    The map is too big & there is no mini-map.
    Enemies are too strong and the game is unbalanced.
    The worldview is plain and unattractive, and there are many similar places.

    Should be named Elden Bo-ring, what a waste of money amd time, no story, no clear objective, terrible gameplay. I think there was something dirty on picking this rubbish as game of the year, is like part of a masochism therapy. No fun at all, even Lego games are better on gameplay

    This game is one of the best I have ever played! Combining all elements from previous Souls games and adding a lush open-world environment, this game has literally 1,000s of hours of engaging fun without any microtransaction BS most games nowadays seem to throw out there. Please invest in this game! You will not be sorry! ;)

    EXTREMELY overrated!
    Tons of reused assets, technically mediocre/outdated, repetitive enemies/bosses, very static and lifeless open world.

    A bit too easy and approachable for my liking from what I've experienced so far.. Also, no Ultra Wide Support without modding and offline mode? They've even gone the extra mile with black bars... Seriously?

    That alone gives this otherwise good game 1/10.

    Random game lacking story and objectives. Waste of time and money. The graphics are ok, the game play isnt fluid. Its made for people without sense of time and do not bother spending 10 hours roaming for nothing

    Souls game with 0 story. When you drop in a game you dont know were to go or what to do. So 1 strike could kill you...
    Must watch youtube to know what to do step by step...
    Hate souls games...

The adrenaline you get from the fights is so weird feeling, and after some Boss-fights my heart was thumping so hard and I was shaking so much I thought I was going to die, which was a strangely fun and felt especially rewarding after the 30 or so attempts it took to kill Radahn, but it still has a few "small" issues like re-using bosses, I didn't mind but I can see why that would be annoying to some. Also screw you to anyone who says the graphics are bad, are we even playing the same game??!!??… Expand

    Elden Ring has been one, if not the biggest disappointment in my time gaming by now.

    You cant take one step without running into any sorts of pop ups or frame drops at some points. (luckily the frame rate drops have almost completely been solved by now)
    Nethertheless the game does not care a **** about telling you where to go or what to do, so that you will be stranded in this gigantic world without a clue on where to go, which will then result in countless deaths due to you running into enemies which are way to overpowered.
    And once you find the right NPC to move on, you will be met with a cryptic information dump, which cant be processed quick enough, so that you will almost certainly end up on Youtube trying to figure out what the F to do.
    In my over 80 hours with this game I have only been able to kill the first five story bosses. 80 HOURS!
    And I am not even counting all the time used to look up things on the internet related to this game.
    I don‘t want to spend the little time I have left of the day being torn in half over and over again by a boss, which took me an additional 3 hours to find.
    The overall gameplay loop just consists of running around trying to level up, getting side tracked and finding a random side boss and finally trying to kill named boss for the next few attempts of dying, respawning, running back (whilst being constantly annoyed by regular enemies on the way) and then being killed by the boss again.
    For anybody who hasn‘t anything to do and has 200+ hours of free time: This is your game.
    Otherwise I can not recommend buying Elden Ring.
    Yes, the story is certainly great, the boss designs are cool, but it all comes down to the same frustrating same gameplay loop. Overall not a great game.
    If you do still consider buying a other Souls Game get Demons Souls Remake, it is way better without the open world aspect.
    And one last thing: This isn‘t meant to be personal in any kind of way. If you like Elden Ring its cool to me, but please try to accept my opinion on the game aswell.    … Expand

    Loading screen stuck at 100%, I was 80 hours into the game. Internet is full of such complaints. Video games typically have multiple auto save files in case this happens but this game doesn't. And you can't create manual save also. If you are considering to start this game, know that you might lose everything at any given moment.

    I have never played elden ring
    Well the video on the game is unrealistic and crap, and the people you're fighting are just pathetic, they basically copied dark souls and changed the smallest thing, the look of some of the fighting people, I don't know what they're called, monster's. I'm done with this, this is pathetic.

    These FROMSOFTWARE games have struck a chord with a particular type of gamer - and I daresay, not a classic gamer that have explored various genres.
    There's a writer named Dan Brown, whose fiction novels garnered A LOT of critical acclaim; but amongst those of us who enjoy a good sleuth, and have much experience with various crafts-people of the trade, we knew a charlatan when we saw him.

    There's a writer named Dan Brown, whose fiction novels garnered A LOT of critical acclaim; but amongst those of us who enjoy a good sleuth, and have much experience with various crafts-people of the trade, we knew a charlatan when we saw him.
    See, Dan Brown relied a on a 'rinse-and-repeat' style of writing - a 'writing-by-numbers', if you will. In essence, each story contained the same characters, plot devices, story arcs and climaxes. It was cheap - and, might I add, intellectually insulting. But despite the objective criticism of connoisseurs, the media machine was fully behind Dan Brown, and the Asch Phenomenon claimed another victory.
    So, too, to FROMSOFTWARE's rinse-and-repeat genre.
    I refunded all of my FS purchases safely within the allotted window before I was stuck with an intellectual insult.
    "Souls-like" should NOT be 'a thing'; more appropriately for the RPG-genre, "Fable-like", or "Witcher 3-like" - but this farcical, reskinned money-grab does not deserve a category unto itself.
    The power of marketing (and mass persuasion) indeed....    … Expand

    Too hard, grinding 6 hours to beat a simple boss a waste of time, open world feels empty and traversing was tiresome because how big the map was. Elden Ring is a major disappointment as someone who was a fan of Bloodborne.

    I love this game. My girlfriend wanted to play with me and I bought it for her to enjoy together. But the invasion system is crap to say the least. It's unbalanced. She is invaded by characters much stronger than her and they kill her with one or two hits and the invaders keep running away and if you try to ignore them they chase you with ranged attacks or magic (we don't have time to waste on them). We just wanted to have fun together and she was disgusted with the game, just because of those invasions. For me it would be a 10 in the rest of the sections, but if I can't enjoy one of my favorite games with my girlfriend, it's a 0. It's not just with my girlfriend, it's the same with my friends.    … 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.
