    An improvement over the previous games, world is fun to explore, cool secrets, loot and world bosses. The story is great and the bosses are very fun for the most part.

    There are some frame drops, most of which happen while mounted, or raining, . But there are no gamebreaking bugs, and the game was stable for me for 99% of the time, certainly more stable than Sekiro or DS3

    the game graphics look like an old game, huge drops in frames especially in online, the online freezes the game sometimes and the only solution is to close it, the game was not ready to be released it's the cyberpunk soulslike version.

    Elden Ring is a good game, but... The game has a big optimization problem. Looks like it's from 2017 on the graphisc. Musics bad. You should be ashamed of bluepoint.

    Sadly, the truth is that the game is the weakest of the Souls lot. The open world aspect is PS3 era, and so are the game mechanics. And while Fromsoft's visual style was brill back when Bloodborne launched, its all just rather dreary and dismal today.
    As a game its playable, like all souls games, after bit of practice. But like with earlier FromSoft games, it suffers from lack of story and lack of direction and meaningful goals. You just try to get your hero stronger to beat the next boss around, just like you did in previous games, and that is all. Way too basic to last. And as far as cinematics go, they're all pretty clumsy when compared to the utterly brill cinematics of Ghost of Tsushima.
    Would I recommend this game to anyone? Well, I loved the older Souls games, and this one, frankly, lacks the magic of them. So no. Wait till it is on sale, as by then they will have, hopefully, polished it up a bit as well.    … Expand

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

    I’m sorry, but a game releasing in 2022 with PS3 level graphics that constantly fluctuates from 30 - 60 FPS (even in performance mode) is unacceptable.

Furthermore, even if we disregard the frame rate issues, I’m not impressed with the gameplay at all. This has easily the clunkiest combat of any souls game so far; I find the movement is often unresponsive, and the hit boxes are horribly implemented. I’ll also add that if you weren’t a fan of Dark Souls, this game isn’t for you. It’s effectively Dark Souls 3, but this time it’s open world. Speaking of open world, let’s discuss that shall we? The map is pretty big, and gives you a lot of freedom and exploration possibilities, which is nice. However, there’s very little environmental variety, like at all. It’s all a very similar bleak landscape that never changes. This would be fine if the game was linear, but, for a game that encourages exploration so much, it kinda makes it feel repetitive. Perhaps a bigger issue, however, is that there simply isn’t a whole lot going on in the world. In many of the reviews for this game (particularly ign’s), they state that the game has a lot of variety in special events happening in the open world. However, I found that most of these “special” events are limited to being ambushed by enemy’s. That’s really the meat of exploring the map, is being ambushed by enemies. This is alleviated somewhat by the fact that the game has excellent enemy variety, from both a visual and mechanical standpoint. Though I don’t think that’s enough to save it from feeling repetitive (especially considering that many of the enemies are recycled from past FromSoftware games). Finally, I’ll talk about the traversal itself. The main positive here is that this is the first FromSoftware title to add a jump button, which is pretty necessary for this game. Beyond that though, it sort of goes downhill from there. There’s no climbing mechanic, no underwater exploration, no flying mechanics, etc. Are these things necessary to the game? No. But for as much as the reviews emphasized the “freedom of exploration” this game provides to you, it sort of rings hollow once you actually enter the game. So yeah, those are my thoughts as of right now. I know I am very much in the minority when I say this, but that’s how I feel. I would’ve given it a higher rating if it simply had a framerate lock option (even at 30fps!). But for me, personally, I have a hard time playing game with fluctuating framerates (especially to this degree)… Expand
