    This game is a joke. Bad performance and outdated graphics. You can't thrust any reviews anymore. This game brings nothing new to the table and after playing horizon fw it feels like a trip back in time

The world is totally empty, not vast and rich as some reviewers are saying, everything looks flat and same all the time.

    Dark souls but with stupid level gates and mechanics straight ripped from breath of the wild. Want to explore like the old games? Too bad because artificial difficulty awaits. I guess it's much easier to over inflate health bars than it is to create interesting encounters.

Also, From did NOT balance this game, seemingly at all. No matter what health, or defense, armor, etc. 1 shots are guaranteed, and at other times bosses can be 2 shot by you..... Its literally one of the least polished games ive played in decades maybe. This game has the worst input lag, and dropped inputs, i've seen...well since...sekiro. Sekiro dropped inputs constantly, this game doesnt do it as much, but the input lag is 1000000 times worse. Nearly unplayable. Bloodhounds step and summons exist to mask this.Anyone will agree after playing,this game needed more time in the oven. If you arent willing to admit that, you are lying, or From told you couldnt say anything negative, or youd lose access. Play on the horse and platform around for 5 minutes and that ALONE will tell you all you need to know. Input buffer has seemingly gotten worse (somehow) with subsequent updates. Dropping the score down to unplayable. I cant express how unfathomabley uncomfortable the input buffer is. Its unconscionable… Expand

Switched to PC and the port is even worse, there's no high refresh-rate support. Lots of stuttering issues, not to mention graphically it looks very bland and mediocre. Huge let-down.

Fun can be had and so can frustration as it is a souls game. The open world is not good at all. Its boring and feels like a chore while graphics are subpar due to from software not being talented enough to optimize games. And thats a fact. Wait for this0/10 just for the shills putting 10/10. Its not a 10/10 , its not a 9/10, its not an 8/10....its a 6. This game is just average at best. Fun can be had and so can frustration as it is a souls game. The open world is not good at all.

    liked all other From games but this one just bores me to **** giving this game a perfect score should be illegal. spent about 6 hours roaming around and killing stuff and still haven't found a meaningful piece of equipment I could use. Got about 200+ consumables tho. This is all this "open world" is: consumables. so so sad and boring...

    Doesn't feel like a next gen or ps5 game. Definitely not for everyone and becomes repetitive so quickly

    Игра отличная, но полита никак не должна влиять на видеоигры, и мне жаль что было принято решение не давать играть русским игрокам. И как это можно назвать, случайно не нацизмом?
    The game is great, but polita should not affect video games in any way, and I'm sorry that the decision was made not to allow Russian players to play. And how can this be called, by chance not Nazism?    Игра отличная, но полита никак не должна влиять на видеоигры, и мне жаль что было принято решение не давать играть русским игрокам.

    frame drops and game freezes when we play online, the difficulty is exaggeratedly ridiculous, it makes no sense, it looks like a Dark Souls 4, the graphics look like a game from 2018.

    If you've played dark souls then you've played this game before. I don't think it does enough new to validate its own existence and the combat is not nearly deep enough to carry it for the 45+ hours required to finish it.

    Also, the atmospheric storytelling from BB and DS is lacking a bit in this game. I've played all the from soft games and this is a strong meh from me

    The map sucks, the gameplay sucks, the graphics are from 20 years ago, the game mechanics are absolutely **** right at the beginning of the game I discover it and it transports me to another end of the map, where I can survive for about two seconds. An absolute disgrace, I don't understand how this can aspire to be game of the year. Total bull****.

    A buggy mess that is extremely overhyped because of childish fanboys. The souls community is probably the most toxic gaming community and they will worship any souls game as long as it is hard and repetitive. To them the quality of the game is irrelevant.

This game runs on a very old engine, overall it looks worse than dark souls 3, it runs best on ps5 compared to all other systems but there are still many issues in ps5, the frame stutter issue is extremely problematic for a game like this where good latency and smooth frame rates are essential in order to dodge attacks and act quickly, the game was visually downgraded after launch and none of the patches have fixed the major problems.… Expand

    I was fooled by all the good reviews! What's wrong with the game testers, please? I knew what I was getting into when I started Elden Ring: it's a Dark Souls 4 in an open world. I had a few hours of fun with Dark Souls 3, so I wanted to give the game a chance. So I got infected by the countless good reviews and bought the game yesterday for 60 euros.

Underground graphics - PS3 niveau - (even Dark Souls 3 was better by lengths!!!) many jerks and frame pacing problems. The fight is an absolute horror with it. The controls are so imprecise, and the HitBoxes are a disgrace to this series. No PS5 controller specific features implemented! I hope I can find someone to buy this game from me who has more fun with it. I am out, FromSoftware. In the future, only at budget price, or when there are demo versions (see Cyberpunk 2077, Project Red finally got it after 1.5 years). The gaming industry is so broken! What's wrong with the test magazines. A game in this technical state can't be a 10/10. Many other games have been devalued and punished because of this - but not so here. Dear game testers, please be objective again!!!… Expand

    Elden Ring foi uma experiência bem meme desde o seu lançamento. Joguei no PC e o desempenho estava péssimo, nos consoles em alguns casos não foi muito diferente. O jogo não me prendeu em nada, um mundo aberto bem genérico e preguiçoso.

    This is still a hard core game (even if the difficulty was « lowered » with an open world approach) that needs a lot of investment.

    Finally after 15 hours of game, you manage barely to beat Magrit with the close combat approach. It could be easier to play a magician but I don t like this approach. So you end rolling to avoid aoe strikes, then you strike max 2 times and you do it again and again After that, you keep wandering in a depressive world praying to not lose your runes.. Finally, I think this games could be great if you have a lot of time. For average gamer like me with 5-7 hours a week (this is not negligeable however ), it’s nonsense. Not very rewarding, a bit repetitive, a bit sad.. I wish I would have loved this game but I can t !    … 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.
