I wasn’t very optimistic going into the game and haven’t enjoyed most modern games lately. especially open world games, they usually stress me out and make me burn out very fast. I was recommended by a friend to try this game out and hadn’t seen anything about it before purchasing. After only an hour of gameplay I was immediately hooked, I couldn’t stop playing. The open world pulled me in and immersed me without overwhelming me, I felt rewarded instead of side tracked. Being mostly an MMO player I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the vague quest design and story. It truly inspired me to figure things out on my own. After beating it 6 times in a short period of time I have since moved on to play all of fromsoft’s other games and beat all of them aswell. This game is now my #1 overall favorite game I think I have ever played. Can not recommend enough to anyone who enjoys exploring, challenging themselves, and getting immersed in a beautiful world.… Expand

    Playing it on a PS4, and I've had nearly zero performance issues. Sure, the graphics aren't as impressive as new generation hardware, but the game is so incredibly fun that it doesn't matter at all. This is what Elden Ring has going for it: it's just super fun. If you enjoy action RPGs, or dark fantasy settings, PLEASE, give this a try. It's a masterpiece.

    After fully completing the game and putting in 140 hours, I think the critics nailed it, this game really is an open world masterpiece which is guaranteed to influence open world rpgs and maybe even open world shooters moving forward. The artistic, design, sound, exploration, immersion, combat, lore, enemy/area/boss/weapon/spell variety and size of the world are literally off the charts.After fully completing the game and putting in 140 hours, I think the critics nailed it, this game really is an open world masterpiece which is guaranteed to influence open world rpgs and maybe even open world shooters moving forward. The artistic, design, sound, exploration, immersion, combat, lore, enemy/area/boss/weapon/spell variety and size of the world are literally off the charts. It's also challenging while not being unfair and it gives you options to trivialise absolutely anything if you have no interest in the challenge. If they had charged $100 (EA or Ubisoft would have) it would be understandable but at 60 it's a steal. This game is almost certainly going to win GOTY 2022.… Expand

    Man, this is one of the best games on Playstation, hands down. And no, I wasn't a fan of every souls game. I found some of the others repetitive and kind of boring. But holy crap does this change that. This game is exciting, as fast paced as you want it to be, and extremely addictive. It makes you want to restart it and try every possible build that you can. I seriously couldn't put it down!

    "quests"? - I may sound like a smartarse when I state this, but Miyazaki has his own way of doing it... love it or hate it at the end of the day it's personal preference right?
    I understand that the PC version had some issues to begin with, it's a good thing this day and age games can be improved upon (which I believe they have done so). I myself have played (playing) it on my PS5, I am yet to come across any substantial chugging or straight up game breaking issues but i can only speak for myself.

    Now for the good stuff......
    If you're a fan of the "souls genre" you have arrived to heaven! The game has by far the largest selection of unique weapons and fashion pieces (with the ability to alter the majority of them, thanks Boc) You can really create the "hero" of your dreams!
    Varity is the spice of life and ER delivers! I for one am happy to slam my head against the brick wall to go back over and over until my muscle memory develops for each enemy, but if unlike me you find yourself struggling you can go to soooooo many other locations to get stronger or just simply take a breather!

    I am **** at writing reviews, admittedly I am biased towards this series of games...

    Bottom line is, if you are expecting BOTW, Horizon (both are phenomenal games btw) or even Skyrim - you're fresh out of luck..
    One does not walk into an Armani store looking for an extreme metal hoodie & bondage pants right?!
    I think they have shaken things up enough even if you aren't familiar with the series but possess some amount of patience to just stick with it untill it clicks..... there's a gleaming gem here!

    I personally have put in over 250 hours so far - and i can't see myself getting bored of the Lands between anytime soon!

There will likely be dlcs though, and while I'm looking forward to that, even after over 400 hours on the game I still am not bored and can wait as long as I like. As for the gameplay, it is excellent. It is different than the other souls games in that it is open world, but it's still a souls like at heart. The difficulty is high, like any other souls game, but when the going gets tough you can just do some side quests to get stronger, rather than banging your head against a boss that's too high level for you until you bleed out. The game allows for so much customization, rather that be all the awesome and unique weapons, the stylish armors, and even tons of spells and incantations. There are many different places to explore and many questlines and dungeons. Although some dislike the game for the amount of repetition, like repeated bosses, ruins, and enemies, I personally like that, it allows you to know what to expect when you enter a ruin, like after you find the cellar in gatefront, then another in waypoint, you know whenever you go into a ruin your immediate goal is to look for a cellar. Then, the game plays with those expectations and adds a trap in the cellar, or hide the cellar beneath and illusory wall. For me, this is easily the best game of all time, and I'm glad I got to experience it for myself.… Expand

    The cooperative accessibility really helped propel this game into being my favourite SoulsBourne title. It’s open world, while not revolutionary, is significantly delivered better than most other AAA titles. I think this has to do with how it still doesn’t really hold your hand. Commonly, waypoints destroy the immersion and sense of exploration and wonder, but Elden Ring doesn’t ‘instruct you at all times’. It merely points you in the right direction and it does it so well you may not even consciously realise.

    The graphics have improved, as they tend to on each title. They fall slightly short of the Demons Souls remake, but it can easily be forgiven for the sheer scale of Elden Ring which impossibly seemed to get bigger and bigger throughout my playthrough.

    The story is very reminiscent of FROMs predecessors. I don’t think I have the patience or mental capacity to understand it all (I’ll stick to YouTube deep dives to explain character relationships and further lore). It’s quite deep and complex, but the core objective is Dark Souls nuance.

    Tons of value for money, a game that will be cherished for generations. It’s a remarkable feat, and while not everyone enjoys these types of games, they should certainly take the gamble if they are on the fence.    … Expand

    Please stop asking for difficulty sliders, the entire point of Soulsborne games is to be difficult. I’ve spent 200+ hours on each of my saves and the game never gets old because of the unique challenges presented by each boss and new area.

    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.

    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.

    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.

It does not have any dull open world activities or side
    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

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

    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.
