    Best game I have ever played, by far. Endless, rewarding and addictive. It`s hard, yes. If you want an easy open world "tell you everything, go left here, go straight there" game, go for Ass's Creed, this one might not be for you. It's more of a journey, not a race.

    Elden ring has truly taken me in its firm grip. I don't even remember the last time a video game has had that effect on me. Maybe Skyrim but that's besides the point.

The open world works incredibly well and the game never loses that which makes a souls game great. Elden ring can be extremely difficult but so rewarding. And if you get frustrated it's easy to go do something else. Controls feel like dark souls 3 and that's a good thing in my opinion. If I have to find some negative aspect, the dungeons can feel a bit repetitive. All in all, I would say this very well could be a game of the decade. Easy 10/10.… Expand

It takes a lot longer but far more rewarding in my opinion. I’m 100 hours in and still haven’t seen the entire map.

    An absolute masterpiece. FromSoftware's magnum opus.

    While the lack of questline handholding may be offputting for some players, it forces you to engage in the story to solve puzzles and experience the grandeur to its fullest.

Elden Ring at it's best is an incredible action RPG that does not forget what roleplaying means. You can start the game as whoever you want, and that doesn't restrict who you can become in any way. Quest-lines give you choice in a way not seen in the dark souls series prior. The open world is non-restrictive and the land is intricately connected to the lore and the history that has been built to give you an idea of the care and detail that has been built for this game. The lore and the world have been so intertwined that learning something about the lore will 9 times out of 10 add to your ability to play the game. The difficulty and freedom, however, are not for everybody. This means that many of the characteristics that are purposefully part of the game may be seen as bad, or aversive to many who don't click with the gameplay, freedom, or storytelling. Although everyone's likes and dislikes are valid, this does mean that this game is not for all audiences. This is perfectly ok though, as it does not take away from what has been accomplished in the release of this game.… Expand

    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.

    This game has a story but it hides it. This game doesn't hold you hand and drags you through the world. You get quests and the npcs just tell you where to go. This game is about walking through the beautiful landscape and to scout. The open world has lots of different enemies, bosses.    First of all,thats my first souls like game I've ever played.

    I am a big fan of From Software games and this is the next evolution of the dark souls formula. 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.

    I have been playing this game on PS5 and I have sometimes experienced fps drops when I am riding in forrest areas, but nothing that has been game breaking.    … Expand

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.

And I received more value and content than I had originally intended. With this being said, I haven’t seen a game come out where I was like “this is a masterpiece” since RDR2 and perhaps, The Witcher. I will be sure to keep an eye on future FromSoftware games and would recommend anyone who is up for the challenge - BUY IT. Is there issues? Yes. But in this day and age, this is exactly what I’m looking for out of a game. Complete, no bs, beautiful landscapes, runs smooth on the Xbox series X. They delivered exactly what they promised (and more). For that I have to give Elden Ring a 10/10 and other publishers and developers should take note.… Expand

    It's pretty easy and I had no problems finishing it within a weekend. I think FromSoft really reduced the difficulty in comparison to their previous games, sad. :/

    This game definetly has its flaws, its funny because im rating it a 10 as if it was perfect, but elden ring has so many strengths going for it that I believe out weigh its weaknesses To start of the world is just so pretty to look at and explore thanks to all the unique things each area has.

    It started a bit slow and I was a bit unsure, but as it all unfolds, the game has awoken a part of me within gaming which I havent felt in many, many years. So despite the weaknesses, its still a solid 10

    The customisation is awesome, everyone's build is unique. I'm constantly discovering new things and mechanics. Despite the story being hard to follow, it definitely draws you in and keeps you hungry to advance and see what is around the corner.

I really liked AC: Odessey early game feature of defining next objective location by myself using mountains, rivers, cities as reference points (before upgrading drone-eagle). All ER exploration is about that. No need to rush through main story. If you see something interesting far away, then you should check it out. If you found new interesting weapon, then you should try it. Same for spells, armor and talismans. The game isn't for everyone, but everyone should give it a try.    … Expand

    It's not just critics, it's streamers, influencers etc. I have put 200+ hours into this game since launch and I still feel an itch to go back and explore the Lands Between.

    B)Elden Rings story is NOT forced down your throat. u have to EARN IT.. u Need to explore.. read item descriptions and talk to every NPC u meet MANY times.. all these people that say it has no story.. ARE LAZY.. or CAN'T READ... PERIOD

    C) Elden Ring has NO EASY MODE... the game is HARD.. invest some time and GIT GUD!! just cuz your terrible at it.. or dont wanna try... does NOT make the game a Zero out of TEN

    Bottom line.. this game is a CLASSIC and worth its 95 rating. people that say other wise are not objectively looking at it.. they are just mad cuz their computer cant run it.. or They are terrible at it.. once again.. in 2022 people are LAZY

    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.
