    I own all of the games in the SoulsBorne series and this one one of my favorites. So far I have spent around 80 hours and I am still surprised to find something new ever time I play. Highly recommended if you want a challenge!

    Don't let the marketing fool you, its still very much a dark souls game at its core, only with finely tuned and polished game play mechanics.

    I only started playing Souls games after Bloodborn was released, and have enjoyed them mostly. Elden Ring, however, may just be the best game I have played in 30 odd years of gaming. The balance between combat, learning and levelling is perfect. There are just too many brilliantly executed things to list, so I will leave that for the real reviewers.

    This is the best Game ever made! FromSoftware improved on every aspect of their beloved Souls formula and put it in a breathtaking and haunting Open World, that is so much much to explore.
    to be said, this is not for the casual Ubisoft game lover, but a true Masterpiece

If you're worried about a difficult experience it certainly is hard, but the freedom to just run off and do something else will help make it that much more bearable. To go prepare for another try. Highly recommend!

    Just wow. I’ve played the other Soulsbourne game maybe for a total of 5 hours, I just wasn’t really that into them. Elden Ring however, has me completely engrossed.

Elden Ring however, has me completely engrossed. FromSoftware hit a home run with this title. Games have flaws, and by no means is Elden Ring flawless. Those flaws however don’t affect gameplay in the slightest. If you’re able to ignore the **** on social media about this game, and just accept you’re going to die a lot until you figure things out, then this game will blow you away. Graphics may not be the best for a game released in 2022, but I haven’t found a game that just makes me stop everything and just look at the depth, the artwork, the sheer volume of detail put into these landscapes. Mob design is thrilling, I would be hard pressed to find the imagination going into these assets anywhere else.

    The story leaves a lot to your interpretation near the beginning and quest lines are hard to follow. I kept a notepad and pen with me to keep track of NPCs and locations. I haven’t done that for a game in years and it made me so excited. With that being said some quests left a bit to be desired, but the main story. I found myself wanting to find out more about locations and the main bosses. Gameplay. This is what it comes down to me for games. Bad story? If there’s amazing gameplay I can look past it. If a game has the best graphics the gaming industry has ever seen, but terrible gameplay, I won’t even bother. Elden Ring does not have the best graphics, or the best story (not saying either are awful, they are both great), but the gameplay just has you coming back for more. If you’ve died to a boss 20 times, you don’t give up because you think you have just figured out how to deal with his moves. You didn’t, but you try either way. If you get frustrated you can go off and fight smaller mobs and get stronger to meet that boss again. This is one of the best games I have ever played. That’s completely my own opinion, I was extremely happy with my purchase and the replay ability is there. So I will be enjoying this game for the foreseeable future.

    Absolutely fantastic and massive. This feels like the best parts of all of the Souls games wrapped into one with plenty of extras thrown in. Some of the most gorgeous environments I've ever seen. More than once I've thought, "there can't be anything over here", then discovered a massive dungeon. 30+ hours in and just about to finally venture past Stormvale Castle.

    Joguei por mais ou menos 120 horas, platinei e desfrutei de muito conteúdo do jogo, mas obviamente ainda há muitas coisas a se fazer. Foi meu primeiro Souls Like e não me arrependo de ter comprado. O mundo é gigante, detalhado, cheio de segredos e com uma arte visual incrível. Foi simplesmente fantástico a experiência que eu tive com o Elden Ring.

    Every red review that I have read is obviously a troll, the graphics are very flawless considering the fact that it is supposed to feel old school, this is a Dark Souls game.

    9/10 people that gave this game a 0 is just butthurt that this game is too challenging, so they opt for the easy alternative, Forbidden West.

    Clearly the best game I ever played and I started in 1987 on master system!
    Some minor problems such as assets being reused a bit to often but the world is so big you can t blame them.... And performance could be better / less clipping...
    But honestly, this is just nothing compared to the experience itself.

I’m currently over 20 hours in and am still finding new things at every corner. I have no doubt I will be playing this game for years. It’s important to mention to everyone who does not understand this style of game, you do not beat this type of game, you endure. It’s about learning from mistakes, every failure is a learning opportunity. I look forward to learning more with each session.… 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.
