    If you’re a fan of high fantasy, open world rpgs and the soulsbourne genre, then this is the game of your dreams. The world & character design is amazing. The scale of the world, the density, the verticality are incredible. There’s nothing else like it. Ignore the trolls reviews binging this game, it’s a masterpiece.

    …No underwater exploration, you can’t climb, you can’t glide… Graphically, it’s okay. Has neverwinter feel to it, I hate neverwinter. Combat, is horribly unresponsive. Enemies are cool to look at but a pain to kill. Unfortunately you have to cheese much of the enemies. Because they have unlimited stamina, so stupid.

Has neverwinter feel to it, I hate neverwinter. Combat, is horribly unresponsive. Enemies are cool to look at but a pain to kill. Unfortunately you have to cheese much of the enemies. Because they have unlimited stamina, so stupid.
    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.    … Expand

    Not as good as Bloodborne but the sheer amount of depth in the combat and exploration makes this game so much fun to play. Light on the plot but heavy on difficulty - this is a true Soulsborne game. I love every minute of it!

    It takes the best of these amazing DS/Borne games and perfectly meshes it with a huge open world. Can spend hundreds of hours in this game.

    The game just gets better and better, a bit overwhelming in the beginning. But if you have experience with Soulslike games you will be hooked from the start. Played on PS4 Pro.

    This game is going to be the best game of this year, I strongly recommend playing it on Xbox Series X, the only platform where it does not give problems with lag or fps, from software did it again but this time better than ever, it brought together the best of all the video games they have released to date in one, with a beautiful open world as well.

    First game I've ever platinum with over 200 hours of gameplay. This game is a masterpiece, made me want to explore every nook and cranny like no other. I had super high expectations and even then, it managed to surpass them. I've played all of fromsoft games, they managed to create the game of the decade.

    This game is addictive and f***ing fantastic. It doesn't need to cater to everyone to be a good game, and it shouldn't. I don't wake up every day expecting the world to cater to me. I'm not that self-entitled. I recognize when a game isn't for me. Is it perfect, nope. It has issues, but on a fun factor, it's flawless.

    Excellent game if you are able to commit yourself to it. This keeps getting better the more you play and explore. Its incredible how this runs perfectly well on a base PS4 with only a few draw distance and FPS issues here and there. I am 30h in and have not even completed a quarter of the main quest. Seriously hard to put down and worth getting. Be aware its difficulty will punish you.

    I never played any of Souls and From Software games before. in the beggining I was frustrated and gave up after 5 hours and sold my physical copy, but then after 4 months bought it again and gave it a chance and now 30 hours in I cant stop playing. It was hard to start again, in the beggining i watched 2 videos with 30 mins help walkthrough and it helped alot, now I'm playing myself. ifI never played any of Souls and From Software games before. in the beggining I was frustrated and gave up after 5 hours and sold my physical copy, but then after 4 months bought it again and gave it a chance and now 30 hours in I cant stop playing.

What you can see in this game believe me you wont find in 3 full games. I can confirm and say ER deserved GOTY 2022… Expand

    Let me preface this with the fact that I (typically) do not like Souls-like games. I find the typical formula to be too tediously difficult with no way to break the tedium due to the relatively closed in spaces and linear nature of their previous titles.

I find the typical formula to be too tediously difficult with no way to break the tedium due to the relatively closed in spaces and linear nature of their previous titles.

    Elden Ring seems to be the antithesis of this philosophy. Almost from startup you have access to most of an ENORMOUS open world with only subtle hints of where you /should/ go - but even for people who prefer a clear direction because exploration is extremely well rewarded with new gear, more levels, stunning vistas, etc.

    True to FromSoft form, this game IS hard - but with the freedom to leave and come back stronger it doesn't feel as tedious or insurmountable as other Souls-like. With previous titles you had to Git Gud to progress, but with Elden Ring, Gitting Gud feels like a natural consequence of simply playing the game. Even if a boss feels impossible (looking at you Maliketh), there are SO many tools at your disposal to eventually overcome it. An amazingly helpful community ready and willing to help overcome any hurdle that proves too high (or if you are looking for a specific piece of gear; patchesemporium & beyondthefog on reddit), summons, and -to my surprise and delight- a simple change of tactics/weapons all prove startling effective. Over 700 hours in across 2 platforms (steam & ps4) and I can very easily see pouring in another 700+; and not regret a single moment. I cannot recommend this game enough. Even if you don't like Souls-like, give this one a chance.    … Expand

    Siento que el juego esta bastante bien equilibrado en cuanto a dificultad y curva de aprendizaje. Hay que saber como jugarlo.
    Se debe explorar el mundo abierto tanto para encontrar elementos de mejora, armas interesantes y poder subir de nivel.
    Teniendo experiencia en juegos como Skyrim y Fallout, supe adaptarme muy bien a la mecanica de mundo abierto, la cual disfruto mucho.
    En cuanto al combate, cada build tiene lo suyo asi que cada uno debe adaptarse a su propio estilo de juego. Refiriendonos a la historia, el lore y NPC son bastante interesantes.
    El combate a caballo agrega una nueva experiencia de la que eres completamente libre de usar o no usar.

    Its most of the best parts of previous games, just a lot more of it, placed in a large open world that's exciting to explore. What more can I say?

    Phenomenonal. After 140 hours I beat it and I assume 90% of side content done to boot, it's just brilliant. Not my favourite Soulsbornekiro game but definitely my favourite game in the two years and one of my favourite of all time. Not without flaws but they can easily be ignored.

    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

    A wonderful port. This is easily From Software's best running game on the PS4, after completing the game, I had 0 bugs and it had a really smooth framerate.
    Gameplay wise, it's a masterpiece. Hidetaka Miyazaki has delivered again.
    Elden Ring is not only the best game of the year, it's quite possibly the best game of all time.

    Elden Ring is a fun and interesting rpg with tight game mechanics. It runs flawlessly on ps4 in an age where the AAA companies can only put out one disaster after another. Fromsoftware has done gamers a great service. Best game ever imo!!!

    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.

    No matter how many studios try to replicate the formula, From Software is the only one that can deliver authentic Souls experience. [Issue#259, p.36]
