The open world works incredibly well and the game never loses that which makes a souls game great. Elden ring can be extremely difficult but so rewarding. And if you get frustrated it's easy to go do something else. Controls feel like dark souls 3 and that's a good thing in my opinion. If I have to find some negative aspect, the dungeons can feel a bit repetitive. All in all, I would say this very well could be a game of the decade. Easy 10/10.… Expand

    this game comprises all the good you are looking for in an open world. an organic world, which lives on its own, and which pushes the player to explore it more and more. beyond the battle system which is already known in the souls franchise.

    Los graficos que tiene si que es verdad que no es lo mas novedoso hasta la fecha en la saga souls pero se compensa que el diseño artistico que tiene y el diseño del mundo que son preciosos.

    Por ultimo por 60 euros de media que esta el juego de salida como casi todos de salida, ofrece probablemente de media unas 100h de juego, que hoy en dia es algo a agradecer.

    La jugabilidad en su linea.

    One of the best games of the decade!

    It feels like every game From Software ever released was merely a trial for the gigantic and incredible experience that is Elden Ring.
    Being a huge fan of the Soulsborne series myself, I was completely awed by the way From Software merged together the best aspects of every single entry into one mindblowing open world game. The world feels amazing and detailed, exploration rewarding, the top notch art and sound design create an incredible atmospheric surrounding that one can get truly lost in for hours.
    The newly added features to accompany the open world design such as horse riding, more accessible fast travel and additional save points work perfectly well. The world feels detailed and full of things to discover.
    Since Elden Ring introduces some of the sagas most incredible boss fights, new freedom in exploration while staying true to the original feeling of the Soulsborne series and further enhancing the always amazing combat system, most veterans will for sure enjoy this installement.
    Added to this, the open design as compared to the mostly linear level design of the other From Software games will definitely open up Elden Ring to a wider range of players.
    While the game is still "hard" as compared to other current triple A titles and can therefore feel frustrating from time to time, the variety of tools the player is handed as well as the option to simply leave when being confronted with an overpowered enemy and return at a later stage after leveling up makes it more accessible even for players who have not yet had any expierence with the Dark Souls franchise.
    Furthermore, I feel like I have to specify how incredible huge this game is. Even rushing through only the main bosses and dungeons (the main dungeons being called „legacy dungeons“), it will still most likely take you up to 30-40 hours to complete it, with this number getting easily pumped up to over 100 hours if you take your time for exploration, side quests and optional bosses.
    You for sure get a lot of content for your money.

    However, even the best games are not without flaws and Elden Ring is no exception.
    Despite being the most accessible any From Software game has ever been, it still could use some more explanation and especially new to the series players might feel lost and overwhelmed at the start. It seems like From Software intends the players to play the game with occasional consultation of online forums and wikis, which is fine, but should be considered.
    Added to this, the game seems to be suffering from some technical issues and bad porting to PC, ranking the PC version of the game significantly lower then the ones for consoles. Playing with mouse and keyboard seems to deteriorate the overall experience by quite a bit as compared to the seemingly intended way to play with a controller.
    This review is created for the PS5 version after the day one patch. While playing no technical issues or framedrops occured, therefore this aspect of criticism of the game was not relevant for my personal playing experience.
    I strongly recommend anyone that likes fantasy action RPGs to try it out, no matter if you already have any experience with other Soulsborne titels or not. Don’t get yourself locked out of this adventure by fearing the so often cited high difficulty of this installment and just give yourself the chance to get soaked into the incredible and mindblowing journey that is Elden Ring.
    This game made me rediscover the amazement and excitement of childhood / teenage gaming like no other game has done for years.

    All in all, despite some minor flaws, Elden Ring for me is one of the best games of the decade and without any doubt a masterpiece.    … Expand

    Reading some of the negative reviews makes me jealous I haven’t played the games they have. I don’t think they played the game. How this game is both empty and boring is beyond me. Few games have more variety than this, personally I don’t know a single one. Summary great game, some of the people leaving negative tevoews are just straight up lying.

Game is a lot like bb in a way that it is between ds and sekiro but bb leaning towards ds and elden ring towards sekiro.

    Me he pasado horas descubriendo cosas y siempre me daba más curiosidad por ver qué había en el mapa, el gameplay es genial, la única pega que le encuentro es que a la larga es repetitivo con los jefes y algunas mazmorras, pero las primeras horas de juego son puro sentimiento de curiosidad más el estilo artístico es hermoso.

It does not have any dull open world activities or side
    misions like all ubisoft games. Just rotten and dead open world.Moreover it is surrended by many exciting mysteries also until 70 hours it does not repeat itself. And every mysterious place in this game have a worthy reward at the end. As a result it lures your exploration desire.Another important thing about this game is rpg elements.You can express yourself in every way for instance if you want to create a paladin of erdtree you can or a ice mage. In my opinion every item in this game has been created very smoothly and cool I spent my 10 hours to find every outfit. Final important point about this game is boss designs and design of open world first of all this game has many bosses some of them is similar but others is designed very marvelous as melenia she is one of the hardest boss in the game and I love her design and splash art if I mention difficulty of bosses. Very few of them is pretty hard others have very understandable patterns and not diffucult to find out.And most important thing for me is the world design this game gived me admiration every time ı stepped into another place.First time I went to capital(an area ın game)ı sat down and watched the sight. As a result I took 100 pictures untill the end and every of them is a work of art I loved them.Now It is time to talk about cons. In my opinion side missions questlines in this game is very hard to solve ı could've never done those if I hadn't searched on youtube. another thing is memorability of bosses let me explain. In sekiro I fought with well designed bosses like second form of owl or the last boss and every of them have left an unforgottable mark on me but elden ring couldnt have done that ( except malenia my love) All in all I recommend this game to every gamer especially who wants to starts souls games.    … Expand

For me, it has taken the top spot for action RPGs from Skyrim, which is extremely high praise from someone who played that game for a decade. I was astonished by the amount of content in the game, and with the amazing combat system which is now a trademark of Fromsoftware, it is easily my favorite action RPG of all time.

I’ve been scrolling down the reviews and have seen plenty of 1 and 2 scores siting “bad graphics” “old gameplay” and “poor optimization”.

I’ve been scrolling down the reviews and have seen plenty of 1 and 2 scores siting “bad graphics” “old gameplay” and “poor optimization”. Now while graphics are nothing special in the game, the art style if fantastic. There have been scenes in the game that actually made me use the capture button for the first time in a single player game. (And I’ve played red dead) besides, since when have graphics or old animation been good enough grounds to give a game a 1.

    Now couple that with optimization problems and ok, you have a point… if there were actually any major issues. This is the ps5 version of the game, not the pc version. I’ve seen the pc version, and while not unplayable, it certainly could be better. But on ps5, the game runs phenomenal. I haven’t had a single frame drop or stutter at any point in roughly 15 hours, granted I am only at the beginning. But if it stays even remotely as consistent as it has into the late game, then I really don’t see any reason to complain. There has been pop in in the distance, but nothing that I could really say ruins the game. And finally, for the bad/dated gameplay…

    Git gud.

    Seriously though, this is a from soft game. You knew what you were getting into. If you have a problem with bosses being able to kill you in 2 hits, that’s fine. but please, stop giving these games a 1 because you can’t beat margit the fell. This is a hard game, we all know this, but it’s also the kind of game that if you continue trying, continue fighting, you will eventually persevere. That’s why we all play these games, and especially with Elden ring, you don’t even have to slam your head against the same boss over and over. If one fight is giving you trouble, go off the other way and fight something else. You aren’t limited on your options anymore, and that’s what makes this game stand out from the previous souls games. Yes, it plays like dark souls but open world. But did it really have to be anything else? The world design is like Zelda botw, but with far less empty space. And the combat is similar to ds3, but still different enough to stand on its own. And even if it was identical to ds3… that’s still dark souls 3 combat. That’s not a bad combat system to follow. Just please stop giving it a 1 because it’s not sekiro. Well in summary cause I know y’all just skipped straight to the end, this game really doesn’t deserve all the 1s it’s getting. And I just ask y’all giving it such low ratings to rate the game for what it is, not what you wanted it to be. It’s not sekiro, and it’s not a graphics tech demo, but it is a masterpiece.    … Expand

    Fully reviewing this now after many, many hours, and all I can say is... I heartily regret not being able to give it a 10. It should be a 10, on so many levels, but I can only score it a 9.

    Why? Well, may as well get the only negative out of the way first - the performance is ropey. I've seen people defend it, and seen some pretending it doesn't even exist, but the brutal honest truth    Fully reviewing this now after many, many hours, and all I can say is... I heartily regret not being able to give it a 10. It should be a 10, on so many levels, but I can only score it a 9.

    Why? Well, may as well get the only negative out of the way first - the performance is ropey. I've seen people defend it, and seen some pretending it doesn't even exist, but the brutal honest truth is that the pop in on display here is staggeringly bad and takes you out the game on a consistent basis, and the frame rate is also patchy - not as bad, not enough to make the game unplayable (at least on performance mode) but it is certainly a factor.

    That's the only negative. In every other respect - gameplay, world building, level design, controls, writing, literally everything - Elden Ring is an absolute masterpiece. It is, without doubt, the best open world game I've ever played, bar none. Breath of the Wild, Skyrim etc. etc. don't have a patch on it - this is a staggering achievement from the developer. I lost count of the amount of times my jaw hit the floor playing this thing, how I was constantly surprised, intrigued, thoroughly lost in its' world.

    It's not graphical fidelity that draws you in. Elden Ring looks wonderful, but it's because of art design. There are so many games that have wondrous ray-tracing, all the bells and whistles and yet don't look a tenth as good as this thing because it has no visual pop to it. Compare this to, say, Death Stranding - miles upon miles of photorealistic dreariness - and it's chalk and cheese. So many games have combat that is challenging through sheer cheese, or gear gating etc. Elden Ring does it by simply having outstanding combat design. This is a game you could beat without taking a hit, and speedrunners will be doing so before long, because it is brutally difficult yet completely fair. You can count the games that achieve that on one hand, yet Elden Ring makes it look simple.

    I'm gushing about it here, but I'm not a From Software fanboy, at all. Dark Souls II is one of my most hated games ever. I scored DS3 an 8/10. None of their previous titles break my top 20 of all time, with Bloodborne coming closest. Before now. Elden Ring breaks my personal top five, because it has taken everything good in their prior games, discarded the bad, and polished it all into a package so ludicrously good that it's actually difficult to imagine how this can be bettered.

    It earns the term 'masterpiece'. Astonishing.

    ------

    (The below was my review in progress.)

    I'm writing this as a review in progress and will revisit the score if needed - I'm doing it now to counteract the ridiculous reviews from people who I'm 99% sure haven't even beaten Margit, the first boss yet. This is a massive game and needs more than a day or so to review, from anyone.

    So yes, first impressions - a flawed masterpiece. There are technical issues - the frame rate, even in performance mode, is occasionally janky, and the game is basically unplayable in 30fps quality mode. There is a fair bit of pop in too, and graphical fidelity isn't the best, but the art style is absolutely phenomenal, and that's more important.

    For the most part, on PS5 the frame rate holds up, and when it does the controls are tight, responsive and the difficulty as such is completely fair. The world itself is astonishingly well done, beautifully crafted with clever enemy placement and always something new to find round every corner.

    I'll come back in a week or two and review properly, but those scoring below 7 or 8 are well off the mark; even early on you can tell this is a top tier title, and the only real criticisms of it are a lack of accessibility due to difficulty (but not every game has to be for everyone; the developer should be free to make the game they want to make and not have to compromise authenticity) and technical hiccups.    … Expand

I have been anticipating it since it was announced, it has been an unhealthy obsession. The open world made it way too much of a slog. Traversal is annoying, fall deaths from exploring are tedious, the sheer amount of things trying to kill you at all times when you just want to explore, and your inability to fast travel or even look at the map when enemies are around you (basically always). I really hope fromsoft doesn't make exclusively open world games going forward.

    A big factor in how much you will like this game comes down to whether or not you like using spirit ashes and/or relying on summons for co-op. The game is clearly balanced for using spirit ashes, so if you use them, the difficulty is pretty manageable (exploration with all the enemies around is still tedious). But some bosses are just plain unfun by how difficult they are without spirit ashes. I for one, am not a huge fan of them. I hate a lot of bosses in this game. I really hate the final boss most of all. On my second playthrough I got all the way to the last boss and never finished the game. THe game starts out really strong, so you're tempted to play again, but then you get to a point where you're like, oh yeah, it's no longer fun after this point, or do I really want to go into that dungeon again? What's the reward for sompleting it again? Is it really worth it. Most of the time it's not because the reward is another spirit ash.    … Expand

Eventually I played and one late night alone in the irithyll dungeon the game clicked and made sense. Ever since then I have played every one...DS1/2/BB/Sekiro.

    Elden Ring is a stunning combination of all of those games put into one.

    It takes heavy influence from games like Shadow of the Colossus & Breath of The Wild.

    The atmosphere & mood is the defining factor here. You will feel lost, overwhelmed, frustrated and triumphant all at once. The game is asking you to get lost and through that feeling you find yourself.

    Even with all of my prior experience the game still scares me. I move cautiously & take calculated risks. Although sometimes I end up in areas where I cant turn back and I have to reach inside of myself for something more....I have to overcome myself & become more in that moment.

    Its hard to explain this feeling or to quantify it but it is the exact experience that Souls fans love and why the games are so adored. No other piece of media or games ask this of you. They hold your hand...Souls games leave you stranded on the side of the road and say "good luck"

    I read some reviews prior to this and they are complaining about graphics....about design...about frame rate....all of them are meaningless if you manage to let the game take you and unfold itself before you.    … Expand

The story is weak, but I feel that exploration is the key. You should be able to wander just about anywhere at any time and feel like you have a shot. If not, mark it and come back later. You are not guided whatsoever by a linear story, so if you're looking for a story driven game, look elsewhere. And if you're looking for next-gen or even current-gen graphics, you're not going to find it here. By why should that be a detriment? Some game choose to 8-bit their games.

Despite the unfortunate performance issues faced by certain players, I truly believe this was Hidetake Miyazaki's and Fromsoftware magnum opus. It's the culmination of all the games that came before - Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro, but the world is much more expansive, rich with lores, great gameplay, amazing locations, mind-blowing soundtracks, and grounded characters. Truly deserving its spot as one of the best games of all time.… Expand

    From Soft's best game to date. From graphics, to music, to gameplay to story. Amazing masterpiece.

    A natural evolution of dark souls… but this time in a massive open world. This will be one that is played for years to come

    It’s amazing. Great open world and very addicting. I haven’t had any glitches and the frame rate hasn’t been a problem for me

    The negative user reviews are a nothing but a scam. This game is so amazing and so great, I can't even remember when I had so much fun playing a new game on day one until Elden Ring. The hype was well deserved and again, The negative reviews are so dumb here.

    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.
