    This games amazing! Been getting lost in its open world aspect leveling up and finding random stuff. It’s such a great time. If you like FromSoft games, you know what you’re getting here and this one is the best they’ve done yet! Ok ok maybe not as good as sekiro, but I haven’t finished it yet so we’ll see. 10/10
    If you’re struggling in the beginning I’d recommend you Git Gud

    You should absolutely not listen to the review bombers. This game is incredible, and this is the first time I’m playing a fromsoftware game.

Bad reviews are all saying the same thing : performance issues (oh noooo the game dropped to 50 fps for half a second while loading a new zone, literally unplayable!!), way too difficult (that’s the point of souls like game, they’re very hard), empty world (I personally disagree, there are plenty of things to find everywhere. You look a bit in a random zone and oh look, and completely optional dungeon for you to explore!), and bad graphics (really? The texture are pretty good, but the art direction is amazing. The overworks looks fantastic). Overall, you should probably listen to the actually reviewers for once and understand that the people giving it a 0 because it doesn’t run at 900 fps at are exaggerating. Pc player with a mid range pc here btw, never once felt like a death was caused by a random lag spike in 10 hours of playtime. Only criticism I have is that mouse and keyboard controls suck and that you’re better off with a controller. Expand

    Completely addicting. It’s my first From Software game and I was worried about difficulty, but the open world format really eases the player in. Love the world, it is absolutely huge in many ways. Not not empty either. The game encourages you to wander, explore, then stumble on some ruins, a cave, or even mini bosses. It also runs great on the PS5. Not locked 60 fps, but the drops areCompletely addicting.

    Absolute masterpiece. I'm only 30 hours in and absolutely delighted with the world they created.

    The only flaw I see? This game needs a warning on its cover: "not another ubi-like game" No, seriously, I'm so tired of games that constantly hold my hand and treat me like I'm a child. Unlike FarCry, Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima, Assassins Creed and others, Elden Ring trust its players.

    No, seriously, I'm so tired of games that constantly hold my hand and treat me like I'm a child. Unlike FarCry, Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima, Assassins Creed and others, Elden Ring trust its players. Here you get to truly explore a world in ruins. It's a beautiful and mysterious land. You see a castle far away? An abandoned house? A cavern entrance? Maybe go take a look. And be sure you'll find a location that is so unique it doesn't need question marks or a compass pointing to it.

    Same for the non-player characters and their quests. They also feel unique and tailored to be memorable. Not the traditional "fetch x pieces of wood", "kill x boars" nonsense you see anywhere else. This game respects your time.

    What to say about the combat? Deep and strategic, simply put. Again, if you face your enemies like you would have done in Assassins Creed you're in for a world of pain and frustration. Combat in Elden Ring is all about observing, learning and committing to each and every action you perform. Take for instance Tree Sentinel. Bastard demolished me for at least two hours, but I eventually killed him, though not before I learned his attacks (and took some good rest so my brain could absorb what I learned). And that's how it was meant to be. Tree Sentinel is now a satisfying memory of a challenge I overcame. See you again in NG+ my friend.

    Sadly this game is not for everyone, and it's fine. Just know what you are getting in before you buy it.

    If you like hard games, worth the money.
    If you don't like hard games avoid this game.

    Absolutely amazing game. The open world souls game starts here. Immersive and memorable giant open world. I had a rough start but I remained patient and willing to learn the mechanics and am still mastering my character and his style of destroying enemies. This is a game that will be remembered 30 years from now and be regarded as one of the best games of all time.

    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.
