    This games amazing! Been getting lost in its open world aspect leveling up and finding random stuff. It’s such a great time. If you like FromSoft games, you know what you’re getting here and this one is the best they’ve done yet! Ok ok maybe not as good as sekiro, but I haven’t finished it yet so we’ll see. 10/10
    If you’re struggling in the beginning I’d recommend you Git Gud

You look a bit in a random zone and oh look, and completely optional dungeon for you to explore!), and bad graphics (really? The texture are pretty good, but the art direction is amazing. The overworks looks fantastic). Overall, you should probably listen to the actually reviewers for once and understand that the people giving it a 0 because it doesn’t run at 900 fps at are exaggerating. Pc player with a mid range pc here btw, never once felt like a death was caused by a random lag spike in 10 hours of playtime. Only criticism I have is that mouse and keyboard controls suck and that you’re better off with a controller.… Expand

    Absolute masterpiece. I'm only 30 hours in and absolutely delighted with the world they created.

    The only flaw I see? This game needs a warning on its cover: "not another ubi-like game" No, seriously, I'm so tired of games that constantly hold my hand and treat me like I'm a child. Unlike FarCry, Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima, Assassins Creed and others, Elden Ring trust its players.    Absolute masterpiece.

    No, seriously, I'm so tired of games that constantly hold my hand and treat me like I'm a child. Unlike FarCry, Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima, Assassins Creed and others, Elden Ring trust its players. Here you get to truly explore a world in ruins. It's a beautiful and mysterious land. You see a castle far away? An abandoned house? A cavern entrance? Maybe go take a look. And be sure you'll find a location that is so unique it doesn't need question marks or a compass pointing to it.

    Same for the non-player characters and their quests. They also feel unique and tailored to be memorable. Not the traditional "fetch x pieces of wood", "kill x boars" nonsense you see anywhere else. This game respects your time.

    What to say about the combat? Deep and strategic, simply put. Again, if you face your enemies like you would have done in Assassins Creed you're in for a world of pain and frustration. Combat in Elden Ring is all about observing, learning and committing to each and every action you perform. Take for instance Tree Sentinel. Bastard demolished me for at least two hours, but I eventually killed him, though not before I learned his attacks (and took some good rest so my brain could absorb what I learned). And that's how it was meant to be. Tree Sentinel is now a satisfying memory of a challenge I overcame. See you again in NG+ my friend.

    Sadly this game is not for everyone, and it's fine. Just know what you are getting in before you buy it.    … Expand

    Sometimes all you need to do, is just get good with the in-game mechanic. This is the first open-world souls game, with various vistas and corner to explore which will rewards you (or punished you) in a unexpectable way. A word of warning though, it's extremely addictive and challenging so make sure you only ventured in it in your free time.

I have completed most character side quests and have beat almost every major boss in the game but I can't wait to explore the Lands Between all over again with a new build in new game plus. Exploring the world of Elden Ring has been such a blast. The game is absolutely massive without feeling empty. I couldn't go five minutes without finding something cool or interesting in the world. The environmental design and art direction for every area, npc, armor, weapon, spell, and boss is outstanding. The lore and story of Elden Ring always peeked my interest and made me want to look through every item description to learn more about the world. There are some very memorable side quests and moments that I don't think I will ever forget. Some of the bosses in Elden Ring are among the best I've ever fought. Nearly everything about Elden Ring feels handcrafted to perfection. The only problems I have with the game are that there are a lot of repeat bosses and many bosses or enemies have extremely hard to dodge attacks that insta kill anyone with a low enough vigor. Also the game has some problems that are hard to avoid due to its scale, like how its hard to know how to continue a side quest without a guide and some of the repeat bosses feel poorly placed. But these problems are relatively small because the rest of the game is genuinely amazing. Overall, I think Elden Ring might be my favorite game of all time but I need some more time to fully decide that. Also anyone who is new or hasn't played a soulsborne game should play try Elden Ring before other soulsborne games due to the massive access ability the game lends to players. But one thing that is for sure is I will definitely be picking up every fromsoftware title I haven't played yet (Dark Souls 1-3 and Sekiro) and I will be getting the platinum trophy for Elden Ring.

    Elden ring might be the most beautiful and detailed game world I've ever seen. Everytime I thought I saw all it has to offer I tuned a corner or went down a long elevator to a whole new area spanning out into the distance that I had no idea was even there. You can tell the world is hand crafted and not procedurally assisted by a computer program. Every little thing seems to have it's placeElden ring might be the most beautiful and detailed game world I've ever seen. Everytime I thought I saw all it has to offer I tuned a corner or went down a long elevator to a whole new area spanning out into the distance that I had no idea was even there. You can tell the world is hand crafted and not procedurally assisted by a computer program. Every little thing seems to have it's place and you don't see a lot of repeating assets or structures, everything was designed and put in place with a specific intention. It's the same amazing quality with the open world encounters, they all feel unique and each one feels new, not like most open worlds that have their world filled to the brim with cut n paste instances of the same 5 or 6 mission types and a map filled with quest icons leaving nothing as a surprise as to where and what you'll find. Fromsoftware deserves praise of the highest order for this masterpiece, I've never played anything quite like it. It's a souls fans dream come true the way this game was made, secrets everywhere that most people will miss and never even know was there without looking up a guide. Tons of enemy types, hugely varied environments that manage to blend perfectly, tons of bosses and mini bosses, super addictive progression mechanics like usual for them, it's a challenging game that doesn't hold your hand. It makes you earn your progress and earn secrets, it doesn't just hand it to you with a checklist of chores to do that takes you there. I dont use this word lightly but this game IS a masterpiece . Nothing is perfect but this is as close to perfection that I've seen in my 3+ decades of gaming and at this point it's probably the all around best game Ive ever played. Btw, FromSoftware, you guys are f Gods and all developers should model their games after yours. New gamers, If you want your hand held through everything, do not buy this, but if you want a rewarding experience that may be tough and frustrating at first but if you stick with it you will be rewarded far more than you can imagine and understand why the hype from the cult fanbase is so rapid and this dev is becoming so popular and loved. Like in the matrix, no one can be told what souls fandom is, you have to see it for yourself and it must be experienced to understand. If you make it through any of their games you'll likely be a convert for life and know why no one wants big shanges to cator to a wider audience. If I can play these games anyone can.… Expand

    It is extremely rare in a sand box game to actually make you want to explore EVERY inch of a map after over 30 hours of playing I am still going over every hill, around every corner off the beaten path searching for everything and anything as this game rewards you for exploring in ways games by ubisoft or even breathe of the wild didn't do. The combat/difficulty of some bosses yes willIt is extremely rare in a sand box game to actually make you want to explore EVERY inch of a map after over 30 hours of playing I am still going over every hill, around every corner off the beaten path searching for everything and anything as this game rewards you for exploring in ways games by ubisoft or even breathe of the wild didn't do. The combat/difficulty of some bosses yes will cause you to be frustrated, have you turn around and continue your quest in another direction till you come back and get that sweet satisfaction of victory after levelling and memorizing a bosses move sets, that's just part of the game. No, not for everyone but if you're at the start of the game and feeling stuck and frustrated I urge you to grind out a few levels (just go explore guaranteed you've missed a lot) and keep at it, the games difficulty steeply plateaus out after the first boss as you get the hang of not panic dodging and this game absolutely just takes you away. Few games suck you in to the world like this one anymore and that's all without lengthy huge cinematic pieces that spoon feed you all the gaming storylines. Is a ten score a bit of an exaggeration? Maybe and ONLY due to minor graphical stuttering I've experienced but with the amount of people reviewing this game poorly simply due to their inability to learn how to play this game I feel good about bumping this from a 9 to a 10 since we all know games just come out a little rough at the start. There is nothing in the core game that needs to be fixed, just some smoothing out of some bugs and we have a masterpiece on our hands.… Expand

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

    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.
