    the video game is good. i like the horsie and how you can swing your sword around. i'm only docking 0.0000000000001 points because there is a lack of monster trucks and hot babes in this video game. overall, very cool. good amount of water.

    El juego se desenvuelve mejor en Playstation 5 que en otras plataformas, por lo mismo es la mejor experiencia, por otro lado, el mundo del juego es muy completo y variado, estoy aĆŗn subiendo nivel y tiene un progreso muy suave y entretenido

    Outdated graphics, very bad optimization on both PS5 and PC (yes i have both versions), PS5 runs a bit better, but still not perfect.

    As a fan of SoulsBorne games, I am around 25hrs in and this game is basically DS set in a boring open area. The core mechanics are copy/pasted from DS, still retains the dated and laggy wonky controls and erratic camera. This might be the worst case of media overrating a game yet.

    One of the best games i have ever played
    the background and lore of the game. Each of the locations, objects, characters are in one place for a reason.
    Elden ring has the best "feeling" combat out of all of Fromsoftware games.

    The optimisation is bad. Boss fights are quite good, but there are always FPS drops on PS5. I recommend to not buy this game until it will be fixed at all.

    game has been in development for years, and when it finally comes out, it leaves a considerably large community of Ultrawide users out by not having resolution support. Or what could be worst of all, is they intentionally added 2 black bars on the side of the screen, as many people on reddit and forums have proven.

    Awesome. Just awesome. This game is the epitome of from software creativity. If you enjoyed Dark souls, Bloodborne or even Sekiro you will like this. Don't listen to all these noobs saying the game is bad, just because they suck at it.

    It has problems and should run much better, but it really isn't performing worse than bloodborne at release. Ignore the idiots like GamingIsDying and RtsBo who were determined to hate it before it ever released.

    This game is a pile of garbage. The greedy developers copied and pasted the same animations from Dark Souls 3. The developers were too cheap and lazy to make new animations.

The greedy developers copied and pasted the same animations from Dark Souls 3. The developers were too cheap and lazy to make new animations. The animations and graphics are very outdated for a next gen AAA $60 game. The AI is incredibly stupid. The developers were too greedy and lazy to make sophisticated AI, so they just gave the enemies too much health in a pathetic attempt at making the game difficult. This formula is getting so old. FromSoftware games aren't even that hard. All it takes to beat their games is learn the enemy patterns, dance around and have patience when attacking. There are clipping issues. I saw a monster's entire head magically go through a solid wall.

    There is nothing to do in the open world. Just an empty space full of grass, trees, and rocks. That is so boring to explore. Speaking of rocks, I tried jumping off a cliff so I can land on the other cliff, only for my player to get stuck in between and die. This awful bug could have easily been prevented had the developers add climbing mechanics. The developers are so lazy, they can't even add basic climbing mechanics. In what world does a modern AAA open world game lack climbing mechanics? That is embarrassing. It gets even more embarrassing when I encounter more game breaking bugs. I called my horse and hopped on It, only for my character to magically float in the air and stay stuck there to die. I experienced this bug multiple times. The physics are a joke. The plants don't even react to your movement, a basic feature many modern open world AAA games have. Even indie developers add that feature.

    The PvP multiplayer is complete trash and unbalanced. I had a player kill me, only because they had a character 20 times more powerful than mines. This game gets more unfair when I had an enemy AI killing me with a spear that was 5 inches away from my face. The game punishes me for terrible and lazy game design. $60 is too expensive for this poor expensive of a game. It is recycled trash and a cash grab. I don't recommend this game at all.    … Expand

    Game journalists,, how dare you with a top Critic Average of 97 in this game? The game has a lot of problems. Inside open world, there`s a frame drop between 20 to 15 I guess, even playing on ps5. How dare you give alot of 100 in this game? Were you bought for From software? This game seems to be so nice, but 100 ? My gosh are you crazy? The problem about Fps looks like cyber punk.

    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

    One of the best open world games in years. Instead of giving the player a map filled with icons and repetitive tasks the world is just full of things you want to see. It encourages exploration in a way that very few games do. It's the cure for open world fatigue and something I'd recommend to anyone.

    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.
