    Such a great game and really addictive. I’m a type of guy that would get easily bored after playing a game for 10 hours and I already played this for 30 hours.

    Great gram! The graphics are outstanding. Incredible story, and world building. The atmosphere, and game play are also outstanding. The game is very hard, and difficulty settings cannot be changed. This is definitely a game one should try next-gen systems.

    I've spent about 7 hours on this game. Whilst there are a few performance issues here and there on the PS5, the game generally runs quite well in performance mode and it looks absolutely stunning. The world of Elden Ring is very beautiful.

    It's a game for Dark Souls lovers, ou won't be disappointed.

    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 review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Perhaps the most brilliant first 10 hours in the history of video games, or, at least, that I have tried, enough reasons for it.

    - Best open world ever? You see a castle in the background, far away and you say... I'm going to go there to see what I find. It guides you in a very subtle way, nothing linear, it gives you freedom
    - It is a combination of skill and intellectual challenge, which is not easy to find: it makes you think strategically (how do I evolve the character, where do I go before, what do I equip, what strategy to use according to the enemy), combined with pure skills in the mechanics (learn the timing of the characters, be very skilled with the controller)
    - Combat mechanics refined to be the culmination of a concept.
    - Superb artistic design: some say that graphically it is not top. I don't entirely agree, the visual finish is tremendous, the color palette, the designs, the aesthetics... you want to discover more of the map to enjoy it
    - Catch even watch other people play on Youtube

    Things that convince me less

    - Indecipherable story: despite being part of their personality, it didn't take much for them to make the story more accessible. Directly, I don't know what happened in the whole game, nor did it generate any kind of interest while I was playing
    - Excessive duration: in my case, which I can dedicate a few hours, it lasted 120 hours, which translates into 8 months of games. In the end it became quite heavy... less repeated bosses, less content in general, pradoxically it would have suited the game better.
    - Unfair difficulty at the end: it was not necessary to chain bosses at the end… there were moments of wanting to throw in the towel.

    Even so, with its flaws, one of the best gaming experiences in a long time.    … Expand

    Very addictive and despite the frustration on some bosses managed to kill every boss in the game and grab the platinum.

    I went full strength and just swung my greatsword in front of me turning all enemies into a fine red mist.

The open world is a breath of fresh air and beast of its own. Over the 60+ hours I’ve put into the game so far I’ve had nothing but good times and whenever I put down my controller I immediately want to pick it back up again. It’s intoxicating and anxiety inducing all at once. The vistas, the swamps, the crumbled castles, the dungeons, the lighting and the atmosphere and more is jaw dropping. The world feels alive. The open world fatigue has been a problem for many years now but FROM has managed to take something familiar and make it unfamiliar. They have superseded my expectations in every way possible.

    * The world is too big*

    While this is a good thing for some. I'd rather have a world that is smaller but with bigger payoffs for exploration. Elden Ring has that but there were times I'd be exploring not to really find anything of value at all. Only a dead end or some trash mobs. I really liked the first two "starter" zones in Elden Ring because it really felt like there was a lot to find if you explored but once I beat the first major story boss, and progressed into the next area those rewards for exploring seemed to be less frequent. With some much to just look around at, it gives me exploration fatigue.

    *Music*

    The music is SO bland. Just creepy ambient sounds for the over world, and uninspired boss battle music. Once I left the starter zones I just started putting on podcasts as I played because the music isn't worth listening to.

    *Quest*

    This is nitpicking but the quests are just as cryptic as ever. Honestly, gold star to anyone who could have figured out how to finish Ranni's questline without a guide. Would be nice if there was just a little hint or something on what to do with quests.    … Expand

    Some enemy attacks, Bosses or traps are linked to what button you press, making the action predictable and loosing immersion. Looks like you are puppeteering the target with the controller...

    Why every soul like game must make the aiming/zoom mechanics of archery so old-school ?

    I know there is lots of different looking area in this game but some assets in large open portions of the same landscapes are copy-past like buildings, pillars and irregularities in the surroundings.

    Everything else is great. This game deserves its reputation. I hope every other companies out there take note and KILL their stupid compass and maps showing everything like your a newborn needing to be fed and learns what a real open world should be like.

    First of all this game isn't for everyone - much like most FromSoftware games aren't for everyone. I think all of us nerds alike always are intrigued by these games because of how amazing the worlds they are set are in. Dark High Fantasy and George RR Martin, how could people not want to jump in. Well, unfortunately for most getting a chance to run through these world, explore their secrets and dive into their lore is a dream they'll never fulfill because the right to do that isn't just handed to you - you have to earn it.

    I think this rings the most true for Elden Ring and is why for the first 4-6 hours I wasn't having a good time with this game. For reference, I have beaten DS3, Bloodborne, and Sekiro prior to this but the start of this game felt wayyyyy harder than any of those. But then after getting my ass handed to me by Margit for the 7th time I decided to go exploring and stumbled upon Weeping Peninsula. After that - it's all she wrote I haven't been able to stop playing this game.

    The open world aspect of Elden Ring is interesting to say the least - the way it is implemented reminds me a lot of Zelda: Twilight Princess from back in the day. Nothing really is guiding you outside of visual queues and some statues that will point you in the direction of caves and dungeons. This was very frustrating at first because I felt like I was running through a world with nothing to do on the surface level, but once you start to learn what to look for and how the game shows you where to go it really opens up.

    The combat is really great - sure there are some broken hitboxes here and there and gank bosses still drive me to my greatest rage but man it's so satisfying to try different Ashes of War and break enemy's poise. The sheer variety of locations, secrets, weapons, quests, and replayability of this title will keep me playing for months on end. It really is a nice change of pace compared to modern open world games.

    If you're struggling don't be afraid to find some guidance online even if it is "spoiling" your experience. If you quit at Margit and don't pick it up again there is no experience to spoil. Do what you gotta do.

    Real rating is 8.5/10 for frame rate issues, massive pop in, and I think a lack of open world mechanic explanation in the beginning. Even though it's a FromSoft game a little more direction to like a trial dungeon or something of that nature would have been helpful for a lot of players.

    If you can't stand this game then go play Ghost of Tsushima - it's a nice blend between Elden Ring's exploration style, traditional Open World exploration style, and a middle ground of difficulty and combat variety. But seriously, embrace being a Tarnished and struggle and claw to becoming an Elden Lord. It's always worth it.    … Expand

    Slight performance issues, along with some of the typical FromSoft lazy design choices bring this back from a 10. These criticisms are fairly small in the grand scheme of an excellent experience, which has stunning visuals and an intriguing story that requires you to actually pay attention.

    If you are a fan of FromSoftware games and open-world RPGs Elden Ring is a dream. This game doesn't tell you what you NEED to do. You do what YOU want to do. Go where YOU want to go.

    | highly recommend starting this game as a Wretch and not watching 100 videos about how to optimise the first levels or get the 'best' gear. Starting in this way makes the experience even more rewarding than it already is. You don't start with weapons that are already better than the first things you find. Everything is valuable, you adapt the way you play based on the things you find.

    Compare it to games like Valheim or Runescape, you start those adventures with nothing, you get stronger as you explore.

    If you are struggling on an area or boss you can leave and return when you feel stronger instead of feeling like you are required to do it like previous FromSoftware games. You will know when you aren't strong enough to proceed.

    The first time you die to a boss, your first thought might be is this is literally impossible... 20 deaths later when you have learnt most of their attacks and he gets to half health you begin to believe. Then get hit by a second phase which makes it seem even more impossible. 40 deaths later getting to the second phase is now a cake walk and you wonder how you ever doubted yourself. Then its just about learning the rest of the mechanics and believing in your skills with a controller or M&K. Finally when the boss falls... an overwhelming sense of accomplishment, and hopefully a huge item upgrade.

    This is why Elden Ring is so rewarding and everyone who loves a gaming challenge as well as an awesome adventure through a brutal, unforgiving and mysterious world should test their skill and attempt to become.... the Elden Lord.    … Expand

Personally - I played it single-player without FAQing anything. I find the messages from other players to be more distracting than helpful. (Minor spoiler) My favorite moment thus far?

Went with the confessor and turned it into a paladin and now a faith/melee hybrid battle cleric type with lightning. Really fun to play and looks so cool.

    - Accessibility during boss fight is the most accessible out of all souls borne games, Marika statue existence completely remove the players on hassling all the way through the boss arena.
    - The world is just simply amazing and a lot secrets might I add that will make you lose tons of hours of sleep just wanting to discover new places.
    - Bosses while some speaking of mechanics are very similar to previous souls borne games but majority are rather fresh and are enjoyable not to mention even with the existence of Marika Statue that doesn't mean you won't be using that a lot as some bosses are still rather difficult.

    I have been playing the game since it release and have accumulated atleast 20 hours and i have progressed a lot but the world is so huge that it felt like i was just barely scratching it's surface.

You are given a horse to explore this souls like world, but you will barely have time to ride it because there is just so much stuff to explore. I have found myself saying "ok I will just ride to that town I've been heading to all day." But about thirty seconds into my ride I see a tomb door enticing me inward. The result is I spend the next hour fighting through some underground level to fight a boss and take am ash of war or a special item or a weapon.

    And this exact thing happens a lot, each time the enemies are totally different, the boss is totally unique and the loot feels well earned.

    Not only is the game addicting but it looks amazing. Sometimes I actually have to stop and just look at the scenery. The textures are a bit dated, as they are with all Fromsoftware games, but the ambiance and lighting totally steel the show and you entirely forget about dates textures. The questing system is by far the best I have ever seen in an open world game or From game. Sometimes you will be exploring and find a random NPC who will just have a few dialogue options and it seems like nothing important. But in reality, that NPC as a hidden side quest that is triggered by giving them an item and ultimately unlocks a major function of upgrading. Or else grants you a very powerful weapon. People who say the game is boring either haven't played a souls game and thus don't understand how to find secrets in these games, or are too quick to judge and didn't actually spend time doing anything besides slapping dudes as a hero.

    That's the next big thing in this game, the character creation is even more open than ever. If you played DS3 and wished for better magic and faith options you're in luck, they have been massively enhanced this time around and playing a mixed build for say faith and strength is a bit more interesting now.

    Don't trust 0/10, this game is probably the best game of the souls genre and a very very good game in general.    … Expand

    Given the game has a few minor flaws, the overall work that has been done here doesen't fall short of beeing an outstanding masterpiece. Serious game of the year material.

    I really love art and the game feels like a mix between bloodborne and skiro what a masterpiece

    A phenomenal game that truly shows how far FromSoftware had come as a developer. However, if you don't love the previous FromSoftware titles, you probably won't enjoy this game, as it handles itself differently then a lot of other games in the mainstream. Although, if you have wanted to try a FromSoftware game, then this is a good place to start!

    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.
