    This is my first Souls game, and wow am I impressed. The visuals, the gameplay, are all perfect. Though it can be very challenging at times, I still enjoyed my struggles, and finally beating that boss I have been stuck on for hours. 9/10

    I would call Elden ring a marvelous masterpiece. For every plus there is a minus. For example: A large beautiful open world - most of it is empty spaces, fields. Incredible story bosses - boring, repetitive, and often they are generally ordinary mobs with a huge strip of HP. But still Elden ring remains one of my favorite games. And I will return to it again and again.

    It won game of the year for a reason. This game shows you whether or not you can push through adversity or that you crumble when things get rough. It’s not for everyone. Dying to a boss a few dozen times can drive you mad, but when you finally win it feels so good. You will die. You will get mad. But, victory feels so good.

With the ui and ux that image of "if ubisoft made elden rings ux" speaks for itself. All these negative reviews as well are worded as if the people played the game for a maximum of 2 hours and never again. Of course ui and controls are gonna be bad when you have not had the time to get used to them. Of course you have no idea where to go when you have yet to get in the loop of this games type of exploration. It just pains me, i honestly believe many of these people would love the game if they just gave it another chance but oh well, to each their own.… Expand

    This was one of the first soulsborne games I had ever finished, but it inspired me to try bloodborne, sekiro, and the dark souls games. This game was fantastic to its visuals to the boss fights. The only reason that it is not a ten out of ten is because there are a lot of copypasta bosses and enemies that are bosses early in the game

    Excellente DA, bonne musique, des combats de boss épic et un gameplay convaincant ! Ce jeu mérite son titre de GOTY 2022 et frôle la perfection.

    On remarque tout de même quelques lacunes (bug de collision, dégât de zone et IA à revoir) mais le résultat final fait le café et vous occupera pendant des heures et des heures. Une réussite !

    Each Souls game is better than the last, but Elden Ring takes it up to 11. If you're a fan of Souls games and want a grander experience, then this is an improvement in every way. The amount of quality in this game is jaw-dropping (that first time you take a certain elevator ...).

    Elden Ring's open world and bosses may come across differently to players depending on what they're used to. The exploration is some of the best in any open world game I've played.

The exploration is some of the best in any open world game I've played. While the scale of this aspect may be overwhelming at first, it's a rewarding experience that also makes the game more accessible, without skimping FromSoftware veterans on the staples they've com to expect from the Soulsborne series.

    My one criticism is the difficulty spike in the back half of the game, which can make it feel like the clock is has been turned back on your leveling progress. Late game enemies and bosses have much higher damage output compared to previous Souls titles. It puts the game in this weird place where on New Game (or "Journey" 1 as they call it), the first half of the game feels well balanced, and the second half is tough as nails. When you get to NG+, the first half of the game feels too easy, but the second half feels closer to the way you would've wanted it to feel on your first playthrough. My only wish is that they had ironed out this balance a bit more, so that the game's difficulty had a smother progression instead of starting off slow and then flooring it halfway in.

    Despite it flaws, this is probably one of my favorite games I've ever played. There's quite a lot to unpack and it's best enjoyed without rushing in or having expectations of what you're going to get out of it. Everyone's experience is going to be different. If you don't like spending time trying to figure out obscure clues to access the secret areas and bosses this game has to offer, there's nothing wrong with looking up a guide here and there (and in some cases it's quite necessary). For longtime players of FromSoftware's games this will more than likely be a treat, and for players new to Soulslike games this one is a great introduction with a lot of fun to be had.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing game with a lot of variety in builds, tons of exploration and a gorgeous world. However, this game has some issues which prevent me from giving it a score higher than an 8.

    -Bosses are insanely aggressive and feel like they are faster than the overall pace of the game, with some relying on frustrating mechanics to add difficulty, with the most noticeable being the blatant input reading whenever you drink a potion. The bosses are balanced with summons in mind which is why I believe they have the very aggressive playstyle, But most people in the souls community don't like using summons as it is not as satisfying defeating a boss them. So for the game to balance boss encounters around them doesn't feel that great.

    -You are unable to open the map while in combat, which is frustrating because it takes a while before you are out of combat. An enemy can hit you once and keep you in combat for 25 seconds even after you travel far away. For those who look at the map a lot to want to know where they're going, they will find this quite annoying.

    Other than the 2 things I listed above, the game is great everywhere else whether its the combat, exploration, etc. Definitely a must play if you enjoy the Soulsborne genre.    … Expand

    Elden Ring's a masterpiece, and he's mastered the art of showing without telling. As a result, it's very different from other open world games I've played, such as Skyrim and Far Cry, which are narrative and quest driven. The Elden Ring doesn't impose any particular play style or route into you from the getgo.

    Très très bon jeu.
    Je regrette cependant l'absence de mécanique comme le fait de pouvoir looter directement les énémis un peu à la morrowind et le manque d'interaction avec l'environnement.
    Malgré, c'est point mineures, le jeu est exceptionnel.

    The open world was very beautiful. The main bosses are all very interesting for the most part. The balancing on some of the late game bosses, however, were just awful.

    Elden ring's massive amount of content provides one of the best and lengthiest experiences available in gaming. Though sadly without a search engine, alot of the most impressive spectacles will be missed by a gamer playing it blind (the right way to play these games), but when you do occasionally find something incredible, it feels amazing.

    Duo bosses are way to common and are not properly designed to work well with each other(the godskin duo is the best example for this)
    And a lot of bosses just have way to much going on in their moveset which leads to me not feeling like i'm fighting a cool ancient warrior but a magical unicorn that farts rainbows
    But not only are the bosses some of the worst of all from Software soulslike games but also its unique aspect (the open world) just isn't good
    The open world is filled from Top to bottom with items, enemys and sometimes bosses but sadly the items are for the most part awful , the game gives you no good reason to care about the enemys (you can easily ignore them because you're faster than them and they give nearly no runes so killing them isn't worth it) and the bosses in this aren't good enough to be something exciting to look forward to
    This game also has a lot of cool weapons Would be a shame if the game wouldn't give you enough resources to level up and use those weapons And i know you can buy as much Upgrade materials as you like but sadly to be able to do that you first have to find multiple hard to find items and then also have an insane amount of runes to get the needed materials
    Also this game has some pretty crazy difficulty spikes which i found to be rather annoying This game could have easily been a 10/10 but instead they failed to give the game what it needed in to many aspects    … Expand

    Hard to put down why this game was so good for me. Suffice to say I usually manage one play through of the best single player games, but for Elden Ring I ended up doing 5 runs across 4 character classes across about 250 hours. A key part of it is the fairness of the game. You could, if you were good enough, complete the game without levelling your character at all.

Suffice to say I usually manage one play through of the best single player games, but for Elden Ring I ended up doing 5 runs across 4 character classes across about 250 hours. A key part of it is the fairness of the game. You could, if you were good enough, complete the game without levelling your character at all. There's only one difficulty setting, which I love as It really creates a sense of community with other players. Similarly there are no random loot drops or similar, instead every weapon and every character is exactly where the game designers intended. It is hard, particularly at the outset whilst you figure things out, but that is seriously mitigated by the open world design - if you can't beat a boss or area there will be an area where your skill level matches the enemies where you can level up. But crucially all of the content is so consistently good that this doesn't feel like grinding but exploring and making your character stronger. And the reward for stretching yourself is real with powerful items stashed away in the areas you are scared to tread. The combat mechanics have a beautiful and brutal precision. I saw one reviewer desribe later boss battles like a dance and that feels right. I had a misspent youth in various Muay Thai and boxing gyms and this style of combat appeals to me so much more than the button smooshing, mob exploding experience of some games. I would fall asleep at night with my mind racing through how to improve my build with a very fair and interesting system. The story is opaque and strange, more of a imprint of past events which you uncover fragments of as you explore. You can play without multiplayer entirely and the game will be wonderful but when you do start using it there is a subtle but genuine sense of shared joy in the movements and actions of fellow players. There are no microtransactions. You feel as if the content and experience are utterly paramount to the game designers and producers. In a world where the board room permeates the texture of so many games the sheer authenticity and purity of Elden Ring is an absolute joy.… Expand

Some of the bosses were definitely too hard for me, but you can call upon some helpful players to assist you, or in some cases do it for you. I summoned one online helper who used a sorcery that burst a magical beam at the boss for like 8 seconds and it died instantly. But, if you managed to overcome a boss yourself, there is a great sense of achievement. The open world has an interesting design and (mostly) makes you want to explore. Unless you wanna make a B-line to the end. There’s also so many different ways you can play the game - whack stuff with a big sword, use magic and more. And there’s so many unique weapons to make ‘builds’ out of.

    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.
