    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".    … Expand

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).

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.    … Expand

    FRAME RATE DROPS AND GRAPHICS AREN'T AS IMPORTANT AS THE GAMEPLAY. This game is amazing. The story, the music, the art style, the gameplay itself is all absolutely amazing. If you are debating on getting this game and love other Fromsoftware games: GET THIS GAME!

    It's incredibly fun, has good stealth, lots to do, great co-op and A LOT of fun. Seriously, it's the best game I've played in years.

    На удивление очень хорошо выглядит на обычной PS4. Гораздо четчё и красивее той же Ds3. Но фреймпейсинг из Бладборна немного подбешивает, хотя со временем привыкаешь. Геймплейно очень понравилась. Дизайн боссов тоже крутой (хотя не у всех, босс из обучения вообще ужас - рядовой моб). Открытый мир интересно исследовать, хотя предметам для крафта могли бы и чуть больше смысла придать. ВНа удивление очень хорошо выглядит на обычной PS4. Гораздо четчё и красивее той же Ds3.

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.    … Expand

The combat is tight with way more variety than I've have seen from previous games, the open world is huge and populated with tons of things to do, horseback gameplay is awesome inside and out of combat.

    Most accessible From Software game. Open world is fun to explore and thrilling when you run across an open world boss. Only complaint is that multiplayer should be more like typical multiplayer instead of From Softwares usual formula.
