    I beat the game after a 215 hour first playthrough. Two weeks later, my gaming has moved on but my mind hasn't. I'm still reading about ER, thinking about it, and watching videos about it. No game has a ever gripped me like this.

    One of the best games ever made—period. The culmination of everything FromSoftware has created over the past 15 years, and a true masterpiece in almost every aspect. This will stand the test of the time and be considered among the classics in video game history. Please play this game.

    I'm about 15 hours in and confident that by the end of my playthrough I'll consider this my favorite FromSoft game (I've played and loved all of them since Demons Souls). This is their formula at its best, adapted thoughtfully to an expansive and captivating open world environment. While it's not for everyone, I do think it's the best entry point for anybody new to the franchise.

    This is the new benchmark for open world games.
    Just to prove exploration, and mystery is enought to keep players engaged (and in awe) without the need for a cluttered world map full of icons for tidious tasks and fetch quests.
    Beautifully done From Sfotware.

The bosses are all of amazing quality and they are accompanied by the amazing soundtrack Yuka Kitamura is famous for. The game is hard but not unfair and it gives the players so many ways to approach a battle or even flee from one. Have 0 issues with the ps5 version.

    It goes down to preference in some cases such as boss OSTs, but this game is otherwise better than any other souls game in almost every way.
    This is one of those games that feels you with extreme joy of how good it's made. The invasions are a bit messed up because of exploits people currently do; other than that, GOD TIER game. Thank you, Miyazaki!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After the hell of Sekiro. I asked for a new Dark Souls. And they gave us what we wanted. An open world Dark Souls.
    Because it is the same game. They added some new things like the horse, jump, items, skills, etc but not so different like Sekiro and Bloodborne.
    Now talking about my gameplay. I didnt found the tutorial. Thats the worst way to start. After dying againts the Tree Sentinel, I followed the direction of the grace and killed Margit (first boss kill). Then I went to explore the map. And I found out I was playing horrible.
    Since I dont look for guides I didnt know where to go. Some enemies were easy but other were hard and this happens a lot.
    So, I did Limgrave, then Liurnia, then... oh no I did Al tus Plateau, and I killed Morgot. All before Radan because i though Caelid was a more difficult zone.
    Well, failing a lot of quest because of wrong paths. I managed to did some good quest in perfect order. And I am talking the hardest one, Ranni. Incredible to get an alternative final without a guide.
    But other quest were really bad because I.. killed them. Boggart was a thief, Hyetta was eating eyeballs, and Fia asked me to do it. In Fia and Boggart I lost something very useful but Hyetta give me what a iwanted the blood of maiden. I see this like a punish when the other games there was a reward for killing a villain character.
    About some ways to unlock zones. It sucks. It is very hard to do some of them even if they have two ways to do it.
    Anyway the bosses are beautiful. The big bosses are a very good experience. But when they bring them back it makes them mini-bosses is boring. And after dying 21 times againts Margit, the second one was Malenia with 15. The next ones are down 5. So I got a strong character (no mage) without knowing.
    I enjoyed this game a lot. Thanks From Software.    … Expand

    One of the best gaming experiences of my lifetime. Yes, there are flaws as with all games such as reused enemies. But what else can you expect out of a world this massive? And they managed to include massive unique dungeons and areas that are so enthralling, the repeated side content was almost a footnote. Masterpiece.

My biggest problem with most open-world games is that the combat becomes face-roll after the first 1/2 of the game. Although not perfect, Elden Ring's combat balance is far more tuned, and even at the very end, the player will encounter the most difficult challenges in the game.

    There are some annoyances. Portals that can teleport you to other side of map. Once was cute. After that It became obnoxious. The game is almost too much. Too much Dark Souls if that is possible. FromSoft threw in the kitchen sink with this one.    … Expand

Eventually you will become powerful. Even though I didn’t play the other games from this developer, I want to now, as I was sucked into the exploration, loot, character leveling, and getting good in the combat. One of the things I like about Returnal was the thrill that I could be killed at any moment. Elden Ring brings that thrill as well, and its refreshing because I was really only getting exciting thrills and emotion from online multiplayer games. As much as I love games like Spider-Man, God of War, Horizon, I never felt like I was going to have to overcome a challenge or walk into an area and be dead seconds later in those games. Returnal and now Elden Ring have been a breath of fresh air. They get me close to the thrill of a Destiny raid or an intense FPS online match, but in a single player game. Elden Ring does have multiplayer and it is easy to ignore if you want. My 10/10 is for the single player. I played the game solo and it’s one of my favorites of all time.

    I did not have any performance issues on PS5. If you are on the fence at least pick it up on sale, give it a chance to see if this type of game appeals to you. If you liked other games from this developer, this one is a no brainer.    … Expand

Do something else and then end up at said place 5 hours later. I've really played a lot of open world games. But this open world is a kind of opus magnum.

    Elden Ring, while retaining the spirit of Souls-like series, strongly reminds me of Morrowind. Not because of the open world, but because of the feeling of the unknown. When you see a monster - you have no idea how deadly it will be. When you see a place - you don't know what to expect and what you will find. When you explore the wilderness - you don't know whether it is a location forElden Ring, while retaining the spirit of Souls-like series, strongly reminds me of Morrowind. Not because of the open world, but because of the feeling of the unknown. When you see a monster - you have no idea how deadly it will be. When you see a place - you don't know what to expect and what you will find. When you explore the wilderness - you don't know whether it is a location for your level or whether you have gone somewhere you are not supposed to be. Everything seems dangerous. Everything seems exciting. Everything seems new.

    That aside, it is very much a FromSoftware game - hard, punishing, rewarding. In many aspects, it is very similar to the Dark Souls series with some interesting twists on it and a lot of quality of life improvements around the multiplayer experience (which worked from day 1, how cool is that?).

    Graphics... as many people rightfully complained, it is not something you would expect from a PS5 game and in some sense it is even losing to Dark Souls 3. But hey, this review is coming from a guy who plays lots of indie games and will gladly sacrifice graphics for a game which is fun to play, so that is not a concern for me personally.    … Expand

This game is being review bombed by users on here due to the difficulty and to them I just have to say, watch gameplay of a game before you spend $60 on it. While I personally don’t think the game is any harder than something like cup head or shovel knight, like those games it takes trial and error to succeed. If you want something easy and pretty play Horizon. If you still wanna give elden ring a shot but are unsure about the difficulty know that you can always summon help or grind in other areas.

    This game truly is amazing. It has lots of memorable moments, it's very original and extremely fun to explore. I'd give it a 9.5 because it kinda reuses a little bit too much enemy designs, despite already having an incredibly wide variety of them. Definitely a must play.

    This is the best RPG I've played since Skyrim. Do yourself a favor and give it a play. The game can be made as difficult or as easy as you'd like. Want it harder? Go at bosses alone. Want it easier? Go find golden seeds and acquire more / stronger potions before encountering the first boss + bring in a coop and use summons (very easy to acquire). Once you figure out the game, you can vs the first boss with at least 5 potions at level +2.

    Have encountered 1-2 bugs, Nothing game breaking.

    The game has a great sense of discovery. I've made 3 accounts and have found new stuff in each account scouring over the same early region. There is so much to do and so many unique items to find. I get excited when I walk up to a new location and wondering what enemies await me? What rewards can I receive here? Can I find a new ally?

    Coop is really smooth. Wish you didn't need to collect an item everytime someone joins you, but it's a souls game...

    Only REAL complaint: Graphics do seem out of date and textures tend to fade in and out sometimes. This doesn't bother me because I care more about gameplay and how it feels rather than the "best possible" graphics.

    My "second" complaint. It would be nice if there was a journal that kept track of current quest lines that you've encountered. It doesn't have to tell you where to go to continue the quest, but at least something that reminds you that you had a quest ongoing. This isn't a complaint, but makes things a bit easier when trying to complete quest lines.    … Expand

So far it’s optimization is not perfect on ps5(I hear it’s a lot worse on pc) but I am sure it will be fixed. I don’t get people who give bad ratings to the game just because it stutters. Jeez it’s been two days until release ,have some patience. It’s graphics are mediocre for a GOTY contender. I’d give it 6/10 or 7/10 . TBH i didn’t really expect this game to be the best looking game, but it doesn’t by any means look bad. People saying it looks like a ps3 game are simply ridiculous.

    The part that left me with a sour taste in my mouth( I wouldn’t say dissapointed because I already suspected it might be this way) is that it didn’t really bring too many changes on the previous combat sytems of the game. I would be nice if the combat had more touches of sekiro and bloodborne,not just dark souls, and also add the three types of dodging( rolling like dark souls,sidestepping like sekiro and dashing like bloodborne) and make them depend on equip burden and armor
    The combat system is still a masterpiece ,but maybe it’s mechanics are perhaps a bit,old?

    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.
