    Amazing. Simple as that. Soulsbornekiro players rejoice! Imagine Dark Souls philosophy in a Breath of the Wild format. Probably my GotY. Performance issues do occur but nothing that hinders the experience. Play in framerate mode. Ooooh elden ring!

    I'm around 10hrs in and very much enjoying it so far! Boss fights are awesome, combat and exploration is fun, yeah there's a couple of graphic issues but who cares..you don't play souls games for graphics. It's about combat, art design, lore and patience!! All these cry babies review bombing coz they probably suck at.. git gud people lol

    Game's amazing, most negative reviews are just from people who like the new horizon game more.
    Love the kind of story in these games where you have to find it in items and piece it together yourself, it's like the opposite of an exposition dump. Really love trying to piece together and figure out the lore, which is what i like about all of from's games.

    Im around 20 hours in the game now. Im loving it, there is just something that makes soulsborne games so much fun, Challenging content with a lot of creative combat and the the game feels way more rewarding than punshing and with additional QoL features like FINALLY we have a map, This is a great game.

    In progress. But this game has been something truly special for me. I know a lot of people are having some performance issues and can understand the frustration with that and don't hold it against them. For me though this game is as good as it gets. I haven't had the issues others claim to have and I've played games more in the last 5 days then I have in a long time.

    SO good so far. Only negative is it has some frame hiccups at some spots nothing too bad, and will prolly be patched up. Literally everything else is Godlike and this is quickly becoming my favorite new souls game. And the Open World is the closest to Breath of the Wilds quality that i have seen yet. So much good here that i cant care to knock it for points.

    I didn't think they could outdo Dark Souls 3 & that it had all been done in the other games. And then there was Elden Ring. Amazing refresh, tons of cool new additions, rewarding for noobs and Souls veterans alike. Never coulda pictured a BOTW-style open world until now. A MUST.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. wow......what a game.....I used to have a few problems with it  but after spending 160 hours on my first playthrough, and then 140 hours on my second, I can say for certain that this is my favorite game of all time, I can hardly think of any real flaws with the game. I have played every other souls game including sekiro, and I personally think elden ring was the best so far. it has the best exploration, the best areas, the best area variety, best build variety, best enemy variety, the best visuals/graphics, best voice acting and imo the best bosses of the souls series. alot of people say the bosses were the wirst in elden ring, but I couldn't disagree more, I thought the bosses were so much more fulfilling and memorable, they were super challenging as well, they're some of the longest, most cinematic, most spectacular, most challenging bosses fromsoft has ever designed, and I do not agree with any of the "BS difficulty" arguments, (besides elden stars for elden beast, that is nearly impossible to dodge, though its damage isn't much, the boss can do 60 other attacks at the same time, luckily he rarely uses it) malenias waterfowl has many ways to dodge it, just harder than most attacks, her healing is not a problem at all either, it just encourages you to not get hit, she is my favorite boss of all time. other great bosses were maliketh, fortissax, placidusax, godfrey, radahn, godrick, morgott, renalla, mohg, rykard, and the final boss. I even enjoyed the bosses that most people hate, like the fire giant, godskin duo, and commander niall (believe it or not, theres alot of people that like those bosses) even the mini bosses that were reskinned enemies were still better than most other bosses in open world games like breath of the wild. I even thought the dragon fights were really cool, fighting a giant fire breathing dragon in a giant lake flying all over the place in the night sky is something everyone should experience. and the soundtrack for this game is simply fantastic. the legacy dungeons in this game are amazing, it is worth playing this game to experience stormveil and leyndell alone, and even the open world areas are all fantastic, I even thought the worst one, the snow area, was very enjoyable.
    the cave and catacomb mini dungeons aren't as good, but I still enjoyed most of them, and they're still better than most open world mini dungeons the build variety is amazing, I already have 20 different builds I want to try out. the NPC's and their questlines and endings are some of the best they've ever been (sekiro still has the best endings though imo) people often complain about the reused assets, but it was actually a really good thing, since more resources were able to be used to make the nee things in the game, though I will admit, maybe haveing some more unique animations would have been cool, but it doesn't ruin the game for me at all.
    the traversal is great, torrent is a really good mount, and the art direction is breath taking in this game, the colors pop so much and everything in the game looks like a painting. the guard counter is a great addition that not everyone will use, and the ash of war system is a fantastic idea, the spirit summons are really cool, but sadly people will only gravitate to the super strong summons, rather than the cooler/cuter ones like the soldjars. people do think that the game gets worse at the end, but I thought it only got better. this game is truly a bang for your buck, you can spend so much time in the game and keep anjoying it and replaying it, and I sure the DLC will truly elavate the game by alot (every other fromsoft DLC has been 10x better than the base game) this is GOTY for sure, everyone and their grandma is playing it, it's one of the most innovative open world games yet, it's definitely a must play, but not everyone will enjoy it due to its difficulty and vague nature, so be warned.    … Expand

    Nothing but praise to this game. To "dive in" the open-world genre and delivering a masterpiece out of the bat without ever sacrificing their souls roots is nothing but a work of genius. Boss fights, secrets, dungeons, fortresses, creativity and the challenge... if that doesn't entice you then I don't know what will.

    Elden Ring doesn't have fetch Quests it has many dungeons interesting side Quests where you have to find the next steps all by yourself and lots of secret on every corner. To this date Fromsoftwares best game.

These are people that are upset that it has yet to be optimized as well for PC. Yes, it does run into problems on PC at times. This does not make it anything less than what it is. The developers are aware of the problem and are working on a patch. Japanese games are often less optimized on PC.

    This game is definitely more accessible than other souls titles but still expect it to be very challenging at the least, and at most VERY difficult.I still recommend this game to anyone who loves great action or JRPGs, as you would be hard pressed to find a better game in those categories.    … Expand

    El mejor Souls Like al que he jugado nunca. No es de 10, ya que he visto algún error gráfico. Pero lo que no es normal es el review bombing que está sufriendo. Realmente es de 9. Hoy ha salido una nueva actualización, Pero que casi una cuarta parte de las críticas de usuarios es negativa no es normal.

With the gigantic world that have hundreds of things to do , boss battles that are thrilling and amazing to beat , and the beautiful story that comes along. Elden Ring is a must play for people who enjoy soulsborne games and people who have never heard it. I've already sunk in around 115 hours and i've beaten the game a second time. I still saw new things that I've never seen before. An honest 10/10 for the game and congrats to the FromSoftware team.… Expand

    I just can give this a 10. If I could I would give it a 20. Its the best game I have ever played and I am not a Dark Souls fan boy. I liked Demon Souls but it was just a 7 for me. This new formula is great. Every learning step taken in this mysterious world feels like a rewarding success. Played online with 2 friends and this even doubles the fun to have.

    Yeah, that's it. We ate at the peak of gaming.

    This is it. It's all downhill from now.

    Elden ring is, with the lack of a better word, a masterpiece.

    Don't play it if you like skyrim, button mash and hack-and-slash games. This game is harder than you can probably handle.

    The game also does not hold your hand, at all.
    It's your adventure and your own path into becoming an Elden lord.

    The gameplay is similar to Dark Souls 3 with lots of additional features like jumping, horse riding, stamina breaking, crafting, sewing, and destructible environments for the many open world boss fights against giant enemies. Customization is great and derpy as you expect in a Fromsoftware game. The enemies are epic and horrifying with very interesting and creative looks and designs. It´s very challenging but you can always choose to further explore the open world than being stuck on a boss for hours.

    There isn´t much story, it is the same obscure apocalyptic lore puzzle like in Dark Souls but the few npc quests are memorable and rewarding. Sound design and music are top notch.

    The game runs at stable 60fps in performance mode with very few frame drops. Graphics aren´t as good as some PS5 exclusives but the art style and design of the open world and the enemies make more than up for that.

    Overall a great game and the closest open world to Zelda BotW in terms of diversity and open world design. 10/10    … 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.
