    This is the fourth dimension of Dark Souls 3, exceeded the previous titles in every way, a huge open world filled with activities and rewards, new travel system and respawning near boss fights, this game will not disappoint souls fans and will be a new entry to newcomers. Highly recommended.

Unless you have endless amount of time to roam around the game and slowly but surely level your character up then this game is certainly for you! As a person who can’t and won’t spend countless hours on a video game, I find this game specifically to be increasingly harder then any of the other dark souls or any other games related to dark souls. I enjoy the mantra of feeling extremely accomplished once you defeat a hard Enemy, but this game takes it to a new level. For anyone who has not played or completed any of the dark souls games, this game will basically be unbeatable. Honestly I cant seem to understand where the 10/10 ratings came from, the graphics are sub-par and the character ability vs enemy ability is just so out of proportion. For a game that i was so unbelievably excited for, this game has ultimately let me down. I expected a sever challenge and was ready for anything this game had to offer, but after a week of being stuck in the same spot with no way to effectively progress through this spot has ultimately turned me away from this game. I congratulate and praise anyone who is skilled enough to be able to surge through the game with minimal pushback from enemies, but it seems me and MANY others do possess the skill or time needed to trek through this game effectively. In no way shape or form do I want the game to change, or have an easy mode or anything like that, i just wish there were ways to use all weapons given to you regardless of arcane level and such. The game needs to be more diversified and give you a fighting chance to be diverse in your attacks towards different enemies. A slow heavy fighter can do a lot of damage, and vise versa, but versus someone who is extremely fast with more health and more damage that you, it’s basically the same result every time. “You Died” over and over again.… Expand

    Best FromSoftware game to date! Elden Ring consumes my every waking thought right now. Soulsbourne fans will see it for the masterpiece it is. It is still a FromSoftware game though, so if you don't like Dark Souls or Bloodbourne you probably won't like this one either. If you've never played a FromSoft game, this is a pretty good place to start.

    The story looks really lazy and it´s not something what is giving powerful impulse to keep going. The game throw you inside the world just with basic information or without some further story which would give some more explanation what you doing here or who you are... Or maybe I missed something.
    The next issue is the figures you meet in this game, they miss some big charisma or individual emotions, just walking puppets. Talking about enemies and its AI is so simple like just ordinary scripting of easy-hard fighting modes and nothing more, walking dead bodies.
    Absence of some kind of life (living persons) makes you feel that you are walking thru the valley of doomed in one of circles belong to hell.
    This is just about slashing of monsters, soldiers and other freaks on each corner. I can´t avoid a feeling in my self of repetitive action after some time. Like walking thru damn hell which makes you feel more and more bored and bothered in some moments. I have to use one citation: „dying 9000 times against a one million HP bosses all the time isn't fun…“.
    About fighting and physics of your avatar, ough, the mechanics together with reaction times should be much more improved bcs it really s*cks in some moments (especially at fights). To the next, I think that most of players would welcome an option to choose difficulty level. One more thing, where is some dual-sense effect within PS5? I didn´t notice anything of the character during game play.
    Graphic aspect of this game looks nicely done but not something of next-gen proportions or something what should blow out my mind.
    In overall, it´s very good made and looks nice but it´s nothing what brings some new aspects within innovations. I think many things are taken (copied) from other games of same character and retransferred to this game. Example is the placing of messages during game play by other players, this is exactly the thing which has already been brought by Kojima into Death Stranding.
    I have to admit this is not a game for everyone, you can love it or hate it, nothing between. I much more enjoy game play of Ghost of Tsushima than something like that. I don´t understand the rating of popular magazines, maybe good payed by other side...
    This game has big potential be a game of games 2022 but this stood in some half way of idea to bring it on this level…    … Expand

Is this game for everybody? No it’s not.
    Is this one of the best souls experiences of all time? Personally yes, I believe From Soft has only gotten better with each entry, sekiro being my favorite all around.
    In reality this is just dark souls 4 but as anyone who was looking forward to this can tell you, that’s exactly what we wanted.
    If you want a game that doesn’t hold your hand and doesn’t stop you every 5 minutes to remind you of your goals or where to go, and a game that has a satisfying loop of explore, battle, loot, level. This is the game for you. With an open world that so far is unfathomably large detailed and interesting and some of the most interesting enemy and boss encounters in the series. With a ton more freedom to how to build a character. This is easily an all time classic soulsborne experience. The last thing I’ll say is a lot of people complain about the lack of quest logs, mini map, and general map markers, but the game does actually do a very good job of guiding you and keeping you on track. I am the kind of person who gets fatigued by seeing all the incomplete quests and areas I still have to explore, and Elden Ring simply allows you to wander and get lost without asking you to stop and collect 1/500 something’s for a reward. I only have maybe 1/3 or less of the map uncovered with 40 hours in and I have yet to not be surprised around every corner.    … Expand

    Elden Ring is an absolute breath of fresh air in gaming. It perfectly captures the magic of early Zelda games where you just wanted to explore the map to find things you haven't found. The gamr is massive on a scale that feels absurd the more you get into it, but it is presented in such a way that it never feels overwhelming. This game is a masterpiece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So let’s break this game down to what it is. It is a soulsborne game, no doubt. It’s an open world game. Are these bad things? Absolutely not. FromSoftware has done something with this genre of games that not many other company’s have been able to do. They’ve injected life back into what was becoming a stagnant genre. And for those complaining that there isnt a story to the game, have you not played any other game of theirs? The story is meant to be found and put together throughout the games, instead of being handed to you. It is meant to be EXPLORED and delved into. And people complaining about the difficulty don’t seem to get it either. They don’t make games for people that like walking simulators. FromSoftware games are meant for those looking for a challenge. Much like Ninja Gaiden, these games are meant to test you and make you want to improve your skill. That is part of the allure of soulsborne games. And they also usually have some of, if not the best, boss battles of any games out there. The backstory bosses get in the games brings a whole new level to them whilst facing them. I mean, Artorias from Dark Souls was a tragic boss battle where you actually felt bad that you had to beat him, not to mention Sif. The same applies here to many, if not all the main bosses in the game. One specific boss is a two headed dragon that can only be described as an epic encounter. I literally got Ghidorah vibes with it as well as dark eater Midir. In closing, I just ask that people that rate this, please don’t review bomb it. You not only are doing a disservice to the company, but to all the people who want to enjoy what they have created. It really is a labor of love from them.… Expand

    Are the graphics last gen? As a generational cross-platform title they are fine and the visual design is breath taking.

    Is it easier than previous games from the developer? Having tried a couple of previous games I’d agree that it is more ‘accessible’. I spent many hours roaming around the huge map – as long as I didn’t engage in combat (exploring, not lost! lol). I’m sure with enough (and constant) grinding and learning the mechanics and routines of enemies I could progress – maybe even finish the game. But having spent several increasingly boring hours ‘farming’ the same spot I’ve decided that it’s not for me and I’d guess some other gamers having been persuaded by the very pro reviews will be disappointed. Others will love the pain and eventual gain.

    The PS5 version is buggy. The game has been compared to Skyrim, however, apart from a fantasy setting the only other, significant, aspect it shares with it, is the distracting pop-in and other bugs that SR had on launch.

    Overall, ER reminded me not of SR but, in some elements, Dragons Dogma (which I enjoyed) - with a huge dollop of Farming Simulator 22 (lol).

    ER has a world and intriguing lore I know I would love to further explore, but not at the price of dodging the same rock for 5 hours to level up to beat some grunts. Perfect for FromSoftware fans new and old – who may see it as (their) 'the best best game ever'. Everyone else should take the hype and promise of accessibility with a pinch of salt.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my first souls game and the best way to review this is to tell you what has happened, so here we go. Very minor spoilers.

    Character creation was good and I created Isabelle. It was kinda hard to make her pretty, but this is standard these days and there is lots of options at least. It’s passable if not exceptional. Then we get a cool cutscene telling us to find the Elden ring, very dramatic and it was a good scene. I started in a little chapel and got to look around an area before I met the first ‘boss’, a giant spider with lots of swords that killed me very quickly which apparently is a dark souls thing.

    I woke up in a grave where there was a small tutorial and killable boss and then went up on a lift... and wow, huge big world. I got told to head north to a castle but I’m free to go anywhere. Walking the path to the north is a man on a horse. And here is the thing. Seems like I could kill it with my starter gear. But he is very tough. I would have to fight and die and learn and repeat, for a while. Or.... I can sneak around and completely ignore him seemingly forever. Or... I can go somewhere else, get some better stats and gear and come back and challenge him when I’m stronger. Which is what I choose.

    So I decide to look around first. Down south there is a beach.. to the east a forest... ruins to the west.. I found a little cave with a wolf man boss and while he killed me too, he was easier than the horse and after a few tries he was dead and I looted a talisman that helps me against fire, was quite rewarding I thought, nice buzz from killing the boss.

    Now I found a camp with enemy soldiers and take their armor. I also got my weapon, the ‘flail’ which is ball on chain, and after getting the stats to use it I’m feeling stronger. I also got to summon a pack of wolves. I tried the horse guy again but he’s still a bit much so I am going to look somewhere else.

    So, to me this is super fun. I’m very immersed, very challenged, I’m searching caves and fighting bosses and getting loot. I’ve seen a HUGE dragon and the horse guy is waiting for me, as is apparently the first real boss who I haven’t even seen yet in 15 or so hours. Now a lot of the reviews are about the performance. World, music, graphics and gameplay is great but there are performance issues for sure. Sometimes the grass just appears under me, and sometimes the frames stutter a bit. I found that this doesn’t affect my game that much. It’s not often enough that it matters to me personally, but I do understand that should exclude it from 10/10. It is noticeable, and also the ‘quality’ mode is unplayable compared to performance mode, so it does need to take a point off just in terms of overall quality of the game. I also did struggle with the character creation like I mentioned, the females are too masculine by default and perhaps this is a design choice, but I like to create characters that look a bit like me and they’re not allowing that here. Not sure if this is a political statement or why, but really feels weird you can’t just say it’s a female body and have it look like a girl. But when this is the main issue then have to say the game is good! I happily give it 9/10 honestly. I’m enjoying it a lot and when I’m not playing I’m thinking about what I’m going to do next.    … Expand

    The story and lore is there, you need to understand and unfold the story. FromSofware is famous for challenging game so stop complaining or stop trying if you don't like difficult games.
    This game is for people who's sick of open world with ? ! and crap like that on open world maps.
    If you don't get it keep playing call of of duty and assassin creed ( I did like Odyssey)where they dumbly take you by the end and explain you what to do.    … Expand

    I'm a big fan of FromSoft games so my opinion is little biased but i think everybody can agree that when a game that has as much hype as this one and it doesn't end up as a disaster like a certain(ehem...Cyberpunk) everybody is happy. Yes it has some flaws like any other game but it more than makes up for them by how good the rest is.

Yes it has some flaws like any other game but it more than makes up for them by how good the rest is.

    Negatives:
    _bosses are repeated in dungeons quite often(but they are 100% optional so no big deal).
    _A lot enemies can be found in all regions, but all open world games have this(botw has bokoblins everywhere.
    _The pc port is pretty bad, this is just an L nothing i can say about that but i have the ps5 version and i only had a framedrop after 43 hours of playing.
    _Horseback battles are not the best (they're still very awkward).
    _Keeping up with character quests is a headache, a good headache but a headache none the less.

    Positives:
    _Insane boss veriety(i think there's like 80 unique bosses).
    _The most beutiful(not the best looking graphically) i have ever seen.
    _ Absolutely enormous build options, weapon types, sorceries, incatations, jump attacks, charged attacks, parries, powerstancing(dual weilding) and finally horseback battle.
    _Amazing story telling/story line(if you are curious enough)
    _An easy mode for more casual players in the form of spirit summons, coop, npc summons and OP weapons.
    _spectacular main story bosses.
    _Many plot twists.
    _Unparalleled sense of scale.
    _Great diversity in areas.
    _Top tier music(as expected of Yuka Kitamura)
    _Chalenging for those looking for a chalenge.
    _Jumping (Praise the jumping).
    _The amazing FromSoft level design.

    It's not a game for a lot of people but for those who like these games or those who want to give it a shot, it's something special.    … Expand

Have you ever actually played an awful and broken game? Apparently not if you think this deserves a 0-4 etc

    Do I think the game has some issues? Yes particularly when it comes to performance. Honestly the game would get a 10 rating if FromSoftware innovated more, or changed up their formula by adding more variety to their games.

    The game at its core is still fighting and traps. Where are the inventive puzzles to break the monotony? Gave us a jump button but really didn’t make much use for it besides combat.

    Honestly I think they are afraid to change up the formula because their last game Sekiro, which was amazing sold less than DS3 and the Dark Souls fanatics are apparently addicted to the same thing.

    Also to add on to the performance issues the fact that this game has pop-in, and frame rate issues on PS5 or any other version is embarrassing to say the least. The game isn’t pushing any graphical boundaries and is devoid of shadows in tons of areas particularly indoors. Watching a bat flap it’s wings in the distance looking like a stuttering mess is a sight to behold. If I didn’t like the game I would score it lower on these factors.    … Expand

I hate that this game became a mountain of hype. Sorry but, the souls series doesn’t deserve this treatment. I don’t know why they decided to open it up to the general, more stupid audience. If this game had the same fanbase DS3 had at its release, I guarantee you it would’ve had a fan review score of 98-99.

You never know if you are losing to a boss because you didn't explore enough or he was just easy because of that. All invasions are fked up, pvp is basically dead and even if not it's most of the time just 2 hit OP arts or magic. While you have 900 bosses it's basically like 30 that repeat itself again and again, as fire, ice, toxic, double bosses or all of that. All the dungeons almost look the same and quickly make no sense to explore since you are very limited in upgrade material. The game also runs like a dog FPS wise and eats inputs. The boss design is extremely flawed since you either get hit by a gimmick instant mechanic that has no visual feedback or you die to an one hit. Bosses onehit or twohit me all the time with over 60 Vigor and Heavy Armor, let that sink. Bosses regardless who never gave me a satisfaction for killing them like Sekiro did.

This game is fantastic and this is coming from someone who has only completed one FromSoft game with it being Sekiro. I have played the other games and own most of them. And anyone saying that these games don't innovate have zero idea what their talking about. The reason this game works so well is because it is using and fine-tuning everything that came before it. Someone on here says, "All you do is spam L1 and R1". Yeah good luck breaking enemy guards without using shield parries, jump attacks , charge attacks, and your special abilities. "The world is boring" You must not have left the main menu. This is the most natural and varied world design of any open world game. Period. You can't go five minutes in any direction without running into something of interest, whether that be an enemy, hidden area or even just an amazing view. Sure the engine they use is dated and needs some serious updating. But they used their art direction to it's fullest and the game looks gorgeous for how old the engine is. The game has bigs and stutters but nothing I have seen on my Base PS4 that leads me to feel it can't be fixed with a patch or two. The music, character and monster design, the world flow and design. All of it is top notch. And then you have the different builds and abilities you use that give each character numerous ways to play. They also changed how progression works. Before if a boss was too hard you were pretty much stuck until you could get past them. Now if someone is kicking your teeth in, just leave. Yup. Go adventure. Find other things to do. Find new gear and spells. Come back when you're more prepared. That takes a massive load of of any new players because the fun isn't just put on hold until you can beat this boss. You can go have fun elsewhere. So yeah, as someone who was very skeptical if they would like this game let me say that this is a game that needs to be experienced and don't let some troll tell you otherwise.… Expand

Do not listen to them. They did not take the time to learn the game and its many systems and just bashed it for not being just another Jiminy Cockthroat open world that holds your hand every step of the way like the stuff Ubisoft puts out.

    Elden Ring is the exact opposite of that. It may not be the largest open world, but it is DENSE. You cannot go more than 5 minutes without stumbling upon some old ruins, a random dungeon, a hidden secret, a roaming boss, or some other interesting encounter. It's genuinely insane how much stuff they were able to pack into the game with so few repeats. And this gets even more insane inside the big legacy dungeons, which are so sprawling and labyrinthine you could spend hours alone in each one.

    Every single weapon looks great and feels good to use, and with the ability to change their damage types, attribute scaling, and special abilities using Ashes of War, the depth of character customization has never been higher. These skills are also a lot more varied than they were in previous games, ranging from classics like stomp and spin attack to ranged elemental projectiles to duplicating certain spells to sucking in all nearby enemies with the power of gravity.

    Combat has been improved in many other ways too. Guard breaks now give use to your heavy attacks, jump attacks now have an actual input, and guard counters are some of the most satisfying attacks to land in the entire game. Additionally, the best feature from Dark Souls 2, powerstancing, has returned with a vengeance, and it is glorious.

    Spells received a similar increase in variety, with a wide array of interesting effects from a spray of chaotic firey bolts that builds a negative status effect on the user to a telekinetic flurry of thrown rocks to transforming into a tiny moon and launching yourself at an enemy. Additionally, many quick-casting spells can be cast much faster after using another action, such as rolling, attacking, or casting another similar spell, while others can be charged to deal even more damage.

    The only two legitimate problems the game has are the inclusion of Easy Anticheat and the rather poor optimization on PC. At time of writing, I don't know if they've fixed that, but I run the game at medium settings on a PC that barely meets the minimum requirements, and I can play it just fine. The game will occasionally freeze for a couple seconds, but I've never had it crash (though someone I was cooping with at one point did crash once), and occasionally large chunks of the screen will change to a solid color (usually either magenta or cyan) for a single frame, but these performance issues are rather rare and become less frequent the longer my session.

    As for Easy Anticheat, it's probably the worst anticheat on the market today. While I applaud them for attempting to solve the hacking problem, Easy is hilariously bad at what it does and basically only serves to make it more difficult for players to mod the game in fun ways like the Remastest and Nightfall mods for Dark Souls 1.

    Overall, even with its performance issues, this is still easily the best game FromSoft has put out and a shoe-in for game of the year, possibly even game of the decade. Hell, it even briefly held the title of second highest-rated game of all time on Metacritic, and still holds #11 at time of writing.    … Expand

    One of the best games ever created l… The art, the lore, the music, the smooth combat system, the very dangerous open world, and the feeling of being humbled. Huge dark souls player and I have to say from software in the future will have a very hard time making a game better than Elden Ring.

    Everything I was hoping for. Souls veterans will feel like they're coming home. Especially if they come from ds3. Newcomers might be daunted by the genre as its gameplay pattern doesn't fit the typical rpg and has a higher difficulty curve than most games. Not a game for everyone, but a perfect game for some.

The story is poorly written, some things got lost in translation perhaps. There is an illusion of choice, but there's really only one choice that helps, you will be limited in what you can do in game if you make the wrong choice or until you go back and make the right choice. Your best weapon is Google and others have said, you will die constantly and stare at the loading screen. Defeating a boss feels more like a relief than a sense of accomplishment. I wish there had been a trial period because I never would have spent the time and money on this title. Skill is not as important as level and gear when it comes to defeating bosses, which encourages one to kill the same bosses over and over to level up, then take on the boss with higher gear. The graphics are pretty and that's worth two stars, watch this on Twitch for the best experience.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics are amazing and I really wish that I could explore the world more thoroughly… but… the problem is that every corner you turn, every bend you go around, every path you travel is absolutely packed full of danger with monsters that kill you in 2 hits… everywhere! Also, when you die, the monsters that you have just slogged for ages to slowly chip away at return. If you get stuck somewhere… you’re stuck for good! It is just too hard… no difficulty settings, no save games, just essentially “checkpoints”. Booby trapped chests that transport you to death traps… I’ve been playing for two hours now and I’m literally over it. I’ve been slaughtered at least 30 times. This is not like Skyrim, Elder Scrolls, Fallout or any other MMORPG, so don’t expect to ease in. You’re literally dropped in with a crap sword and shield that do stuff all damage. Don’t think you’re just gonna waltz around picking up weapons or armour off slain monsters or defeated enemies… oh no… won’t be doing that. I was excited about this game, but no I literally hate it… I want to love it, but it is a complete downer with little fun to be had.… Expand

    Elden ring is a truly open ended and beautiful world with more stunning variety and play-style choice than any other Soulslike the universal difficulty system works perfectly i have found myself bashing my head against the wall of a difficult boss only to go around it and find dungeons and side bosses and items and then i return to that boss and kick its ass. the world is designed to teach you, if you are capable of listening and learning this game will hone your skill into combat supremacy without you even realizing until after you triumph.

    The world itself is also lore and story rich with exploration being reward with pieces of story, visage and character development. this game will be as good as you want it to be if you enter expecting freedom and fun you will receive that if you enter expecting combat and triumph against adversity that you will find as you improve.

Unfortunately, many people who think that The Last Of Us: Part II's graphics were low to mid-end appear to believe that elden ring looks like its from the 2000's. Although its graphics aren't the peak of the medium right now, I find it impossible to call them bad in good faith, and even if they were, Hidetaka Miyazaki's incredible art direction would make up for it ten-fold. Additionally, many people who have obviously missed the point are arguing that the story is lack-lustre because they can't be bothered to search for it, and prefer to have their story spoon-fed to them as if they were toddlers. there is nothing wrong with this approach to story-telling, but saying that a game is bad because it does not use it is simply childish. Additionally, many negative critics are arguing about other aspects of the game in the same way. they argue that because the game doesn't have swimming, or doesn't have climbing, or doesn't have flying makes the game automatically bad, even though the map was carefully curated with these constraints in mind. by the way, if you see any reviewers saying that the game has an empty open world, or that the environmental design is all the same, or that the combat is the clunkiest out of any of the souls games, or that enemies are recycled from the other souls games, it would be a fair assumption to assume that they have not even played the game or at the very least never left the starting area, as there were people planning on review-bombing the game before it even released, mostly in order to make Horizon: Forbidden West look better, and all of these things are so obviously false that not even a child would have the misfortune of thinking of this game in any of those ways. the one aspect of the game that all of the negative reviewers are saying that is actually correct (other than the language options in other countries and whatnot) is that the performance isn't the best. sometimes the frame rate drops to 30 fps, but it really doesn't take me out of the experience at least and it's pretty hard to tell the difference in my opinion, although I have a past of not caring about frame rates much, if at all. if you are a stickler for frame rates, then I suggest you wait until a patch comes out to fix it, but otherwise I suggest you ignore the people giving the game overwhelmingly negative reviews, because this game is worth far more than every penny of its cost, and I think that almost every person deserves to play it.… Expand

That's to say the "Get good" meme is actually the advice due to every playstyle being just as viable as each other, but ultimately Elden Ring just like the other Soulsborn games they aren't easy games that everyone will be able to just pick up, but if you have the time and patience you can get good enough to go the whole game never taking damage at level 1.    … Expand

Both are fantastic games, but from the moment my copy of Elden Ring arrived, I haven't touched the former. Elden Ring isn't perfect, but it is easily my favorite souls-like game, with Bloodborne coming in second. I'll quickly address the review bombers: most of these 0 scores are clearly bad faith and shouldn't be entertained. On the PS5, I haven't had any performance issues in my 80 hours of gameplay, although I have seen some minor bugs like pop-in which I'm sure will be addressed with future patches. And that's that. For the positives, there are so many. Here are a few of mine that I haven't seen mentioned:

    1) HORSE COMBAT. This is by far the coolest addition to the game. It's not mechanically complex, but man it's entertaining to mow down an enemy camp like a 12th century marauder on horseback. And boss battles on horseback, of which there are MANY, take on an epic and high-stakes nature I hadn't previously experienced in a souls-like game.

    2) Seamless blend of linear and non-linear gameplay. Some open world games, like GTA 5 and RDR2, do this very poorly. Linear indoor sections feel like an afterthought and the on-the-rails nature of the action kills any sense of tension. In Elden Ring, linear indoor areas and non-linear outdoors areas work seamlessly together to vary up the gameplay. For instance, you're free to wander the open map and engage or not engage enemies as you see fit. But then you venture into a massive castle, or an underground city, and the game takes on the tension, suspense, and danger of previous souls-likes, with traps, ambushes, and puzzles. It's great.

    3) An open world game that doesn't hold your hand. Take Horizon for example. Anytime you arrive at a new location, NPCs and points of interest are automatically marked for you on the map with a ?. Quests are listed in the quest log. This is all very convenient, but for me it takes away from the immersion. Quests become a tedious laundry list to complete. Not in Elden Ring though. No quest markers. No quest logs. The only hints you receive are organically in-game and it's up to you to remember them. Just like in REAL LIFE, right?? It's a great concept and encourages you to scour every inch of the detailed world for hidden dungeon entrances, NPCs, merchants, and bosses.

    As I said above, Elden Ring isn't a perfect game, but it's probably my favorite open world game, BOTW included. I hope this short review has piqued your interest! Don't let the bad faith actors dissuade you.    … 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.
