUT it’s horrible when you have full stamina and your character decides not to role or attack… or you can’t change weapon.
    Bosses have huge hit boxes… This game feels unfinished, like Anthem. I’m really not sure what music the reviewers are talking about, it’s the same combat music throughout the game. Repetitive…
    If you guys ever played dragons dogma, that’s basically the graphics. It’s especially noticeable on cloth clothing. R.R Martin really only gave suggestions, BTW not sure if they’ll get sued but a few of the enemies are from Game of Thrones… Example the tall soldiers with long white hair, frozen skin with ice javelins.
    Masterpiece… No… Decent maybe. I’ve lost a lot of respect for many of these profesional reviewers. It’s an okay game. There’s a formula to masterpiece games and Zelda nailed it. The map isn’t big, compared to other games. The only thing really going for this game is it’s pedigree. It’s like a minor upgrade from demon souls, and that’s even a thin line.

    Some occasional frame drops? ZERO OUT OF TEN!

    Are you people serious? The rest of the game is an absolute triumph of art and design, as well as a culmination of most of the best mechanics from From Soft's game library, but you'll trash it for stuttering every once in a while? What a bunch of babies. The problem with Cyberpunk 2077 at launch wasn't just that it had a bad framerate.

    The problem with Cyberpunk 2077 at launch wasn't just that it had a bad framerate. The problem was that it would crash all the time, the AI was atrocious, entire features felt missing, and characters would just spawn in random locations sometimes. Elden Ring hasn't crashed for me once, the enemy AI are quite sophisticated, the game is packed to the brim with great content, and mechanically, everything seems really solid. And the performance hitches will probably be improved with patches over time.

    Do these people not remember Blighttown? Would they also give the original Dark Souls a 0/10 because of its occasional hitches? Or Bloodborne, which is locked at 30 FPS for the entire game? Is that a 0/10? Or Skyrim, which still has tons of bugs TO THIS DAY? Definitely a 0/10.

    None of these reviews are serious.

    The game is not perfect, and I can absolutely understand docking a few points for performance hitches or language limitations if those things matter to you. Maybe a 7/10 or a 6/10, or heck, even a 3/10 if those things really, really matter to you. But a 0/10 for a game that is so clearly not garbage is not a useful review to anyone. It's just useless spite from people who want to feel smart for not liking a popular thing.
