    Este juego es increíble y rejugable, aunque haya tenido bajones de FPS en algunas zonas eso no quita la magnífica experiencia

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, before i start, sorry for my english
    The Game is really good overall, but is not better than Bloodborne and even ds3 for me, and i Will say why, the positive stuff, the Gameplay is soo good, the system of the progretion is better than ever, now upgrade stars to level 60 is worth It, the bosses are solid and the best part, the open world, is huge with a lot of content, you can explore everywhere and find a lot of stuff, with a lot of dungeons, that, i Will say the negativo aspect about them, but and the the Game until you beat morgott ( this is why i put a spoiler alerta ) is 10/10, but, there is some problema, the layouts of the dungeons are, way, too repetitive, the bosses are soo reused, why there is more than 10 tree avatares ? Why is Nine night Calvary ? Why is more than ten dragons ? Why main bosses are reused as well ? And the worst part beggins now, the Game past leyndell, the Game is soo poorly balanced, i want a reason of why most of the enemies three ahora you even with 40 vigor, i mean, you can beat every dark souls Game with like 25 vigor, but in elden ring, 40 vigor feels like not enought, and, i don't like that you have toincrease a lot one stat or you are dead, and the bosses OMG, fire giant sucks, he have more HP than most of the ds1 bosses hp conbined, is boring and deals ridiculous damage, soo, you have to upgrade vigor enought levels to not get one shoted, the god skin duo is literally the worst Boss in the series, at least bed of chavos have a little bit of originallity and the design was unique to be fair, but this is a mesa that don't work as a gank duo, the bosses alone are really good, specially the apóstol, that is the best miniboss in the Game, maliketh is awfully balanced, is like, Well, he have not too much hp, soo, let's make that he can one shot easilly the player with attacks that let's you stunned forever, like why ? Is not even fair, and malenia, Who banave that ? Well, she have thes same problem than a lot of other bosses, she is really fast, but still hits like a giant, if not harder, and she can heals, lo attacks and more HP that the halingtree, Well, a lot of bosses also likes Dodge all of your attacks and start attacking like a machine with poor Windows to hit them, Dodge is not Well rewarded, but is true that your posicion matters more than ever, anyway, this is almost a perfect Game, but for some reason, they balance this Game like poop and the bosses are like bloodborne spped qhile you are inds3 speed, but besides of that is another amazing Game of frosoftware    … Expand

    Honestly the best open world I've ever played. It's not a perfect game, but very few video games offer this kind of experience, so it's a 10 for me.

    Reluctant about the possibility of poor performance on the PS4 base system I just couldn't resist in the end and I'm glad I did pick it up anyway. The game for me is a brilliant piece of work. It plays like a SoulsBorne game and is relentless because you might just venture in areas you shouldn't ben at or there might be strong foes in easier areas where you didn't expect them.

It plays like a SoulsBorne game and is relentless because you might just venture in areas you shouldn't ben at or there might be strong foes in easier areas where you didn't expect them. In the graphics department the 'legacy dungeons' feel more detailed than the open world but considering the PS4's old age it's no surprise. I'm 25 hours in so I've probably barely touched the surface yet this game is making me want to get back to the game... just a few more minutes just to realize a few hours have passed again; it's just so satisfying. Not all good news though, for me the major drawbacks are the crafting system which feels like a bad designed idea. 'Lets gather ingredients and craft items you just looted in the world during dark souls/bloodborne play throughs)', another issue for me is the side-quest tracking. You need a notebook to keep track of all that's going on.… Expand

    Decent game with good ideas executed very poorly and handled abysmally.
    Among one of the biggest mistakes by them was creating the biggest Souls game with the most build potential and weapon combinations, but limiting how many times you can respec (redistribute stats) your character. There are many more mistakes, but this is by far the one that lowers my score the most.

    EDIT: Continues to be handled poorly. Proper balancing doesn't exist, big exploits persist without fixes, and they continue sticking with their awful decisions instead of addressing them. Continuous zero communication with their community as well. And awful netcode. All of this has destroyed the longevity of the game, when the Souls series is known for it.

    Playing it on a PS4, and I've had nearly zero performance issues. Sure, the graphics aren't as impressive as new generation hardware, but the game is so incredibly fun that it doesn't matter at all. This is what Elden Ring has going for it: it's just super fun. If you enjoy action RPGs, or dark fantasy settings, PLEASE, give this a try. It's a masterpiece.

    After fully completing the game and putting in 140 hours, I think the critics nailed it, this game really is an open world masterpiece which is guaranteed to influence open world rpgs and maybe even open world shooters moving forward. The artistic, design, sound, exploration, immersion, combat, lore, enemy/area/boss/weapon/spell variety and size of the world are literally off the charts.After fully completing the game and putting in 140 hours, I think the critics nailed it, this game really is an open world masterpiece which is guaranteed to influence open world rpgs and maybe even open world shooters moving forward. The artistic, design, sound, exploration, immersion, combat, lore, enemy/area/boss/weapon/spell variety and size of the world are literally off the charts. It's also challenging while not being unfair and it gives you options to trivialise absolutely anything if you have no interest in the challenge. If they had charged $100 (EA or Ubisoft would have) it would be understandable but at 60 it's a steal. This game is almost certainly going to win GOTY 2022.… Expand

    This game is for the NES/Famicom generation. Those of us that grew up on Dragon Warrior, Ghosts and Goblins, Megaman, and especially ZELDA 1 AND 2 will wholeheartedly appreciate this experience. This game is essentially Zelda 2 and Castlevania 2 packaged in a neat little bow for 2022. Yes, it is a masterpiece.

Завидую играющим на ПК - они хотя бы не платят, а качают этот шедевр бесплатно с торрентов. Вообще удивительно - ну сделали вы хардкорную игру - сделайте хотя бы выбор уровня сложности - все нормальные люди играют для удовольствия, а не для того чтобы материться от очередного босса который выносит игрока с двух быстрых ударов, пробивая колонны, не обращая внимание на поднятый игроком щит и прочие баги которыми кишит игра. Те дурачки которые гоняют в эту игру с утра до ночи качая персонажа всё равно не покупают игру, а качают её с торрентов (это либо школота которой мама купила раз в году игру и они задрачивают её до дыр, либо прыщавые жирдяи работающие курьерами/сисадминами и для них единственная отрада - играть в "хардкорные" игры, дабы в их бестолковой жизни был какой-то смысл). Поставлю два балла за хорошую работу дизайнеров. Программная же часть - дерьмо, а тех кто расставлял характеристики боссам - пинками выгнать из вашей конторы. скорее бы уже пройти этот кошмар.

    I can however understand the frustration of casual gamers, this kind of game is not for everyone.
    it requires the pleasure of persevering, the pleasure of learning and improving yourself through the struggle and the unknown.

    A "great" game can gather most people's opinion, but a "masterpiece" can sometime divide.

    I will conclude by saying this. This game has so mush love put into it, it has a soul... and the emotion you feel as you struggle in this world will give you one of the most satisfying feeling you will ever have in a video game after succeeding.

    That's what I want a game to be, that's what I call Art.

    Absolutely Astonishing Game, truly a Masterpiece. Only the Performance isn't as good on the ps4 as it is on the next gen consoles. If you ignore this point, its equally good to the other versions and from a gameplay point of view its almost flawless. I would still highly recommend it for ps4 even though it has some flaws with the performance

Pero desde el punto de vista como jugador, por el gameplay, no es muy disfrutable tener peleas contra enemigos que tienen "ese ataque" que me acaban matando casi al comienzo de la pelea. No siempre hay un buen ritmo con estos jefes, no siento que haya una danza disfrutable en la pelea.

    A pesar de todo, la variedad y libertad que ofrece este juego es inmensa. Cuando piensas que ya lo haz visto todo, siempre hay más por explorar, por enfrentar y contemplar. Amo la libertad que ofrece este juego, desde el mundo abierto hasta la personalización de tu personaje, poder cambiar de build en cualquiero momento es una gran oportunidad para jugadores que se topan con un bloqueo.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is quite the addition to From Soft's repertoire. The weapon art system from DS3 has been tweaked and is now customizable with certain weapons and weapon types to the point that a shield is a viable weapon but not so broken that one weapon art is busted over all else (despite all the community memes). There is a newly placed emphasis on cooperative play which I believe makes this edition a bit more open to newer players of this style of game. The only network issues I had in the initial release was that just below half of all times I was summoned by other players caused an error that closed out my game but with newer patches this error is a rarity. The variety of bosses is great even though some are rehashed but not nearly as aggregious as Bloodborne's Chalice Dungeons. Another downer, however, would be the fact that with this vast open world, it is hard to either find or progress the iconic NPC questlines and it can be very easy to lock yourself out of said questlines without independent research being done. Overall though, this game was a blast to go through as are most of From Software's games and it makes a mighty installation to their library.… Expand

But it gets worse and worse - for every interesting moment, there are 10 boring fetch quests of NPCs I don't care about. Or even worse - I need to interact with an NPC and then it appears at another place to be interacted with.
    The fights are plain boring - trying to understand if my character is stuck in something or the camera is clipping through the boss is the most fun in them. Otherwise it is just dodge/parry and then hit until the boss dies.
    One of the dungeons seemed cool, until I realized there are 4 more like it.
    The only thing I give credit to the creators is the size of the map, I think I am missing one of the territories and it is still enormous.
    Updated: Finished the game, all side quests and obtained all trophies just to check if there was something I was missing. Nope, probably won't remember anything in a week.
