    PS4 graphics with beautiful art, mechanics and physics of a PS3 game. Beautiful story beautiful world. But the tech in this game is just super sub par. Old mechanics with one shot mechanics does not make a hard game it makes a lazy game and a grind.

    En gustos se rompen géneros y definitivamente este juego no es para todos. Me parece un juego terrible en el mal sentido, entiendo que al ser un juego Souls sea difícil pero con Elden Ring a los desarrolladores se les ha ido la mano y no se siente difícil sino más bien injusto. Me explico:

    En Elden Ring la dificultad se basa en lo lento, débil y torpe que es tu personaje, mientras que    En gustos se rompen géneros y definitivamente este juego no es para todos. Me parece un juego terrible en el mal sentido, entiendo que al ser un juego Souls sea difícil pero con Elden Ring a los desarrolladores se les ha ido la mano y no se siente difícil sino más bien injusto. Me explico:

    En Elden Ring la dificultad se basa en lo lento, débil y torpe que es tu personaje, mientras que los enemigos son rápidos, fuertes y ¡DIOS MIO! Vaya que aguantan los golpes. Conforme avances podrás ir mejorando poco a poco tus habilidades, para esto necesitaras runas, así que prepárate para farmearlas como loco porque son indispensables, aquí es donde entra la parte ABURRIDA del juego. Algunos jefes son tan fuertes que si no subes tu nivel te será imposible vencerlos y ahí es donde me choca mucho Elden Ring. Tan solo para matar al primer jefe principal, tarde 2 horas y tuve que subir al nivel 23 para lo cual me tarde 7 horas de juego, de esas 7 horas la mitad puedo decir que fueron aburridas, ya que, aunque el mundo de Elden Ring es enorme, tienes que tener mucho cuidado de no morir y perder todas tus runas, entonces no te puedes divertir como quisieras debido a este factor. Al final Elden Ring se basa en: morir, mejora tus habilidades, vuelve a morir, sigue mejorando, muere, muere, muere, muere, muere, muere, muere, muere... Y no porque seas en si un mal jugador, sino porque simplemente el juego es injusto y te CASTIGA por cualquier pequeño error de forma despiadada.

    Si tu idea de un juego divertido es la de morir, morir, morir y morir, tardarte de mínimo 2 horas en derrotar a un jefe y pasar largas sesiones de juego farmeando para crecer de nivel, Elden Ring es para ti. Si prefieres un juego retador y que no se sienta TAN injusto te recomiendo mejor acercarte a juegos como Sekiro o Bloodborne. Elden Ring simplemente no vale la pena.    … Expand

    I’ve never been a fan of the Souls games and everyone was ranting about how accessible this game is compared to the others so I gave it a shot. Well nope. Same Souls bullsh*t with cheap deaths, overpowered bosses, and clunky feeling controls. I value my precious gaming time too much to waste it smashing my face up against brick wall after brick wall.

    This game is not as great as I was hoping. There is a lot of recycling from old games and the open world is no more exciting than any other open world game with too much dead space. There is no cool way to get around. It's just another game with a horse. Graphics are dated and frame rate is subpar for a game with equivalent graphics. No innovation here. Just another Dark Souls. Wait for a sale.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game ranks amongst one of the best games in the Soulsborne genre, but it STILL lacks what is takes to be a truly great game; or even a 'good' game really.

    The graphics are excellent, and the combat controls are relatively responsive, as they need to be in this genre of game. However, that being said, the game falls short on MANY fronts and demonstrates a lack of developer insight into what makes an exceptional game.

    While the combat controls are very responsive, the combat in the game often devolves into enemies crowding the player, with the player fighting the in-game camera as much as they are fighting the enemies. This lack of insight, amongst other things, detracts from what could otherwise be a great game.

    Competitor 'souls-like' games (e.g. Nioh) so a better job of pacing the combat properly, and offering players some room to actually see what is going on.

    Undoubtedly the weebs will shout their lack-of-brain-cells, lemming-like, mantra of 'git gud', but those shouts of mindless of brainless drivel should be directed at the developers, not the players in an effort to get the devs to put forth that 'git gud' effort into overcoming their own barriers, get rid of some of these mindless, idiotic, pacing and crowding issues that mar what could otherwise be a 10/10 game.

    Still, all that said, it is still a very 'good' game...and would still a solid 5/10. It really is a 'average' game; but that's just it...it's ok, not 'excellent' or 'exceptional'; it still finds itself leaning on the same tired old soulsborne tropes and cliches. The sole exception to this is that it finally brings magic back into being a viable build.

    5/10 would have been as high as it could possibly go with the problems that still exist; and that have existed since the days of the soulsborne infancy.

    Unfortunately the Radahn & Fire Giant fights docked additional points because they stand in the way of the player as a 'mandatory' event; and those fights are quite possibly the most terrible fight design I have seen in any modern game. Look to the players, and how many "cheese" strategies players come up with for those two fights alone....that's your barometer for how badly you have designed a fight.

    Many other boss fights are likewise a gimmick-driven mess, and not remotely 'fun'; which is the purpose of gaming is it not? That's not to say that ALL of the boss fights are bad; I would say a solid 30-40% of them are well-designed and good; however unfortunately for only 30-40% of 'good' content, the customer should only be charged about 30-40% of the MSRP cost of the game.

    There's also some Game Design 101 flaws, for example many times you have to "reload the game world" in order for changes to take effect (e.g. you turn in a quest, and a new pathway is intended to open up; however nothing will happen until you Fast Travel somewhere, forcing the game world to reload)....I mean, seriously, c'mon From Software, that is like High School level basic game design, you guys are supposed to be pros!

    All in all, it's decent, and you definitely get your money's worth from a "time-spent" perspective, the game is MASSIVE. So that's a positive. The problem is that From Software still fails to deliver a game that is 100% fun to play. It's about 40% fun, and 60% eye-rolling bad design and annoying. Definitely see some substantial improvements for player experience, but they still have a long way to go.

    Definitely not the 10/10 experience that the weebs and fangirls are crying out.

    I would have to say the biggest downfall is the continued "lack of respect" towards a player's playtime. My time is far too valuable to waste it doing the same things over and over again. If the dev's target audience is grade schoolers or people drawing welfare stipends, okay sure; but for honest working folk, we don't have time for repetitive garbage.

    Another issue is EXCEPTIONALLY POOR quest design & quality-assurance testing. There is no 'Quest Log' to track your objectives; and if that isn't cumbersome enough, most of the quests are flat-out broken, with 'triggers' not happening reliably, NPCs not appearing where they are supposed to be, etc.

    The "summons" aspect is a really cool addition, and I really enjoy that aspect of the game. However, I do not appreciate the inconsistency of when/where you are able to summon. There is no explanation to why you can summon in some areas, and why you can't in others; the inconsistency with that game mechanic is mind-boggling from a professional studio.

    Final Elden Ring verdict, 3/10.    … Expand

There was not a single moment of the spellbinding tension of the other souls games nor was the exploration particularly interesting as compensation. In fact, I don't think I enjoyed a single moment and ended up just giving up and deleting the game and never looking back. Man oh man what a disappointment that was.

    You will hate it for no clear in game story (well that’s usual for FS), underwhelming complexity with no reward, very average graphics (well it not bad for FS games, but not in comparison with other) and open world which actually doesn’t make any sense in that game. As world’s lore is maniacally “foggy”, twisted and complicated and world itself provides you with veeeery few tips and hints about what happening, there is no desire or fun to investigate it at all. It mostly consists of empty areas and deadly mobs which you will grind day by day to make a next level up, so you can do same in next area. Also, most importantly, game is lagging on PS5 even in performance mode! Graphics mode is unplayable at all, as fps drops to a slide show, maybe that will be tuned a little by patches, but for the game where half second delay is critical this is totally unacceptable. Not recommend for a regular player who used to have good story/complexity/graphics/price balance.    … Expand

    While the game is fun I can only give it a 5 out of 10 strictly because its abusive toward the consumer as far as how straight punishing combat is.

    What I mean is bosses have very small hit boxes an can strike through walls an objects while your weapons bounce off of walls an objects an cannot hit the enemy through objects that cause collision like they can.

    Then bosses tend to move very fast an deal massive damage almost once shotting you every time, if your a meele build the game will punish you even worse but not as bad for casters.

    A game should be enjoyable you shouldn't be dying 30 times in a row just to get by an enemy, an people can say get good but that isn't even half the problem, most of the time you can't find the things needed to upgrade your weapons an the only armour altering down grades it absolutely nothing yet to improve it.

    On top of this their is times the enemy's weapon clearly did not strike me but I still take damage from them, then they also have you fighting multiple fast moving bosses at one time.

    Nothing about encounters is really fun with over 100 hours in I find myself constantly getting more an frustrated with the overall decision making as far as combat goes because it is no longer fun but more makes me want to send foul nasty messages to the devs because they clearly don't know the correct mix between fun an challenging what this game is, is strictly crap all the good an wonderful things about it arw straight ruined by super challenging enemy's an if you die well you lose all your experience making leveling harder because its also your money too.

    Then lets get into the crap frame rate that is constantly dipping close an close to 30FPS rather than 60.

    Then you also have idiot players leaving messages on things you need to interact with making offline play almost a necessity because it becomes annoying while playing.

    No point really in greater runes either because you have to find a rune arc to activate them but they seem to be in very limited supply or cost over 4000 exp a pop.

    While I started off loving the game now that I am on the mountain of giants area I am ready to quit over just not being able to kill anything because enemy's disappear an then are instantly behind you then throw combo after combo relentless leaving you no opening whatsoever an if you do strike they are never stund like you are but can attack through all your moves an kill you instantly.

    This game is not a must play at all it is a beautifully crafted game utterly ruined by combat alone.    … Expand

    The same old formula in an open-world setting, the game is buggy with outdated graphics and 35 fps in "performance mode". The "story" is quite unoriginal too. From a game with such high scores, I expected a lot more but this game is quite mediocre all around.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's like "The Evil Within" (2014), but bad. Really similar atmosphere, but something went wrong. People often say that "The Evil Within" is hard game (bosses are hard) and i have always "kind of" agreed, but i never cared when i died in "The Evil Within", because the whole game was extremely fun, so i always knew that whenever i beat this boss, there will be some cool new area after that, story goes on, etc. But even more, "The Evil Within" boss fight were actually fun, very challenging yes, but fun. Elden Ring is complete opposite. Nothing interesting happens after i beat this insanely overpowered boss and also, none of these fight are actually fun or enjoyable. All bosses in Elden Ring are extremely unfairly balanced against you. There's huge different between "Challenging boss" and "Unfairly balanced boss". Only boss you can't really kill (until you have met her at least 3-4 times) in The Evil Withing is Laura. She is also most difficult boss in the whole game, because she is "one hit kill" boss. The moment she touches you, you are dead. Is she unfairly balanced? NO. Because all you have to do is run away from her. That's the "fight", you have to be able to escape her and by the way, it's not easy at all. She can also teleport and she is extremely fast, so yeah, very challenging, but not unfairly balanced, because it's obvious what you have to do to beat her, there are rules. Elden Ring has zero rules. Most of these bosses in Elden Ring have completely randomized combos, attacks, special attacks, stuns, etc. That's what unfairly balanced means. You never know what they do. Never. They can have attack that hits you four times and right after that they hit you with some random combo, jump on you, etc. That's just nonsense. That's not fun, that's not enjoyable and that's why The Evil Within boss fights are fun and Elden Ring boss fight are not. This is obviously just my opinion, but i personally don't enjoy playing unfairly balanced games, so i rather stick to great games that actually make some sense.… Expand

    Tagline : "Most overrated Runescape clone, hyped up by people who hate the fact that GTA and Assassin's Creed are popular"

    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    Tagline : "Most overrated Runescape clone, hyped up by people who hate the fact that GTA and Assassin's Creed are popular"

    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

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 do not understand why those who love the game love it so much. I played the game for 20 hours and heard 30 sentences in total, how is this a perfect game? Is it the game of the year to make a map and fill it with ridiculous bosses and creatures? I've played the game for 20 hours and I don't understand what's going on in the game, there is no such nonsense game.

Is it the game of the year to make a map and fill it with ridiculous bosses and creatures? I've played the game for 20 hours and I don't understand what's going on in the game, there is no such nonsense game.

    There are already a few dialogues in total, and they wrote them so strangely to create mystery. For example, I see someone in the game, I think he will talk about what the game is about. He makes two stupid sentences and says go on, I can't deal with you. When I went to that round table, for the first time I said, "Okay, now they'll tell you two things". They said two ridiculous things. Someone said let me know if you see that woman, a woman hugged me and then said f.. off now. The other one has a wheel on his head, he said, "Let me teach you something" and he was teaching magic. Someone stands and looks at me and doesn't speak at all. Something like two statues is holding on to a stick selling something, what kind of environment is that? Tell me this. Is not it?

    For example, I came across something like a big cauldron while I was traveling, it was stuck on the ground and I saved it by hitting it, so this is not a normal type, is it? You have to explain this, the talking cauldron, it has hands and arms, what is it, where did it come from? No. "I'm alexander I'm traveling" that's it???

    I entered one cave, there are wolves etc. Then I went through a fog and there's a creature I can't remember the exact name of, something like the monster man of azura. I killed him and got out in 5-6 tries. Eh? What's up now? What did I understand, he is a type that looks like he has mutated from wolves, what is he looking for here, who is he? They modeled it and threw it there, two moves, it's over. Is this the perfect game?

    In short, there is no story that draws me in. If there is a story with a boss, you are ambitious to learn the continuation of that story, you try to defeat it, right? What's the story in this game? What motivates you in this game? What makes you wonder to continue? Does the next boss shoot by spinning, or does he create a sword out of nothing and shoot to understand it? For example, I think that first boss appeared in a place like a bridge. Tarnished etc. he said. Who is this? What does it do? What's the deal with this? His face is like rabies, he hits with a big stick in one hand, hits with his tail, throws out an imaginary knife, hits with an imaginary sledgehammer, hits with an imaginary sword, but what is the place of this in that story? I watched a few videos and there are too many meaningless bosses. I don't think any of them are told about their story, because as I said, I played for 20 hours and I must have heard 30 sentences or something. The cat statue is the boss, the dragon is the boss, the big horse is the little boss, etc.

    Even the item names are meaningless. There was an item named something like "white pickled rabbit" :D

    I think the man who did it thought "let this boss have a tail, hmm this one has 30 hands, what should it be, sir? Let it shoot" and shook everything out of his head. Anyway, I guess people thought they would make up a story in their head. If there is a decent story, do I have to open it and look it up on the internet etc.? Tell me the story in the game. I would like to learn the story of the game in the game, not by asking uncle google, we are playing a game, after all, we are not doing thesis research, are we?

    The game world is full. Get out of there. If we don't see the game, we will eat it. Creatures wandering around aimlessly. Go around and kill. Is this the full world? There is no sign of a living world or the like.

    I played a total of 30 hours with other characters and I always played in the mind of "people have always loved this game, what do I not understand, I should love it too". But it's a very bad game. You're stuck on a hype. The game also got 96 points??? What does 96 points mean? It means everything has to be perfect. Performance issues alone should have prevented him from getting that score. No story, no enemy AI. If we look at the graph, it sucks too. If other games had these problems, the whole game world would curse that game. But if you ask about this game, the answer is always the same "Souls games don't look for these" :D Don't look at the animation, don't look at the graphics, don't look at the story presentation, don't look at the optimization, what the hell are we looking for? Come to a boss, die 50 times to that boss, go back that way, memorize the moves of that boss and finally when you kill him, "oovaaaauuuvvv, this is the game, what a defeat, this is the pleasure of difficulty, yiaaa". The game is just that.    … Expand

    i played like 140hrs and this game is just not coming to an end. like in a bad way. it’s tedious. after all that time i‘m doing all the same crap like at the start, there is literally NO development in any case. it’s just fighting over and over and over and over and over and over again. which could be OK, but the highly appraised combat system is like the same sh*t like EVER. with all it’s flaws like 15 years ago. camera? super crap. hitboxes? super crap. movement? super irresponsive crap. what, theres a crappy endboss which is totally unfair cause he just spams 5 super range attacks in a row that one hit kills you over 50m? we‘ll just copy that boss later on and DOUBLE him. wow. what exceptional GAME DESIGN. now i know some virgins are gonna come up with git gut: why should i waste my fn time memorizing a tedious unfair boss by battling it 20 times? it’s just a waste of time. and the thing with difficulty is: i don’t mind difficult games. i played through returnal with six deaths, which is pretty ok i think. some say it’s the over all harder game. but you know what? it’s responsive. every button you press is immediately carried out on screen. returnal is a fn gaming heaven with hard but fair combat and the smoothest controls ever made. elden ring on the other hand is just so sluggish and lame and slow and sloppy and SO. FN. UNPRECISE. every hit i take, i‘ve 100% foreseen and pressed the damn block or roll button but the game is just so slow and badly designed… i have no words. i swear to god if my character ONCE more stumbles around like an idiot after a hit and not lifting up his shield like i tell him to, i‘ll fn break the controller in half. ITS JUST BAD GAME DESIGN. ok if the combat is bad and irresponsive, maybe roaming and exploring is cool. just two words: open world. just ride or walk 5000km to see… whatever copied ruin or magic tower or dungeon. it’s just typical open world BS. you could compress it into a nice 80hrs and it would be okish but that… which brings me to my next two points:

    the music fn sucks. it’s like 5 tracks made of annoyingly undesdinctive ambient crap music which KILLS your ears already in limgrave after a good 10 hrs. it’s so annoying i turned the music off. for the first time in my 25yrs gaming history. the atmosphere could be a plus. but whats that? everything ruined. dark. broken, bla bla bla. it’s the same fn stuff youve heard like 10 times in a row with every from soft game. i cant stand it anymore. but worse: the storytelling is STILL AS SH*TTY AS IT HAS EVER BEEN. don’t get me wrong, you don’t have to explain everything for a good story, i‘m in the filmbizz, i know that. but that crap is just so random undefined snot, i have no fn clue who i am, the people around me, the world and places and especially what i am doing. all atmosphere gets so compromised by this non-storytelling, i could not care less about ANYTHING in this game. who am i fighting right now? why? where am i? why has he a lion on his back or breaks the reality?.. plus: you have such unsatisfying choices all over this game it makes me angry. why give me the choice to change ANYTHING, when i have NO FKN clue for whom, why and what for i make the choices. spoiler free example: i could tell you you have to make a life changing decision RIGHT NOW by saying either PIDGEON or YELLOW. you have to choose. so you choose just out of random with no fn clue why and what for. thats how EVERY decision in this game feels. you just give up to care. it’s just REALLY BAD GAME DESIGN. in the end it’s just a repetitive, unresponsive, unfair, tedious, badly designed game with bad music and even worse storytelling. i‘m so done with it. it’s so boring me out i cant even comprehend. maybe it’s fun a few hours but after all this time i couldnt care less about anything that happens randomly and screams in my face: I‘M SO BADASS WITH MY BADLY DESIGNED COMBAT AND BOSSES WHICH YOU HAVE TO STUDY 50 TIMES WHILE DYING WITHOUT YOUR FAULT BECAUSE I SPAM A RANGE ATTACK WHICH YOU’D HAVE PROBABLY AVOIDED IF I DID ANYTHING YOU PRESSED IN TIME. if you want a soulslike play ds3. its shorter, more tense and pretty much the same crap, but less crappier. OR play returnal: the epidome of good game design, responsive controls, hard but fair combat and great music and superb (still cryptic) storytelling. where returnal is a bright shining star on the night sky, elden ring is an old sh*tstain on the side of a portable potty on the most disgusting construction site of the third world. 3/10 bussi baba    … Expand

    Contrary to most reviewers, I loved the open world and spent 180 hours in this game. After that time one might think I would leave at least mixed review but unfortunately late game has displayed too many problems and I have to put negative review now.

After that time one might think I would leave at least mixed review but unfortunately late game has displayed too many problems and I have to put negative review now.

    I played every souls game starting from demon souls. For me what was very important in every souls game is combat mechanics, that is the only thing that truly (gameplay-wise) separates souls game from any slasher-type game. Mechanics like where one has to commit to attack, because there is no way to cancel its animation, mechanics when weapons get stuck in the wall, different move sets of different weapons, etc. All these mechanics got basically destroyed by introducing customizable ashes of war and posture system.

    Ash of war is a skill that you attach to the weapon and can use while bearing that weapon. The problem with them is that contrary to the weapon balance these things are absolutely unbalanced. This is obviously clearly visible in the late game, as the difficulty ramps up at some point you have to either oneshot-twoshot enemy with your weapon art or commit to long battle using regular attacks. I have a faith build so couple of examples with my build would be:

    1) Blasphemous blade. Regular attacks hit for 300-500, weapon art hits for 1200+ in AOE and heals you 20% for every enemy hit. What is the point to use anything but these ashes of war in combat?

    2) Godslayer blade. This one bad boy just deals straight up to 3000+ dmg to enemy, while normal hits are in the area of 400-600. Its not aoe, so it is not always usable, but when it is - there is no point in using anything else.

    3) Any other weapon. The best ashes of war for my build would be incredible flames of the Redmane. This bad boy staggers any enemy in the game in couple of hits.

    On top of that, the HARDEST hitting spells in my arsenal such as flame take thee will hit for about 1000-1300. So these ashes of war make not only weapons, but also MOST of the spells redundant. What is the point in parrying enemy if you can just get them into posture break with flame of the redmanes? What is the point of dodging if you could use bloodhound step instead? Basically, From Software took all mechanics that made their games great and just tossed them all out of the window with unbalanced, absolutely over tuned ashes of war. What's worse, there are very few ashes of war that are actually interesting to use, most of them is just ONE BIG HUGE HIT IN AOE. For example, there are very few ashes of war that would allow you to somehow better your positioning and they are locked behind unique weapons. So if you imagine how you would wield two curved swords and jump around with ashes of war to keep distance from enemies - forget that, you are not getting it. What you could get though is a HUGE BIG HIT IN AOE, enjoy.

    Second thing I mentioned was posture break. This thing is also terribly over tuned on several types of attack. These are guard breaks and jump attacks. When you wield two heavy weapons there are no point in doing anything but jump attacks. If you wield one heavy weapon, fastest way to defeat enemy would be spam guard breaks. That's it, there is no more depth to the game.

    I really do not like the directions these games are going and as a big fan it is incredibly disappointing. Even games like Assassins Creed which are often used as an example of lazy game development now have more in-depth combat than famous souls series and this it is utterly disappointing.    … Expand

    I don't want non stop cut scenes, but a few more would've been nice. It should be fun to go through a story, not boring work.

    I am a father, and finding time to play games is hard. I know souls style games are hard, but I just cant pick it up and progress much with its difficulty. I have played bloodborne and dark souls and i felt similar. It feels like the same games in an open world.

    I spent about 15 hours with the game. I will say it is definitely good graphically, but just not the game i was looking for.

    I became bored with dying repeatedly and by the time i would figure something out, itd be time to stop playing. I felt no satisfaction.
    I had no performance issues, and i don't have hate for the game. But to me, its just not good and i do not understand the hype.

    Id never give a game a 0 because that's just ridiculous, but i cant give it more than a 3 because its just not fun or entertaining to me. The 15 hours I spent with it were boring and annoying.    … Expand

    I will say, the world building is amazing and crazy how much there is going in it. The art looks amazing and one of the best looking games I've seen. So artists for the game should feel proud.

    Beyond that the game just sucks and people really think it's amazing only because they are so distracted by pretty graphics they ignore poorly balancing and bugs. Sadly the game when working perfect isn't even that horribly difficult. The majority of the times I've lost to a boss and I didn't dodge the wrong way or something is because they glitch out. This goes both ways to, some are to easy because of the bugs. One of the first little dungeons I went in the boss wouldn't even move no matter how many times I reset it so had to just kill it and move on without even fighting it. Today trying the first big story boss and his dragon arm grabbed me multiple times when I wasn't even by him. He picked me up but I was floating in the air over 10 feet from him and killed me. Of course the game is hard when bosses don't work right. The bosses that don't bug out are usually a challenge but most of the time I win after only a few try's at most.

    As far as difficulty goes, it just pisses me off when my girlfriend would love to play the game and see the world they crated and enjoy the story. But she can't because they think only elite gamers should be allowed to play it. She just isn't that good at this kind of game no matter how hard she try's and can never play the game because of that. I'm sorry, but to me that's just being a bunch of stuck up **** who think to highly of themselves.

Now lets begin by noting how half of the people who bought the game were misled by false advertisement & paid reviewers. Sadly I'm one of those that were fooled. The souls genre has existed for quite sometime and I never bothered with it since its not my type of game but when elden ring came out the whole "reviewers community" heralded it as the second coming of christ saying it was something truly innovative and never before seen. Just like how these people lied to us about cyberpunk 2077, gow ragnarok or Hogwarts legacy they did the same with elden ring. Elden ring is by no means an "Open World rpg". That'd be witcher 3 and skyrim. This outdated piece of junk is not that. Its very much dark souls 4 with a few new bosses and multiple recycled mini bosses spread out on an open field. So less linear but not open world since "open world" means a world that's lived in, has many activities and elaborate side quests and has NPC hubs like towns and villages. Meanwhile elden ring's map is more like a battlefield with moments of respite. The graphics and gameplay is straight outta 2010 and its unbelievable how these critics didn't talk about all these reused bosses & animations from previous souls games and the god awful graphics that belong in the ps3 era. The only pretty thing in the game is the skybox and hence different skyboxes are used to mask the ugliness of the game's graphics. The gameplay is not half as good as bloodborne which is a game i liked for its aesthetic & freshness back when it released. Not to mention the artificial difficulty it has that makes the game quite hard at the start and the only way to get better is to grind for runes and memorize the bosses' 10 hit combo attacks with input reading and delayed attacks lol.

    Unlike other games there is no story at all. And if you tell this to souls fanboys they'll ask you to read descriptions and notes. This is not good storytelling. There isn't a quest log where you track your quests and apparently that's really innovative. I can't mention a single thing that this game does well and i still can't fathom how it won multiple awards. But i guess that's what happens when all other games released in the year were also mediocre. I'd take any of the recent bloated assassin's creed games over this trash any day of the week. With that being said i enjoyed a few of the main bosses and helping other players online to beat them.    … Expand

And of course there are no "two options", there is only one option, and one way to defeat an opponent. If You do a mistake You either die, or are severly wounded and will die upon next mistake. It's like a driving license test of a game … Expand

    This games is very confusing and tries to be so unique by not teaching us the basics of the game like the whole thing has no direction I don’t understand how they give this thing 10/10 .

    I sunk a few hours into this game so it gets a few points for at least keeping me entertained for a couple of days. After a while I realised I don’t have time for this, without a plot or some variety in gear and weapons to keep interested… meh

    Abusé, sur ps5 et le framerate degueulasse en performances, 45 fps , parfois 60 avec de grosses chutes, seule façon de profiter du jeu est de jouer sur la version ps4 . INTOLERABLE . Dégoûté du studio. Bref, prenez le sur ps4, c'est un super jeu , mais boycottez la version ps5 si vous tenez à vos yeux .

    Juegos que deja mucho que desear frente al apartado gráfico, parece de generación pasada, no le llega nisiquiera al uncharted 4 de PS4 este juego está muy SOBREVALORADO jugabilidad muy torpe la IA se confunde muy seguído y se queda parada como si nada. Me parece ridículo que le den una valoración de 97, para mí sería un 85 rascado.

    Game is needlessly hard with an expectation that you have played all their other titles. Additionally story is nearly non existent with a path system that means to make little sense. You can make the game playable by hacking around their anticheat software though so it's not entirely terrible.

    One of users tell "please play the game before writing a review about it" . Thats a very true advice. However i couldnt play this game more than 2 hours. that wasnt because the game was hard. i have RTX 2070 on my tower , and i have 1080 p monitör. i couldnt get 60 fps continually. mostly it drops a lot. i wonder What kind of set-up is there for those who give high scores to the game?

    Very overrated given the fact that the game feels like a demon souls remake with non-existing storytelling and repetitive gameplay. Developers need to make changes so that not all of their games feel the same with the exception of Sekiro, that was a true one of a kind masterpiece.

    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.
