    This is my first ever souls game I have ever had the will to play. I played DS, DS2, and DS3 for like an hour and stopped because I just felt like those games weren't made for me.

I played DS, DS2, and DS3 for like an hour and stopped because I just felt like those games weren't made for me. Years later this gem drops and I have to be honest, I haven't been hooked on a game like this since Monster Hunter: World. This game is phenomenal, scary, beautiful, stressing, breathtaking, but most importantly.... FUN, which is something not a lot of games have nowadays. The world is expansive and so incredibly detailed. The weapons and armor look sick and the combat is really good, it kinda makes you want to master it since that is what the game is all about, fighting giant bosses. The target lock on camera can get a bit annoying if there are multiple enemies in an area but that's mostly a me type of thing. I have been playing for 55 hours so far and it feels like I haven't even scratched the surface of this game and I really don't want it to end. I really enjoy this game and I feel like this is perfect for newcomers like myself to jump in and lose yourself in the vast world of Elden Ring. It may look a little intimidating at first, but that is part of the challenge. That's what makes this game FUN, the challenge. That momentous feeling after killing Margit or Godrick or even the tree sentinel really gives you an indescribable sense of accomplishment, redemption and pride. Then you keep going, you're getting better, stronger, wiser, and more skilled and to me that alone really makes this game so FUN to me. This game has set a standard and I really do believe that this is my GOTY. I love you God of War: Ragnarok, but this game has really blown my mind.

    Incredibly well made game. Never have i ever enjoyed exploring as much as i did in this game. Finally a map with not a single icon on it, you start with an empty map, whatever you explore gets added to the map. The online mode is also incredibly fun. Deserves all the perfect scores it got.

I can understand that it might not be the game for everyone, especially if you don't enjoy exploring, but a lot of the reviews just seemed unfairly negative.

    I've played all the Dark Souls games minus Sekiro, and I believe Elden Ring is more than worth the hype that it's been given. It has these amazingly designed difficult bosses and less run-back time thanks to the Marika Statues that act as checkpoints. On top of that the world is absolutely breathtaking, not because the graphics are particularly amazing but because of how the world itself is designed and its artistic direction.

    The best part about Elden Ring is that if a specific boss feels too hard there are tons of ways to make it easier if you're struggling. You can summon a plethora of different kinds of summons or you can summon some people online to help you with a boss. In addition, if you don't want to do either of those, you can just go to a castle off in the distance, a cave or ruins marked on your map, or just let whimsy take you. This exploration when you get stuck on a boss you feel underleveled for helps alleviate some of that rage you built up from bashing your head against it over and over again.

    Either way, there are some minor flaws in this game, but I just feel that nearly all the design decisions for Elden Ring were amazing. I currently have about 180 hours into the game, and I'll probably put double that in before I put the game down for a break.    … Expand

    In general there is no joy to the game at all. The emotional arc of every sequence is "grind, grind, grind, omg I finally beat it". Good for masochists, narrow and painful for anyone else. On the plus side, marketing department clearly did a great job here.    … Expand

    More troll cheese from the devs, some baffling unbalanced bosses, etc.

    If you liked the previous entries in the de facto serial franchise.. you might like this one... just don't expect anything beyond what came before.

    The worst part is that this is a full price, supposedly AAA, game and the graphics look like they're from 7 years ago, the PC performance is inexcusably bad and LOCKED TO 60 FPS. The menus are still a mess to navigate.

Sekiro and Bloodborne were their best games, and those games were difficulty done right. No matter how much of a tank you're, everything in haligtree and snowy mountaintops will 2 shot you. Enemies and bosses are designed to attack you as soon as you hit square to heal, crucible Knights will just stand there do nothing but as soon as you press R1 their hitting animation will start and they'll hit you first, it's just designed to F you over. I sound like a broken record but the game is difficult just to F with the player. It's unfair, you get gank boss fights in every corner of the game, they went back to dark souls 2 days where they put 500 enemies in one room and they call that fair difficulty. Godskin duo!?? Really!!? Seems like they ran out of time and were like "aha! Let's put these 2 bosses in one room and call it a new boss, oh also. Let's make them self revive". Also, this game shat on the face of every STR player , by making every strength weapons scale with either INT or FAI. Even if you get one of these heavy weapons, it'll be absolutely useless, because every late game boss is gonna be 100 times faster than you, rendering your STR build useless. Btw I can't wait to see this review on r/Eldenring since they're a bunch of crybabies that don't let people criticise their god miyazaki or they'll post these reviews on there.… Expand

    - At times, solutions to roadblocks are so left-field it's near impossible without community hints.
    - Takes a solid 20-30 hours before progress feels fluid.

    Why the 9?
    - Best open world combat to date. You'll likely replay the entire game to try a different combat style.
    - It's huge. 250+ hours and I'm only now getting around to beating it.
    - Hard, but not as hard as other Souls games. You can get OP fast if it's your intention.
    - Secrets galore. The world is littered with breadcrumbs to sidetrack you in the best way possible.
    - Risk/Reward is balanced. When it's "too much", you're probably in the right place at the wrong time.
    - True gaming glory. No doubt you die a lot, but victories have never felt more fun and meaningful.

This game is a mix between the tightly crafted and rewarding challenging Souls formula we've come to know and love and a sprawling open world with secrets and discoveries everywhere. I was afraid this would break the mostly-linear design of From Software's previous classic entries but it only strengthens it in my book, adding an entirely new layer and showing a natural evolution to the formula.

    You're let go almost instantly, with only a general pointer in the direction of the main story, but you'll quickly learn that rushing the bosses will be a grueling and punishing feat, encouraging exploration. While From Software, for some reason or another, still struggle with confusing UI and menu navigation for newcomers, this game is more beginner-friendly than ever before.

    No more is the solution to encountering a hard boss to just keep trying again and again for hours. Now you can do something else. Empower your weapons, get significant new abilities and ashes and much much more, but most importantly: gain experience. There are also a ton of different playstyles available of different difficulties, so while there might now be a difficulty slider, the player can choose differing paths to get an easier or harder time with the game.

    The story is pretty obscure, so unless you're willing to read and read and explore every corner of the world, don't expect to get a clear cut picture of the world you're in. My other main gripe would be the horrible performance on consoles especially and all PC players daring to put the motion blur on.    … Expand

    A lot of enemies and bosses are reskins from previous games, same goes for the players character animations. In a lot of cases not only animations but entire models are simply copied from previous games (giant crabs etc).

    Mechanically game is identical to any soulsborne game, meaning controls (especially for keyboard & mouse) are inconvenient for 2022. UI is horrendous.
    Main bosses are forgettable and the world even tho it is open, feels empty or meaningless. Extremely large MMO buildings and areas - aka. exaggerated just for the sense of awe while inside is usually just an empty box. Soulsbourne cryptic type npcs work in linear games where you will meet them no matter what - these quest types are not fit an open world scenario.
    Music is uninspiring.
    Its an overhyped game with a horrible PC port.    … Expand

    So glad i got to be born in a time to experience this masterpiece, makes all the bad stuff going on around the worth truly bare-able. Although FromSoft had had a good track record, i was low key afraid that it would not live up to the hype due to the sheer amount of hype surrounding it, but FromSoft knocked it out of the park and more yet again with this one.

    Un mot resume bien le jeu : immersif. La carte est immense et suffisamment riche pour que on qu'on aille, on est récompensés par des objets, ou tout simplement du contenu type une base d'ennemis, un donjon ou carrément un boss.

    You can sometimes spend several hours on a single non-boss enemy, whereas you would kill a boss in a few minutes. And that makes it very frustrating.

    A Warning for Newcomers expect a game that is hard and seems unfair if you dont understand mechanics. Dont play it with Keyboard and Mouse a Controller is Mandatory.

They are mad that they have to actually explore the game world and find things for themselves instead of just opening the map and choosing 1 out of the 100 repetative fetch quests or "go climb this" to reveal even more repetative fetch/collect quests. I can GUARANTEE that the people who are giving this a bad review raged quit at the first main boss because this is their first souls born game and have zero patience and skill to overcome anything thats actually a challenge. Once they died maybe 5 to 6 times they broke their tv and came to review bomb the game while breathing heavly and slaming on their keyboard keys. This isn't an "inbetween" game, you either loved dark souls or you hated it, and those who loved it will praise the game because they actually know what the hell they are talking about and those that have never played a souls game and claim they have been playing since demon souls are full of **** and are giving this game a bad review because this game wasn't for them in the first place and ALL souls games have ALWAYS been know for their extreme difficulty.

This is because the game feels easier, with many battles being optional and the open world allowing for stealth approaches, so it’s more welcoming to people who aren’t diehard fans like myself. The open world definitely makes this the most accessible of all the games, and the way they drop you into the open world with minimal guidance or objectives is very cool. The game forces you to explore which is a pleasure because the world is beautiful. I also like how they encourage natural exploration and curiosity unlike other open world games which flood your minimap with 20 different icons. The game really shines in the aesthetic design of the world and it really feels like it captures the dark fantasy theme, especially the color palettes - the first area has the green colored skies and the golden colored clouds, it almost looks like a metal album cover. The world really is visually stunning, and with each additional section of the map that you uncover, you begin to realize how vast and varying the environments are. The game has interesting lore, but the very spread out story and lack of opportunities to learn more about the lore just make it a visual experience. Even the rare NPC that yoy come across doesn’t really offer anything of interest. The graphics are good, and really add to the intrigue of the world. While it is beautiful and has interesting lore sprinkled throughout, it feels like a bit of a boring world. It’s big, it’s empty, the enemies are randomly scattered throughout, but there isn’t much substance there beyond the visuals. There are few random NPCs, and if you find any, usually it’s one person standing in the middle of nowhere. I do love the aesthetics of the world, unfortunately it’s just a bit of an uninteresting world because it’s rather empty and the lore is way too spread out. The sound is terrible - limited music, repetitive sound effects, generic ambient noise, it’s almost necessary to listen to a podcast or music when you play this game. One thing I always hated about the Souls games was the controls, and there are no different here. It always feels like it’s lacking any fluidity and it feels very rigid, and I don’t understand the praise Souls fans give these robotic motions. Even the button combinations are very confusing - even after ten hours of gameplay I still do the incorrect input during the heat of battle. The AI is also brick stupid, enemies will stop in their tracks to look at you, and if you step back, they just continue following their assigned path. The only major issue I had with the game was that it explains so little, I felt that I had to spend way too much time on Google figuring out how to do something simple like equip a spell. The entire game has a long learning curve - I didn’t care for the first 5 hours of the game at all, but when it clicked with me, I started enjoying it.

    All in all, I enjoyed the game more than any of the other Souls games, and I generally disliked most of the others. Adding the open world to the Souls formula was a necessary change to capture a wider audience like myself. I’m hoping future Souls games keep the open world. While the game is nowhere near as good as Breath of the Wild, it does replicate similar feelings of exploration, which I don’t think many games have captured. It’s a good game with a lot to offer, but to call this a perfect game is simply inaccurate. It’s big, it’s beautiful, it’s empty, and it’s clunky.

    EDIT: I left my same review up but increased the score from a 7 to an 8. It finally clicked with me. Still not worthy of anywhere near the 97 critic score, but it’s a great game. The bread and butter of the game is its ability to sow natural curiosity and exploration.

    EDIT 2: I have never revised an interview once, let alone twice, but I felt compelled to increase the score from an 8 to a 9. The learning curve is brutal, but once it clicks, it’s fantastic. The world is much larger than I initially expected, and I want to continue seeing what more there is, especially since I know I’m nowhere near halfway through the game. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll ever give it a 10, the narrative is weak, I still find the controls to be cumbersome, I still find the world to be a little too empty. But this game really did blow me away.    … Expand

This is not a game for everyone, if you dont like the soulsbourne series this game might not be for you, these games are obscure by design but if you find that difficult and irritating I would recommend you to look up a beginners guide on youtube and    This might be my favorite game of all time,

This is not a game for everyone, if you dont like the soulsbourne series this game might not be for you, these games are obscure by design but if you find that difficult and irritating I would recommend you to look up a beginners guide on youtube and you might just start to enjoy these games.

    This is not a game where you follow mindlessly a waypoint and get everything spoonfed to you, the game goes out of its way to hide its content. You are activly exploring and looking for clues and the game does an excelent job leaving breadcrumbs for the player to follow and this makes uncovering said content very rewarding. Here is one of many examples:

    At the time of writing I uncoverd a huge underground dungeon in an area I had already been through, I just went back to kill an optional boss, looked around for a bit, saw an item i could not reach, went looking for the way to said item and ended up finding a huge area hidden away.
    You are in other words really rewarded if you are a curious player and somewhat of a detective. The world is beautiful with awesome music.
    When I was nearing demigod nr. 3 I stopped to enjoy the view and the gorgeous music for a while.

    This is truly a masterpice and I hope people whom are not into the difficult and obscure games of From Software will give this a chance. The difficulty of these games are really the learning phase, but once you get the hang of them they are not a joy!

    The difficulty gives you a fealing of dread when you are venturing into the unknown, embrace it.

Instead of crowding the UI with unnecessary stuffs it lets you enjoy the beautiful world they created.

    It’s awesome, big and perfect. 140 hours still lot to explore and discover. Being open world it allows players to have more scopes around tougher areas.

    It’s addicting and yes it’s challenging. You need to put some hours in this game and explore the world to level up your character and the game gets better and better the longer you play.

    This was my first soulslike game and all I can say is that it was mind-blowing. Yes, it was tough, but it was also accessible. The challenge never seemed impossible for the pure reason that I could just go somewhere else and come back again later. There's so much freedom and this is the first time that I have found an open world to actually be rewarding.

    As close to a 10/10 game as I’ve played in years, I never liked Dark Souls as it seemed needlessly hard but I really wanted to give this game a try. I came in to the game with the mindset that there would be pain and death and to learn from it, and I am loving it. The size, scope and attention to detail in this world is truly incredible, you can run in any direction and run in to somethingAs close to a 10/10 game as I’ve played in years, I never liked Dark Souls as it seemed needlessly hard but I really wanted to give this game a try.

The size, scope and attention to detail in this world is truly incredible, you can run in any direction and run in to something incredible. It is tough, challenging, dark and downright infuriating at times, and it is a bloody masterpiece. I have barely scratched the surface of this game, and it has been a long time since a game has captured my imagination the way elden ring has.… Expand

    I steered away from the Souls series for a long time despite the beautiful graphics and design, on account of the brutal reputation for difficulty they had. For this game, the marketing said that this game would finally be accessible to the average player.

For this game, the marketing said that this game would finally be accessible to the average player.

    That was a deliberate and sadistic bold faced lie through and through. I have played a fair distance into the game and put up with many challenges, but eventually there comes a point that expecting the player to have millisecond reaction timing to overcome superly one sided fights is absolutely disgusting in terms of the gameplay design. The pacing of the levelling up is terrible after the beginner areas. The distances between the save points to the hardest areas of the game are unnecessarily long. Bosses and challenge opponents will suddenly have unbalanced countering range and abilities that are unavailable to the player.

    Overall, this game is a bait and switch for making content accessible to the wider audience. I agree with the many reviews on here that it entirely does not deserve the 10 out of 10 praise that so many are giving it. I acknowledge that so much of the content was beautifully created, but so much of it is locked behind a rage wall of gameplay.

    Do not waste your money on a console version. There are beautiful designs and content to enjoy, but it would probably be done better on PC in order to install mods to level the playing field as long as you don't care about multiplayer.    … Expand

    I have waited patiently for the next game from FROMSOFT, but especially this one being a Dark Souls game in an open world. This game has not disappointed in the least, rather has exceeded ever expectation. It is an enormous game and it is a world filled with amazing bosses, NPCs, enemies, spells and wonders at every turn. It is worth your time and your money. You won’t regret it.

    Не любил соулс игры, но решил всё таки попробывать эиу игру, т.к. люблю играть в открытый мир и в итоге не могу оторваться от игры Молодцы!

    Developers do not know how to balance the game whatsoever. Boss battles are often unfair, and really spammy.

    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.
