    Rubbish! bought this game on PSN HK. No where in the title says (Chinese /Kor) like other games with language lock.
    Only has 1 Elden Ring version (alongside Deluxe). Bought it, lo and behold, the game only gives you Chinese interface! WTF? On PSN the description of the game is even in English! Why the hell then is the language not included in the game that they first described it with?

    The Worst game ever made by From Software, the details lack polishing, a step backward in all aspects compared to the previous work.
    If you want play a From Software's game, Elden Ring is the least worthwhile work to play.

    I don't want non stop cut scenes, but a few more would've been nice. It should be fun to go through a story, not boring work.

    I am a father, and finding time to play games is hard. I know souls style games are hard, but I just cant pick it up and progress much with its difficulty. I have played bloodborne and dark souls and i felt similar. It feels like the same games in an open world.

    I spent about 15 hours with the game. I will say it is definitely good graphically, but just not the game i was looking for.

    I became bored with dying repeatedly and by the time i would figure something out, itd be time to stop playing. I felt no satisfaction.
    I had no performance issues, and i don't have hate for the game. But to me, its just not good and i do not understand the hype.

    Id never give a game a 0 because that's just ridiculous, but i cant give it more than a 3 because its just not fun or entertaining to me. The 15 hours I spent with it were boring and annoying.    … Expand

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.

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.

    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.

    If a Fromsoft game ever needed 'Patches' (sorry) it's this one haha This game should be rated higher but due to the serious technical issues on all systems it has to be a red score...for now. Let me explain.

Let me explain.

    Im a huge fromsoft fan and trust only them for day 1 preorders. I've platinumed all their games. Buy It really worries me that blupoint demon souls remaster can launch at 4k 60fps or near to it but elden ring can barely hit 30fps and often dips as low as 15 in sadly the areas where you need consistent performance. I bought a ps5 for improved graphics but all I get is decade old issues which on pc ive left behind with a 3080 though I've Elden ring runs worse on a 3080 than on a ps5 lol

    There is a whiff of cyberpunk about the game where fans are blindly supporting and conveniently ignoring the serious technical issues which also include a few progression stopping glitches / bugs and the occasional game breaking issue.

    And post launch the patches are not addressing these issues. It still looks and runs like a...ps3 gen era game but tlou was ps3 and that ran and looked far better so...elden ring just looks ugly. Great art design but everything else is far from the beauty of sekiro or the grandeur of bloodborne.

    The open world simply fails in 2022. If it was 2010 then I'm sure it be far more impressive as it has 2010 graphics. It's not remotely as good as botw or rdr2 which are games that existed before ER development even started. The latter alone is worrying but the large empty space which witcher 3 dlc would laugh at...isnt much fun to play. Yes You can explore but you'll only find Skyrim like identical copy and paste areas. Forget the wildlife of most open world games or npcs with compelling stories.

    The George Martin element is inexplicably non existent making the game effectively a dark souls 4. The latter isn't a bad thing but it's not as good as ds3 in visuals / performance or gameplay so where does this leave us?

    The game isn't suitable for noobs or non fromsoft fans. It's a game seemingly more for fan boys, compromised journalists and shills to scream "goty!" while they wait for gameplay saving 'Patches' (sorry ;). It's not a bad game by any means but it has bad aspects to it or lazy maybe. Bloodborne launched in a rough state so this is nothing new but it's still not acceptable.

    Wait for a sale a year from now when it's been fully patched. Eventually maybe 7-8 /10 but a 4/10 !t launch due to poor technical state :(    … Expand

Figured since it had the Game of Thrones writer on it it may be cool, but I guess this is the reason why everyone hates the damned show now. He must not be very good, probably another SJW propped up by the hollywood elites.

    Dodge mechanics are pretty clunky and don't seem to work quite right.. Seems like your character's hit box is larger than Nancy Pelosi's slush fund. Clipping seems to guarantee that the enemies kill you through walls and rocks and other crap, but you never seem to go through them. I presume it's some intentional feature to create a faux sense of challenge to the game. The alternative is that the programmers lack the technical wherewithal to pull of what they're striving for. Now that I think on that though it's probably the latter with the number of bugs this game has. Frame rate drops are pretty harsh and consistently occur on boss encounters.

    Maybe it would have been a cool game if the story was any interesting or if the developers were worth a lick, but they seem to be reaching for the stars when they can't even grab the dirt off the floor very well. Play God of War any of them and hard if you wanna play a real good game.

I figured with Martin penning the game's story it would be rather grand involving political intrigue and riveting tales of man's inner folly. Having grown up on D&D and CRPGs I expected to have a fair idea of what I was getting into.

    Much to my surprise, I found a vast open world filled with nothing to do. I created my character to wander around some lifeless void. Oh, it looks rather grand the art direction is quite phenomenal though the textures muddied and the game is plagued with pop-ins as well. I am able to forgive the occasional jank for a good and true RPG. I however did not find one in this game. I'm not sure what constitutes for an RPG these days amongst the general public, but generally it's a game with roleplaying options of which this game seems to have none other than building your character's stats and skills.

    All problems are solved through this game's languid, ponderous, and clunky combat. No non-combat or social options in this supposed RPG. The exploration as as dull and lifeless as the world in which it inhabits. Some scant crafting materials to create some mediocre items with minimal stat gains. Undoubtedly the usual carrot and the stick seen in the MMO sphere influenced this trash itemization.

    The dungeons were quite interesting and a more linear experience and I killed Margit after ten or twelve tries. The game's molasses combat was made even more frustrating due to the various technical issues that plague this supposed RPG (Hint it's not an RPG it's just combat pornography) Your character's hitboxes are far too large causing the enemies to strike you frequently when you're clearly outside of their swing radius. There's also numerous frame rate drops making the game's sole feature of combat extremely difficult since the technical execution of the developers lack of talent is holding you back further than the difficulty of the game is.

    All in all this game is not an RPG, there are no roleplaying options. It's just combat pornography for the youth's violent masturbatory sadist rituals. If you have any class avoid this buggy mess like the plague it is and cast it into the fire! I for one got a full refund from my local gamestore, but I hope to save others the expense. We all know this game doesn't deserve a perfect score.

    Ужасная оптимизаци, хваленый открытый мир самый пустой что я когда либо дедал, последнее я такое видел на ps2, Xbox original и при этом графика ещё не далека от пс 3

    Well, on to the 6th review of Elden Ring (since Metacritic deletes any reviews for cold hard cash) This game is unacceptabley rough. Anyone who plays it will agree the platforming is in an unacceptable state. The environments interefere with gameplay in unintended ways CONSTANTLY. Dropped frames will **** with your gameplay A LOT.

Anyone who plays it will agree the platforming is in an unacceptable state. The environments interefere with gameplay in unintended ways CONSTANTLY. Dropped frames will **** with your gameplay A LOT. Also, From did NOT balance this game, seemingly at all. No matter what health, or defense, armor, etc. 1 shots are guaranteed, and at other times bosses can be 2 shot by you..... Its literally one of the least polished games ive played in decades maybe. This game has the worst input lag, and dropped inputs, i've seen...well since...sekiro. Sekiro dropped inputs constantly, this game doesnt do it as much, but the input lag is 1000000 times worse. Nearly unplayable. Bloodhounds step and summons exist to mask this.Anyone will agree after playing,this game needed more time in the oven. If you arent willing to admit that, you are lying, or From told you couldnt say anything negative, or youd lose access. Play on the horse and platform around for 5 minutes and that ALONE will tell you all you need to know. Input buffer has seemingly gotten worse (somehow) with subsequent updates. Dropping the score down to unplayable. I cant express how unfathomabley uncomfortable the input buffer is. Its unconscionable… Expand

    Motor gráfico de la antigua generación con problemas de rendimiento en todos los sistemas, no está doblado a varios idiomas y frustra la experiencia al tener que estar leyendo todo el rato perdiendo el hilo argumental,sigue siendo lo mismo que en antiguas entregas donde los creadores han hecho un sandbox experimentando metiendo toda clase criaturas de sus juegos anteriores aquí allá.

Vacío en la mayoría de su mapeado. No es un juego para todos los públicos y con alta dificultad. Lo único destacable es el diseño artístico. Con todo lo mencionado anteriormente para ser un título de 2022 deja mucho que desear si lo comparamos con otros títulos,no es un juego que sobrepase la calificación de un 78 sobre 100.
    En vista de las notas tan elevadas por parte de la prensa con un trato muy a favor y con calificaciones de 10 sobre 10 y que la prensa quiera tacharlo del mejor juego de la historia en sus análisis cuando ni siquiera han tenido tiempo a terminarlo para dar una opinión coherente.. y el día de su lanzamiento ver otra vez el mismo caso que cyberpunk 2077 para todos aquellos que se gastaron 70€ haciendo caso a quienes dicen ser medios especializados y hinchar las valoraciones por un trato a favor. Lo calificó con un 0 para que esto no vuelva a suceder en esta industria.    … Expand

    This game is good but to call it the greatest game ever made is an insult to the industry, there is nothing impressive about this title, it is another GOOD souls title, re-hashed Dark Souls with an open world.

    I have no idea why most people keep praise up this game as a masterpiece. Sorry for that I don't know how to enjoy this game because it is too hard for me. This game is just a mission impossible to me. Sorry for the bad rating. I am an 80's, I have my works to do. I not always free at home and sit on a sofa for whole day to play my PS5 from the morning to the night. I need to go out forI have no idea why most people keep praise up this game as a masterpiece.

I not always free at home and sit on a sofa for whole day to play my PS5 from the morning to the night. I need to go out for work, to earn money. PS5 for me is just for relaxing, game is just for entertaining. Sorry for quite dissappointed why all the reviewers keep praise up this game? I can't even beat the first boss. I have no time and no endurance to beat the same boss for whole day. Why people so enjoying for death so many times? This is a nightmare for me. I can't get this game accomplished because I'm so tired of beating the boss, which is mission impossible to me. Please don't follow the trend to see your friends or which gaming host recommend this game, then just follow them to buy this game. This game is not cheap, it is selling around US$59.99. You can't beat the boss in this game doesn't mean that you are a noob player. Game is just for enjoying but not for challenging.… Expand

    Horrible empty open world, very generic, literally the same as the other souls games.

    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.
