    Groundbreaking open world RPG in almost every way possible. BOTW on steroids.

    Amazing gameplay. Huge open world. Don’t understand the zero scores. I understand frame rate issues for some people but they are on the fix in the future. One of the best games in the last decade.

    Game is not accessible at all. Would love to learn the lore and see the beautiful artwork they put into it but I’m not about to die a million times to some stupid boss that’s stupidly overpowered. Make a difficulty slider so I can actually somehow enjoy it. *sigh* back to BotW for the millionth time.

    The most overhyped and overrated fanboy game of all time. Graphics looks like ps3, not much colours, Not a beautiful game like so many others. The story and gameplay is not that good at all. I really dont get why it got that rating from all those sites. Its not a game i would hype unless you are a fanboy of these kind of games.

    Literal everything you would want in a souls game. It’s like if you compiled all of Fromsoftwares previous titles and added more on top of it.

    The game is gorgeous on PS5 and I have no idea what people are talking about when they are comparing it to ps3 era visuals. If you loved dark souls, you’ll adore Elden ring.

I don't want to play a game that a seven year old child can pick up and play, because in the end that's who that game is tailored towards. I want to be respected. I want to be tested. I want the thrill of discovery and triumph. This game has that in spades.

    The graphics aren't superb, but honestly, I like it like that. The way they are it helps to create the sense of unreality, like a living dream that can be stepped into at any time. The graphics aren't what's important - it's the design. It's a meticulous and well-wrought world and some, unfortunately, are unable to look up from the ground to see that.

    If you have some patience and give this game the time it deserves you will be well rewarded with one of the greatest gaming experiences of your life. So, don't give up, because that's when you have really lost.    … Expand

    Best open world game I have ever played. Wide variety and always something to do. However, frame rate drops, pop ins and sluggish level progression hold it back from 10. Also, and no one will ever change my mind about this, FromSoft should have streamlined coop, especially in Elden Ring where you can play and progress the entire game with friends without interruption.

    Anyone giving this game a 10/10 is incapable of being objective about a game made by FromSoftware. For anyone who want Dark Souls in an open world, this game is for you.

This is touted as being "the most accessible Souls game ever" which may in fact be the case. If it is, it still has a long way to go.

    The lack of markers on the map is supposed to "give you more incentive to explore the world" when in fact it just makes everything tedious. The lack of a quest log means that you have to manually keep track of any side quests, which is absolutely absurd that a game in 2022 doesn't have a quest log. I honestly can't even think of how that can be construed as a positive.

    In terms of graphics, it looks like a late PS3/early PS4 game and it has FPS issues even on PS5. The UI looks like something out of the early 2000s.

    As for the story, most of the side quests actually have a better story than the main story, which is kinda sad. You're likely either going to need a second playthrough or some googling to fully grasp the story, which is pretty bad game design. Don't take lessons from Kingdom Hearts when it comes to story.

    To summarize, if you like Dark Souls, you'll probably like this game. If you don't want to feel like the game you're playing is a chore, steer clear from this game.    … Expand

I personally am loving the whole package, especially how the game encourages curious explorations, and rewards them with surprising unique encounters and rewards. Miyazaki, in his typical way, engages in an ambiguous non-verbal dialogue with the players. As usual, a lot is communicated through environmental storytelling, scattered scripts, and gameplay. However, this time around I am finding it easier to read into. Big changes in approach will be needed for the people coming in with a muscle memory. And there is an intimidating amount of learning required for new players - so I can only recommend it to those who are motivated to put in the effort.… Expand

    This is going to sound strange coming from me, a massive From Software fan who's been greatly looking forward to Elden Ring, but I actually have mixed feelings about this game.

    I've put about 15 hours into the game so far, and I'm still mostly exploring the starting area, Limgrave, so perhaps there's much better content to see as you progress a bit further, or perhaps I'm just missing something. But, thus far, I have two main issues with the experience.

    The first issue is that I feel like I lack any kind of specific, concrete, long-term goal. What exactly am I supposed to be working towards? All I've been told in-game is to somehow "become an Elden Lord." It's such a vague task however that I'm unable to wrap my head around how to specifically go about achieving it. What does becoming an Elden Lord entail? Who knows. I can assume it entails exploring further and further into the Lands Between and ultimately fighting a final boss, after which you may be presented with the opportunity to "become an Elden Lord." But this is ultimately a guess, and because the game doesn't give you this goal in concrete terms, it has made a lot of what I've done in the game so far feel very aimless and strangely pointless. It doesn't feel like I'm working towards anything specific, and therefore I feel almost disincentivized to engage with what seems to be the only activity the open world has yet to offer - fighting enemies.

    Which brings me to my second issue - the content in the open world. I've explored Limgrave now for about 15 hours, as I've said. I haven't discovered a single interesting thing that wasn't in some way a fight. Where exactly is this wealth of content that every review claims is around every corner? I've discovered random boss encounters; these are pretty cool. I've discovered lots of small, medium, and large groups of enemies; these are generally less cool. Fighting enemies in Souls games has always been more about the macro reward - progression along a set, geographically linear (relatively) path that inches you closer and closer to some concrete objective - rather than fighting just for its own sake. But that's all it feels like I'm doing here. There are chests with various items in some enemy camps, but these have been pretty few so far, and the items contained within are typically just "meh." It feels like a lot of simply fighting for the sake of fighting, and that just doesn't constitute worthwhile and compelling content for an open world in my opinion, if that's all there is to do.

    I hate to do it, but I'm going to compare this experience with that of Breath of the Wild, because tbh I can't play an open world game without at least subconsciously making this comparison every step of the way.

    In Breath of the Wild, you're given a very simple and concrete objective right off the bat. "Defeat Ganon." It's so easy to understand. You're going to fight Ganon. It's going to be a physical battle. You know you're going to need to get stronger, you're going to need more health, more stamina, better gear, etc. Therefore, you can proceed with purpose, and every choice you make in the game can be contextualized, even when it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with defeating Ganon. Some things you'll do will feel directly tied to that goal, and other things won't feel related at all, but having that concrete goal gives purpose and context to your actions, and as a player you feel this, even if it's only subconsciously.

    Secondly, there's just so much to do in Hyrule! Fighting enemies is just one activity among many, as opposed to the only real content around the open world. On my first play-through of BotW I actually ignored and avoided enemy groups frequently, because I was having so much fun just doing everything else. I felt like there was such a variety of content, and importantly, it was all so much fun to do, and a lot of it just for its own sake. Finding Koroks was an enjoyable activity that put a smile on my face, regardless of the reward you get for doing it. Fighting random pockets of enemies in Elden Ring is not really all that fun, and especially so when it doesn't have the needed context of a concrete goal or objective.

    So, although I am enjoying Elden Ring to an extent, right now I fail to see how the open world is an asset to the Souls formula. I'm more inclined to say that it's a detriment, as it doesn't offer any real novelty in the way of content, and possibly distracts from the aspects of a Souls game that I find compelling. Like I said, I've explored Limgrave for about 15 hours now, and a lot of that time spent has felt aimless and unrewarding. I don't feel like I'm really progressing, because I don't have a concrete goal to work towards, and the content isn't necessarily all that fun or engaging for its own sake.

    I hope my experience gets better and better as I play, that it eventually just "clicks" and really hooks me, but as of right now my feelings are mixed.    … Expand

    Yeah, the performance sucks. The graphics are also far from what a game released in 2022 should look like and that’s why I’m rating it with 9 instead of 10. But holy sh*t, is this game good! The open world, the lore you have to discover by yourself and so much more make Elden Ring the ultimate Souls game.

The game may be considered as an open world rpg, but since it is so different from other games of that category, it fits itself into a whole new subgenre that might feel weird to people who are not familiar to the Souls series. That’s why it’s important to get familiar with it to truly enjoy the experience Elden Ring has to offer.… Expand

    What specs you need to run it 60fps - 1080p or 4K, without stutter or lag?
    - Honest answer is that, no matter how good your PC is, no matter, if you have PS5, this game will perform horribly and only thing you can do is wait for multiple patches.

    This game goes into same category of games, that have been extremely overhyped and extremely underdelivered. Other examples would be "Cyberpunk 2077", "Fallout 76", "Anthem", "Battlefield 2042" and "Elden Ring" is another fine addition to that list.

    So what new groundbreaking mechanics, graphics, open world design, innovative combat or interesting story this game offers? - Pretty much none of these.

    Graphically (for some weird reason) this game goes back to 2012/2013. But 2012/2013 had lots of great games and at times "Elden Ring" even looks beautiful, especially the sky, but ground and grass textures are pretty much worse than some 2013 games. For 2022 AAA release this is bad. Game that gets Metascores 95/97 in 2022, should have way more work put into it.

    Next up is open world design - There's extreme amount of boring looking, absolutely empty areas. This is automatically bad open world design, because these empty areas, that doesn't even look good have zero purpose to be there. Other areas that actually have something, okay let's make that clear, all that other areas have is trees and monsters. Endless amount of monsters that are simply sitting there, doing nothing, waiting for you to slay them. This is literally Runescape game design 101, i have been playing Runescape since 2004, i know what i'm talking about.

    Quests (if you can even call them) are extremely short, boring and you can literally ignore all of them. It's usually some lady asking you to go somewhere, get something, get it back to her. Most hilarious thing is that game doesn't show that you have completed any of them, which basically means that by the end of the game, you forget that you even did these. Runescape has more complex lore, quests and writing than this game can only dream of. Why i'm talking about Runescape and not Skyrim, you might ask - Well because lore wise, Skyrim would be too tough challenger for this game.

    Combat is extremely similar to Dark Souls 3, game that released 6 years ago. Same animations, same everything. Anyone who says in that case that "Innovation is overrated" has no right to criticize Rockstar or Ubisoft ever again, just saying.

    Anyone who says that having horse is innovative must be a troll, because having this empty open world without any transportation, would be almost insulting.

    All in all very weak release, only fun i had in this whole game were two boss fights - Margit and Godrick, i have to say they have extremely unfair combos, attacks and they are pointlessly difficult to beat, especially for 2 first bosses, but at least they have some interesting lore and cool monster design.

    1 point for beautiful sky design, 1 point for Margit boss design and 1 point for Godrick boss design.

    Overall score 3/10 - Not recommending, unless you have never played open world game before, but even then, you just could play older open world games that are way better.    … Expand

    Putting 5-10 hours into this game gave me both a skinking sense of deja-vu and the feeling of forcing myself to eat fistfuls of overly sweet cake.

    If, like me, you have played this series since Demon's Souls, you will realise Elden Ring is Dark Souls 4. Or Demon's Souls 2 - It doesn't really matter at this point.

    Other than the *slightly* more open world structure (the 'Souls series was always somewhat open in structure) and Torrent the goathorse, everything is exactly the same as all the previous games, including elements from Bloodborne and Sekiro.

    Same player classes and animations?
    Same enemy design, including enemy types/classes?
    Same pseudo-mediaeval world, with lonely atmosphere?
    Same dead-eyed, hollow-voiced NPCs?
    Same controls and combat system?
    Same telling of the opaque story and world lore through item descriptions?
    Same, boring, grindy progression system?
    Same die-and-die-again repetitive gameplay?
    Enroaching feeling that you are wasting your life playing updates to the same game released well over a decade ago?

    'Yes' to all of the above.

    Mashing together your previous 4 games and adding a horse is in no way innovative or good, by any metric. This is one of the laziest 'masterpieces' I have ever seen.

    It used to be fun, but its just the same bland thing over and over again.

    Utterly sickening - i hope you like cake. And then more cake. After a palate cleanser of cake. All washed down with a warm glass of cake, chewed up and regurgitated into a pint glass by Hidetaka Miyazaki.    … Expand

    Detto ciò, essendo che nel mondo video ludico non ci sono solo i giochi From la valutazione deve essere differente. Soprattutto considerando l’enorme mole di giochi open world disponibili.
    Il mondo è estremamente statico, nemmeno la vegetazione reagisce minimamente al passaggio del PG, cosa non da PlayStation 4 ma da PlayStation 3. Il mondo se non per la presenza di mostri (a volte molto ispirati e comunque presenti in grande varietà) è totalmente morto e vuoto. Tecnicamente parlando siamo di fronte a un gioco a inizio generazione PlayStation 4, non ci passo sopra “perché è From”, sopratutto considerando il frame rate instabile in un gioco di questo tipo.
    Tralasciando il reparto tecnico insufficiente, ci sono state belle innovazioni nel combattimento come ceneri e il salto. Ma si tira dietro i classici problemi della saga. Hitbox imprecise, animazioni legnose e imprecise. Con animazioni imprecise intendo che per fare un parry l’unica cosa da fare è imparare a memoria il tempismo andando a tentativi. Perché in base al nemico il tempismo cambia ma non segue l’animazione. Quindi abbiamo un sistema di combattimento difficile NON per una AI particolarmente efficace e per un combattimento estremamente tecnico e profondo, ma semplicemente perché non è fatto come si deve. Anche perché è un sistema di combattimento abbastanza basilare.

    Reparto creativo eccellente, bellissimo a livello artistico. E per chi piace, ottima anche la “narrativa”. In sostanza, come gioco From gioco da 9, come gioco nel mondo reale dove esiste la concorrenza e le altre case di sviluppo, oltre al 7 questo titolo non merita.    … Expand

I don't often leave reviews for games, but when I saw some of the review-bombing that the PS5 version of Elden Ring is getting on here, I figured I had to say my piece.
    First off, there are clearly tons of people who are on the wrong page and don't realize it. The PC port is not very well done and I won't say anything to defend it, but to come to the PS5 listing and complain about PC frame rate issues, lack of ultrawide support and other issues that clearly have nothing to do with PS5 is extremely dishonest. If you removed all of the negative reviews that have been clearly left on the wrong page, the score would be like 10 points higher. It's a shame that people can outright post that they are reviewing the wrong game as part of their review feedback, and that review just stays up and potentially affects other's opinions. I think Metacritic should remove reviews that are posted to the wrong platform.
    That aside, the game is astonishing. The folks saying that the open world is flat or empty must be playing a completely different game than I am. You can barely run for 30 seconds before finding something interesting. I am probably not even a third into the game and I have found so many things that have surprised and intrigued me that I have lost count. Some assets (like catacombs) are re-configured and re-used, but when maybe 4 out of the 100+ points of interest I've found are re-configured, that is completely okay with me.
    As for the folks who are saying that this game is re-using assets (animations etc.) as a form of criticism, I think they are being completely unrealistic. For a game of this magnitude to exist, that was a tool that FromSoft had which made it possible in the first place. They have a pile of animation rigs, AI and other assets from other games they have published on this engine, and it seems to me that their swan song for that robust engine is to take all of the best from it and use it (plus countless new assets) to build a gargantuan game which would not otherwise be possible, and to give an incredible amount of content to players who enjoy the material FromSoft creates.
    I suspect that the hype, mostly by gaming news sites with reviewers that have come to love FromSoft games, has led to many new folks picking up Elden Ring who have not played other FromSoft games and have no idea what they are getting into. That clearly shows in some of the reviews that are listing series staples as design flaws.
    In short, the PS5 version of this game is the way to go, and it runs perfectly. The graphics are fantastic considering the unimaginable scope of this game, and the gameplay is perfect. Go explore, get lost, get killed, get lost somewhere else, get stronger and come back to get revenge. This game is truly open-ended, and everything is possible right from the start. It feels like being dropped into a living, breathing world with endless mysteries to unravel. If that sounds cool to you, you will enjoy this game.    … Expand

    Elden ring is the best the soulsborne formula has to offer from engaging on your toes combat to deep and thoughtful lore. This series has it all for anyone who wants a challenge and not to have their hand held.

    I’ve been hyper for this game for over a year and a half. And shockingly it wasn’t as good as I thought.

    It was better. Best open world RPG I’ve ever played.

    This game is very poorly optimized and looks terrible. The game has lots of hitching and I feel I am playing on a ps3 or xbox 360.The gameplay is fun at times but enemies feel repetitive. You fight an enemy die comeback, kill it, feel good about killing it but then its rinse and repeat. The map is extremely boring and dull. There is no story. I mean you find tidbits here and there butThis game is very poorly optimized and looks terrible.

    Depois de 24 horas sinto que não fiz nem 10% do game, um dos melhores games que já joguei. 10/10 (Rodando liso no ps4 pro).

    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.
