    Introduction: I adored demon's souls, and so I decided I had to give this game a try. There is a lot of hype surrounding this game, and also people often like to compare it to its predecessors, which makes reviewing the Elden ring harder.

    87/100.

    He jugado tantas veces este juego que nunca aburre, al principio es difícil, si, y bien duro pero hay que tener paciencia y explorar hace que el juego se torne "fácil". 350 horas y aún en el 2023 cuando tengo ganas, me lo paso de nuevo. Una obra maestra.

    One of the best open world games on the market. Its story, characters, mythology, and difficulty create a unique atmosphere that I have not seen in any other game. Don't let the difficulty scare you, in the end repeating the battles until you master them and overcoming them becomes part of the experience. Essential purchase if you have a next-generation console.

    This game has been for me one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had. The world is huge and full of content and secrets.

The world is huge and full of content and secrets. The main levels are excellently designed and the boss fights are spectacular and epic. There are literally secondary areas that are amazing and even better than some of the main ones. There is a huge variety of weapons, armour and spells, talismans and skills, which leads to a fantastic build system. The normal enemies are also great but the further you progress through the game the more they repeat themselves (also some bosses). The side quests of the npcs are very interesting and the lore of the game in general is great. If you start investigating you realise how complex it can be and how well thought out is the story that surrounds the world. It's a world that feels alive and not at all empty.

    One of the aspects I liked the most about Elden Ring is the artwork. It may not have the best graphics but, artistically, it's a beauty. Probably the most beautiful videogame I've ever played in my life. I'm fascinated by the amount of detail in any wall, column or structure. Also, I think it's great that the scenery itself gives you clues about the history of the place where you are.
    Finally, I wanted to highlight the game's amazing ability to surprise you with each new area you reach, through its fascinating art design.

    It's been over a year since the game's release but if you're playing it for the first time, I highly recommend you not to spoil yourself. The experience will be 100 times better    … Expand

    An outstanding soulslike game; the open world format makes it much more forgiving and less prone to roadblocks (e.g. spending countless hours on a single boss).

    Открытый мир сначала воспринимался очень странно, а в итоге одна из лучших соулс игр когда либо выходивших. С дополнением не должны налажать, хотя и так игра выглядит огромной комплексной и полностью законченной.

    This Game is HUGE!! There is SO much to do. So many weapons, a lot of upgrading and smithing, amazing dialogue, the bosses in this game are phenomenal, fighting is satisfying, awesome story, and overall, it being my first souls like game I have ever played, is a groundbreaking one.

There's a lot to love about this game, the world is beautiful, the the boss fights are uniquely designed, the wide array or weapons and sorceries to use are extremely fun, it's extremely challenging if you like challenging games like I do. Elden Ring overall has very few low points to it. The main low points can be how the input reading in a lot of bosses is EXTREMELY prominent, some late game bosses are so heavy on the input-reading to where they will literally walk in circles with you waiting for you to move in order to counter-attack you. I've had boss fights where I've literally walked around in a circle for a few minutes without the boss even moving. The other downside is how huge of a difficulty spike the game has in the mid point, early game feels like a breeze if you've been optimizing character stats, but at mid point the enemies and bosses get so powerful they can almost one shot you all the time, to the point where it makes it seem like leveling health isn't even helpful, it's just insurance to not get one shot by some bosses. Even then, some bosses can bring you to near one shot with their combos making vigor leveling seem kind of pointless.

    That aside, the game has a lot of strengths in every aspect of it.    … Expand

    Un juego mundo abierto increíble como muy pocos en la historia de los videojuegos , lo que he sentido con este juego no lo he sentido con ninguno y me he pasado todos los GOW y el Bloodborne también , lo digo porque se suele comparar con estos dos. Pueden decir que se alarga al final , que los bosses se repiten , pero las primeras 60/70h de este juego valen oro puro y el final también.

Restar valor al juego por su duración o por sus bosses repetidos cuando tiene una cantidad absurda de jefes impresionantes , no solo los de la principal, y por su duración es triste para mí .

    Everyone that rates this game bad are haters or just bad at souls games and can’t handle the difficulty. The world is full of enemies and very alive and the bosses are phenomenal. This is my favourite fromsoftware game and deserved the game of the year.

    This has to be the most, time-consuming, grinding, tedious game I have ever played. It pushes you over the edge more than is necessary. When a game causes more stress and pressure than work or school it should not be called a game.

    One of the best and most challenging games I've ever played, The lore is its weak point as it could be worked on more, but the game play and open world immersion make up for it.

    Myself being new to this genre, I can say this game has me hooked.

    While being as brutally difficult as it's known for, it's also amazingly beautiful to look at, easy to get lost in, immersive, and enjoyable.

    I say all of that on the day after I lost a total 50k runes

    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.
