При этом попасть можешь куда хочешь, из-за чего эпичный масштаб игрового мира ощущается по полной. 10 из 10

    И как же хорошо, что в помощь для исследования добавили аналог верной плотвы. Охх, эта мегаполезная лошадка крайне выручает и позволяет быстро перемещаться от одной точки интереса до другой. Я даже искренне соболезную тем людям в коопе, которые играют без неё и реально бегают до каждого данжа на своих детей ногах. Терпения вам там, ребята

    Horizon: Forbidden Purchase fans are here crying that their cookie cutter open world game isn't as loved as something that is probably twice its size and three times more exciting. Voting 10 both because of my personal experience and because the review bombers can suck on a big toe.

    I adore this game; it is probably FROMSOFTWARE's greatest game. The open world seems alive despite its size, the NPCs have meandering questlines, and the bosses keep me focused even after I've played for 100+ hours. I've completed the game once and am currently working on a second playing. If all of this remains true across several playthroughs, this may be my favorite game of all time.

    If you rush you can make it the hardest Souls game you've ever played.
    If you take it a bit slower, it will be similar in difficulty to the old games.
    If you take it very slow and out-level content it also fits the bit more casual player, although don't think it will be easy. The open world and "questing system" are the new benchmark for the entire genre. For me it's one of the best

    You can pretty much ignore all the poor scores if they mention technical issues, because not only are they already halfway fixed after a day, they really weren't that bad to begin with.

    The game itself might be as close to a perfect game as mankind can get. You are given a horse to explore this souls like world, but you will barely have time to ride it because there is just so much stuff
    You can pretty much ignore all the poor scores if they mention technical issues, because not only are they already halfway fixed after a day, they really weren't that bad to begin with.

    The game itself might be as close to a perfect game as mankind can get. You are given a horse to explore this souls like world, but you will barely have time to ride it because there is just so much stuff to explore. I have found myself saying "ok I will just ride to that town I've been heading to all day." But about thirty seconds into my ride I see a tomb door enticing me inward. The result is I spend the next hour fighting through some underground level to fight a boss and take am ash of war or a special item or a weapon.

    And this exact thing happens a lot, each time the enemies are totally different, the boss is totally unique and the loot feels well earned.

    Not only is the game addicting but it looks amazing. Sometimes I actually have to stop and just look at the scenery. The textures are a bit dated, as they are with all Fromsoftware games, but the ambiance and lighting totally steel the show and you entirely forget about dates textures. The questing system is by far the best I have ever seen in an open world game or From game. Sometimes you will be exploring and find a random NPC who will just have a few dialogue options and it seems like nothing important. But in reality, that NPC as a hidden side quest that is triggered by giving them an item and ultimately unlocks a major function of upgrading. Or else grants you a very powerful weapon. People who say the game is boring either haven't played a souls game and thus don't understand how to find secrets in these games, or are too quick to judge and didn't actually spend time doing anything besides slapping dudes as a hero.

    That's the next big thing in this game, the character creation is even more open than ever. If you played DS3 and wished for better magic and faith options you're in luck, they have been massively enhanced this time around and playing a mixed build for say faith and strength is a bit more interesting now.

    Don't trust 0/10, this game is probably the best game of the souls genre and a very very good game in general.

    The game is amazing. I spent 30 hours into the game and I haven’t even seen the second main boss yet. It’s just so addictive. You literally can go anywhere for hours without getting bored at all. No long cinematic. Just grab your sword cast your spell and be ready to die over and over. This is the best game of the year. This is a must play.

    Everything I was hoping for and more. Fromsoft just doesn’t miss, does it. Feels like every part of the world, the many stories of the characters and the combat was so meticulously planned. Beautiful to look at, fun and smooth to play and jaw droppingly filled with content everywhere. One of the greatest games ever made.

    A phenomenal game that truly shows how far FromSoftware had come as a developer. However, if you don't love the previous FromSoftware titles, you probably won't enjoy this game, as it handles itself differently then a lot of other games in the mainstream. Although, if you have wanted to try a FromSoftware game, then this is a good place to start!

    If you liked any of the Fromsoft games starting with Demon's Souls you'll love it. If you didn't, then perhaps Elden Ring is not for you. While it is more forgiving than some of FS's previous titles, it's still a "souls" game... Be ready to spend hours trying to figure out enemy's movement patterns and die a lot. If this does not sound appealing then again, this game is not for you.If you liked any of the Fromsoft games starting with Demon's Souls you'll love it.

Be ready to spend hours trying to figure out enemy's movement patterns and die a lot. If this does not sound appealing then again, this game is not for you.

    What differs it from previous games is the world, which is not only open but manages to avoid the ubisoft formula. There are very few icons on the world map marking locations, and they only pop up once a location is discovered. There is no filler in the shape of find-all-flags or collect-all-logs and so on. There are no objective markers, a journal, quest log, character dossiers, collectibles etc. You are expected to pay attention to what NPC's are asking you to do, often indirectly and often in passing. I found this refreshing, as most games these days seem to be going out of their way to force you to experience everything they have to ofter, and they will remind you of the things you haven't, every time you open a map. When you discover a new location in ER, it's your discovery, rather than an inevitable stop on a theme park ride prepared by the devs. I liked it, would recomend it to a friend.

    Best game ever!!! I give it a 10/10 because there's the cap. For sure it's not for everyone, but I'm that kind of player enjoying the hardcore game experience. The combat mech is straightforward but charming. I cannot find this kind of pure battle experience on most 3A games. Just cannot stop playing it!

There are tons of bosses that you can go after to get rewards to help you on your journey. From software(The Developers of this game) makes sure you are very well rewarded.

    The scope of this game is nuts. There's so many enemies and so much creativity in the open world. the art design is a masterpiece. There's also so much hidden in the game, I've spent tens of hours probably just on hidden locations. The accessibility is there too with the ability to farm through the giant world and also use Ash to help in challenging fights.

    Again, I'm 80+ hours in and I'm sure I'll be playing for another 40 hours at least.

    Elden Ring is an incredible open world game, so densely packed with content that I never got bored while still keeping the soulslike formula that made those games so well known.

    It is hard to explain just how big this game is, but it took me about 100 hours to complete the game (main story + exploration of most of the areas) and I can safely say that I never got bored. Usually when a game has this big of a open world that usually means that I get really bored after a couple hours, because it's not hard to make a huge open world, it is however very hard and impressive to make this big of a open world game that is this sprawling with content throughout. It is incredible how FromSoftware managed to so seamlessly transition their more linear style of gameplay in to this incredible open world. There are many different areas you can explore that are very uniquely designed, and not to mention that there is an entire world underground. I've heard people say that the graphics are bad, and I couldn't disagree more. This world is absolutely beautiful and so rich with content and lore that it never gets boring. The game doesn't hold your hand throughout the game like more of the modern open world games, you go through a little tutorial and then you just go wherever you want, which felt very freeing.

    When it comes to souls games, the gameplay is of utmost importance, and I can confidently say that the gameplay is very solid. It is very similar to Dark Souls, so if you liked the gameplay from Dark Souls then there isn't much to complain about here. There are a total of 10 classes you can pick from in the beginning which all come with different stats. Speaking of stats there are 8 main stats: Vigor, Mind, Endurance, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith and Arcane, which each upgrade a specific thing, for example Vigor and Mind increases your HP and FP respectively. You shouldn't feel too discouraged sticking to one strategy, because you can always respec your stats and try something different. There are so many types of weapons, spells, armors and shields that it can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming but what I did was just stick to one build, but if you like a lot of variety then it can't get much better than this.

    There are a huge variety of enemies and bosses throughout this game. There are so many bosses in fact that the bosses have tiers. There are field bosses which are just found by exploring the open world, then there are greater enemy bosses that are found blocking progress or guarding some important item, then there is the final tier which are demigods/legends these are the main bosses of the game. I thought that pretty much all the main bosses were really great, and a lot of them are just pure spectacle. However with the enemies and bosses also lies my one main issue with this game. I think the damage scaling in this game can sometimes be really bad. Some enemies (not bosses mind you) can have some insane moves that can one shot you, or take huge portion of your health, and it can pretty frustrating. However the thing that kind of saves this, is that there is pretty much always a checkpoint somewhat nearby, so you don't have to travel immense distances just to return to the area where you died.

    Not much can be said about the story that isn't a spoiler, but I thought the story was very interesting, though you kind of need to make an effort to try and understand the story. It isn't handfed to you, you need to sometimes read item descriptions or talk to certain NPC's to be able to understand some things. But I think overall the story and lore of this game is very interesting, and I recommend taking a little time to read about it.

    Overall I really liked this game, my only real problem lies with certain enemies and bosses that can feel really unfair, especially when there are two bosses at once. But the world is super fun to explore, the combat is very solid, and the bosses are so satisfying to learn and to conquer, and I didn't even touch upon the soundtrack which is absolutely amazing. This is not my favorite FromSoftware game, that still goes to Bloodborne, but it is definitely up there with the best FromSoftware games and in my opinion up there with the best open world games at least in a while.

    This is Miyazaki's magnum opus. Without question. I went into this game with very high expectations, and the reality still managed to blow me away.

I went into this game with very high expectations, and the reality still managed to blow me away. I haven't played an open world game this content-rich, with this much depth, since either Skyrim or Witcher 3. The world is so vast, there's secrets around every corner. Every zone has multiple sub-zones that you don't even know are there until you stumble onto them. There's even MASSIVE subterranean zones underneath the land's between that you don't even know exist until you find them. There's no invisible walls or plot devices that block your exploration. If you see something that looks cool in the distance, you CAN go there and explore it whenever you want, as long as you can survive the trek to it. The world building at work here, thanks in large part to George R.R Martin's input, is unbelievable and EXTREMELY refreshing to see in a FromSoftware title.

    Elden Ring feels like a slap in the face to the current game-design dogma that is plaguing the consumer base, where developers rush out half-finished titles lacking in content, only to properly finish the game later with paid DLC. I have put over 80 hours into Elden Ring so far, and I still haven't seen the credits. Seriously, there hasn't been a game that's taken me this long to finish, thanks to how content-rich it is, in over a decade. Easily GOTY material, depending on how good GoW:Ragnarok is. One of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. If you like the souls games, you owe it to yourself to experience Elden Ring. Even if you've only dabbled a bit into them before, you owe yourself a chance to experience it.

    El caballo es una gran incorporacion ya que puede darnos combates cabalgando sobre Torrentera, incluso muchos enemigos se facilitan si combatimos montados sobre este.
    Otra cosa genial, es como podemos moldear nuestro personaje a gusto, con una gran variedad de armas, hechizos e invocaciones. Si hay algo por lo que siempre se destacaron son las opciones en las que podes enfrentarnos a los Jefes.
    Los enemigos son duros y este juegos es un reto, pero con voluntad, paciencia y centrandote en la exploracion para luego avanzar en la trama podras evolucionar a tu personaje para hacer el juego mas accecible y disfrutable.
    Hay una gran cantidad de enemigos por todo el mapa y eso extraordinario.
    Es verdad, la potencia o calidad grafica no es algo nunca antes vista ni altisima pero si hay algo que siempre nos va a garantizar FromSoftware es que su apartado artisitco es increible y este si que deslumbra. Estamos ante uno de los grandes de la industria ser sin luz.

It's not definitely a 10 but because people are giving it a 0 which is crazy, i'm givint it a 10, normal vote would be 9. Play the game before saying it's empty.

    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.
