    Detailed world with tons of different enemies. Tons of secret places. Awesome looking places and good fight mechanics. Powerful bosses. When you killed one of them you are feeling like you earned it. I'm feeling like I'm not an animal who kills a boss with spamming a button on game pad

    This is the best game I have ever played. There’s a whole adventure waiting for me every time I start this game.

    For those worried that you might die too many times:
    You basically don’t need to fight bosses. If you find them too hard, just explore the world until you level up enough to beat the boss easily.

The graphics aren't that good to be honest, but it really didn't matter because the game was more enjoyable that anything else in the market. I guess the next milestone that FromSoftware need to reach is a visual fidelity. It will do this game justice because the level design is from another world.… Expand

    The best souls-like game out there. It's perfect for the hardcore fans and for those who just want to hang out in a souls-like world and feel what it's like to play those kind of games. I'm saying this because this game is NOT HARD. You can create your own challenge, but at the same time you can just create mage, use summoning and game will because much easier.

I wasn't sure I'd enjoy the difficulty level in the game, but I can honestly say that I enjoy it. It's hard, but fair. Beating bosses feels meaningful. One of my favorite things about the game is the art direction. Some people have complained that it's graphics fall short of top tier for gen 5 systems, but the game's art direction more than makes up for it. I think it's going to continue to look beautiful for decades to come even as graphics continue to improve. I really can't recommend this game enough. It's one of my new favorites.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A masterpiece of gaming, not exent of some downsides, but full of dozens of hours of pure challenging joy.

    On the PROs, the gameplay itself is demanding but rwarding as well. The open world is probably the best I've ever visited, really intuitive and never ending. The music is also incredible and adds for the general feeling, and the art direction is simply superb.

    The CONs are few, but there are some: graphics are not at the level of the gameplay and the game has popping. The targetting automation tends to target enemies that are not the most menacing or closest ones, which can be exasperating in a game so difficult.

    Anyway, those problems don't make the game less appealing. I strongly recommend playing it, as long as you have long hours of free time to submerge yourself in it.    … Expand

    Great game with a gorgeous world, awesome bosses and an amazing sense of freedom and exploration without getting dull.

    I wish I could award it with a 10 however I feel the combat in this game is a step down from Dark Souls. Deaths do not feel fair, rather than being defeated by bosses you are being oneshot. That is not how you execute good combat.

Os problemas técnicos ainda persistem, mas ainda sim isso não tira o brilho do que a FromSoftware e o seu legado.… Expand

I have loved this game so much since getting it and it is likely my favoutite game ever. I have put around 100 hours into it, 3 playthroughs in total and every one of them has been an amazing experience. I get that some people really care about the techinical side of games, like the graphics and the frame rate, but at the end of the day the frame rate drops are very infrequent on PS5 and don't cause much issue, and the graphics aren't bad. Sure they aren't as good as horizon forbidden west or demon's souls but that isn't fromsoftware's focus so people shouldn't be expecting graphics like that. What makes the game look beautiful is the artstyle instead, this is where the developers main focus is and I wish people would understand that before buying the game and then giving it a low rating. If you care a lot about the techincal part of games, don't get this game. It's not trying to have the best graphics ever so don't expect it to. However, if you enjoy "souls-like" games or like open world games that have difficult and engaging combat, I would definately recommend this game.… Expand

    As a FromSoftware newbie, it’s a great game but very challenging and grindy. That’s not necessarily what makes it 1 point short of a 10 though. The game has serious technical problems like framedrops, and the feeling of joy is often short-lived because of a useless weapon that you can’t use for the next 20 hours and a lack of rewards for great accomplishments.

    This is the best from software did with the perfect souls like game from they experience, what a wonderful Open World they made even you not get boring like other open world games , it doesn’t make you stop to exploring because every time you found something new and interesting, and even the bosses and the mini bosses and enemies feels amazing.

    Absolutely the best game I have ever played in my life, hands down. Expect a challenge if your new to the Soulsbourne games, the difficulty is way over exaggerated, and the game gives you the tools to make it easier if you need, and there is so much freedom that you can always just move to a different area to if your stuck, and can come back after you’ve leveled up. Early game is alwaysAbsolutely the best game I have ever played in my life, hands down. Expect a challenge if your new to the Soulsbourne games, the difficulty is way over exaggerated, and the game gives you the tools to make it easier if you need, and there is so much freedom that you can always just move to a different area to if your stuck, and can come back after you’ve leveled up. Early game is always hard for new players, until you level up, get the gear you like and find your flow. But once you learn the flow the game is not “insanely hard” at all. It’s a deep game, but that’s why it’s so rewarding. Don’t expect much hand holding, this game won’t lead you around on a leash like others. But that’s the beauty, and what makes you feel like your on actual adventure. Instead of just watching cutscene after cutscene, being told where to go and what to do and how to do it. You will have to actually think some. There is no quest log. You will die, but you will overcome. You will find your way. And if you need help, there is a whole giant community ready to tell you to “Git gud” no really tho as long as your not whiny, people will help and guide you with WHATEVR you need. Just don’t show up crying or complaining that this games is trash. Show your resolve and determination, you will get respect and all the help you need. Not about being good, it’s about not being a baby. It’s about understanding these games are about the adventure, not the “difficulty”. This game sets out and perfectly nails what it’s trying to do. It’s not about just being hard, it never has. It’s about exploration, the journey, the atmosphere, the adventure. The hardship and overcoming it to become beast mode. Then you start wrecking dudes, until you get comfortable and come up against an enemy who only SEEMS insanely hard at first, and get destroyed. But you rise and come back to overcome. The performance has been ifffy for some. I’m on Ps5 and get an occasional small frame drop but for me that’s it, and even still I can’t imagine playing anything else right now, performance be damned. It’s worse for others granted, but that will get fixed. I never thought these games would be for me, I didn’t like “hard just be hard” games, until I actually finally played through one, and it clicked, and now after playing all of fromsoftware games from DeS, I understand the diehards. This is easily their magnum opus, a love letter to Fromsoft fans, but also anyone wanting to experience the FS formula for the first time. Don’t believe the negative posts that don’t relate to performance. Some games just aren’t for some people, doesn’t make them bad games. Being mad at performance is understandable, game breaking to some, but rest assure that once it is, you will understand why everyone who’s been able to play it before release has been giving it a 10/10. THANK YOU FROMSOFT!!!! You have done your fans proud, and we hope for a fix to the Performance issues so that no one will have any excuse to not play this game. Time will tell and I’m not worried about it success in the long run. So peace out, Im not a writer and have been ranting long enough, I’m heading back to The Lands Between on my magistical horned stead to stand beneath the Erdtree and make my claim. And I truly hope those who are having a difficult time with performance a speedy recovery so you can join in jolly cooperation!… Expand

The world is immersive, dark, and hauntingly beautiful. The gameplay is tight and engaging. If you ever found yourself enjoying a souls game in the past you will probably enjoy this game thoroughly.

    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.
