    Those giving the negative reviews either don’t understand what makes a game outstanding, as this really is one of those special one of a kind games.
    The rewarding feeling you get, as well as the rewards you get from defeating tough enemies, are all so worth it. The huge map compliments that nicely, as there’s so much for you to see and do.

    I chose to go as prisoner as my class as the sorceries are extremely fun to use. The melee conbat is brilliant because of the depth it has and how many different weapons and Ashes of war to chose from

    The performance on the PS5 version I have been playing could be improved but doesn’t take away too much of my enjoyment.

    The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild set the mark for what an open world game should be and Elden Ring has built upon those stepping stones and improved upon it. It has surpassed Breath of the Wild in my opinion, but botw is still an absolutely brilliant game and still one of the best. Elden Ring will be talked about for years to come and will never be forgotton.    … Expand

Elden Ring is kind of everything you have already seen in other Miyazaki games put together in a very smart way, plus an incredible blend of open world landscape and intelligent level design. Legacy dungeons are just what you would expect from a From Software game, with an added dimension of verticality and an even more complex construction, while outside the dungeons you have a vast world full of secrets and dangers (with respective rewards). After 15 hours I went back to the first area and found A LOT of things left to do, and none of them were boring or useless (unlike most open world games). The only problems are really "just" technical. I hope they will be solved soon enough, but it IS quite a scandal that a cross-gen game does not run properly on any platform. On horse there is massive pop-in, as well as when you respawn, and frame drops are far from being rare even in performance mode. At least, I found there is less input lag and much faster loadings (thanks to PS5 SSD). Dying is less painful now that you can respawn in less than 5 seconds.… Expand

    I love this game so far. Last year to challenge myself, I decided to play Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1, 2, and 3, Bloodborne, and Sekiro back to back, having not played any of them before, as a challenge.
    At first it seemed impossibly difficult, and I thought I had made a terrible mistake, but eventually something clicked in my head and I understood.

    At first it seemed impossibly difficult, and I thought I had made a terrible mistake, but eventually something clicked in my head and I understood. Thinking of the games as being punishingly difficult is a miscategorization of what they are doing. They are, more than anything, trying to get you to play them on their own terms, rather than your own. In. a way, it felt like learning to play Tony Hawk Pro Skater. It wanted something very specific from me, that wasn't exactly in my wheelhouse, but once I started to pay attention to what it was asking, the games opened up to me.
    Elden Ring feels like the culmination of every experiment, every idea that the studio has tried from Demon's Souls onward. The levels are some of the most polished, most fully realized they have ever produced. The bosses are cool and unique, the overworld feels full of possibility and excitement.
    I also think it's the most fair and giving game that they've produced of this kind. If you feel stuck on something, there are hundreds of other areas to explore, and lower level enemies to fight and gain experience and hone your skills on, rather than being stuck in 1-2 places, or going through the paces of farming for xp or resources in an old spot.
    If you don't like it, that's fine, it doesn't have to be for you, but personally I love it, and if you're trying the game and feel like you might have made a mistake, I would ask, before you give it up and write it off, just take some time to go explore. See what you find. Try doing something different, experiment with a different build. There's a lot of opportunity in this game, if you go looking for it.    … Expand

Also others seem to be saying that this game is empty, devoid, and samey. This could not be further from the truth, it's painfully obvious that many of these players made it 2 hours in a gave up. As for me I have play around 30 hours and have discovered probably 30% of the map, crawled countless dungeons, fought epic bosses, listened to exceptional music, and had the most fun I've ever had whilst gaming. To see this getting trashed is a travesty to game design. This is a technical marvel, a game of our generation, to sit there and get butt hurt cause the graphics aren't Horizon Forbidden West is an insult. Ask yourself is the game fun, and if the answer is yes who gives a flip( btw the game is beautiful). I am also hearing these same players complain about there being no story with is absolutely absurd, because it literally gives you lore and story with every character and boss and environment you meet. Do not be swayed by these crybabies who need there hands held while they take a dump.

    The best bossfights of the souls saga, also good graphics, the connection in the world is the best, the only way to beat the connection of the DS1 is with an open world and Miyazaki made an excellent work with it, the boss fights are EPIC, literally, te soundtrack is really good, and the new mechanics well implemented, the only bad thing is the drop rate of fps.

So far it’s optimization is not perfect on ps5(I hear it’s a lot worse on pc) but I am sure it will be fixed. I don’t get people who give bad ratings to the game just because it stutters. Jeez it’s been two days until release ,have some patience. It’s graphics are mediocre for a GOTY contender. I’d give it 6/10 or 7/10 . TBH i didn’t really expect this game to be the best looking game, but it doesn’t by any means look bad. People saying it looks like a ps3 game are simply ridiculous.

    The part that left me with a sour taste in my mouth( I wouldn’t say dissapointed because I already suspected it might be this way) is that it didn’t really bring too many changes on the previous combat sytems of the game. I would be nice if the combat had more touches of sekiro and bloodborne,not just dark souls, and also add the three types of dodging( rolling like dark souls,sidestepping like sekiro and dashing like bloodborne) and make them depend on equip burden and armor
    The combat system is still a masterpiece ,but maybe it’s mechanics are perhaps a bit,old?

    Otherwise the world is great , the bosses are masterpieces and the combat system is still fun and addictive and the lore is fabulous.    … Expand

However, while the game can be extremely difficult at times the game provides ways and means to overcome these difficulties without holding the players hands through every step.

    While the graphics are almost the same as ps4, everything else in the game compensates for it. The world is huge full of sites not usually found in any other game as the world feels built from scratch and the environment is specially built based on that. While the world is huge, it is not littered with meaningless quests and areas which makes almost every discovery meaningful and not like a chore.

    While battling on horseback need a bit of getting used to and learning, the overall horseback mechanics are almost excellent and smooth without it feeling too clunky or restrictive.

    The game is excellent and challenging with a vast open world and content that feels like it never runs out but does not feel like a chore hence continues to give a sense of adventure from the beginning to the very end of the game.    … Expand

    - Defended to the death by souls fans and I'm not even complaining about the difficulty...

    No excuse to not support those things when I can fire up indie games from 10 years ago and they do.

    The most generous of games from the developers. You have to know how to make the difference between technical problems and the great part given to the artistic direction, gameplay, level design etc...
    Exploration is rewarded at its fair value as long as you like to get lost in the gigantic universe on offer. A bit simple on some bosses if you leveled up a bit quickly.

    Same crap different day. Ridiculous gameplay and graphics with "ghosts" running all about distracting you from what's going on. Combat is unbalanced and sluggish. Another one of those overhyped dogs that I got suckered into buying.

    Wish I could give it a higher score but unfortunately this game like others is just to much without other modes! I have 3 kids and a full time job and to expect me to play and just be constantly killed is dumb/stupid some people just don’t have the time. Put in an easier mode!

    The game seems to be developed on ps3, the graphic is awful, the lazy developers are not even capable to reach a stable 60fps on series x, the assets are completely ricicled from past games, the loading times are too long.
    Despect to these unacceptable issues, i give 2 becouse the gameplay sometimes is quite funny, at despect of the frustrating difficulty of the bosses.

    Absolute 10/10 game. An absolute artistic masterpiece, that also happens to play brilliantly. I've never been huge into the souls games until PS5 era, and I'm so happy I have been able to get into it and have fun. The exploration aspect is just so cool, and the boss designs so far have been perfect for me- challenging but not overly so where I feel like I am getting stuck.

    Wonderful adventure. Played on PC, a little stutter and could be optimized better. Despite all that, the game is so amazing and memorable. It's so good that I kept thinking playing Elden Ring during work. Some love/hate this game because of the difficulty. I'm neutral regarding difficulty. However, the sense of adventure

    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.
