    I have always struggled and gave very quickly on soulslike games but Elden Ring changed everything for me.If you are still one of those please try again and stick to it until the end it will be an amazing experience and you will become a fan.

    Greatest adventure the medium has ever seen. Nobody has reached the pantheon that the art design and world-building in Elden Ring has reached — and do not expect anyone to come close soon. Glory to Hidetaka Miyazaki’s FromSoftware.

    It is a perfect game. Fun, challenging, gorgeous, a massive map, pacing is excellent, and the open world has no restrictions.

    Es el juego perfecto con unos gráficos absolutos y perfectos, con una jugabilidad y dificultad increíbles y perfectamente balanceadas. Un mapa enorme duplicado de forma subterránea pero al mismo tiempo totalmente diferente, con una cantidad de objetos maravillosa y un Lore sencillamente perfecto

    This is the perfection of fantasy gaming. It was my first Fromsoft game and still my favorite! Incredible worldbuilding, characters, and gameplay! Hard but balanced — except for that super difficult boss at the end of the tutorial!

    The game is extremely rushed and full of issues which lets the good sides down. For example the Ps5 version still hasn't even got vibration support!

Instead they will patch a rune glitch which is slower then killing a bird then resetting at a site of grace. PvP in this game is terrible compared to every single other souls game. The ashes of war are extremely unbalanced. It's so easy just to win by doing something completely broken. Summoning has completely killed the game for me. Instead of them being a slight boost to distract the boss for a couple seconds so you can quickly sort yourself out. Instead they grab the bosses agro for ages so you can get half their health down if not more and have little to no risk while doing so?! Because the bosses are built around this mechanicthey are a mess if you don't use them. The open world map was amazing and some of the best work from software has done but the enemies are just copy and pasted several times you get sick of seeing the same ones. Even most of the bosses are just regular enemies with a health bar at the bottom of the screen! Including the same health. You get rats and countless other enemies in some places which have 100 HP and a rat in another place with 1000 with the exact same texture! Why didn't they change the texture to match the environment and then change its health so it feels more consistent. This is across the hole game. Within the 1st couple zones you would have already thought more or less everything with a few exceptions. It's just gonna be different health bars from then on. The story isn't bad. The lore is easier to follow in Elden Ring. I thought the fingers looked cringe thou. Faith has seen a huge upgrade making faith builds actually more viable.
    There is a ton of spells to choose from aswell. Ashes of war seem like a good idea but in practice I think it would have been better if they had a few weapons with a set ash of war that you can't change. That way the weapon would be balanced around it. If you can throw it on anything you get broken weapons that are far to op. All in all Elden Ring would have been good if it wasn't rushed out the door. And they didn't have summoning.

    The best souls-like game out there. It's perfect for the hardcore fans and for those who just want to hang out in a souls-like world and feel what it's like to play those kind of games. I'm saying this because this game is NOT HARD. You can create your own challenge, but at the same time you can just create mage, use summoning and game will because much easier.

    Suffered for about 40 hours before I gave up on mindless wandering, repetitive bosses, and clunky, frustrating combat dynamics. Perhaps I needed to revise my build, or maybe try a different gameplay style but I decided it wasn't worth my time. Deleted and moving on. Happier for it.

    The high critic score is a case study in what happens when hype builds for so long. Similarly with all these 10/10 ratings. More and more people simply cannot think for themselves.

    The high critic score is a case study in what happens when hype builds for so long. Similarly with all these 10/10 ratings. More and more people simply cannot think for themselves.

    This is arguably the worst soulslike game (better than DS2). The open world is large, but lifeless. The exploration can be good, and really does shine when you come across legacy dungeons, but the open world is such a waste of time. The bosses are a smidge better than those of DS2, but there are so many with so few having high quality. The delayed attacks are so frequent it makes fighting jarring. Not difficult, just jarring and lacking in rhythm.

    I've platinumed Bloodborne, Sekiro, DS3, and DS2 (and completed DeS and DS1)...this is my least favourite by far. Though I can see how on an objective level it's superior to DS2.

    Have never played a Souls game before. Elden Ring is one of the best games I've ever played, full stop. Incredibly difficult/challenging, but rarely unfair. An insane and gorgeous open world dense with lore -- worth every minute of exploration. I've put nearly 300 hours into ER, and can't wait to play more.

    While the world certainly is well thought out and beautifully designed, the game is poorly optimised.

    You cant take one step without running into any sorts of pop ups or frame drops at some points. (luckily the frame rate drops have almost completely been solved by now)
    Nethertheless the game does not care a **** about telling you where to go or what to do, so that you will be stranded in this gigantic world without a clue on where to go, which will then result in countless deaths due to you running into enemies which are way to overpowered.
    And once you find the right NPC to move on, you will be met with a cryptic information dump, which cant be processed quick enough, so that you will almost certainly end up on Youtube trying to figure out what the F to do.
    In my over 80 hours with this game I have only been able to kill the first five story bosses. 80 HOURS!
    And I am not even counting all the time used to look up things on the internet related to this game.
    I don‘t want to spend the little time I have left of the day being torn in half over and over again by a boss, which took me an additional 3 hours to find.
    The overall gameplay loop just consists of running around trying to level up, getting side tracked and finding a random side boss and finally trying to kill named boss for the next few attempts of dying, respawning, running back (whilst being constantly annoyed by regular enemies on the way) and then being killed by the boss again.
    For anybody who hasn‘t anything to do and has 200+ hours of free time: This is your game.
    Otherwise I can not recommend buying Elden Ring.
    Yes, the story is certainly great, the boss designs are cool, but it all comes down to the same frustrating same gameplay loop. Overall not a great game.
    If you do still consider buying a other Souls Game get Demons Souls Remake, it is way better without the open world aspect.
    And one last thing: This isn‘t meant to be personal in any kind of way. If you like Elden Ring its cool to me, but please try to accept my opinion on the game aswell.

    I'm frankly pretty surprised how widely acclaimed this game is. The huge world is devoid of anything interesting other than battles, the score is terrible other than a few standout bossfights and in the open world score is often bad enough to become actually grating, and there's nothing resembling the faintest bit of interesting story or lore here as there are no concepts in it fleshed outI'm frankly pretty surprised how widely acclaimed this game is. The huge world is devoid of anything interesting other than battles, the score is terrible other than a few standout bossfights and in the open world score is often bad enough to become actually grating, and there's nothing resembling the faintest bit of interesting story or lore here as there are no concepts in it fleshed out enough or given enough background to be even vaguely compelling.

    The combat, though it is wonderfully varied in the way you can approach it, in practice ends up becoming fairly tedious b/c the game is challenging enough that you don't really have time for experimentation/exploration (unless you can stand a lot of repetition), you just need to optimize a build and some builds (particularly magic) are spammy and repetitive. And again b/c of the annoying repetition that comes with wandering around and dying, you end up having to look things up to get sufficient tools to make meaningfully progress to actually open up the places you can go. Thus having such a large open world becomes fairly meaningless as the joy from exploration is sucked out of it.

    On the one hand the open world and and leveling system with diverse possibilities and the very impressive variety of enemies and environments is very attractive and makes me want to like the game, and has driven me enough to spend some 50 hours with it and at times really enjoy the experience (mostly when I was able to explore without dying constantly and the world was still new). But on the other the above detractors end up adding up to a rather drab experience overall where I feel like I'm running around without much interesting to do. Compared with say Skyrim which has rich possibilities to explore the world outside of combat with a sensational score to go along with it, playing games like this just feel fairly empty.

    But I guess they have a large audience. Sadly it seems I'm just not one of them.

I would have loved to see more of its lore, and experience more of the game, but with my poor motor skills and working memory it's simply not possible.

    I know this was not made for gamers like me. It was made clear to me early on. But I wish it had a mode that did. I want to experience more of Elden Ring and I can't, and it's very frustrating.

Also exploration is awarded by weapons, lore and more content. There is also arguments saying that the game of the year is undeserved but i disagree with this statement as even though i agree that god of war: Ragnarök was amazing, elden ring surpassed in combat, exploration and storytelling.

Al principio sólo quería seguir explorando ya que era muy divertido, no obstante el juego recicla enemigos y jefes haciendo que muchos combates de jefes no se sientan tan memorables y a veces haciendolos monótonos. Tambien tuvo problemas en su salida a pc ya que muchas personas no pudieron disfrutarlo por estar mal optimizado, aunque es verdad que ya lo arreglaron y actualmente se puede jugar muy bien en pc, no deja de ser un error que tuvo en su salida. Mi conclusión de elden ring sería que es un mundo abierto ambicioso que buscaba ser lo más grande y lleno posible, pero acabo siendo un juego que le sobran muchas horas debido a lo repetitivo que se vuelve a medida que avanzas en el juego. Aunque no cabe duda que dentro de unos años muchas compañías de videojuegos intentarán copiar el éxito de elden ring en un intento de lograr lo que este consiguió. Lo que demuestra la influencia que tendrá de unos años. El juego está lejos de ser perfecto pero aún así lo recomiendo bastante tanto para fans de la saga como jugadores novatos. Expand

    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.

Now lets begin by noting how half of the people who bought the game were misled by false advertisement & paid reviewers. Sadly I'm one of those that were fooled. The souls genre has existed for quite sometime and I never bothered with it since its not my type of game but when elden ring came out the whole "reviewers community" heralded it as the second coming of christ saying it was something truly innovative and never before seen. Just like how these people lied to us about cyberpunk 2077, gow ragnarok or Hogwarts legacy they did the same with elden ring. Elden ring is by no means an "Open World rpg". That'd be witcher 3 and skyrim. This outdated piece of junk is not that. Its very much dark souls 4 with a few new bosses and multiple recycled mini bosses spread out on an open field. So less linear but not open world since "open world" means a world that's lived in, has many activities and elaborate side quests and has NPC hubs like towns and villages. Meanwhile elden ring's map is more like a battlefield with moments of respite. The graphics and gameplay is straight outta 2010 and its unbelievable how these critics didn't talk about all these reused bosses & animations from previous souls games and the god awful graphics that belong in the ps3 era. The only pretty thing in the game is the skybox and hence different skyboxes are used to mask the ugliness of the game's graphics. The gameplay is not half as good as bloodborne which is a game i liked for its aesthetic & freshness back when it released. Not to mention the artificial difficulty it has that makes the game quite hard at the start and the only way to get better is to grind for runes and memorize the bosses' 10 hit combo attacks with input reading and delayed attacks lol.

    Unlike other games there is no story at all. And if you tell this to souls fanboys they'll ask you to read descriptions and notes. This is not good storytelling. There isn't a quest log where you track your quests and apparently that's really innovative. I can't mention a single thing that this game does well and i still can't fathom how it won multiple awards. But i guess that's what happens when all other games released in the year were also mediocre. I'd take any of the recent bloated assassin's creed games over this trash any day of the week. With that being said i enjoyed a few of the main bosses and helping other players online to beat them.

    Un perfecto Dark Souls en mundo abierto. El Lore es espectacular, acompañado de una banda sonora perfecta y muchos bosses. En cuanto a la dificultad, depende de cómo armes a tu personaje y de lo que farmees.

    Souls game with 0 story. When you drop in a game you dont know were to go or what to do. So 1 strike could kill you...
    Must watch youtube to know what to do step by step...
    Hate souls games...

    One of the best games I have ever played. I'm 70 hours in and I cant recommend it enough. Sure, the first couple of hours was a bit slow, since you dont really know where you should go, but soon you understand where to gi and what to do. The difficulty is hard, but not brutally hard, most of the game is easier than DS and Sekiro. If you dont like DS you wont like this game, but if you loveOne of the best games I have ever played.

If you dont like DS you wont like this game, but if you love DS you Will have an absolute blast playing this game! The map is huge, theres so many different enemies, caves, bosses and so on. Doesnt matter which way you travel, you Will find something interesting there! If 11/10 was an option, this game would have earned it. Game of the Year without a doubt.

    Edit: I have played over 300 hours and completed the game 3 times. And it Just keeps on getting better and better! Btw my "game of the year guaranteed" statement aged well dont you think?

    elden ring is a very good game, I would say one of the best that has ever existed
    yes it can be a difficult game but that does not mean it is bad, it is a game that tests you, if you get frustrated try it again until you succeed I highly recommend it

    What i don't really get about all these low ratings here is how someone can buy a soulslike and complain about it's soulslike-style. Elden Ring is a soulslike in an open world. And while this is its biggest strength it seems to turn out as its achilles heel as well.

    I just can't get on with Elden Ring. Not sure the soul's formula really works as an open world game. It's also a technical mess on PS5 (over a year since launch). Bloodbourne was the high point of this genre for me. I keep going back the Elden Ring and I just don't see why this is as highly rated as it is.

    Buyer beware: if you have no experience with this genre whatsoever nor enjoy games that give you the keys to figure it out, you won't enjoy this game, maybe at all.

    This is truly a masterpiece of a video game and one of the best open worlds you'll find around. From art direction to combat to player option, The Lands Between is your oyster. All things surrounding the story, gameplay, side missions and pacing are perfect.

    My only knock on this otherwise perfect experience is anything dealing with online play (co-op, duels, arenas) is a serious headache that isn't at all seamless. It would have been nice to play with a friend who was struggling or is new to Souls and not spend additional time trying to summon or gathering Erdleaf flowers to simply link up. For 2023 standards, it's a below average multiplayer experience. Also take into account current gen loading time discrepancies steep if two people aren't on the 5/X. Unfortunately, it's noticeable enough to dock an entire point.

From memory, after 2 playthroughs I had poured 260+ hours into the game. My only complaint is that, because I became so addicted to it, I never want to play it again - 9/10.

There is only so much a person can take doing the same thing over and over again and getting zero results.

    first of, this is my first souls game ever. I always been interested mainly because of the art and bizarre vibe where nothing is like you think it should. But the main thing that kept me away is the degree of difficulty.

    first of, this is my first souls game ever. I always been interested mainly because of the art and bizarre vibe where nothing is like you think it should. But the main thing that kept me away is the degree of difficulty.
    I play a lot of games, always solo. All from big AAA to smaller indie games and I have nothing against a challenge but I am not the one that want to repeat the same boss over and over and learn the exact the movement pattern like a rhythm game. I want my adventure and then move to the next one, don´t have time to become the best for a specific game when three more waiting to be played.

    But with all that said I felt that I needed to test this one and I loved it! Sure I had to level up like a madman to get through some bosses but still, I loved the exploration, to never know what strange thing waiting around the next corner. It ended up that I visited the whole damn map and probably did most things you could do. So here comes some pros and cons..

    + Few open world games can really surprise me and want me to explore. Before it was probably only zelda breath of the wild that gave me the same tension. so this is super rare. Not like all the copy paste games ala ubisoft where you know almost exactly whats up around the next corner even in a newly area.
    + the twisted art direction. Sure its not the latest high tech materials and vfx but the art direction is super unique and thats more important then shiny god of war tiled materials.
    + So much love put into areas thats not on the main story line. Areas that is super easy for the player to miss.

    - online mode. Yeah I know this is the one of the main thing about the game, but I turned it off directly. To see other players jump around,, glowing messages all over the world and so on ruined the loneliness and the vulnerability vibe, I want this to be only mine adventure. But easy fix, just turn it of. Sure, you will miss all the hints buts its up to you to explore even more now.
    - A bit flat NPC:s. Just standing there and say their lines and then not so much more. Would prefer a bit more complex ones, moving around, doing their thing.

    The author says he doesn't play the game himself! Your IQ is being insulted!

    If you don't use ashes of war, don't use additional vials, the difficulty of the bosses is unreasonable, the bosses has too much blood and increases unnecessary difficulty. All bosses play the same way, that is to roll in 0.x seconds before he drops the knife, which only increases fatigue and has no fun.

This game is not that. If you’ve played any of the dark souls, you know a little bit of what to expect. The lore/story is never explained directly; instead the enemies and NPCs you encounter all contain a little of the narrative, like little story biscuits that you have to digest in your own way, and absorb the overall narrative through item descriptions and short exposé. It’s a different method of game design to be sure, but just because your brain is too small to appreciate it doesn’t mean it’s bad. Not every game has to be AC Valhalla or Far Cry 5. The combat is brutal, sure, but that’s the point. You have to find a way to overcome challenging enemies. The world is varied and absolutely massive to explore, sometimes the long cave with the vicious mini-boss doesn’t yield worthwhile loot, but the real loot is the triumph itself. This experience isn’t exactly for everybody, but to say that it’s a 0/10 is extremely dishonest. Even if it’s not your cup of tea, it has to be at least a 5. 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.

    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.
