    Haven't completed the game yet but have played several hours of it and keep finding new things to discover. It's the kind of game you can play for hours until you get tired and then you pick it up again an hour later cause you can't stop thinking about it. If you enjoy soulsborne games then you'll likely enjoy this.

    GOTY 2022 worthy. My first souls game but definetely not the last. This game reminds me of old games that use to be challenging. The design is epic and the amount of things to do is endless. I am addicted.

    Итак, ознакомился с данным шедевром от Миядзаки сана на ps4 pro. И начну пожалуй с минусов. Не лучшая оптимизация. Из критических багов встретил только зависания в деревьях при прыжке с лошади и последующая смерть персонажа.

Из критических багов встретил только зависания в деревьях при прыжке с лошади и последующая смерть персонажа. Фреймрейт в целом приемлемый, хотя просадки есть, они, как и положено, раздражают, но в целом это не так критично. О графике трудно судить ввиду устаревшей консоли, но если говорить о картинке в целом, то она целостная. Ну и конечно же художники постарались на славу, да это не такой целостный мир, как например дс1. Но и масштабы этих миров сравнивать не очень приемлемо, как по мне. Далее о геймплее, некоторое оружие поломано. Из того что я встретил это катана реки крови, которая у меня не получила бонусов урона от скейлов и двуручник гатса, который при улучшении на +25 и закалке на тяжесть выдаёт меньше урона чем при улучшении на +24 и той же закалке, при чем меньше как базового урона, так и урона от скейла(с другими закалками такой проблемы нет). Теперь о хорошем. 65 часов, выбита платина и игра абсолютно не надоела. Боссы, исследование, чувство первооткрывателя, всё это отлично работает, особенно последнее, в силу специфики открытого мира. Играть круто и интересно, билдостроение пестрит новыми красками не забывая об истоках. Прокачаны анимации и касты многих заклинаний(в сравнении с предыдущими играми автора). Нпц и лор, в целом похожи на тот же дарк, примерная концепция та же, но есть больше дворцовых интриг, что наверняка пошло от сооавтора истории Дж. Мартина,но в целом это новый лор, новыми персонажами и событиями, опять же, схожи именно концепция, а не история. Подводя итог, лично мне как любителю серии, игра зашла абсолютно, всё чего я ожидал от игры оправдал себя. Отсылки на берсерка, мрачная, неоднозначная история, упадок мира, неочевидные квесты и конечно же крутые боссы. Смело могу заявить что лучший dark souls это elden ring. А бал минусанул за повторяющихся мини-боссов и самую лёгкую платину в соулсборн серии Миядзаки… Expand

The only thing that kills this game being 10/10 for me is a repetitive side bosses. Yes, it's graphics aren't on Tsushima levels, but the artistic side it slaps any game to date. The performance can take a dip - but it never happened in a fight or a major story event.

    This game deserves all the love it gets, it's just not for everyone, and it's not like any other gane.    … Expand

    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.    Some occasional frame drops? ZERO OUT OF TEN!

    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.    … Expand

    I've played all the FromSoftware titles and in all honesty, this title ranks bottom with Dark souls 2.

    It could have been a potentially awesome game but it was marred by lack of optimization. I can totally understand if this title was for current gen consoles only (xbox series x/ ps5) nd PC but to release this game on last gen consoles in this state leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

    This title was not optimized properly for release, that even the day1 barely does anything to address it. Yes! This is nothing new to anyone familiar with buying from FromSoftware on day 1, but when are they going to start becoming better, it very disappointing.

    Dare I say, Dark souls 1,2,3 run better than this game. Yes! This has more content but that is just an excuse. I have a brand new PS4 console launching it with Elden ring, and the performance is appalling. Frame rate issues every now and then, not to exclude enemies clipping out. Literally any location with a vast number of multiple enemies would drop the frame rate. Heck, I can't even challenge the dragons properly.

    That being said, there would those who see nothing wrong with anything From Software does be it half arsed or otherwise.    … Expand

    This is just another annoying Dark Souls ... George R. R. Martin touch is nowhere to be found. Graphics are not what I would expect nowadays. The whole open world thing is just lame, maybe suitable for 2010. I won't even get into the whole UI thing cause I get the point (they wanted to move away from those typical UI Ubisoft designs) so at least that gets this game the 1 I'm scoring it with.

    Excellent jeu.

    Évidemment, Elden Ring à un style de gameplay qui peut en faire abandonner plusieurs. Par contre, il s'agit, comme pour tout les autres "souls games", d'un jeu mettant au défis notre état d'esprit, notre mindset. Points forts: -D'abord, le jeu donne une très grande liberté au joueur. Cela lui permet d'être créatif. -L'open world rend le jeu beaucoup plus immersif que    Excellent jeu.

    Évidemment, Elden Ring à un style de gameplay qui peut en faire abandonner plusieurs. Par contre, il s'agit, comme pour tout les autres "souls games", d'un jeu mettant au défis notre état d'esprit, notre mindset.

    Points forts:
    -D'abord, le jeu donne une très grande liberté au joueur. Cela lui permet d'être créatif.
    -L'open world rend le jeu beaucoup plus immersif que ses prédécesseurs.
    -Le niveau de difficulté est sincèrement varié. Certains nous semblent impossible et d'autres seront tués du premier coup.
    -Elden Ring à gardé son approche de type Dark souls. (C'est ce que les adeptes veulent)
    -Le décor est varié et remplit de mystère et de nouveauté.
    -La jouabilité est resté un élément important pour Myazaki. L'avatar est facile à utiliser.
    -Les boss sont imprésionnant et amusant à faire. Même s'ils nous tue à répétition. Nous avons l'impression d'avoir la stratégie idéale au bout des doigts, ce qui rend le joueur plus confiant et donc plus persévérant.
    -La grande quantité de site of grace. Le jeu nous fais un cadeau et place des statuts ou des site de grâce près des boss. Ce qui rend la "pratique" plus plaisante.
    -Une série de nouveaux sorts et attaques puissantes. Fort bien.
    -La musique de boss est très bonne. Dès l'ouverture du jeu, j'ai pris le temps d'écouter l'œuvre musical du menu. Cela met le ton du jeu. On ressent déjà sa tristesse, mais aussi la nécessité d'être courageux. Comme si l'un nourrissait l'autre.
    -Torrent, notre monture est un beau cadeau en monde ouvert. Il est aussi utile en combat et rend le jeu plus facile, et ce, significativement. Par contre, il ne peut pas être utilisé contre certains boss ne faisant pas partie de la zone ouverte du jeu. Excellent pour l'exploration.
    -Les sous-terrain sont aussi des mondes cartographiés.
    -L'adition des esprits (spirits) est très bien. Utile pour faire distraction et sera plutôt apprécié par les nouveau joueur qui auront besoin de répits lors des gros combats.
    -L'histoire reste énigmatique, mais cela fait partie du style de Myazaki. Toutefois, elle est plus claire dans Elden Ring que dans ses prédécesseurs.
    -Avoir à d'découvrir les cartes cachés est plaisant.
    -L'approche punitive aux erreurs et gratifiante aux réussites : Comme tous les souls games, le jeu invite le joueur à être persévérant. Réussir les boss demandera de l'observation, l'élaboration d'une stratégie (qui s'améliore à chaque expérience) et de comprendre comment "l'ordinateur" est programmer. Certaines attaque sont des algorithme précis dans certaines situation. Ce qui offre une ouverture certaines aux joueurs pour ne pas être punie et, profiter d'une frappe.

    Points faible:
    -La musique de la zone ouverte est bien, mais aurait pu être mieux.
    -Personnellement, j'ai faire le jeu en solo pour le défis. Par contre, ce qui serait plaisant, c'est d'avoir un "multiplayer" ou "coop" mieux élaborer. Plus libre et moins restraignant. Quite à ne pas permettre les trophées.    … Expand

    First I would like to start by saying that giving this game a ten is not serious and giving it a 0 just because you are pissed at it is childish.
    I have always been a very big fan of the Soulborne serie, I finished every one of them multiple times these are awesome games.
    Elden Ring is a good game but its not great, for me its kind of a deception. Dont get me wrong the gameplay mechanic    First I would like to start by saying that giving this game a ten is not serious and giving it a 0 just because you are pissed at it is childish.

    Elden Ring is a good game but its not great, for me its kind of a deception.
    Dont get me wrong the gameplay mechanic is good, the graphic are fine, some environments are beautifull to watch and I like the idea of an open world soul games, I always wanted that.

    One major problem is, its not rewarding, the ennemies are not giving anything worth the time it take to kill them including the boss, its grindy to a point that it is boring just to level up once.
    That make the random coop to help peoples killing their boss almost useless.
    Many hard and massives ennemies are giving around 50 runes (souls) even if they take 5 minutes to kill, when you need aroung 10 000 runes to lvl up its dumb.
    Thats why so many peoples are relaying on a stupid runes run like the boulder that drop around 2000 runes when you let it fall of the cliff, what a joke...

    Is it me or almost every big monsters, mini boss and main boss have now a sniper attack and an aoe that smash the ground creating a blast of wind destroying everything around them for a 15 feets radius, so many boss are difficult just because of that, its cheap and lame.
    There is a lot of giants in the first part of the map and they all do the "Dovahkiin" scream attack that can hurt you and make you fall from your horse even if you are 500 feets away from them.
    Many monsters seem to have unlimited stamina and will lend an never ending serie of hits on your face and many of them seem to move like a ninja even if they are obese.

    That bring me to the horse, since nothing is worth killing I found myself just running aroung with the horse avoiding the monsters who are not worth my time just to collect items and find dungeons, this make the concept of open world pretty boring to me.

    Next the coop, that is my biggest deception in the game, its like the old system, you summon somebody in a restricted zone, kill the boss then they are kicked out of your game.
    Me and my friends were mad when we found out that there was a massive fog gate stopping us from getting acces to an entire island just because I killed the boss at the end of the castle, this is pathetic, no evolution whatsoever even for a so call open world.
    When you take a look at some great coop game like (Remnant from the Ashes) where you can coop with the same two peoples from start to finish without interruption, getting refreshing health, potions and ammunitions at the checkpoint togetter there is no excuse to give us the same old crappy coop system like in Demon Soul on the ps3.
    This is lazy and weak.

    And the checkpoints make no sense at all, sometime you will find two checkpoints close to each other with nothing dangerous between them and sometime you will face hordes of dangerous and aggressives beast hoping to find the next checkpoint 10 miles further.

    In conclusion Elden Ring is not bad but its not great, it could have been one of the best game ever but there is too many flaws and stupids concept to make it what it should be.
    For me its a 7 that could have been a solid 9, sadly its not.    … Expand

    If you activate multiplayer features in this game you also get the invasion system which is nothing but a feast for grievers and can‘t be deactivated. Which makes it impossible to play a relaxed coop session. If you don‘t care it might be a great game.
