    It's good, I think, but I know it's not for me. The open world helps those like myself who found previous attempts at souls games to be frustrating time wasters because of the "git gud" mentality. I really enjoyed playing it with friends online, but the mechanics designed to put players together are archaic and could have been designed by Nintendo.

    I consider myself a souls fan. I have completed every soulsbourne title Fromsoft has put out save for demon souls, some of them twice. Of them all, my personal favorite (though I hated it when I picked it up at first) was Sekiro. You would *think* that would mean I love this game, but instead... I felt betrayed.

    You will find review after review complaining about graphics and performance. Those things matter rather little to me, outside of crashes. What really hurt was the shift in design philosophy, for me.

    I played all of the Fromsoft games as a melee player, without summons. It's the way I enjoyed them. I loved the thrill of facing an enemy point blank, rolling through danger, dying a bunch, and eventually coming out on top. In terms of death to victory ratios, this game was probably about the same. But where every other game in the series adhered to "Hard but Fair", this game seemed to be explicitly aiming for "Hard because *Unfair*".

    Pretty much every major enemy has an unlimited combo of massively splashy hitboxes that will literally one shot you unless you throw your entire progression in the garbage in the name of Vitality, in which case you will be two shot instead. The enemies *literally* read your inputs, reacting before your character begins to move, literally speeding up animations to punish you for trying to punish them for missing an attack. Every enemy is hyper mobile, easily jumping behind you in the time it takes you to swing at them, even if you started the attack mid animation for them.

    This was fine in Sekiro. Sekiro was given the tools to handle them. A perfect, twitch reaction parry, with lightning fast strikes and ninja tools to counter them. In Elden ring, I have the tools of a Dark souls character, fighting endless Sekiro bosses.

    I put in well over a hundred hours, I was streaming the game intending to beat all of it that I could find on my first playthrough. I toiled through so much of it I disliked, hoping it would get better, or at least be inoffensive until the end. It was when I reached a snowy area with literal invisible assassins that command grab and execute you, making no sound, leaving no footprints in the snow that I decided I was well and truly done with the game.

    I threw my playstyle entirely in the trash, started summoning mimic, like pretty much everyone does, for every fight. Used a giant shield, because they're broken. Stopped doing any optional content. Cheesed enemies, like apparently everyone for some reason really enjoys with enemies in this game. I beat it, it felt gross and hollow, and also like exactly what the devs were trying to push me toward the entire game.

    If your only wish for a Fromsoft game was that it was as broad as an ocean, as shallow as a puddle, and every enemy aspired to be champion Gundyr, then this really is a must play for you. If, Like me, that sounds like a truly dead and barren world devoid of any joy, then congratulations Fromsoft. You have finally made a world so bleak that even those who love you can find no joy in it.    … Expand

El juego es muy continuista en jugabilidad pero logro entrelazar bien las zonas y el mundo para formar un verdadero monstruo de mundo, enorme y lleno de zonas hermosas, sin embargo al apostar por seguir siendo Souls, mundo obscuro y tenebroso se pierde bastante de lo que pudo haber sido.

    -Отсутствие новых механик. Крутые фишки, такие как парирование из Bloodborn или наличие стамины в Sekiro просто отсутствуют. В прошлых играх я чествовал схватку с боссом, в данной игре я просто чувствую, что я недостаточно прокачен для босса или наоборот перекачен.
    -Казуальность. Допускаю, что игра так зашла в массы тем, что просто превратилась в РПГ дрочильню где высокий уровень прокачки позволяет тебе побеждать.
    -Оптимизация. FPS в игре проседает от чего буквально болят глаза. При этом, графику выставлял на скорость, а не качество. В игре нет ничего выдающегося, чтоб так загружало Next gen консоль.

    very good game but also very big world and loses focus much of the time. also, like all other FromSoftware games other than Bloodborne (and possibly Sekiro) it doesnt have the sidestep mechanic when locked onto an enemy in combat. for me that makes the combat much less fun than Bloodborne. that being said Bloodborne is clearly my favorite FS game and better than Elden Ring.

The game gives way to despair with enemies and areas completely unbalanced. No matter if you have gone slowly and exploring, as in my case, you are not able to defeat any boss without throwing away hours. Sickening stuff. The game is in its final stretch completely unbalanced. Unless you play with a specific class and build it is impossible to advance naturally. What's worse, you stop caring about the story and stop appreciating its amazing design. A pity after all those good times I had at the beginning. It's impossible for me to recommend such a thing to anyone. Have all those who call it game of the year really passed the game?… Expand

    OK. I never thought I was going to give this game any score below 9, but I am. Hear me out.
    I have the platinum for all FS games, and I got the one from Elden Ring. I can safely make a review and tell you the good and bad. In a nutshell, there are various innovations, but also a myriad of features that were recycled, unpolished, and repetitive. Bing objective, buy the game, is amazing BUT    OK. I never thought I was going to give this game any score below 9, but I am. Hear me out.
    I have the platinum for all FS games, and I got the one from Elden Ring. I can safely make a review and tell you the good and bad. In a nutshell, there are various innovations, but also a myriad of features that were recycled, unpolished, and repetitive. Bing objective, buy the game, is amazing BUT be aware of what I list below.

    There are numerous positive sides:
    1) There are numerous beautiful places that are an eye feast. 2) The multiplayer changed, which I liked. Now, you can only be invaded if you already started a multiplayer section (i.e., summoned a co-op). Thus, it feels fairer, since before you could get invaded and mobed by the invader and the monsters. 3) Boss fights are epic. 4) Faith build FINALLY is good and viable for TRUE combat. Now faith builds have multiple options for attacks and heavy blows, not just some boosts and healing. 5) Amazing choices for unique weapons with unique attacks. 6) The world is absurdly big. To fully explore everything (and do some grinding) it took me around 130h in a single playthrough. 7) A lot of things to randomly do and explore in the open field. 8) You do have an absurdly amount of choices of possible builds. Like..a lot. 9) Crafting: now you can craft things instead of just buying them or looting, great. 10) 'Rune" mechanics is way better than "humanity", you will see. 11) Possibility of concocting your own custom potion for special effects. 12) Leveling takes fewer "souls" per level. 13) Way more charges for your HP/Mana recharge. 14) The game is full of bosses, not just major ones. 15) Overall fun and addictive. 16) Multiple chances of respecting your stats to try new builds!

    The negative:
    1) Unbalanced fights. You will feel like you are always behind the game. You will NEED to grind some levels. You will be 20 levels above the game area, and you will have powerful weapons for the area, but you will fight a boss and feel that you are just slowly chopping down a tree. Some bosses have an absurd amount of health. I rarely called co-operators in DS1-3, Demon Souls, and Bloodborne. I rellied a lot in co-ops in Elden Ring. 2) I felt that the AI is not polished. It is not about AI like the other FS games, it is about taking insane amounts of damage and infinite chains of combos. I counted, some "elite enemies" can make a 12-15 hit chain. It is like all enemies are Hunters from Bloodborne. 3) Monster looks like it wights 50000 Kg? It will be fast. Does Knight use heavy armor and a massive sword? He will be fast. The enemy is not fast? He will have fast projectiles. 4) Being sincere, the graphics are not better than DS3. However, this is a PS5 game, and the graphic did not change. It doe snot bother me, but you expect differently. 5) You have hundreds of choices of builds, but you will eventually choose one with bloodloss because bloodloss is just broken in Elden Ring. Combine bloodloss and frostbite and you will be playing the game as easier as it gets. 6) Some regions are just too frustrating. I am not kidding, some regions of the game will just not be enjoyable at any level - neither visually, nor in terms of loot, nor it will be cool to fight enemies; 7) Numerous enemies and bosses have recycled moves from other FS games. I understand devs doing that, but man, it is a lot of recycling. At some points you just make this face (-.-). 8) They screwed up the quests. In any other FS game, you get attached to some NPCs, you want to know more about their stories, and more importantly, you can follow their story and kinda know what you need to do or where to go. Now, you just don't care. You will care for 5-6 NPCs in the game (from dozens), and the rest is just irrelevant. You will skip most quests because you will either not find the NPC while exploring, or you will just not know what to do. I think that I finished like 5 quests, from the dozens of quests available. For most of them, I did even know what to do, or what they wanted. Likewise, they generally give something irrelevant in the end. 9) Low replay value. Before, you wanted to go to NG+ for new weapons, build improvements, etc. Now, you can basically do everything in one playthrough. You will do more just for the other endings.

    Overall, it is a great game, but it is not a 10, or ultra innovative like they sell to you. It is an enjoyable game, a great FS title, fun, addicting, with tons of features/fights/lands that you will love, but it has some bumps on the road that will get under your skin sometimes.    … Expand

    Elden Ring has received much praise and critical acclaim elsewhere, so in my review I'd actually like to tackle some controversies and areas where I took exception to Elden Ring, despite enjoying it for nearly 70 hours.

My main gripe with them was the    Elden Ring has received much praise and critical acclaim elsewhere, so in my review I'd actually like to tackle some controversies and areas where I took exception to Elden Ring, despite enjoying it for nearly 70 hours.

    The graphics are the best that the Souls genre has to offer and at present are being added to via patches to make them even more stable. My main gripe with them was the framerate dipping sometimes but this was not often or harsh enough to hinder my enjoyment.

    Elden Ring on one hand is possibly the most accessible Souls game so far, but on the other hand it could easily be a complete nightmare if it's your first Souls game One or two of the early bosses are clearly designed for you to pass and come back to later when you are stronger, however non-Souls players won't know this and could easily be frustrated.

    The biggest gripe I have with ER and Souls games in general is that an online guide is an essential if you want to progress without constantly hitting barriers. This is doubly evident in ER where we are advertised an open-world, but in reality you will be crushed quickly if you wander too far off the expected path. The game is more like a series of smaller open areas which then become a huge open world by the end, which isn't really a problem as each area gives you plenty to do and explore.

    Another issue I take note of in ER in particular is this seems to be the Souls game with the cheapest enemies, bosses in particular. I noticed that when enemies do a combo there always seems to be one or two additional attacks that are less intuitive, as if designed to simply catch you off-guard. Added to this was the fact that I ran the tankiest strength build I could conceive of (without going through complex guides) and many later enemies were doing serious damage still, so it makes me hesitant to play as any other build.

    This brings me to another issue I had with ER. It's simply too big and too long. When I was on hour 69 and beating the final boss I breathed a sigh of relief rather than satisfaction, glad that it was finally over. This doesn't inspire me to replay the game and amazingly I still didn't complete some additional quests and optional bosses as I'd simply become fatigued of the game by this point, especially as the harder optional bosses such as Melania are simply cheap two-stage bosses.

    Many fans lord over the quests in Souls games but these are one of my most hated areas of the game. They are obfuscated by design, intentionally not giving you obvious or clear instructions. I find it quite bizarre that Fromsoftware would barricade some of their best content and make it very easy to miss - many quests are time or context specific so you can miss an opportunity to complete them altogether. Again, some fans love this but I'm not one of them and disagree with this design.

    On that note, I'll also give my two cents on another hot topic - difficulty. I fully believe Souls games should have adjustable difficulty levels. Again it baffles me that Fromsoftware would barricade the game itself away from potential fans, although judging by recent sales they don't need to worry about that as much. I just believe that in general we should identify where barriers exist in games and look at whether they need adjusting, and this is already something From is aware of as they have nerfed some weapons and bosses already.

    Tied to the quests we also have the overall story. Elden Ring is probably the most coherent of the Souls games I've played in terms of story, but again leaves a lot of it in the backseat in favour of gameplay. This is one thing I am in favour of, as I found that when cut-scenes did happen I was much more interested and engaged.

    Despite my criticisms above, Elden Ring is in the top-tier of games I have played throughout my life and will likely remain a favourite as it shows exactly how an open-world can be done, throwing a gauntlet in the face of games such as Assassins' Creed and Far Cry. It baffles me that developers look at Elden Ring's success and still insist on their exploitative live services.

    One final thing I have to say is that I actually regret buying ER day one as there is still a lot of updating and patches being brought out by Fromsoftware, so I would actually recommend waiting a few months or for the inevitable GOTY edition as DLC is sure to follow also. This is one game you cannot afford to miss.    … Expand

    The legacy dungeons are top notch, but the smaller dungeons / places often feel like a cheaper version of souls games.

For one side I really appreciate the amount of things you can do to edit your character but it's so complicated that I just skipped even not liking the standard ones. I later found out that you can't barely see him in your playthrough...
    The graphics aren't what I was expecting, especially for your character and NPCs and the lack of lip sync make it worst. The landscapes are good but I didn't feel impacted by them as I feel I should. For a PS5 game I was expecting another level in graphics and environment.
    One of the worst things about this game is the story driven or the lack of it.... I almost finished the game and don't know what I'm doing and why I'm doing. NPCs are randomly in the map and you can miss them very easy if you don't explore.
    The exploration part of the game is the best thing about this game along with the amount of weapons, spells and incantations you can use. The dungeons are fun but can be very similar though.
    Talking about the combat system, I feel like it's very frustrating at some times since you are punished for pressing a button in the wrong time and the inputs can have a delay to be executed or not to be executed at all... Enemies can hit you though walls... You'll be hit in the back by an enemy that has no sound... Also the lock system can be a pain for large enemies.
    You need to manage the equipment you carry as it can impact the speed of dodging and your attributes are important as well, mechanics that can be advanced for casual players.
    I got a lot of frame drops during my playthrough... even 7 months after it's release not all bugs and issues were fixed.
    Elden Ring is a good game at the end of the day but it's not for everyone. It's a evolution for the Souls games but nothing revolutionary for the game industry. The combat is fun at times but it's unbalanced bosses and some annoying enemies can ruin your mood to play it specially in the late game.    … Expand

    Fix your game! Worked great at launch, but you update and change the meta enough and now this game is horrendous! This is part of the reason I stopped playing CoD. One week it's semi balanced, A bunch of babies show up complaining, and now it's an unbalanced mess.

    the only open world game of 2022 that deserves to be played unfortunately day one it had a lot of bugs on ps5, loss of data, framerate, boss that bugs and no online for some players on ps5 as well as Xbox but unfortunately the best place is on Xbox serie X, the game is improving even if it still has a little bug but less framerate bug but still present...

    Its a good game, not the greatest game, or maybe its just not my thing. The game gets a little repetitive, and boring. People complained about the Breath of the Wild shrines, well these mini dungeons are even worse. Not to mention they keep using the same enemies over and over again.

    Played it at release on PS5, got the Platinum in one month or so (playing slowly and steadily), but writing my thoughts just now. Elden Ring is a very good game, but not the masterpiece that the mainstream media made it look like.

Elden Ring is a very good game, but not the masterpiece that the mainstream media made it look like.

    First, the lore. It's the same poor storytelling inherited from the Souls franchise, with very few NPCs and lore based on item descriptions. While this was never a problem with Dark Souls, this time they marketed a lot that partnership with GRRM, so I was expecting the best of the two worlds, and it never happened. It felt like a waste of potential.

    As an open world game, From did a soiid job but it did not set the bar higher in the genre. In fact, there are quite a few bugs that don't break the gameplay but harm the immersion. On that aspect (immersion), the first 10 hours or so are a huge WOW, but as the ending approaches the experience is already getting dull, with many bosses and sub-bosses repeating themselves needlessly. The final boss, by the way, was the most anti-climax enemy I've seen in a long time.

    The endgame is weak, there's little reason to go for the NG+. I actually enjoyed the experience overall, but I'd be lying if I said that I'll remember it for a long time. When the credits started rollling I was like "so, that was it?".

    Let's be fair: it's a must play, but still inferior to Sekiro. My problem with Elden Ring is not what it is, but what it could have been.    … Expand

That said this game is a big step back for boss fights which has been the big appeal for fromsoft games in the past. A game with 80+ bosses only has a handful of actually enjoyable fights. The final boss while beautiful will almost certainly be known in the future as one of fromsofts worst bosses. And not get me started on the fire giant. Overal good game but not amazing… Expand

Elden Ring got me all hyped. I bought a ps5 to play it and I'm sorely disappointed by my experience. I'm 90 hours into the game and it's boring. It's (excuse the pun) a soulless experience. This game suffers from what Metal Gear Solid 5 suffered from. It just didn't need to be open world. FromSoftware excels in tight level design. This is their first stab at open world and it shows. You end up riding around a dull world looking for action only to be confronted with too many bosses, many of which are lazily recycled. I'd prefer a smaller world packed with danger around every corner and less but more unique enemies. FromSoftware fell into the trap for open world games that more is better. I bought this digitally so I'm really pushing myself to finish it but after 90 hours in struggling. And not due to the difficulty. The game doesn't reward the players time. Empty, barren worlds with crappy gifts at the end of a dungeon or mini boss isn't fun. Bloodborne **** all over this game. I've been playing FromSoftware games since demon soul's on ps3 and (excluding ds2 and sekiro) this is my biggest disappointment. Dark souls 2 gets a pass because the FromSoftware B team made it and sekiro was an entirely different game with a few overlapping mechanics. Elden Ring could've and should've been their magnum opus but instead ends up as just another bland and repetitive open world game. The only difference being that it has harder enemies compared to other triple A open world games.… Expand

    Detto ciò, essendo che nel mondo video ludico non ci sono solo i giochi From la valutazione deve essere differente. Soprattutto considerando l’enorme mole di giochi open world disponibili.
    Il mondo è estremamente statico, nemmeno la vegetazione reagisce minimamente al passaggio del PG, cosa non da PlayStation 4 ma da PlayStation 3. Il mondo se non per la presenza di mostri (a volte molto ispirati e comunque presenti in grande varietà) è totalmente morto e vuoto. Tecnicamente parlando siamo di fronte a un gioco a inizio generazione PlayStation 4, non ci passo sopra “perché è From”, sopratutto considerando il frame rate instabile in un gioco di questo tipo.
    Tralasciando il reparto tecnico insufficiente, ci sono state belle innovazioni nel combattimento come ceneri e il salto. Ma si tira dietro i classici problemi della saga. Hitbox imprecise, animazioni legnose e imprecise. Con animazioni imprecise intendo che per fare un parry l’unica cosa da fare è imparare a memoria il tempismo andando a tentativi. Perché in base al nemico il tempismo cambia ma non segue l’animazione. Quindi abbiamo un sistema di combattimento difficile NON per una AI particolarmente efficace e per un combattimento estremamente tecnico e profondo, ma semplicemente perché non è fatto come si deve. Anche perché è un sistema di combattimento abbastanza basilare.

    Reparto creativo eccellente, bellissimo a livello artistico. E per chi piace, ottima anche la “narrativa”. In sostanza, come gioco From gioco da 9, come gioco nel mondo reale dove esiste la concorrenza e le altre case di sviluppo, oltre al 7 questo titolo non merita.    … Expand

However, mine are not, so I just thought it was ok. I recognize it as a masterpiece of its genre, but it is far from my favorite game.

    Long review:
    There is plenty of lore (backstory), but the gameworld is a broken and unattractive place, devoid of any viable communities that could theoretically rebuild the world. I never felt a sense of wonder or desire to be a part of the world being depicted, and not once did I fantasize about living or being in the lands between (the gameworld), which I do in the best games I play. At best I felt curious about how the place became so miserable, but that's about it. I was also never drawn in to the story by a desire to become Elden Lord. The closest thing to a community I found in the game was a crazy group of culty enemies, so why would I want to rule such a place? Since the game is just about killing basically everything, it would have made more sense if the game was a story about revenge. At least then perhaps I would have felt some motivation to kill things (other than disgust at their gross appearances).

    The game's exploration if fun, and I like the lack of objective markers everywhere. However, I wasn't exploring for the love of the world (everything is too dark and disgusting for that), it was just out of a desire to find the rare item that would help my build so I don't die as much.

    The first 10-15 hours or were much better (limgrave and the weeping peninsula), when I still experimenting and trying to settle on a build, but after that the game became increasingly tedious.

    Boss fights can be thrilling, and beating bosses can give you jolts of adrenaline and excitement. If that's what you like then this game is for you. If you like experimenting with combat builds then this game might also be for you. If you can, try playing at a friend's house before buying.    … Expand

I don’t wanna look on YouTube or google it. But this game made me do it. I like a challenging game. But I don’t wanna die like 100 times ( talking about first play through ) after the end game. It felt like it’s done. Why go to NG+. Yea maybe we mist a quest then u can do it again from there. Anyway. After ng+2.. I was farming a lot of runes. Also side bosses… then I just went for main bosses. That’s it. Didn’t care about anything else anymore. It feels really boring…. No hate. My score was first 9/10. But now after ng+5. It drops down to 5/10

    Btw.. after patch update in late April. On PS5 it feels slower when I do combo sword attacks. My stamina gain slower aswell. Try rivers of blood katana. Use the blood skill. Then u will see what I mean.

    ** My final score is 5/10. **

    What a shame. I really liked this game. But going back now. Why would I?

    Multiplayer coop. Takes forever for someone to summon me. I already defeated the boss. I wait for someone else request my help. But then it takes ages. I had to wait 15 mins. I just cancelled it. Go to ng+ again cuz there is nothing to do. All the bosses I defeated are gone

    I give another try if we ever get a DLC. But for now. No thanks.    … Expand

    Could be better. I'll start with the cons first. Biggest issue is the quest system is so poorly done and it isn't obvious to follow. Fromsoft tried to fix this by adding in markers but the quests itself are still confusing as you don't know where NPCs will go.

Biggest issue is the quest system is so poorly done and it isn't obvious to follow. Fromsoft tried to fix this by adding in markers but the quests itself are still confusing as you don't know where NPCs will go. There is also a significant number of reused content throughout the world. I lost count how many times I fought the Erdtree watchdog boss and lost interest with all the repeated enemies. Another flaw I felt was the multiplayer, why does this game still have a dated multiplayer pulled straight from Dark Souls? Speaking of Dark Souls this may as well just be called Dark Souls 4 with the similar summon/invasion system with an almost identical story. Not to mention... the same UI.

    Pros is thatI like that the world is huge with a sense of discovery. The mounted combat at least with magic is pleasant and intuitive. A lot of enemies are well designed and the biomes all feel different on their own. I enjoy that there are many secrets that reward those that check every nook and cranny. My favorite location had to have been the academy as it felt really interesting with all it's magic type enemies. The spellcasting system is much more rewarding than before which I found myself using more than a melee playthrough.

    To Fromsoft, please make sure on the next game to update the UI. I'm tired of seeing a LONG HP/MP/Stamina bar and seeing icons of what equipment I am wearing. Update the multiplayer, what is up with the summoning/invasion from another world nonsense that is pulled from Dark Souls? If you are going to make another open world please consider a quest system or make it more obvious where NPCs will go or give an indicator that you could be breaking a quest chain.    … Expand

    Terminado con 100 horas de juego y nivel de personaje 125. La sensación general del juego es que se ha intentado innovar en la formula Souls metiendo el mundo abierto con la esencia y mecánicas de los Souls. El resultado final no es satisfactorio ya que en muchos aspectos falla.

La sensación general del juego es que se ha intentado innovar en la formula Souls metiendo el mundo abierto con la esencia y mecánicas de los Souls. El resultado final no es satisfactorio ya que en muchos aspectos falla.

    El diseño de los enemigos y jefes es feo y poco inspirado. A mi personalmente no me han gustado y creo que se podrían haber trabajado más a nivel artístico. Los paisajes en cambio si se ven mejor y son de mayor calidad. Además se han reciclado descaradamente de juegos anteriores enemigos y jefes. Las invocaciones de las cenizas eran una idea buena pero está mal ejecutada ya que no tiene sentido que solo se puedan utilizar en ciertos momentos y no estén disponibles siempre. El caballo lo mismo, hay veces en los que no aparece disponible sin ninguna justificación. El caballo y las invocaciones deberían ser compañeros de aventura y deberíamos ser libres de utilizarlos siempre que queramos y no solo cuando el juego quiera. El crafteo de materiales para la creación de objetos se utiliza muy poco y es algo que se nota que está poco trabajado.

    La historia y el lore es muy completo y profundo como en todos los Souls. Como siempre tendrás que investigar tu ya que el juego no te cuenta nada de forma directa. Las localizaciones y situaciones que se producen durante el juego al final se repiten y dan ganas de dejar el juego. Los castillos, los campamentos de soldados, las torres, las ciénagas, cuevas y las mazmorras se repiten por todo el mundo cambiando solo pequeños detalles. Tienes muchas historias paralelas de los NPC que jugar y misiones secundarias que alargan la duración del juego y eso es de lo poco positivo del juego.

    El multijugador es como en todos los Souls, lo utilizas cuando se te atasca algún jefe final como fue en mi caso. Solo lo utilicé para las 2 últimas peleas de jefes finales. No hay ninguna novedad al respecto.

    Yo personalmente fui a completar directamente la historia principal para pasarme el juego lo antes posible ya que se me estaba haciendo muy largo y quería terminarlo contra antes. Una vez me lo he terminado no me dan ganas de retomarlo para completar las misiones secundarias que me faltan. Me he pasado Demons Souls, Demons Souls remake, Dark Souls 1 y Bloodborne. Este Elden Ring para mi está un escalón por debajo de todos ellos y creo que el hecho de ser un mundo abierto le ha hecho más mal que beneficio. La formula original de los Souls se pierde en parte y se difumina bastante.    … Expand

    I can't really fathom all these 10/10 scores, i feel like you all played a different game. Like sure the bosses are fun, sure there are some cool loot in this game. Here is the thing though, recycling. Too much and and it's boring, too little and you have a 20 year project. Personally i felt it was too much, same boss in some random dungeon like 3 times, didn't feel rewarding in the least.I can't really fathom all these 10/10 scores, i feel like you all played a different game.

Personally i felt it was too much, same boss in some random dungeon like 3 times, didn't feel rewarding in the least.

    Main issue is the balancing, you could easily just balance the weapons so that there isn't such big gaps. First playthrough i died on average 60-90 times per boss, because i like short duel-wielding weapons, makes me feel cool. I had no idea that here you cant do that because the bosses are scaled to handle op magic casting sh*t, which took me a long ass time to figure out because nobody knew anything yet. Playthrough number 2 3 4, im just cruising through the bosses like it's nothing. is it because i "got gud"? No, it's because i found op **** and scaled hp, because scaling anything else is almost useless. The best strat is getting a good weapon and just getting enough stats to cover the weapons needs and then only level vitality.

    I leveled from 20-40 in dex just to test this theory on a boss, i went from 350 per hit to 409, rather useless if you ask me. So my issue isn't that it's "too hard" or "too easy", it's that without knowledge it's too hard, and with knowledge it's so boringly easy that it's hard to concentrate. A lot of people take pride in this difference and say "it's because i explored so well" "i got good", when that's not the case.

    Prime example is if you start samurai: basically easy mode, if you go bandit: hard mode. There has never been this much difference between classes at the start. You could always "out-skill" the boss with well timed doges in ds3 but here that is less of a factor and your starting gear matters more, which i think is a huge issue.

    The only thing here is the awesome bosses that carry the whole game, some cool moments at the end after boring, tiresome, and repetitive gameplay, which to be honest made them feel more grand, so i'll give them that.

    But it's not a masterpiece, not in the slightest. It's too repetitive, very bland scaling system that makes no sense, poorly scaled armor, and an overvalue of the vitality stat. If these where fixed ye then i would agree it's a masterpiece.    … Expand

    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.
