    Would love to play the game, but Asian region PSN stores do not allow English language version of the game. This is despite advertising English version prior to release. Use this as a warning to anyone else playing from SEA, HK, JP, KR.. your game will not have any option for English menus ot interface.

    No journal to keep track of NPC. Combat is just bad. Dodge dodge dodge land a hit repeat. if you die twice you loose all your money,exp gems. i know many people find this type of games rewarding but most people dont have time for this kind of crap. if you want to loose hours just for 1 boss feel free. this is a waste of time for people that have 1-2 hours max per day to relax and play some games

    One of the most boring and overrated games i have ever played. I can deal with outdated graphics and even bad optimization, if core game/lore/story/open world is interesting enough, but this game has none of that. It's empty, lifeless and meaningless. Thankfully most people doesn't seem to like it, so hopefully this kind of games don't become mainstream ever.

    Broken game. Somehow the game de-synced my files from the cloud and overwrote them with a file that was 41 hours prior to my most recent save and I basically had to start completely over. I dropped down 80 levels and lost literally hundreds of items and equipment. I will never touch a souls game again. Complete waste of time.

I don't want to learn some move sets, so i could beat this random boss. Souls combat is like chess, you only have certain moves that you have to repeat over and over, that's the whole combat. Assassin's Creed and Witcher combat is way better, you have so much more freedom to choose how, where, when you attack, etc. Very disappointed in Elden Ring, i'm not saying they have to change anything, because clearly some people like this kind of gameplay, but i have feeling that it's more like minority. Strong doubt that most gamers would prefer Souls combat over Witcher combat.… Expand

Jesus Christ. Obviously lots of people were baited into buying this game, because "apparently now everyone can play it", who cares that 80% can't even beat first boss, am i right? Just cause it sold over million copies means absolutely nothing. 80% will never beat the first boss, 90% will never complete the whole game or even half of it. This is not what mainstream means. GTA 5 is mainstream, because people keep playing. 80% who bought Elden Ring will figure out that it's not for them and quit. And then of course in same video they need to bash Ubisoft games as much as possible, they just can't help themselves lmao. Arguments like "all Ubisoft games are same" are especially hilarious now when Elden Ring is literally copy pasting other souls games, in open world setting.

    By the way let's get this idiotic thing out of the way, no, all Ubisoft games are not the same, as much as you want it to be true, it's simply not true. Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs and Ghost Recon Wildlands are not same games as much as Ubisoft hater would like them to be. Simply not true. They might share some similar elements, but overall they are all completely their own thing.

    But in other hand, Elden Ring is literally re-using animations from 2016 video game. I have nothing against Youtubers giving their opinion about video games and whatever else. It's great. Just kind of sucks that lots of them have absolute trash taste in gaming, but it is what it is i guess. By the way that trash taste would be also complete fine, if they wouldn't be so butthurt over Ubisoft, that they need to sht on that company every moment possible. How about talk about games that are actually bad, like Just Cause 4? Fallout 76? AC Valhalla was solid, just deal with it okay. You don't need to trash this game, find something else.    … Expand

    It's such an unfriendly game. I don't like to play while watching the strategy, but Eldenring is so unkind that it is impossible to progress the game without looking at the strategy. It's not just a question of difficulty. It's just too unkind. It's almost as unfriendly as a 90's game.

You can’t just go anywhere, there is roadblocks from area to area with the occasional workaround to get into the area. The targeting lock is horrid, boss fight will frustrate you as you have to continue to run, dodge or block, most of the time will be spent spinning around trying to get a lock on just to spin forward because you can see the boss but the targeting system is designed to turn you 180 degrees if you miss the lock.

    Can’t use your map while freely roaming if an enemy has seen you, it doesn’t matter where he is, you will be forced to wait it out to use the map. Torrent is a gimped horse who turns like an 18 wheeler, however the game has instances where you have to use torrent to navigate the horrendous cliff system. The game is the easiest of the dark souls, game mechanics severely hurt this game, “git gud” means memorizing the path over and over and dealing with game controls. The bosses are scripted and ignore anything you do. The environment is a visual and nothing more, bosses ignore it. The target lock system is random and will have you targeting behind the guy about to bash your face in. Two guys running at you and a third stays back out of range and the lock on will select him, if not him it will be a random deer. Anything but the guy directly in front of you. Mechanics kill the fun. There is no coop multiplayer, it’s a pvp invite, even when using a password. Goty? Nope…this belongs in the trash.

The combat mechanics is also bad that its simply not fun and not challenging but totally unfair, not withstanding the fact that lagging and unresponsive input that is hardly accpetable as a ps5 game (I finished nioh2 with platinum so dun argue with me I am not good enough, this is simply not a well designed and configured game). I dun know how anyone could put higher than 6 in this game. The only thing perhaps make ppl think this is good game is probably we haven't had a fully open world ARPG game like skyrim for too long.

For this game, the marketing said that this game would finally be accessible to the average player.

    That was a deliberate and sadistic bold faced lie through and through. I have played a fair distance into the game and put up with many challenges, but eventually there comes a point that expecting the player to have millisecond reaction timing to overcome superly one sided fights is absolutely disgusting in terms of the gameplay design. The pacing of the levelling up is terrible after the beginner areas. The distances between the save points to the hardest areas of the game are unnecessarily long. Bosses and challenge opponents will suddenly have unbalanced countering range and abilities that are unavailable to the player.

    Overall, this game is a bait and switch for making content accessible to the wider audience. I agree with the many reviews on here that it entirely does not deserve the 10 out of 10 praise that so many are giving it. I acknowledge that so much of the content was beautifully created, but so much of it is locked behind a rage wall of gameplay.

    Do not waste your money on a console version. There are beautiful designs and content to enjoy, but it would probably be done better on PC in order to install mods to level the playing field as long as you don't care about multiplayer.    … Expand

Years later this gem drops and I have to be honest, I haven't been hooked on a game like this since Monster Hunter: World. This game is phenomenal, scary, beautiful, stressing, breathtaking, but most importantly.... FUN, which is something not a lot of games have nowadays. The world is expansive and so incredibly detailed. The weapons and armor look sick and the combat is really good, it kinda makes you want to master it since that is what the game is all about, fighting giant bosses. The target lock on camera can get a bit annoying if there are multiple enemies in an area but that's mostly a me type of thing. I have been playing for 55 hours so far and it feels like I haven't even scratched the surface of this game and I really don't want it to end. I really enjoy this game and I feel like this is perfect for newcomers like myself to jump in and lose yourself in the vast world of Elden Ring. It may look a little intimidating at first, but that is part of the challenge. That's what makes this game FUN, the challenge. That momentous feeling after killing Margit or Godrick or even the tree sentinel really gives you an indescribable sense of accomplishment, redemption and pride. Then you keep going, you're getting better, stronger, wiser, and more skilled and to me that alone really makes this game so FUN to me. This game has set a standard and I really do believe that this is my GOTY. I love you God of War: Ragnarok, but this game has really blown my mind.

    Very derivative with questionable enemy design where difficulty is achieved via bad design as opposed to organically occurring. Graphically mediocre. Lackluster narrative delivery as usual. Nothing worthy here, I’d just replay ds3.

    I'm glad that most people seem to agree that this game is awful and doesn't innovate on pretty much anything. Taking away quest log is not innovation. Ubisoft made better games in 2012-2015 than this crap and Rockstar is still king of open world games. Elden Ring is an absolute joke compared to single-player mode of GTA 5.

So it's very obvious that most people bought it, because of hype, tried it and just gave up.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I should start this review by saying I haven't finished Elden ring in fact I quit after I beat the fire giant because of reasons I shall discuss in the future.
    I Think this game is ok, definitely overrated at least a little as I don't think that this game is one of the greatest ever made. I have put about 160 hours into the game completing the majority of the content in the game mostly side content because i dont think that content blocks through difficulty is a good content block. I should say that i dont think there is a good content block, you should be able to beat a game you buy. I dont think that this game is unbeatable for me i could grind another 60-90 hours of the bloated game but i dont want to. Now with all of that out of the way ill get to the pro's and cons of ELDEN RING.
    -Pros-
    -Combat is fluid and amazing
    -Massive world to explore, with hours of content
    -Build Varity is massive there are almost 1000 different builds with differing playstyles
    -Some of the bosses are amazing experiences that i will remember for a long time
    -Meaningful interactions with npc's affect the world
    -Great story told through gameplay
    -Side content is for the most part fully fleshed out
    -Beautiful graphics

    -Cons-
    -Performance Issues on PC and sometimes Ps5
    -Although a lot of content is great this game has a little too much that feels really similar (Basically Bloat)
    -Getting lost is pretty common yes some people find this enjoyable but the majority of people will not as this can be counted as wasting time and some people have limited time to play this game
    -Boss Design is mostly found lacking this time as most bosses don't really have great move sets except for the Legacy bosses which i think are great
    -PvP balancing although this wont matter to most people
    -Accessibility Features are lacking here as the game even lacks basic colorblind features which was really surprising for a AAA game in 2022
    FINAL VERDICT
    I think Elden ring will be a game to learn from in the future for developers all around the world and is definitely game of the year material. I give this game a 9/10 For its world and gameplay    … Expand

    If you are an expat living in Asia or have the desire to play the game in English, tough luck because you will get the game in Chinese whether you like it or not. Sony will not issue a refund.

And to just arrive at the boss fight, you have to deal with a plethora of nuisances that deal unreasonable amounts of damage. And by late game, you can only really level up your character and weapons by killing the bosses that kill you in less that 10 seconds. What really aggravated me and lots of other Elden Ring players was the Godskin Duo, the most annoying boss in the entire game. They are near impossible to fight without dying immediately. I know Elden Ring has one of the largest and most detailed maps, good graphics, and is a great challenge, but it all comes down to how much fun and joy you can have. There is no fun and joy in this. Zero. It is mentally draining to play. You should only buy Elden Ring if you an absurd amount of time on your hands and if you hate yourself.    … 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.
