    I have beaten every souls game prior to this one. I love the series, and I am happy with difficulty. But this game breaks the cardinal rule of the From Software design philosophy up until this point.

But this game breaks the cardinal rule of the From Software design philosophy up until this point. In any previous game, when you lost, that loss would be fair, and something you could have seen coming, and worked your way around if you had been more tactical. That is the joy of the souls games. Improving. Not just getting stronger, but getting smarter.

    This game doesn't do that. It simply hates you. There are bosses that are literally invisible unless you have a specific torch from a vendor halfway across the world map. There are bosses that can kill you in a single hit, even if you have maximum health and the heaviest armor the game allows. There are enemies that will swarm you and take turns attacking you so that you are locked in a pattern of stuns from which you can't escape. There are enemies with their backs turned that are programmed to get up and charge you even if you are invisible.

    Previous games operated on the rule that if you lost, it had to be fair. You had to have done something wrong in order to fail. In this game, you lose simply because of a coin flip. Or because the game was programmed with a pit fall that you had no way to predict. Or even worse, that breaks the pre-established rules the game set up.

    This game breaks its own rules, and does it just to screw up the player.

    Elden Ring.

    Hates you.    … Expand

    Has to be a finalist for Game of The Year. Beautiful open world with plenty to do and great bosses that you can grind to beat. The best souls like game of all time. The challenge of the game is part of the fun. The weapons are amazing and the overall game is the best of the year so far.

I also play a lot of racing games and use to play multiplayer games in my high school days but now that it's hard for me and my friends to find a good time to link up so now it’s more rare for me to get into a multiplayer game. Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of coursed influenced by my personal opinions.

    (8)Very Good. Innovative, but perhaps not the right choice for everyone. This score indicates that there are many good things to be had, but arguably so.

    So I have tried to play Dark Souls Two, and Dark Souls Three but didn't get too far. I would lose interest in the Story because you had to hunt for the information. I did beat Bloodborne though even though you had to hunt for the story in that one too. I enjoyed the combat more in Bloodborne which is probably why I ended up finishing it. I ended up trying Elden Rings since people where saying they were changing up the formula and making it more open and exploratory. I still dislike hunting for the story and I felt like the open world hurt the series more than there previous formula. I enjoyed figuring out a zone and clearing it in the past games and just felt clueless on what I'm suppose to do in this game. I would YouTube it to figure out the story expecting more only to be disappointed. I've learned that this just isn't one of my genre of games. I want to experience a story and not go on a treasure hunt. I see why others like it but it's not for me.    … Expand

    the only open world game of 2022 that deserves to be played unfortunately day one it had a lot of bugs on ps5, loss of data, framerate, boss that bugs and no online for some players on ps5 as well as Xbox but unfortunately the best place is on Xbox serie X, the game is improving even if it still has a little bug but less framerate bug but still present...

    The game is absolutely great. Open world experience, amount of content , bosses, difficulty , combat , graphics all of them are perfect. But the caves , dungeons, catacombs are just a copy paste. Even the bosses in there are the same. If they weren't boring I would give a 10

    These are some of my thoughts as someone who doesn’t play a lot of games. When I first started I really did not like this. I’m a very “casual gamer” who is used to narrative heavy games like RDR2, AC Valhalla, Horizon, etc. I thought “Where’s my quest log? What am I supposed to do? Why is the first boss I face this gigantic sentinel?” It wasn’t until I realized “Hey dummy, just run pastThese are some of my thoughts as someone who doesn’t play a lot of games.

What am I supposed to do? Why is the first boss I face this gigantic sentinel?” It wasn’t until I realized “Hey dummy, just run past the sentinel. Go explore and find out what you’re supposed to do” that I really started to appreciate this game. There’s very little hand holding here. At first I felt this was to the games detriment however after figuring out some of the mechanics and focusing on leveling up my build properly (I was trying to put runes into a little bit of everything at the beginning) I started to appreciate how special this game is. It’s kind of like putting together a puzzle without a reference picture. Yeah it’ll be challenging but give it time, find the corner pieces and start making the boarder. I’m about 35 hours into the game and am not close to being done. However as the game progresses my enjoyment has continued to increase. The games bosses can be tough but fair. And if you can’t beat them right away go and get more runes to level up. From what I have gathered there’s no penalty to holding off on fighting bosses. I’ve had a great time playing Elden Ring. Overall I’d say 9/10 is a fair assessment. It is close to a 10/10 however I do think the developers could have added a journal or log of some kind for all of the little side quests and NPCs you meet. There’s a ton and I found it super easy to forget about quest lines. You can use map markers but NPCs will bounce around the map sometimes. If you struggled at the beginning of this game like me I’d say go back and have another try. Really commit to a specific build. Find a weapon you really like and upgrade it early. If you’re stuck or don’t know where to start seek out the community online! There’s a ton of great resources out there that are designed to help newcomers like us.… Expand

    Having never beaten a souls like game before, I can proudly say I beat this one and enjoyed every minute of it. A great introduction to the souls like genre without sacrificing the infamous difficulty level. I would reccomend this to anyone looking for a challenge and satisfaction overcoming the many paths you will take.

I know a lot of players truly love the mechanics of figuring out how to defeat a tough boss, and this game will surely hit the mark for them. For me, and those that really enjoy exploring an open world with some tension lingering to make the exploration process more alluring. This game crushes that joy of exploration. Explore a little, encounter a mob that takes a long, repetitive effort to defeat, explore a little more, then spend a long tine trying to defeat the next mob. It saps all the fun and joy out of exploration. I have purchased From After playing this game for awhile, I am revising my score from a 3, to a 10. It took me awhile to get the hang of character development and advancement … but once I did, Elden Ring has quickly become my favorite game of all times.

    Elden Ring might go down as one of the most ambitious games of the decades.

Taking the already successful dark souls formula and expanding it to such a large scale was perhaps the riskiest move fromsoft could have attempted, however, it really paid off. Not only is the map about 5 times bigger than anyone imagined, it also is filled with enough content to justify the scale. The combat is taken and slightly refined from the previous fromsoft games, making it smooth and engaging. The bosses in this game rival some of the best from the dark souls 3 and bloodborne dlcs, each with their own unique dynamics and fighting styles. The game starts out so strongly and just continues to improve the farther you get in. There is always something off the beaten path, whether it be a cave or something else, which makes sidetracking and exploring worthwhile. The legacy dungeons as well are finely constructed and flow well with the rest of the open world, providing a nice balance between the two sections. While there are a few complaints to be levied at the game, such as certain bosses being bs or certain sections which just aren't fun, but ultimately these pale in comparison to the quality of the rest of the game. The main problem that I do think is apparent in the game is its lack of replayability. While this isn't a problem for most people since they won't play the game beyond their first time, for those who want to play again they'll likely notice that the game doesn't hold as much magic. This isn't to say it is not great, the legacy dungeons and the bosses are still a lot of fun on repeat runs but the traveling and the side content grows stale the second time around. However, this still in my opinion doesn't take away the fact that fromsoft created perhaps the best open-world game of all time and something which may change the industry for years to come. Elden ring should serve as an example for developers just what they can do if they are passionate about their craft and are dedicated first and foremost to creating an interesting experience for the players… Expand

    misions like all ubisoft games. Just rotten and dead open world.Moreover it is surrended by many exciting mysteries also until 70 hours it does not repeat itself. And every mysterious place in this game have a worthy reward at the end. As a result it lures your exploration desire.Another important thing about this game is rpg elements.You can express yourself in every way for instance if you want to create a paladin of erdtree you can or a ice mage. In my opinion every item in this game has been created very smoothly and cool I spent my 10 hours to find every outfit. Final important point about this game is boss designs and design of open world first of all this game has many bosses some of them is similar but others is designed very marvelous as melenia she is one of the hardest boss in the game and I love her design and splash art if I mention difficulty of bosses. Very few of them is pretty hard others have very understandable patterns and not diffucult to find out.And most important thing for me is the world design this game gived me admiration every time ı stepped into another place.First time I went to capital(an area ın game)ı sat down and watched the sight. As a result I took 100 pictures untill the end and every of them is a work of art I loved them.Now It is time to talk about cons. In my opinion side missions questlines in this game is very hard to solve ı could've never done those if I hadn't searched on youtube. another thing is memorability of bosses let me explain. In sekiro I fought with well designed bosses like second form of owl or the last boss and every of them have left an unforgottable mark on me but elden ring couldnt have done that ( except malenia my love) All in all I recommend this game to every gamer especially who wants to starts souls games.    … Expand

    The game of the decade? Certainly. Why ? The call of adventure in the face of a world that speaks only with its ruins and its fragments of stories. A game where the characters are not generic and a game that does not seek to please everyone but only those who love video games as a whole.

Nessun punto della mappa è uguale ad un altro, i nemici hanno tutti un peso nella trama, ogni cosa ha un perché, il design è straordinario sia per mostri che per ambientazione. Unica nota dolente del titolo è il lato tecnico, non è un titolo next gen, ma con un comparto artistico del genere non pesa proprio per nulla. In conclusione, per chi non è avvezzo ai souls questo potrebbe essere un buon punto di partenza, essendo più semplice dei precedenti giochi From, ed avendo un open world ammaliante, per chi invece è avvezzo, questo titolo è un vero parco giochi, una evoluzione straordinaria che la saga meritava!… Expand

I felt excitement at new weapons and spells and armor and talismans. I felt disappointment at recycled enemies and dungeons. I felt absolute dread at the forward directions of games they're going to release at many of the boss fights. As such Elden Ring has to have some of the lowest low points of any souls game, even lower than pre-SOFTS DS2.
    I've played these games since Dark Souls 1, and played every entry, and I'm confident in saying its the worst entry. This comes about not because the game is bad overall, but because where the game is bad it's atrocious.

    positives of the game: the open world is gorgeous and huge, the ashes of war system is brilliant and adds a great deal of variety, the art direction has never been better only being out by bloodborne in my opinion, the story feels more present and well written, there is a lot of stuff to do, inclusion of duplicating remembrances is convenient, bell bearings are also super convenient, theres more emphasis on elucidating some of the games more opaque features than in previous games

    negatives of the game: endgame bosses don't feel like they've been playtested, poor balancing of many things like endgame areas, dungeons outside of the legacy dungeons feel very hastily thrown together and cut and paste, horseback mechanics (which were a big part of the marketing) feel like an afterthought that was glued on after most of the game, drop rates are very abysmally low , spirit ashes don't feel like they were well balanced, platforming still feels like an afterthought, graphical performance leaves something to be desired, the tediousness of some side dungeons make them super easy to skip on subsequent playthroughs, there's very little incentive to collect great runes because they offer nothing if you don't use a rune arc (despite the fact that the item description misleads the player into thinking it does), enemy variety plummets significantly after the capital, item crafting seems half thought out and becomes irrelevant late game, many enemies feel like they were designed with sekiro in mind but were just ported into elden ring, still glitchy in areas that should have been ironed out by now

    Elden Ring is basically Dark Souls 4, for better and for worse, with every step forward in design there seem to be two steps back, for a game described as being more RPG oriented and more open world it feels like much of it is still oriented very much around the combat, which in itself isn't bad, but even the combat has changed for the worse. ultimately many promises were brought with the game and some of them just were not fulfilled. an open world of untold proportions was promised, and for the first three zones it is, but the late game areas become increasingly empty and bland, the horse combat was promised to be new and fun but it seems so poorly optimized its hard to imagine it wasn't just tacked on at the end. Difficulty is incredibly schizophrenic. Boss fights in the late game seem poorly designed and become less challenging battles and more of tests of patience for when their year long combos will end. all in all more of the same and different in the worst ways.

    A good game marred with incredibly low lows, but a good game for people who are more about the souls-like brand. an incredibly polarized game for an incredibly polarized age.

    TLDR: not the worst game in the world, not the best    … Expand

    By far the worst souls game ever made, the open world is extremely boring and full of copy+paste content. There is no fun way to traverse the open world.

The boring empty open world is filled with wannabe pokemon summons called spirit ashe summons, you like collecting pokemons in your souls games? I don't.

    The best game that came out the last 4 or so years after Breath of the Wild by my opinion. The game has so many things to do. Also, the gameplay is incredibly improved and contains the best elements from all the games. Definitely recommend it.

    However, the easier difficulty of the game, because of the more forgiving pace, can be an intimidation for veterans.

    I don't want to start like many people by saying that I'm a veteran of the "Souls" games, but I am. I bought this game only when I had the time to really enjoy it. After a first few hours a bit stressful in which you get the mechanics the game became a delight, just what everyone says. But this relationship was broken after 70 hours, when you reach the final stretch of the game. ThatI don't want to start like many people by saying that I'm a veteran of the "Souls" games, but I am.

But this relationship was broken after 70 hours, when you reach the final stretch of the game. That friend you think you know changes and shows his true nature. The game gives way to despair with enemies and areas completely unbalanced. No matter if you have gone slowly and exploring, as in my case, you are not able to defeat any boss without throwing away hours. Sickening stuff. The game is in its final stretch completely unbalanced. Unless you play with a specific class and build it is impossible to advance naturally. What's worse, you stop caring about the story and stop appreciating its amazing design. A pity after all those good times I had at the beginning. It's impossible for me to recommend such a thing to anyone. Have all those who call it game of the year really passed the game?… Expand

    This is stunning. From a map that is unlike you ever seen to challenging and fun enemys. A great story that is worth exploring and a fantastic soundtrack.

Tot en aquest món està cobert de misteri, tot sembla que busqui despertar la teva curiositat, és increïble com aconsegueix mantenir-te donant voltes sense un objectiu clar i que tot i així no decaigui l'interès del jugador en cap moment. La quantitat d'opcions i alternatives per fer front als enemics és inmensa i serà difícil que no trobis un estil de joc en el que et sentis còmode, aquesta és una altre de les millores respecte d'altres entregues, tens mil opcions per adaptar el joc al teu gust, i això pot arribar a ser realment gratificant. Per tots aquells que tinguin por de la dificultat, tinc bones notícies, el joc es exigent, però per primera vegada a la saga, si simplement explores i millores l'equipament i el nivell (cosa que succeïx de manera natural) pots fer front a tots els enemics d'una forma bastant senzilla.

    Dialogues and unique and super epic story
    Many users do not know the value of this work of art. This work is considered a revolution in the video game industry and it is the creator of a new style of Souls games, which is a combination of Souls, dark fantasy, and open world, or rpg.
    I can't really say what else to describe this masterpiece. I can say with certainty that I have played at least 80% of all the games in the gaming world that have been released for PC and PS, and among all of them, I have never seen anything like this, even in Red. Dead Redemption 2, GTAV, Witcher 3, and Horizon, which we all know are among the best in the open world and have a lot of graphics and art in terms of the map and game world, I think this game could have gotten a higher score from the critics if it had better graphics. Because the critics have always proven that they value games with high graphics even if they are not good games and they magnify them for no reason, and this is exactly the only problem with this game. Besides all the beauties of this game, there is only one problem. It is also thisLike the story games that I don't want to name and they don't have a long and interesting story and only focus on their graphics, it couldn't focus only on the graphics, the only problem with this game is that it couldn't raise the graphics like the other graphic games of this generation. I think he is right because all the graphic games of the new generation, which I won't name because of their fans, used copies and everywhere in the game world is like this, but Alden Ring has put a new adventure in all the points of the game and He made the whole game world with high details, he didn't just copy a plain or forest or the previous area and change its details a little and call the game open world, like many open world games that do exactly the same thing and have no content. There is no goodness in their world, and this is something that the creators of Elden Ring have focused on instead of giving gamers a garbage world with only high graphics.

    I can however understand the frustration of casual gamers, this kind of game is not for everyone.
    it requires the pleasure of persevering, the pleasure of learning and improving yourself through the struggle and the unknown.

    A "great" game can gather most people's opinion, but a "masterpiece" can sometime divide.

    I will conclude by saying this. This game has so mush love put into it, it has a soul... and the emotion you feel as you struggle in this world will give you one of the most satisfying feeling you will ever have in a video game after succeeding.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. wow......what a game.....I used to have a few problems with it  but after spending 160 hours on my first playthrough, and then 140 hours on my second, I can say for certain that this is my favorite game of all time, I can hardly think of any real flaws with the game. I have played every other souls game including sekiro, and I personally think elden ring was the best so far. it has the best exploration, the best areas, the best area variety, best build variety, best enemy variety, the best visuals/graphics, best voice acting and imo the best bosses of the souls series. alot of people say the bosses were the wirst in elden ring, but I couldn't disagree more, I thought the bosses were so much more fulfilling and memorable, they were super challenging as well, they're some of the longest, most cinematic, most spectacular, most challenging bosses fromsoft has ever designed, and I do not agree with any of the "BS difficulty" arguments, (besides elden stars for elden beast, that is nearly impossible to dodge, though its damage isn't much, the boss can do 60 other attacks at the same time, luckily he rarely uses it) malenias waterfowl has many ways to dodge it, just harder than most attacks, her healing is not a problem at all either, it just encourages you to not get hit, she is my favorite boss of all time. other great bosses were maliketh, fortissax, placidusax, godfrey, radahn, godrick, morgott, renalla, mohg, rykard, and the final boss. I even enjoyed the bosses that most people hate, like the fire giant, godskin duo, and commander niall (believe it or not, theres alot of people that like those bosses) even the mini bosses that were reskinned enemies were still better than most other bosses in open world games like breath of the wild. I even thought the dragon fights were really cool, fighting a giant fire breathing dragon in a giant lake flying all over the place in the night sky is something everyone should experience. and the soundtrack for this game is simply fantastic. the legacy dungeons in this game are amazing, it is worth playing this game to experience stormveil and leyndell alone, and even the open world areas are all fantastic, I even thought the worst one, the snow area, was very enjoyable.
    the cave and catacomb mini dungeons aren't as good, but I still enjoyed most of them, and they're still better than most open world mini dungeons the build variety is amazing, I already have 20 different builds I want to try out. the NPC's and their questlines and endings are some of the best they've ever been (sekiro still has the best endings though imo) people often complain about the reused assets, but it was actually a really good thing, since more resources were able to be used to make the nee things in the game, though I will admit, maybe haveing some more unique animations would have been cool, but it doesn't ruin the game for me at all.
    the traversal is great, torrent is a really good mount, and the art direction is breath taking in this game, the colors pop so much and everything in the game looks like a painting. the guard counter is a great addition that not everyone will use, and the ash of war system is a fantastic idea, the spirit summons are really cool, but sadly people will only gravitate to the super strong summons, rather than the cooler/cuter ones like the soldjars. people do think that the game gets worse at the end, but I thought it only got better. this game is truly a bang for your buck, you can spend so much time in the game and keep anjoying it and replaying it, and I sure the DLC will truly elavate the game by alot (every other fromsoft DLC has been 10x better than the base game) this is GOTY for sure, everyone and their grandma is playing it, it's one of the most innovative open world games yet, it's definitely a must play, but not everyone will enjoy it due to its difficulty and vague nature, so be warned.    … Expand

    The best game I've played in years. You can feel the freedom as you explore the vast world. Combat is flawless! 1000 / 1000.

    I always avoid soul's like games because I hate to get stressed playing but since sekiro I started to love these games. Elden ring is marvelous, great storytelling, design and soundtrack. The difficult is not a thing since you can go to another places to strength your character and go back to that boss to kick his ass. I just miss the possibility to reset the weapon stats to strength another.

    Elden Ring é muito mais que um Dark Souls 4. Ele é a experiência definitiva do gênero Souls Like, trazendo todos os feedbacks da comunidade e ampliando consideravelmente tudo que já vimos antes. Não se trata de um jogo com dificuldade abusiva e estressante, apesar disso é sim desafiador. Ainda mais se levarmos em conta a quantidade extraordinária de chefes que estão no jogo.

I have been playing for 25 hours and have only begun to scratch the surface. The artist direction is phenomenal. All of the new mechanics and quality of life improvements that fromsoft has added are welcome additions! Do NOT be fooled by the bad reviews. These are people that are upset that it has yet to be optimized as well for PC. Yes, it does run into problems on PC at times. This does not make it anything less than what it is. The developers are aware of the problem and are working on a patch. Japanese games are often less optimized on PC.

    This game is definitely more accessible than other souls titles but still expect it to be very challenging at the least, and at most VERY difficult.I still recommend this game to anyone who loves great action or JRPGs, as you would be hard pressed to find a better game in those categories.    … Expand

    Open world that isn't dead, full of different enemies and bossess, sure, some are repited, but still, there is a huge variety of bosses, each one with different mechanics that you have to adapt to. Full of cool NPC's and amazing quest lines. The gamimg disign is great overall. Full of memoral bosses anda landscapes. Defnletly worth checking out.

    It's just not for me. Couldn't even play it. Really this game is designed for people that have played and already like From Soft games. The designers really didn't care about any other gamer demographic. This didn't surprise me tho.

So this time I knew to not buy Elden Ring and instead try playing a copy a friend of mine bought. Really glad I didn't get it. To make matters worse, the fan base tends to attract really toxic behavior. Say anything about struggling to learn or play the game or it's design and you get a plethora of toxic attacks. That's not fun. That's not what gaming is about in my opinion. Be warned… Expand

    Je n'avais jamais jouer à un soul auparavant. Malgré que j'aime beaucoup le style Nioh pour la mécanique du jeu et la possibilité d'acquérir de la connaissance via les différentes lectures. Elding ring est une aventure rendant définitivement gloire à l'illustre thématique dongeons et dragons de mon enfance. Lorsque nous parcourions les livres et imaginions les créatures les plus effrayantes les unes des autres.

    Elden ring demande une certaine étude de la mécanique. C'est un titre offrant une tonne de possibilités de buff. Pourtant, même bien occulté dans le titre même, c'est important de visionner les différents tutoriels offert par les youtubeurs. C'est le meilleur titre RPG jamais offert dans un totre de ce genre. Félicitations aux concepteurs. La preuve que la validité d'un titre créer pour les joueurs est possibles. Et cela, sans arnaque ou pay to win. Merci From Software.

    Elding ring est bien élaboré. J'avoue vraiment m'y avoir intéressé après avoir accomplis l'histoire de Final Fantasy Origins et Ghost Wire Tokyo. La difficulté est très présente par contre, les nombreuses aide sur youtube sont d'une grande utilité. N'étant qu'au niveau 50 dans le début avec le fameau Katana de météorite, cela fait vraiment une différence dans ma confiance vis à vis l'environnement. Je découvre qu'une immense mécanique est possible via le build du protangoniste. Sky is the limit comme dit le dicton. J'aime particulièrement le design et la modélisation des créatures fictives qui sont assez imposantes à ce stade de l'aventure. Pour avoir pré-commandé le jeu, je remarque une mise à jour importante côté graphisme sur la PS5. Le jeu est fluide dans l'animation et on a moins l'impression que le gazon dans l'exemple du début pousse soudainement. La rapidité et la gesture du protagoniste se voit évoluer et on en ressent l'évolution lorsque l'on monte de niveau. C'est encourageant et agréable de vouloir poursuivre. Je pense que ce titre est un exemple typique d'un Golden Game où il n'y a aucune micro-transactions, aucun pay to win et une reconnaissance de l'exploration. La table du jeu me fait penser un peu à Reckonning où chaque territoire était different avec des créatures fictives differentes. Je trouve ça réussi et ça me plaît de m'accorder du temps pour m'évader dans le monde audacieux de Elding Ring. En terminant, je pense que l'exemple d'un titre comme Elding Ring est un exemple gagnant et lucratif pour les consommateurs d'expérience vidéo-ludique. En respectant le consommateur dans son achat dans l'entièreté de satisfaction sans vouloir y inclure des micro-transactions, PTW ou prochainement des NFT.

    A mi-chemin de l'histoire, chaque paysage est unique. Le bestiaire est propre au paysage. Je réitère. J'apprécie beaucoup la richess de cette expérience vidéo-ludique car le le shema est vraisemblablement comme The Reckonning. Un jeu sous-coté à l'expérience unique. Je ne co.prend pas pourquoi des gens ont basher. Ce type de titre d'expérience vidéo-ludique devraient intéresser les gens fans des souls, got, médiévale, RPG (pour ma part).

    Si un fans de titre de course ne s'interessant pas a ce genre de titre. En quoi la valeur de sa crotique en vaut-elle? Peut-être créer un nouvel façon d'étudier la valeur de la critique des gens en référence avec un preuve a l'appuis ou un minimum de vérification que la personne s'y ait vraiment intéressé ?

    Finalement terminé ! Après plus de 300 heures de jeu. Platine. 1er fois, sans savoirrj 'ai fait l'âge de du chaos. En 2ieme l'âge de la mort et finalement l'âge des étoiles. Merci à tous ceux m'ayant aidé à battre les boss difficiles. In plaisir à apprendre des érudits du jeu sur youtube et Google comme consultation.    … Expand

    Masterpiece. Hands down.
    Technically not my first souls game, only had played Demon’s Souls, and I couldn’t enjoy dying al the time on the same spot, so I dropped it very early Demon’s Souls. Elden Ring is different, open world that can have beginners, medium and hard areas, so you can get the hang of it slowly. Excellent game, super fun, freedom to do whatever you want, builds, create    Masterpiece. Hands down.

    Way too big and boss quality varies wildly. Crypt dungeons are clearly from soft trolling. Most later game bosses are just poorly done.

    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.
