    Malenia, O Malenia! I defeat Malenia.
    Joking aside, this is the first Souls game I've ever played and I really liked this game. It was a game where I really felt that I was getting stronger, and I was extremely happy when I defeated the bosses. It was a great experience for me with art design, boss design, music, in short, everything. After Elden Ring, I will play other Souls games.

    I love this game. My girlfriend wanted to play with me and I bought it for her to enjoy together. But the invasion system is crap to say the least. It's unbalanced. She is invaded by characters much stronger than her and they kill her with one or two hits and the invaders keep running away and if you try to ignore them they chase you with ranged attacks or magic (we don't have time to waste on them). We just wanted to have fun together and she was disgusted with the game, just because of those invasions. For me it would be a 10 in the rest of the sections, but if I can't enjoy one of my favorite games with my girlfriend, it's a 0. It's not just with my girlfriend, it's the same with my friends.    … Expand

Constant micro stutters where the camera is moving just a little bit in the opposite direction you are attempting to look.

    Subtract another 2 points for the control scheme, OMG. It's terrible. You want to switch to your bow, then back to your sword. Plan on performing a button combo as if you're playing street fighter. I would describe it as the developers just kept adding things to press and got lazy with the ergonomics. Just trying to swap out a weapon or cast a spell breaks immersion because you have to do mental gymnastics with the buttons, on top of reacting to boss fight mechanics. Just terrible.

    Subtract another 2 points for story direction. The developers get George R. R. Martin to assist. Now this one pissed me off, the marketing sold this as a story, "we got the mastermind behind game of thrones to write the story". But then they don't tell you anything, you have wander around aimlessly to discover the "story". Imagine paying for what you're told is a movie only to discover there was no director. Just a bunch of actors wandering around aimlessly. You'd walk out of the theater and demand a refund.

    I'm done with this review, there's so much more that was annoying and immersion breaking. The game is hard, as expected, but the thing that draws you into a story and immerses you into the gameplay is not there. It's a slap in the face to read and watch people praise this as the "bar" for game development. You want a fun game to play, immersive and with an amazing story...Red Dead Redemption 2, that's the bar. Not Elden Ring.    … Expand

    These FROMSOFTWARE games have struck a chord with a particular type of gamer - and I daresay, not a classic gamer that have explored various genres.
    There's a writer named Dan Brown, whose fiction novels garnered A LOT of critical acclaim; but amongst those of us who enjoy a good sleuth, and have much experience with various crafts-people of the trade, we knew a charlatan when we saw him.

    There's a writer named Dan Brown, whose fiction novels garnered A LOT of critical acclaim; but amongst those of us who enjoy a good sleuth, and have much experience with various crafts-people of the trade, we knew a charlatan when we saw him.
    See, Dan Brown relied a on a 'rinse-and-repeat' style of writing - a 'writing-by-numbers', if you will. In essence, each story contained the same characters, plot devices, story arcs and climaxes. It was cheap - and, might I add, intellectually insulting. But despite the objective criticism of connoisseurs, the media machine was fully behind Dan Brown, and the Asch Phenomenon claimed another victory.
    So, too, to FROMSOFTWARE's rinse-and-repeat genre.
    I refunded all of my FS purchases safely within the allotted window before I was stuck with an intellectual insult.
    "Souls-like" should NOT be 'a thing'; more appropriately for the RPG-genre, "Fable-like", or "Witcher 3-like" - but this farcical, reskinned money-grab does not deserve a category unto itself.

Combat is also basic and not fluid compared to recent releases like Sekiro and Nioh 2.

    compare that with an actual open world game like Skyrim, it has an exciting intro, great music, great map design, many cities, fleshed out lore, a lot of random npc encounters outside of villages. Skyrim is just a complete game and Elden ring lacks basic elements like overworld music and story.

    Loading screen stuck at 100%, I was 80 hours into the game. Internet is full of such complaints. Video games typically have multiple auto save files in case this happens but this game doesn't. And you can't create manual save also. If you are considering to start this game, know that you might lose everything at any given moment.

    You cant take one step without running into any sorts of pop ups or frame drops at some points. (luckily the frame rate drops have almost completely been solved by now)
    Nethertheless the game does not care a **** about telling you where to go or what to do, so that you will be stranded in this gigantic world without a clue on where to go, which will then result in countless deaths due to you running into enemies which are way to overpowered.
    And once you find the right NPC to move on, you will be met with a cryptic information dump, which cant be processed quick enough, so that you will almost certainly end up on Youtube trying to figure out what the F to do.
    In my over 80 hours with this game I have only been able to kill the first five story bosses. 80 HOURS!
    And I am not even counting all the time used to look up things on the internet related to this game.
    I don‘t want to spend the little time I have left of the day being torn in half over and over again by a boss, which took me an additional 3 hours to find.
    The overall gameplay loop just consists of running around trying to level up, getting side tracked and finding a random side boss and finally trying to kill named boss for the next few attempts of dying, respawning, running back (whilst being constantly annoyed by regular enemies on the way) and then being killed by the boss again.
    For anybody who hasn‘t anything to do and has 200+ hours of free time: This is your game.
    Otherwise I can not recommend buying Elden Ring.
    Yes, the story is certainly great, the boss designs are cool, but it all comes down to the same frustrating same gameplay loop. Overall not a great game.
    If you do still consider buying a other Souls Game get Demons Souls Remake, it is way better without the open world aspect.
    And one last thing: This isn‘t meant to be personal in any kind of way. If you like Elden Ring its cool to me, but please try to accept my opinion on the game aswell.    … Expand

Now lets begin by noting how half of the people who bought the game were misled by false advertisement & paid reviewers. Sadly I'm one of those that were fooled. The souls genre has existed for quite sometime and I never bothered with it since its not my type of game but when elden ring came out the whole "reviewers community" heralded it as the second coming of christ saying it was something truly innovative and never before seen. Just like how these people lied to us about cyberpunk 2077, gow ragnarok or Hogwarts legacy they did the same with elden ring. Elden ring is by no means an "Open World rpg". That'd be witcher 3 and skyrim. This outdated piece of junk is not that. Its very much dark souls 4 with a few new bosses and multiple recycled mini bosses spread out on an open field. So less linear but not open world since "open world" means a world that's lived in, has many activities and elaborate side quests and has NPC hubs like towns and villages. Meanwhile elden ring's map is more like a battlefield with moments of respite. The graphics and gameplay is straight outta 2010 and its unbelievable how these critics didn't talk about all these reused bosses & animations from previous souls games and the god awful graphics that belong in the ps3 era. The only pretty thing in the game is the skybox and hence different skyboxes are used to mask the ugliness of the game's graphics. The gameplay is not half as good as bloodborne which is a game i liked for its aesthetic & freshness back when it released. Not to mention the artificial difficulty it has that makes the game quite hard at the start and the only way to get better is to grind for runes and memorize the bosses' 10 hit combo attacks with input reading and delayed attacks lol.

    Unlike other games there is no story at all. And if you tell this to souls fanboys they'll ask you to read descriptions and notes. This is not good storytelling. There isn't a quest log where you track your quests and apparently that's really innovative. I can't mention a single thing that this game does well and i still can't fathom how it won multiple awards. But i guess that's what happens when all other games released in the year were also mediocre. I'd take any of the recent bloated assassin's creed games over this trash any day of the week. With that being said i enjoyed a few of the main bosses and helping other players online to beat them.    … Expand

    Don't play this game!

    The author says he doesn't play the game himself! Your IQ is being insulted!

    If you don't use ashes of war, don't use additional vials, the difficulty of the bosses is unreasonable, the bosses has too much blood and increases unnecessary difficulty. All bosses play the same way, that is to roll in 0.x seconds before he drops the knife, which only increases fatigue and has no fun.

    Bloodborne is better!    … Expand

    I love Demon's Souls and the other three souls games very much. But for this one, it's over-rated. The atmosphere in the open world is boring. The open world is not "open" but just filled with nothing, You don't know what to do next and just stay there.

Don't let the visuals fool you. The graphics are great - it's visually stunning yes but that's its only appeal. The overall gameplay is underwhelming and unimaginative and dull - the open world is bland and soulless. No distinction between NPC behavior. All NPCs you encounter seem to share the same hostile AI. The bosses are ridiculously overpowered from the start which makes combat in the game feel unbalanced. There are no quests and no clear objectives. You basically roam around aimlessly and get into frequent random fights. There seems to be a bit of bias with all the positive reviews as they most likely come from hardcore, devoted fans of the franchise. This feels more like an unpolished beta rather than a finished fleshed-out game. It would be an insult to compare this game to titles like Skyrim and the Witcher. Final verdict - The Elden ring is shallow and overrated. If you're looking for rich and engaging gameplay, I don't recommend.… Expand

    How this won Game Of The Year, I'll never understand. I can't write a spoiler review because, as far as I can tell there is no story to spoil. Played nearly 20 hrs thus far and nothing makes sense. You just run around and fight random overpowered enemies. You can't level up until you randomly get to a certain campfire and some girl spouts some nonsense dialogue and then you... wander outHow this won Game Of The Year, I'll never understand. I can't write a spoiler review because, as far as I can tell there is no story to spoil. Played nearly 20 hrs thus far and nothing makes sense. You just run around and fight random overpowered enemies. You can't level up until you randomly get to a certain campfire and some girl spouts some nonsense dialogue and then you... wander out to kill more enemies. Wolves appear out of a whirlwind for... reasons. ???

    You'd be hard pressed to notice a difference between Dark Souls and Elden Ring apart from a bland, empty open world; the combat is exactly the same. Same animations, same lock on system, same "health vials", same grind grind grind from 2011. Apart from some decent visuals and an open world, there's nothing substantial here. You still can't engage multiple enemies, you just have to shuffle around, hitting them one at a time. 2011 gameplay. Fun.

    Combat is still painfully slow and cumbersome. Even over-leveling by 20 levels, you can still be staggered by the same low level enemies, in the same amount of strikes. It doesn't make sense. Even in Dark Souls 1-3 and Demon Souls there was a feeling of progression as you went. Not here. I'm sure its something to make the game even more artificially difficult.

    Bosses are OP (that first one on horseback is hilariously difficult) and apparently don't have stamina to deplete. There are no mechanics to speak of and there's really no point to melee "skills", blocking or tactics as all boss fights degrade to fighting them over and over until their patterns are muscle memory. Its beyond tedious. Apparently this is what younger gamers call "fun". I don't get it.

    You can either look up a YouTube tutorial on how to properly level up or just wander aimlessly and hope you eventually find the characters that can give you an edge. There's nothing in the game to even hint at where they might be or what you should do next. Just wander aimlessly and grind, one measly skill point at a time.

    I don't get the love for FromSoft games. Sekiro and Elden ring are awful, slow, boring games with no story or direction. I finished Dark Souls and Demon Souls, enjoyed them. This modern FromSoft is horrible, they're just milking a decade old broken engine and formula.

    If you like "hard" (ie old, broken/lopsided) games or just really enjoy 2011 Dark Souls combat: this is your game.

    If you like innovative, modern and polished games with tight fast paced combat and a story to drive the experience: This game is not for you. I gave Sekiro a chance, I tried Elden ring against my better judgement. I'm done with modern FromSoft. These are AWFUL games. I want my money back. I'd rate negative if I could.    … Expand

Perhaps this is deliberate to maintain the relevance of the game with online content and searches. The most frustrating part of the game is that quest lines are driven with vague minimal character dialogue that doesn't actually drive a story. This makes quest lines easily missable, and there's content and loot items that can be locked from the player if you make the wrong choice.

    As far as a game design goes, combat and difficulty, this is an excellent game, as far as large scale epic RPG is concerned, there's absolutely no story here, nothing to get connected to, nothing to be immersed in.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is game is too hard. The tutorials are poor. I’m an “older” player, my first video game was Pong. I’m not a video game wizard, I play video games for fun. Elden Ring is NOT fun, it IS FRUSTRATING, it IS the biggest waste of money I’ve made in a very long time. Some games allow you to play an easy, medium, hard or expert version. This game only has an “expert” level and I’ve had to quit after about 10 hours of playing time, because I can’t progress. Unless you are a video gaming wizard, this game is not for you!… Expand

    Dark souls 3 with Martin as marketing trick.
    Graphics bad, mechanics from ds2
    Bugs and weird reuse of same mobs but with different appearance.
    Boring and totally overrated.
    Worst purchase of the year.
    Such disappointment after sekiro…

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has no story. The story is weak in terms of its output, as for the graphics and the performance is unstable. You can notice dropped frames and missing details sometimes. Run copy-and-paste values ​​from old software games like Dark Souls 3 and others.… Expand

    The game is far from the best title. Very overrated. Graphics and gameplay are average at best. Look at GoWR.

    Terrible. No story, no voice acting, just cheap mechanics for edgy players.

    Elden Ring is simply a game that the player naturally adapts to their own style of play. Challenging at times, vicious at others, but mostly incredibly fun. The enjoyable pace makes the hours of play pass by like water, and each path opens up a few more, only to come together again after a fair amount of exploration before the next big reveal.

    Elden Ring serves as a testament to open world video game design. There is a true sense of accomplishment once that rock-hard enemy has been slain and, something that compels a player to relentlessly do it over and over again until they succeed is truly rewarding. The world is humongous and an epitome of how exploration should be encouraged, by intriguing players to see what is over the hill. Elden Ring is an unmissable, must-play, gaming experience with surprises galore.

    Elden Ring's engaging combat, mythology and dynamite orchestral soundtrack goes a long way to overshadow an aggressive open world that punishes exploration from the beaten path. Fans of the Souls genre are in for a treat, while newcomers will need to persist to reap the benefits.
