    Wonderful adventure. Played on PC, a little stutter and could be optimized better. Despite all that, the game is so amazing and memorable. It's so good that I kept thinking playing Elden Ring during work. Some love/hate this game because of the difficulty. I'm neutral regarding difficulty. However, the sense of adventure

    Truly game of the year material, massive interconnected world with the same incredible art direction and map design. Gameplay felt a bit too easy due to the sheer amount of tools you have at your disposal. Hope Fromsoft does not fall into the trap of making their future games too easy to get wider audience.

    Simply the best open world game in tears, is like Skyrim, Zelda BotW and Dark Souls mix the best of their worlds together. Anything less to that a 9 for it is coming from a tasteless, bad at the game player... If you get good you'll see why it is a 10/10

    I've also seen too many people giving this game a 0 & then saying "I've played about 5 hours" ... Stop it. I won't even talk about people getting their ass kicked & giving the game a 0.

    This game is a masterpiece, it will win GOTY guaranteed, & it'll be referred to as one of, if not the best game of all time.

    I've currently played 100+ hours & in the early stages I had more issues with how slow the pace was, but now that I'm far deeper into the game I'm glad nothing was rushed.

    Elden Ring takes all the best elements of previous titles, & even feels like it takes some inspiration from other games such as Dragons Dogma, & blends them into the most cohesive, massive open world with the richest lore that I've ever played. Just when you think you've seen it all, there's another massive, detailed lore rich area to explore.
    Boss fights are fantastic, with Radahn being one of my favourite fights so far. They can be absolutely brutal but it only adds to the scale & importance of who they are in the games story.

    There's a lot of twists & turns in the game, a lot of areas that bring out emotion & depth, & the game is just a true masterpiece once you settle in & really engage with it.

    The minor gripes I have are that magic is way too overpowered right now, allowing certain scrubs to just flatline most bosses with very little effort, & there's a shortcut to an end game area allowing people to massively overlevel which i hope they cut off. The games story can be a little bit slow, but the benefit of that is you really have to explore everywhere & it gives you time to take more of the game in.

    Do not take any review seriously that has a 0 & says "I've played less than 30 hours" ... Or tries to talk about no quest logs, or other babifying features that we do NOT want in this game. There's a million other games with too much UI, & too much hand holding... There's a reason this game is rated so highly, because it's as pure as a game can get while also being an absolute masterclass in world building.    … Expand

The first experience is incredibly memorable and the main bosses are amazing, the lore is nothing to talk about, although I think it's very similar to Dark Souls and lacks a bit of originality. The problem is that there comes a point, more precisely in the second half of the game, that it gets very repetitive, the optional bosses are very forgettable, the boss repetition is ridiculously annoying and the game balance is so unstable to the point that you are OP without nor make effort, ruining the Experience. The soundtrack is far inferior to past games, especially if we compare it to Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne, you can count on your fingers which ones are really memorable and incredible. The exploration of the world itself is phenomenal and intuitive, it's really a revolution of the open world system, but unfortunately that's only true for the first time playing, making the game have very little replay factor, as you've already seen all the new exploration. In short, the game is amazing and extremely fun and addictive, it has a lot of successes but it also has a lot of flaws. For FromSoftware's first open world game, I'd say they are to be congratulated, they improved a lot from the other games, but honestly it could have been better. If they had more creativity and time, the game would be immensely more memorable and most of the game's serious flaws would be minimized. Overall, it's an unforgettable game on your first playthrough and it's really worth it, it's not quite a masterpiece as many have said, for me it's basically an open world Dark Souls 4, but it's worth the investment, especially nowadays where the market of Videogames only cares about money and quantity, while FromSoftware cares more about the artistic factor and quality in their games.

    A huge and beautiful dark fantasy open world which is a joy to explore, there's so much to do and find and some really cool and fun boss fights. The game just drips quality it's really well made and atmospheric. There's so much freedom in building your character and tons of different weapons, armour and magic spells to find. There's also zero busy work which is something which ruins most other open world games. They nailed it, it's awesome.

    It isn't perfect though as at times i feel the game is just too difficult for the sake of it. Near the end of the game i was over level 100 and had a maximum level weapon so i was able to crush regular mobs with a few hits but i was barely scratching the bosses. Unless you want to spend hours trying to beat a single boss then summoning other players is essential.
    Also the final boss is complete nonsense. You are required to beat two of the hardest bosses in the game in a row with no rest in between. Basically you have to get perfect at beating the first boss before you can even practice how to beat the second one and i think that's a step too far. I have finished the Dark Souls games multiple times but i can't see myself returning to Elden Ring for a while even though i loved the game up until the final boss.

    Overall though this is a really great game and i'm looking forward to the DLC.    … Expand

    I have never had this much fun building a character that is completely my own, and I am looking forward to making more characters.

    I enjoyed that they made quests and objectives harder to follow than a normal open world game but the balance was too much on the hard side. It’s too difficult to follow quest lines and know where to talk to NPCs or what you should be doing next.

    The story is quite vague and hard to follow, jumping in and out over extended periods is virtually impossible, not so much as quest log.

    Given you are locked out of certain items if you progress too far without doing a quest, they should be easier to find and follow. I also felt a bit less engaged with the narrative than I felt I could be if I really grasped the story as I was playing.

    At times combat can be very annoying when you get stuck up against a wall or even clip through some larger enemies you can’t move away from. In such a punishing game where every hit counts, it can be very frustrating.

    Performance issues are still not fixed on PS5, the game cannot run at 60FPS. Given it’s not exactly a very advanced game graphically, it’s baffling this can’t keep a consistent 60FPS. I love the world and art style but the visual fidelity is just not at the standard of other next gen titles.

    An excellent game, certainly very different and breaks the traditional mould for open world games but the balance is not right for me. A fantastic game that has potential to shift how other devs look at open world games which is great, but I can’t give this a 10/10 when there are clearly issues in multiple areas. But it comes close to a perfect 10, what an incredible game, I have 100 hours at the time of writing and anticipate a few hundred more.    … Expand

I may be unable to put it down but that doesn't make it the best, the gameplay loop just never feels concluded.

    For all the amazing aspects of the game and being the most refined Dark Souls (specifically) combat, there's just more busy work and lack of intentional pacing than the rest of Fromsoft's greats. It never reaches the highs the other games do and though it's open world, it feels much less of a unique and revolutionary game changer like BB or Sekiro were to the Fromsoft format (I consider those 2 games masterpieces and my favorite Fromsoft combat systems). The open world is cool but it does make everything feel less specifically intended and crafted, & you're often either over leveled or underleverd for an area. And while the areas can be beautiful they don't stand out in memory to me like DS1 interconnected world, BB amazing Lovecraft aesthetic, or Sekiro beauty and fun traversal.

    And while the world style feels reminiscent of Breath of the Wild as you figure it out naturally without markers or arbitrary blocks, it pales in comparison with little variety in gameplay when you explore, just different enemies and visual environments.

    I'd honestly have preferred a DS4 or BB 2 or Sekiro 2 over this tbh. Open world is cool but I haven't really found any reason why this is an improvement to a the semi linear design of the other games; I've mostly found it amusing at some points, and frustrating at others.

    It also has more bugs than either BB (which ran low fps at times but the graphics stayed consistent) or Sekiro did on the PS4. Quality mode is literally unplayable, with likely sub 30 fps, and performance mode has noticable pop in. It's weird how I think it's more visually sparse than those 2 games but has more trouble running on brand new hardware.

    Still, game of the year for me no doubt. Even a bad Fromsoft game (like DS2, which I do enjoy) is still miles ahead of most AAA studios. So this being great, but not a masterpiece imo, makes it a joy to play.

    It's the first AAA in awhile that I felt worthy of the price and genuinely want to finish while living up to expectations (I didn't expect it to be a 10/10, more like 8.5/10).    … Expand

    Nur vorweg: Für eine volle Review von Elden Ring, reichen 5000 Zeichen nicht aus. Daher gehe ich hier nur auf die meiner Meinung nach wichtigsten Punkte ein.

Nur vorweg: Für eine volle Review von Elden Ring, reichen 5000 Zeichen nicht aus. Daher gehe ich hier nur auf die meiner Meinung nach wichtigsten Punkte ein.

    Der Großteil des Spiels, also der Teil der nicht aus den Hauptbosskämpfen besteht, gefällt mir sehr gut. Die Erkundung der Spielwelt ist jederzeit ein gefährliches aber lukratives Abenteuer und man findet an jeder ecke irgendwas. Auch den obligatorischen Wasserfall mit der versteckten Höhle kann man finden. Die Landschaften an sich sind sehr schön dargestellt, grafisch kann das Spiel allerdings nicht mit dem Demons Souls Remake mithalten. Es wurde stark auf Partikeleffekte gesetzt, Texturen und Charaktermodelle wurden an manchen Stellen aber ausgelassen. Mein liebstes Beispiel ist hier Patches, da dieser in beiden Spielen vorkommt.
    Die Kampfmechaniken sind ziemlich genau so, wie in Dark Souls 3, nur dass die Waffenspeziefischen Spezialangriffe nun durch die Kriegsaschen ausgetauscht werden können und man nun Sprungangriffe durchführen kann. Außerdem ist es nun möglich, Geister für die Unterstützung im Kampf zu beschwören. Dabei hat man eine große Auswahl, die allerdings fast immer bestimmten Gegnertypen im Spiel entspricht. Man kann zum Beispiel eine kleine Skelettmiliz, eine Qualle(nicht zu unterschätzen) oder ein 3er Wolfsrudel beschwören, um mal die Anfänglichen zu nennen. Wie auch die geistigen Vorgänger, ist Elden Ring kein leichtes Spiel. Allerdings finde ich es falsch, die Souls Spiele von From Software immer nur als Schwer darzustellen, denn das sind sie nicht unbedingt. Sie sind knackig, ja. Allerdings kann man sich durch das erfarmen von Runen das Leben sehr erleichtern. Die richtige Planung sowie das ein oder andere Waffenupgrade können dabei auch eine Skilllücke schließen, wenn es einem dann doch zu schwer wird. Und in Elden Ring ist das, aufgrund seiner offenen Welt wesentlich einfacher als noch in den Vorgängern.
    Was mich allerdings sowohl an Elden Ring als auch an den Vorgängern stört, sind die Bosskämpfe. Diese bestehen, anders als in Demons Souls, immer aus dem selben Muster. Man kommt in eine große offensichtliche Bossarena und macht im Prinzip nichts anderes als Rollen, Rollen, Zuschlagen und Rollen. Jeder Boss hat zwar seine eigenen Angriffsmuster, allerdings bleibt dieses Grundprinzip aus Ausweichen spammen und bei Öffnungen zuschlagen immer gleich(bis auf ein Beispiel, auf das ich gleich komme). Die Gegner haben dabei auch Ihre Resistenzen und Schwächen, die Schwächen machen allerdings nicht so viel Unterschied, wie man es sich wünschen würde. Bei Mini- bzw. Nebenbossen sieht das ganze anders aus, denn für diese braucht man teilweise bestimmte Waffentypen oder Angriffsmanöver um das Ruder rumzureißen. Die Bosse sind zwar immer schön in Szene gesetzt, dass aber kaum einer einen nennenswerten Twist hat, ist schade und teilweise sogar nervig. Erfrischend war hier ein Kampf zu Beginn des Spiel, in dem der "Boss" von ihren Scherginnen durch einen Schild beschützt wurde und man dem "Boss" nur schaden zufügen konnte, wenn man die Schildscherginnen aus der Masse findet und besiegt. Solche Kämpfe würde ich mir häufiger wünschen. Das Problem hierbei war allerdings, dass das nur die erste Phase war und der Boss danach wieder zu einem Rollfest wurde. Allgemein würde ich mir mehr Bosse nach Vorlage von Demons Souls wünschen. Eine Riesenspinne die einen Tunnel versperrt oder einen riesigen Drachen, für den man zuerst die umliegenden Ballisten abfeuern muss um ihn zu besiegen, sucht man hier vergeblich. Das Design und die allgemeine Aufmachung ist zwar immer beeindruckend und imposant, der Kampf an sich ist aber durch das immer gleiche Muster öde. Auch viele Gegnertypen wurden aus der Dark Souls Reihe kurzer Hand Recycelt. Bei Skeletten und Zombies ist das eine Sache, denn die kommen in fast allen Spielen dieser Art vor. Die DS eigenen Schleimklumpen und Frösche allerdings, sind 1:1 übernommen worden, genauso wie die Riesenkrabben.

    Über die Performance kann ich mich persönlich nicht beschweren. Auf der PS5 merkt man zwar stellenweise die Bildrateneinbrüche, dies wird aber durch den Motion Blur gut kaschiert und ist mir nur selten störend aufgefallen. Allerdings nur im Performance Modus. Im Qualitätsmodus ist die Bildrate merklich ungeeignet für diese Art von Spiel, was aber auch zu erwarten war.

    Alles in allem bleibt Elden Ring damit aber trotzdem ein gutes Spiel. Auch wenn die Bosse keine Highlights sind(was sie eigentlich sein sollten), weiß die Spielwelt und das Design durchaus zu überzeugen.    … Expand

Not trying to be a fanboy, but this game is not highly 90’s game maybe in the lower 90’s it Has problems and doesn’t deserve that high of a rating.… Expand

The world is simply mystical to explore, and you will guaranteed have 1 of the most memorable experiences of playing games you will ever have at some point in this game, and probably at several points. I know I have. And that's cool and everything. But it wouldn't matter if the game isn't fun to play. And well, nobody wants to spoil how amazing that consistently evolves throughout the game.

That's pretty much it and nothing else needs to be said, honestly.

    The game isn't perfect, clearly, but it's very hard not to give it the full score, since it managed to fully swallow my life for around 200 hours. It basically made me stop looking at any other game and even threw me back to finish past From Software titles once again.

    The graphics and art design is beyond beautiful. The lands between urges you to explore its caves, castles, mountains, underground cities and every other nook and cranny that you can (and sometimes can't) gaze your eyes upon.

    Combat system is Dark Souls perfected. Everything works and flows perfectly. It's basically hitbox porn, with great movement freedom and room for improvisation. Every build is viable and the game wants you to try whatever you feel like. And it's not just the jumping that makes a difference. It's your horse and its precise movements, it's your weapon skills, your sorceries and encantations, it's the enemies, your equipment... everything!

    Exploration is basically the name of the game here and there are TONS of things for you to venture yourself in at the open world of the Lands Between. It's incredible. I grew tired of open world games, but Elden Ring brought something different to the table. And it's not even anything new, it's just... tasty to relish in.
    The map is seriously huge and, on top of the "base quest", you can uncover hidden cities, tombs and many other places that WILL MAKE you keep seeking more. It's addictive and quite marvelous to experience.

    The lore, in my opinion, is probably the highest peak of the whole package. It's insanely well written (and well voiced) and each puzzle piece fits as you progress through the main story and sidequests. NPCs are memorable, discoveries are rewarding, optional bosses and areas are perfect and the whole story is just highly compeling. George Martin and Miyazaki did a wonderful job of creating this sprawling dark world, filled with mysteries and conundrums to feast upon during your gameplay.

    It all feels too good to be true, right? And sort of is, but Elden Rings' cracks start to become more visible as you lenghten your visit in this forsaken land.
    The biggest problem I've come accross has to be the repetition of assets. I did have a lot of fun prowling through catacombs and open areas, but by the time I reached the Mountaintop Of the Giants, it started to get to me. And the bosses. One of Sekiro's biggest flaws, for me, was the amount of repeat bosses, even if it made sense in the story. With Elden Ring, this problem is enhanced due to its open world nature. I grew weary of fighting the same bosses over and over, even right towards the end of my journey. I know that these types of things are normal, but it kinds hurt the experience a bit. Not to mention how unbalanced some of them are.

    Other problems include how the game kinda requires you to summon spirits, some places look the same, the lack of that classic intertwined level design that From's known for, uncalled for difficulty spikes in weird places, among other things.

    Again, these flaws were clear, but truly harmless, when you take everything you go through in into consideration.
    Elden Ring is a true masterpiece and there's no other way around it. Hard not to recommend it, especially if you are a fan of Soulsborne or open world games.

    But it makes me wonder: where will the team go after achieving such a high level?
    Only time will tell, but I can't wait to see what's next.    … Expand

There are parts that are fantastic, but those moments are lost in the spread out open world.

Worlds reduced down to their bare framework - the sense of dreadness, of being hopeless lost in a almost impossible quest. Hope never emerges in Dark Souls, their NPCs destined to die or become hollow. NPCs have few words for you, and the ending which is never a end, just the restart of an eternal loop of despairing and suffering.
    I played DS for many years. And I was expecting, hoping that this pureness would be preserved in Elden Ring.
    Instead, I just spoke to some woman who wants me to deliver a letter. Another one was looking for her husband ? Not sure anymore, as I'm not sure what I'm really doing in this game, beside galloping around, collecting flowers and occasionally face some monster. I guess Im supposed to do something but whatever - is more fun and rewarding just to scavenge around as the next shiny item could be just past that rock.
    And this is the first issue with this game.
    The second one is what I call "artificial difficulty". For some reason some 10 minutes into the game (following the beam guiding you) you hit a boss which is probably good for someone level 40 with well-upgraded weapon. Lets take DS for example, or DS2 / DS3. The first bosses are level-appropriate, doable with a unupgraded weapon, fairly slow and easy to read. Here we deal with a multi-combo jumping spinning area-of-attack as large as ever devil. In DS this would have been a mid-game boss, where you already are familiar with the game and have elemental weapons and so on. But Elden Ring expect me to run around to look for a good weapon, upgrade it, level up some 30 times before I can have a chance.
    So the game does not do a good job telling you "yor are underpowered" - specially as you can stroll by most of enemies to hit the next resting place.
    So we have now underpowered users sitting in front of a monster boss. And here lies the 3d Elden Ring Problem.
    While in the past summoning help was the equivalent to "help me", this time summoning someone makes things worse. Bosses have more health, do more damage, and the limitation in matchmaking to just be able to summon someone around your level means there are now two underpowered users facing the beast. With the usual deadly consequences. The problem here is mixing the old formula of similar-level to matchmaking with the open world. Soons the users will be spread on such a large level range (also weapon level counts in matchmaking, and there are 25 levels), that coop will become almost impossible.
    It is still a good game, specially if you play solo. But the magic of the old "jolly cooperation" is sadly no more there.    … Expand

The gameplay is great and while some bosses/mobs are being reused I have never felt like I have to do something again. The graphics could be a little better but the world is pretty amazing and most of the time I was surprised by how beautiful and unique each place is. While you can't change the difficulty you can still use certain things to make it easier (use broken builds/spells, use ashes or even call someone for help). This is the first single-player game that I have put 100hours+ into so it says something. Unlike other games, the sidequests (if you can call them that) are really unique (and long) and actually make an impact on the ending. There was always something to do in that game for me and it was a great adventure. I recommend this game to anyone.

    That being said that are two things that lower the rating for me:

    1. Effort that they have put into Ending(s) (cinematics etc) is very minimal. After 100 hours of gameplay, I would expect something more than 20-second video that doesn't show basically anything. Yes, I could imagine what was the outcome but still, this is a very easy thing to fix. That's probably because most endings reuse other cinematics. It seems like they just didn't care about ending presentation,
    2. While the sidequests and "main" quest are great the lack of any tracker (or even something that saves the dialogues so you can check what they have said) really lowers the experience. How am I supposed to understand (especially at the beginning) where some NPC will go or where I should go if I have never visited the place before. It's not like you will be at that place soon, it can take hours to land in the place where NPC is. That's the case if they tell you where they are, sometimes they just relocate without telling you. What really struck me in all of that is that some questlines can be broken if you progress too far in another one - so not only do you have no idea where to go you also might go in the wrong direction and ruin some questline. If you wish to experience all questlines you basically have to check on the phone where NPC will be and what NOT TO DO in order to not break them. That really lowers the experience.
    3. Close to the endgame it seems like FromSoftware didn't know what to do with normal enemies so they just increased their health and damage output and called it a day. I don't mind strong enemies but that just seemed random. I went from one place to another (literally next to each other) and the difficulty increased by like 300%.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would give it a 9/10 for PS5 and a 8/10 anywhere else.

    This game's depth in terms of combat and exploration, is immense. I just wish there were more story snippets (like pages/books we could collect and read, and actual written clues with scroll aesthetics) & NPC involvement. They did add this to a degree, but not as much as I would've liked.

    I don't mind the lack of "UX" or user interface. In fact, I actually prefer that, because it brings me back the nostalgia that I used to have when I first played videogames as a child/teen. Wow quests didn't hold your hand before; You used to have to figure out the quest by actually reading the journal and piecing together hints or directions. There used to be a point to the flavor text hidden throughout the world in wow.

    Castlevania games never held your hand, and neither did super Mario, or Metroid, or Fable 1, or Morrowind, or even Pokemon. They didn't have quest lists/instructions, or directional arrows, and their user interface was very minimal. Those games made me feel like I was on an adventure in another world, and it was amazing.

    Elden bring had brought me that feeling as well, so I'm very satisfied with my overall experience. My only gripes are with the poor PC port (they don't even have proper keybinds displayed), and because I would've liked more rich story involvement, or misc lore writings scattered throughout the land. Granted, the story and lore that's already there is amazing... But I think there could've been more, without watering it down to "fetch me/slay this" generic quests. It's just that there are barely any cities with NPCs that aren't trying to kill you. I know it's a From Soft game, but that's simply what I would've enjoyed more; an occasional change of pace for a game of this vastness. It's also nice to have some places for respite, with some familiar faces (outside of the round table, because that's only ONE place which isn't even on the map).

    We can't even ask our maiden to join us by a fire or anything of the sort.    … Expand

    Elden Ring is very immersive, you are in an awe with those majestic looking vistas. The character designs in this game are very well done, it kinda reminds me of Castlevania but has a punishing difficulty. The game is very difficult I think this is the most hardest RPG’s that I’ve play yet. It takes a lot of your time grinding you character to farm runes. Runes serves as currency in the game but also serve as experience to level your character. The game wants you to be patient and calm but sometimes those nerves will really get you, specially when you keep dying from an enemy/boss or an obstacle. Exploration is really what’s good about this game you can find more hidden secrets and areas just by exploring. Also there are no markers to the next destination for the main story line , I have to go search a wiki out of it just to finished the story.
    This game isn’t perfect it also shares annoying technical issues with other games like the camera.
    -The camera is one of your enemy when you are locking on to a target specially big ones it creates a weird angle that you can’t see enemies poise or the stance what strike it will do.
    -Another one is the wall, enemies strikes sometimes can pass through a wall, even if that enemy is behind the other side of the wall, like your hit box is really wide that walls cant stop enemies from hitting you.
    -Lastly and the most annoying is the delay response of controls whenever you are dodging and rolling or jumping specially when you are locking on to a target it sometimes doesn’t do what you want to do whether to dodge or jump or worst it gets delayed when you suppose to hit the enemies opening but your character keeps rolling because of the delay.
    I have a love and hate relationship with this game sometimes I just want to give up, because some certain enemies are annoyingly difficult. I almost broke my keyboard because of rage. If you want to play this game and you are up to the challenge. Here is a tip , magic spells or attacks are OP in this game, during my playthrough I build my character as a battle mage I used every weapon or magic spells that I could find that has more damage just to beat this game. Also read a wiki if it doesn’t really hurt your ego.    … Expand

Acredito que em todos aspectos o gênero evoluiu, sem perder sua essência ele consegue te teleportar ao primeiro Dark Souls. Neste ano acho difícil algum lançamento superar esse.

    The video game is a masterpiece for so many players, is the game bad and we're blindfolded, or did you miss something?

    Instead of a review with points that you can find anywhere, I will give my feeling about this new FromSoftware:
    Amazing graphics, let's be honest, it is breathtaking.
    And I'm not talking about the definition of textures because you can find better textures in other games nowadays. The world they've created is literally stunning! The topography gives a lot of verticality to the game and you find yourself wanting to go to a place just because you can see a crazy looking castle or tree from afar. Animations, particules, shadows, wind in nature, enemies, there is so much to see.
    The gameplay itself is so flowless, switch from one weapon to another, invoking spirits, the hit/parry is brilliant. However the camera can be finicky sometimes, as well as the "lock enemies" that can sometimes lock an enemy far away while you wanted the one that is in front of you (happens sometimes but it can be anoying to die for that). The game alternate extremely well between outside environment and dungeons, forcing you to diversify your way of playing.
    The loot is great, just great. They found the right dose of rare equipment (it's not a Diablo III) and being able to find some randomly or by exploring. The rewards at the end of big side quests are crazy but of course require stats you can't afford yet and that's excellent because that let you enjoy the ones you have right now but still looking forward to it.
    The beginning story is good for now but hard to follow, there's so many names. Sekiro had an easier story to follow, so it feels like a downgrade to me here, but I'm not far into the story yet to judge.
    Overall an amazing game that I will discover for the next years to come. Thank you FromSoftware.    … Expand

If you're looking for an honest review from a person who actually hates dark souls games because of how unrelentingly difficult they are and inaccessible they are to the vast majority of gamers then you've reached the right place. I've put 35 hours of game time into Elden ring and I'm a pretty high level and have beat the 1st 2 major bosses including about 15 or 20 other Mini bosses and I'm here to tell you that Elden ring's overall combat And open world is amazing.. For a new gamer it definitely takes getting used to and you will die but Once you accept that it is a difficult mountain to climb with the satisfaction of standing at the top of the peak at the end of your grueling efforts you'll come to understand the beauty of the soul's franchise. Now I'll get into the major problem for me which keeps this at an 8 instead of the 10 that everyone seems to give it. This game is almost inaccessible for new players, when you're dropped into the world you don't understand anything and no cut scene made me care enough or gave me enough information to truly understand my purpose. I've played the game for 35 plus hours and still I do not understand what it means to be tarnished what the Lands between even are or why I am in pursuit of the Elden ring. The few and far between NP c's that you do meet have 0 lip syncing and are not presented in well choreographed cut scenes and also oftentimes speak gibberish or nonsense that is difficult to understand. On top of that seeing as you don't even have something as basic as a journal to help you you often times get vague representations of Someplace far off in the distance with absolutely no true idea of where to go and because you have no quest book or log or journal of any type oftentimes the side quests that an NPC gives you are so difficult you end up having to go to YouTube instead of truly exploring the open world and finding the quest. Another thing I didn't like was the music you hear essentially the same score of music for your entire playthrough no matter what environment you go to or what part of the map you go to the music is the same thru and thru with the same track on repeat. And even with all of these problems even with the story being essentially an afterthought and and you essentially wandering around during around not knowing what to do I still find myself coming back to play this game hour after hour, Fight after fight, death after death, because the open world is on a skyrim level I'm level of discovery. Around every corner, atop every mountain, across every plane there tends to be something no matter how small worthwhile a much needed item, a new ashes of war, a new spirit summon, or maybe just maybe you get a new weapon. Bosses are so unique and so challenging that regardless of these few flaws I've told you here today which most certainly keep this game away from the fabled 10 out of 10, it is by far a great game worth playing . I know most of this review might have scared you away but I want to be completely honest when I say there are flaws that most newcomers to the dark souls franchise will not like And will not be ready for, but if you can get past that there is so much greatness here And I for one won't be the person to stray you away from such a gem. Elden ring is a great game and is a lot of fun and is worth every penny… Expand

I've spent 60+ hours traversing the various locations within the game and I am STILL finding things I missed before! With a varied skill tree and no real guard rails, every player is capable of having their own unique experience, exploration and perseverance are rewarded with powerful weapons, spells, armor, side quest progression and new areas to explore. PC players be cautious, the port is not perfect, and due to it's current popularity the servers are overwhelmed. However I find it very hard to criticize this game given the scope and effort put into it.

    Probably the biggest reason I recommend this game is due to the social aspect surrounding it. You WILL see and do things your friend might miss, and the UI is meant to be communicated amongst players. Multiplayer is it's own unique experience, and the game (like prior titles) allows you to leave helpful messages for future adventurers to read.

Exploring the map shouldn’t have a chance of holding your runes hostage because you wandered into an invasion you might not even know is possible with a lot of runes.

    The game does have compelling combat that gives genuine satisfaction when you defeat a hard enemy or boss! Even if they felt unfair you still feel so accomplished after you win on the first try or after dozens of deaths.

    -Un monde gigantesque tant en terme de surface ou de contenu, un jeu qui arrive à entremêler qualité et quantité est assez rare de nos jours et donc à souligner.
    Je me répète : un univers incroyable, une épopée épique et pleine de mélancolie mêlée au gigantisme du royaume (ref à Shadow of Colossus)

    -Une exploration intelligente et extrêmement généreuse avec de vrai récompenses à la clé !

    -Un gameplay sensiblement identique à celui de Dark Souls 3 mais en plus abouti : des centaines d'armes, sort, miracle, etc... des weapons arts (cendre de guerres) à foison et qui en toute la plupart une vrai utilité lors des affrontements et l'ajout d'un saut mdr, cela peut paraître assez anecdotique mais qui s'intègre parfaitement dans l'exploration et le gameplay roulade/saut

    -Une réalisation un peu en dessous des standards actuels mais sublimée par la direction artistique du titre, d'ailleurs celle-ci ne faiblit jamais et je tiens à féliciter FromSoftware pour cela !! On peut donc être un peu surpris par les animations un peu rigides et les graphisme ok tiers en début de partie mais une fois la première heure passée, on est dedans et on ne fait plus attention à ça.

    -Par contre la raison pour laquelle je ne met pas 10/10 est la suivante : Le clipping et l'aliasing sont un peu honteux pour les graphismes proposés en 2022, je ne parlerai pas de l'optimisation PC car j'ai fait le jeu sur PS5 voilà pourquoi j'écris ce test dans la rubrique PS5^^

    Para empezar he de decir que el juego es una gran obra, un sobresaliente en esta industria sin duda, pero al igual que cualquier obra, tiene sus cosas buenas y sus cosas malas, por lo que me gustaria comenzar con lo positivo:

    1. La direccion artistica es simpemente increible, los diferentes castillos, mansiones, aldeas y demas componenetes del mundo, incluso los propios enemigos y jefes de zona, se sienten unicos y diferentes entre si, todo hecho con una fijacion en el detalle abrumadora, ademas de que dependinedo del punto desde donde se mire, la complejidad del escenario es mejor o un tanto inferior respecto a lo que aparenta, lo que le da un aire de mistisismo al no saber que te encontraras.

    2. Las mecanicas, el combate y el gameplay se sienten muy bien a la hora de estar jugando, estan bien planteados cada uno de estos apartados hilado a la clase de personaje que se escoja previamente al inicio del juego, de la mano con la dificultad progresiva del mismo, la jugabilidad es simplemente reconfortante a cada paso que das en la aventura.

    3. El diseño de nivel es simpemente perfecto, cosa a la que ya nos tiene acostumbrados su estudio desarrollador con sus anteriores titulos, pero sumandole aun mas cosas gracias a la nueva faseta de mundo abierto. Las posibilidades para completar una zona son casi infinitas, y en ningun momento sientes que algo que no cuadre a tu alredor, todo esta en su sitio por alguna razon, y tu misison es descubrirla.

    4. El manejo del mundo abierto bebe mucho de The Legend of Zelda: breath of the wild, osea que todo lo que descubras depende enteramente de tu manera de jugar y tu atencion en la exploracion, lo cual da una sensacion de inmersion enorme, no hay iconos indicandote a donde ir, no hay npcs que te den un numero exagerado de tareas para que te veas en la obligacion de explorar, nada de eso, fromsoftware se esmero en que tu fueras quien forjara tu propio camino.

    Puntos negativos:

    1. Como ya es bien sabido el rendimiento en las diferentes plataformas no es nada optimo, y las consolas tanto de pasada generacion como de la actual son las que en peor estado se encuentran, teniendo un modo rendimiento que oscila entre los 40 y 60 fps, algo no acorde a lo que se espera de un titulo lanzado en estas consolas, junto con esto, su apartado grafico brilla por ser un tanto mediocre, practicamente luce como un juego de hace minimo 5 años.

    2. El juego no cuenta con una explicacion por lo menos basica de ciertas misones secundarias, practricanente no te dice nada, por lo que la mayoria de jugadores, creo yo, que se veran obligados a ver algun tipo de guia o ayuda de otros jugadores, lo cual le quita merito a la inmersion, en el caso de no hacer esto, lo mas probable es que te pierdas algun tipo de recompensa o bifurcacion importante de la historia.

    2. Hay un numero considerable de enemigos y zonas recicladas entre si, por ejemplo, es muy probable que te encuentres con un jefe secundario mas de una vez, e incluso, una de estas veces puedes encontrartelo como un enemigo comun y corriente, lo cual hace que la lucha contra un enemigo que parezac medianamente importante pierda peso y relevancia, asi como algunas mazmorras son repetitivas e incluso cancinas.

    3. No queda muy claro hacia que tipo de jugador va dirigido el juego, lo que si queda claro, es que aunque la libertad de eleccion se ve camuflada por las clases de personaje al principio, al avanzar en la eventura parace que todo te lleva a pensar que es un juego para clases que manejen magia y hechizos, en mi experiencia personal, que jugue con la clase "Vagabundo", me ecnontre con mas de un enemigo al que mi armadura, por mas fuerte que fuese, no parecia hacerle frente, esto junto a una barra de vida que parece ser ignorada por los enemigos, te da la sensacion de que estas jugando erroneamente.

    4. La interfaz y el HUD son toscos y anticuados para los tiempos que corren, acciones que deberian tomarte como mucho 5 segundos, aqui te toman el triple, tiempo durante el cual, al no existir una pausa, pueden matarte perfectamernte.

    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.
