    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where to begin. I had fun. Sincerely. At 120 hours now going for endgame, yeah I had fun. I'm not an expert soulslike gamer and Elden Ring is my first start to finish game from FS I do. Part of the fun is very subjective and is tied to the artistic direction and setting. Being a fan of medieval/dark fantasy I guess it's only normal for me to dig FS propositions. The other reason is addiction. There is something going on in taking huge like bosses one after the other in huge like legacy dungeons. But that's the thing. Legacy dungeons leading to bosses is what Soulslike games have always been about. And so when I read reviews stating this is elevating gaming to new levels, that developers should take note for their future "open world" IPs and that Elden Ring is the best game of the decade, heck of all times, I can't help but wonder:

    - In what way does the "open world" part of ER is anywhere different than any Elder Scrolls proposition for instance (Oblivion in mind here, cause I couldn't stop referencing...), if not more limitating in what you can do in it, read almost nothing besides battles...
    - For the sake of immersion, your character isn't allowed to carry a log book on him, but can carry more than 200 pieces of equipement and armor but is affected by weight only for what is actually equipped on him?...the lack of log book to me unfortunately only serves at random NPC’s quests outcome far more than immersion...
    - That walking in a boss room fully equiped with a boss armor set ends up most of the time the same as if you'd walk in with your underwear? Yes Soulslike are mostly about parry/evade/roll, I-frames and boss patterns...but then why bother?
    - That a fire giant would be expected to be elemental weak to ice but ends up being weaker to stupid AI and "falling off a cliff" strategy...
    - That the only way to make sense out of what is going on is by reading countless amount of items related text in the main menu which is a nice addition to lore of course but in no way could be considered a thorough narrative line or story telling...that is I know a thing for FS games for sure but elevating the media?
    -That joining a given faction like the Tarnished hunters for instance, had strictly no impact on the world or outcome of the of the quest whatsoever, i mean tarnished hunters....made me laugh.

    The game takes the souls universe further ahead of what has been done to date, I can agree. Even if I think that a good souls is one with maybe a bit more closed environments than in an open world setting, for the sake of tension, forced confrontation and scale of grandeur (yes Legacy Dungeons provided me with this scale even more than connected maps that at the end of the day don't provide much to do in them).
    Technically, I ran the game on PS5 and can't say I had any problems besides rare occasional frame drops here and there but nothing that hindered my game really. Yes we can argue the whole thing holds on some PS3 graph engine era type of thing, but for me the artistic direction greatly suppress this impression and found that most environments were still good looking, although clearly not next gen. But nothing to be surprised of when considering press release material from latest previews.
    I would last finish on a word regarding difficulty. Yes the game is punishing. All the series is. Farming is necessary especially if you are new to this and lack the skills of advance players. But so is in any JRPGs as a matter of fact. Think you can take those difficult level bosses in FF7R without farming and materia farming? Nope, no can do! Think there is no farming in Persona 5 for high tier Personas? nah nah nah! so yeah the game is tough but I agree to the statement it is as tough as you want it to be really...plus the game in its current state is somewhat still a bit broken and allows for so many OP builds and permits so many exploits/cheats that any rough encounters can probably be assisted in someway with help from the community now...But then there is cheap tough. Ridiculous moments of cheapness that make you scream. But ultimately I found Returnal to be harder. But here's the difference. Returnal is pure skill related tough on a constant basis, while Elden is, yes of course skill related, but cheap because of obtuse and convoluted mechanics proper to the souls family, that for many of these mechanics would be strictly finger pointed at in any other licenses. Reference here to dueling mobs through walls vs bad collision detection problems, sickening camera..or awkward platforming sequences. but hey, the fans elevated those problems to respectful gameplay mechanics through the years so I guess you gotta get guud...

    So yeah, I still recommend as long as you know what you get yourself into, and preferably if you ain’t too much of the rage quitter type of player. But ultimately I truly believe a game like Returnal brought so much more in the media than Elden Ring did.

    The customisation is awesome, everyone's build is unique. I'm constantly discovering new things and mechanics. Despite the story being hard to follow, it definitely draws you in and keeps you hungry to advance and see what is around the corner.
    I definitely recommend this to the new players. Killing bosses after numerous attempts is the most satisfying feeling that I cannot completely explain. 10/10

I really liked AC: Odessey early game feature of defining next objective location by myself using mountains, rivers, cities as reference points (before upgrading drone-eagle). All ER exploration is about that. No need to rush through main story. If you see something interesting far away, then you should check it out. If you found new interesting weapon, then you should try it. Same for spells, armor and talismans. The game isn't for everyone, but everyone should give it a try.

I will keep coming back to this again and again as I always find something new each time I load up. The only reason I've given it a 9 and not a 10 is because the Path you need to take is a little confusing and can tend to end up in an area way to overpowered for your build. Other than that for £44.99 for the Launch Edition off Amazon it`s a steal. Expand

    B)Elden Rings story is NOT forced down your throat. u have to EARN IT.. u Need to explore.. read item descriptions and talk to every NPC u meet MANY times.. all these people that say it has no story.. ARE LAZY.. or CAN'T READ... PERIOD

    C) Elden Ring has NO EASY MODE... the game is HARD.. invest some time and GIT GUD!! just cuz your terrible at it.. or dont wanna try... does NOT make the game a Zero out of TEN

    Bottom line.. this game is a CLASSIC and worth its 95 rating. people that say other wise are not objectively looking at it.. they are just mad cuz their computer cant run it.. or They are terrible at it.. once again.. in 2022 people are LAZY

    THIS IS THE GAME OF THE YEAR FOLKS, so sit down.. TRY... and GIT GUD.. Elden ring is a MASTERPIECE

    The open world is well designed. Unlike other souls game where you entered a world from a hub, in elden ring you travel from place to place and experience the whole world.

    Another amazing game made by FromSoftware.
    Ans you feel like you actually have a reason to do ng+, from some quests you may have missed to replaying margit with your favorite gear. The bosses and hidden items and vast inventory make the game what it is now — a truly great game.

    Aprox 300h ingame this is by far an experience you must play and feel your emotions grow on your journey in The Lands Between. Still after 300h will admit I haven’t finished the main quests/storyline since you can explore and explore more area by area and I don’t know if you even can say that you can complete an area because this game is HUGE!

    In my opinion, Elden Ring has reinvented the RPG and open world genre. It has shown that single player and campaings matter and that they do in fact sell copies, contrary to what other developers have been pushing. It is a huge game, with amazing detail, it was properly tested, it was released with minimal amount of bugs and it has NO MICRO TRANSACTIONS. Elden Ring is the best game of last decade.

Elden Ring delivered exactly what I was looking for in a new IP open world Souls Borne game. An interesting story, a great setting, and most importantly, kick ass combat. Souls Borne combat has never been better with a massive amount of build variety and varying combat options with the addition of horseback battle, spirit ash summons, and weapon arts. The game is absolutely massive with hours and hours of interesting exploration and punishing but fair boss battles. In terms of critiques, Elden Ring does suffer from a large, unexpected difficulty spike in the last couple areas and multiple repeat bosses, but these minor gripes pale in comparison to the sheer amount of content and hours of fun offered in this game. My most memorable moment has to be finally pushing through an extremely difficult optional boss’s health pool only to discover an equally punishing second phase. This is one of the best games I have ever played and one of the few that I had a hard time putting down to get some needed sleep. Expand

    5 reasons

    Gameplay is wonderful.

    The game is beautiful. No matter what direction you look in you're greeted with a heavenly sight.

    There's a playstyle for everyone.

    It's a tad easier in my opinion than other the rest of Fromsoft games so if you're put off by ultra hard games then this I promise you isn't that bad.

    I promise you'll want to play this through more than once

Personally, this is one of the best games I ever played. Lastly, another thing people complain about - because they love complaining is the controls? For real? How wil the controls be better? I don't see or understand why that is an issue. Compared to most other games, this one is without a doubt a winner for those who love a challenge and an open world. Expand

Siento que es el primer juego de la saga que me ¨obliga¨, a subirme el stat de vida a un nivel alto, si no, muchísimos enemigos del late game y jefes te hacen oneshot con casi todo su arsenal.

    I’ve never touched a Fromsoft title before, and have long feared their purportedly oppressive difficulty (A thrashing on the first mission of Nioh 2 only deepened this fear). However, this game got me hooked, and I’m reassessing my feelings about the genre.
    Elden Ring is a wonderful game, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it. I think that it is not without its flaws, However, Fromsoft has been alright about fixing some of the mechanical issues, and the game is massive.

    First I’ll start off with the issues. The most obvious being that it is a hard game, there is an uneven distribution of difficulty currently, with an emphasis on some of the somewhat mindless duo boss fights. There are also very tough enemies in the open world that will surely obliterate you if you challenge them just out of the gates. Besides that a few bosses have already been nerfed, the open world nature of this game allows you to level in order to closer match the difficulty of encounters and areas to your own skill level.
    Next are frame rate and graphics. This game has nothing approaching revolutionary graphics, and its frame rate is prone to drops when encountering high numbers of enemies at once. However, the frame drops have not caused major issues undue damage or deaths in my play-through so far. In addition, despite the minor graphical upgrades from Dark Souls 3, Elden Ring still contains striking imagery using colors and visuals against the grey, war torn landscapes of the Lands Between to great effect, easily one of the most beautiful games in that regard.
    Lastly are the nitpicks, the enemy AI is not amazing, they are often tethered to a certain area, leading to awkward moments where they will be extremely reluctant pursue you past a very apparent point to an almost comical degree, as well once you’ve over leveled, some of the minidungeon bosses in the early game become totally trivialized, an unfortunate side effect of the way things run in the game. There is also a vague story, told mostly through small details, inferences, and snippets of dialogue from the occasional NPC. The Lands Between are ravaged by war and stagnation due to the Shattering, however it can occasionally feel quite empty of normalcy. As well, the game has a still evolving map, that as of right now makes it difficult to complete quests without the aid of fellow players via the internet.

    On the flip side, this game finally offers an answer to the “git gud” content wall in the form of the near total openness of the world and its leveling. If you’re lacking in skill (like me) you can use that to gain a few levels and even the playing field against bosses, summoning has a similar effect, but the game does make those optional to grant those Souls veterans the challenge they demand. The lore is quite interesting, and not all questions are answered, R. R. Martin has done well with the big picture lore elements here. As well, experiencing this world is uniquely interesting due to its lack of hand holding and fruitless repetitive fetch quests (other than acting as a courier between a few NPC’s once or twice, though the pace you do that is up to you in the end). The major zones feel unique and game shines where it counts, adding in loads of ambiance.
    While I recognize there is more to be asked here, I think that this game delivers a new degree of life to the Souls genre of games, and leaves me wanting more. I look forward to further patches, content, and other work surrounding this game and its universe. I would definitely highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a deep or difficult experience in an interesting world with fascinating lore.
    One of the best games in recent memory, and certainly one of my favorites.

It's a beautiful game, just go look up screenshots of in game game play and the environment. It runs near perfect in framerate mode. I'm almost 80 hours in and I would suspect I'm close I'm halfway done with the game. There's so much to it and so many secrets I take my time exploring every inch of the map. This game is so good and it already has been wishing it wouldn't end. The only reason I scored it a 9/10 is because of the multi-player. I can tell the developers want you to play this solo, but it so much fun playing with a buddy. The developers make it a hassle to play with each other and you constantly have to resummon a friend to keep playing. If you like harder game play and a game that potentially could take you 150 hours or more to beat while enjoying everything it has to offer, do yourself a favor and pick this up

    Running unto npcs has never been more surprising and each of the NPCs are so unique and different than one another. Although the questlines are difficult to complete without wiki help.


    Boss design is also tremendous and one of the best I have ever seen. Each boss has unique and different mechanics. Learning all of their moves and beating them feels really satisfying. Although sometimes it can be quite unforgiving.


    Lastly, don't trust all these negative reviews. They are trash fortnite gamers who never played a real video game or are jealous of Elden Ring. This game doesn't do hand holding and leave everything for you to figure it out and their low IQ cannot fathom it so here they come and rant out.

    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.
