    Best game ever made from the best developers. No Cap or **** in the game, just top notch quality gaming content. A very undrpriced game!

    I finished the game in 162 levels and 148 hours, even if the graphics are not very good, it is acceptable, but the art direction is very good, there is a very large playground, a lot of challenging bosses and a lot of danger, I liked the game very much

    Best game of 9th generation so far, there is only one problem, the game is not balanced in many cases, other things just perfect especially gameplay and art design.

    Man. My favourite game always was Morrowind. Now, Elden Ring is kinda Morrowind on steroids. F-king great exploration. Dpn't know what to say more. "Game hangover" will be the biggest in years. :(

    If you have not played this game then you're a dumbass.

    Most amazing and immersive open-world game. Gripping lore that keeps you on edge to learn more.

    Combat encounters are intricate and an adrenaline rush.

    Sense of exploration is unmatched.

    It's a gift from the heavens.

    Look up above and glimpse the stars. OHHHHHHHHHHH!

At moments you're brought to unimaginable highs, and just as quickly it can plummet you to the bottom. The developers certainly set their ambitions high with their first open world game experience, and to give them a lot of points, they hit the mark exceedingly well. Lots of mystery in things to find as you explore, a good deal of freedom in the order in which you complete tasks, and lots of diversity in the various landscapes you encounter along the way. The game is quite simply beautiful; even with unsettling enemies or grotesque environments, there is always a level of charm to be found almost anywhere you look. This ambitious approach was far from perfect however. There's a constant lack of direction throughout the game to an unfortunate fault, as from the beginning you're given a poor idea of where you're supposed to go or what you're supposed to do.

    While I also love hidden secrets, some tasks you have to do in Elden Ring are exceedingly convoluted. The worst being a key item where you find one half in a relevant area, and the other on the other side of the world hidden in a pot at an unrelated village. Or to finish one quest line you have to find an invisible wall to a cave across the world from where the quest started with no direction. These things simply don't translate well to an open world experience without at least some sense of direction, and it's something I'm hopeful they improve on with the next title.

    The difficulty of the game will always be a topic of debate, but I must reference that even the director himself apologized that he believes they made the game too difficult even by their own standards. This did leave me unable to play the game by myself and thus I only played with allies. In a way this did create a unique experience I'm glad I had, minus the full month the game's multiplayer way broken, because there was a level of charm in traversing the open world with a party and working together to take down the various challenges before us. Though most of that joy left by the end with the game's highly unbalanced endgame, but if you want more detail on that there are plenty of articles talking about how flawed that was. The rush of finally clearing a difficult boss is at its finest here, but it is a shame so much head bashing is often required to reach it, especially towards the end.

    The last point of critique is the story. The lore of this world and the characters in it are actually quite amazing, and the cutscenes are beautifully animated and draw you in every time they happen. I do however wish the story was a little more transparent; rather than reading item descriptions or getting tidbits here and there, I wish the story was told to me directly. With cutscenes already so beautiful and stunning, I wish they could have told me about the story I was experiencing as I was already drawn in. Perhaps the maiden could have told me more as I rested at the sites of grace, or Gideon could have talked more in the library? If the creators wrote such a wonderful story they should have held it with pride, not left it to be discovered by independent research.

    Ultimately the thing I wanted more from this game was transparency. Knowing where to go, what to do, knowledge that weapons matter more than stats (or a better tutorial in general), and of course a better presentation of the story. This lack of transparency in all these factors prevented this game from being a masterpiece to me, but with all that being said, this is still a very good game. Exploring the open world, finding hidden secrets, taking on exciting bosses all with a companion at my side brought a level of charm to this game that captivated me for many nights. If I think of Elden Ring not as a mark of what they've achieved, but rather as a starting point of their new era, I can only get excited. If this is where the starting line is I can only imagine what's around the corner, in fact I firmly believe they can only improve from here. They've nailed so many things perfectly, and if they can refine the lacking components just a little more, I think their next entry could hit a mark of mastery. Elden Ring is a journey worth going on, and while not perfect, definitely delivers a unique adventure with lots of joy to be had. I look forward to what comes next on what is hopefully only the beginning of greater things to come.    … Expand

    2/3 of this game is genuinely fun, until the devs decide that the only way to make this game difficult is by adding **** OP attacks and pot luck gameplay.

    I wanted to finish the game prior to writing a review and without using online guides but it proved very difficult and ended up googling some progression points to just stop roaming around aimlessly.

    To start, Elden Ring is a great game by all means and is a nifty throwback to the days when you needed to buy strategy guides and read the instruction booklets that came with games. There    I wanted to finish the game prior to writing a review and without using online guides but it proved very difficult and ended up googling some progression points to just stop roaming around aimlessly.

    To start, Elden Ring is a great game by all means and is a nifty throwback to the days when you needed to buy strategy guides and read the instruction booklets that came with games. There is definitely some artificial difficulty here that can be more annoying than fun. Enemies obviously lack stamina gauges and many bosses will just spam you into oblivion with military level missile tracking. some enemies will spam projectiles at you that hardly ever miss and your only chance is i-frame dodging, such is the nature of Souls games. However, here is slightly different as in games past enemies would leave openings for you to exploit, good luck with that here. Most bosses I ended up "cheesing" to just get clear.

    There is a 100% pacifist playthrough that essentially exploits the AI's need to spam you even at it's own detriment. Essentially the player would lure the boss to a cliff of some sort and "assist" them on their way off. The funny thing this is seen as a "challenge" playthrough when it's actually the most efficient way to defeat the bosses as most of the time you won't be getting within 10ft of the boss without being obliterated by endless AoE attacks. So many times I resulted to spamming rot arrows at a boss from a cliff he couldn't reach (screw you Fallingstar Beast).

    Then there is the issue of easily missing critical game components. For example, Roderika is a Tarnished you will most likely find semi-early in the game but if you aren't gung-ho about harassing her for dialogue you won't get one of your first ashes AND later at the roundtable a key NPC for making ashes stronger. There is no indication that you need to speak with her multiple times in the slightest. A lot of quests in this game are just like this; easily missed UNLESS you are constantly researching with a google browser open and I feel that's a damn shame. Quests are just so disjointed and NPC's are just so vague when offering help it can be quite annoying more than fun. There are times when you find a riddle and the only way to progress is to talk to another NPC "merchant" you met early in the game and since have met about 70 other NPC since, how people figure this nonsense out is beyond me.

    Other than that, boss battles are generally fairly amazing and the lore is simply amazing. You'll have to piece the story together yourself but it's there. The world is huge and it is amazing fun finding new things constantly. There is a great deal of detail and you can see where the devs put their passion. A good game where "strategy" is key and even if the strategy is "cheesy" it's still a legit strategy. Remember everything is fair game in war.

    helpful tips:
    GET A BOW - I don't care what class you play, bows are awesome and a great tool. You can use them to snipe enemies and lure enemies out of groups and generally have a bigger range than even magic. You can pick up a long bow early from the husks at the roundtable hold for 1000 runes and buy standard arrows from most world merchants fairly cheap.

    Husk Merchant - located in the roundtable, has some very useful items for sale and inventory expands when you bring Bell Bearings back, some of the most useful ones being Smithing-Stone Miner's Bell Bearing which allows you to buy infinite 1-3 smithing stones and Iji's Bell Bearing for somber smithing stones. There are better ones and ones that allow you to buy higher smithing stones, too! the bells have no other use so make sure to always hand them over to the husk merchants.

    Exhaust NPC dialogue - just do it, speak to every NPC until they start to repeat themselves. Sometimes later, they will offer helpful advice only if you met the interact prerequisite.

    Ashes - Use them, they are great and make sure to upgrade them in the roundtable (via Roderika).

    A good Offense is sometimes the best Defense - Here it's absolutely true. sure, it's great to avoid damage but just defending WILL get you killed.

    crafting items - so many useful items to craft...namely a cure for poison (which you will be poisoned a lot). You expand your crafting abilities through cookbooks. One that comes to mind is the Armorer's cookbook [2] which you get from the coastal merchant in western Limgrave.    … Expand

    Absolutely in my top 5 games of all time. I platinumed this game, but only reason it is not a 10/10 is because I think they should still have a difficulty setting. A buddy of mine does not like souls like games because of the difficulty and it would have been nice to play with him. Had there been some sort of difficulty setting then maybe the game becomes more accessible for others

    This game is a masterpiece! Better than Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3. Which is very tough to beat both games. Elden Ring capture rich and beautiful architecture and gorgeous with dark fantasy. It’s easier to get into and very assessable to new coming players. I’ve been playing Souls since DS1 on 360. But this game is on whole another level. I’ll give it 100/10

This game is hard. Do not approach your enemy without understanding that this world wants to KICK YOUR ASS. But as you progress your attributes and your weapons, it is honestly one of the best experiences a game can throw at you. You will feel absolute euphoria when you kill that boss that was destroying you. So, with all that being said, I recommend picking up this game. It’s so refreshing to see that a game lives up to AND exceeds the hype surrounding it. Easily GOTY and I’m here to stand behind it all the way.… Expand

The targeting lock is horrid, boss fight will frustrate you as you have to continue to run, dodge or block, most of the time will be spent spinning around trying to get a lock on just to spin forward because you can see the boss but the targeting system is designed to turn you 180 degrees if you miss the lock.

    Can’t use your map while freely roaming if an enemy has seen you, it doesn’t matter where he is, you will be forced to wait it out to use the map. Torrent is a gimped horse who turns like an 18 wheeler, however the game has instances where you have to use torrent to navigate the horrendous cliff system. The game is the easiest of the dark souls, game mechanics severely hurt this game, “git gud” means memorizing the path over and over and dealing with game controls. The bosses are scripted and ignore anything you do. The environment is a visual and nothing more, bosses ignore it. The target lock system is random and will have you targeting behind the guy about to bash your face in. Two guys running at you and a third stays back out of range and the lock on will select him, if not him it will be a random deer. Anything but the guy directly in front of you. Mechanics kill the fun. There is no coop multiplayer, it’s a pvp invite, even when using a password. Goty? Nope…this belongs in the trash.

    I rarely post negative reviews but I feel like I need to in this instance.

    I was super excited for this game, I would say it was my most anticipated release of the year and it was the main drive in me purchasing a PS5 before playing. I’m extremely disappointed with it.

    I was super excited for this game, I would say it was my most anticipated release of the year and it was the main drive in me purchasing a PS5 before playing. I’m extremely disappointed with it. There is no explanation as how to play, other than minor hints and a short tutorial and these are not enough as it’s quite a complicated. I put hours into researching how to actually play the game before being able to do so, which is not really what you want from a video game where you play to have fun and essentially switch off from real life. A Skyrim type intro would have been better to assist new players in learning the world and it’s dynamics. I’ve put hours and hours into this and feel as though I have gotten nowhere and it’s pretty much got to the stage where I feel like Im forcing myself to carry on playing. I have played the Soul games on PS3/PS4 and enjoyed these (with the exception of Bloodbourne, which I really did not like). Elden Ring, for me, really did not hit the mark. The combat and controls feel clunky and slow, which is not what you expect from a brand new game. You end up getting killed constantly pretty much for this reason. With the controls, it feels like you are playing in 2002 on a PS2 and not 2022 on a PS5.

    There are bugs (as you would expect), which I normally can overlook (I played Cyberpunk 2077 at launch and still played even though it was buggy as hell) however, I can’t overlook dodges continually not registering in combat and being killed because of this. When you are killed you drop all of the runes you have grinded for (you need runes for upgrading and purchasing) and are out back to wherever the last grace site was. It’s beyond frustrating. There’s no real indication as to where to go, so you are continually walking around lost. Sure, the grace sites point to where you should be going, however, if you miss one you are pretty much on your own and they almost always point towards some boss or other which is pretty much impossible to beat and you end up getting yourself killed or you have to run away and you’re lost again. This was also marketed very much on the fact that George RR Martin was involved in the writing. The sorry is lacklustre, stupidly complicated and nothing special, nothing is explained and you feel like you have no idea what the hell is going on. It really is not something which you would expect the creator game of thrones to have written (although he was involved in writing the final GOT tv series so maybe I should have expected it to be a bit rubbish)

    The scenery is amazing and it looks just as you would expect a true fantasy game to look, however it was not enough to keep me playing.

    TLDR: Overhyped, mediocre, complicated for the sake of being complicated, no direction and overall just crap    … Expand

From the first moments you step out into the ever expensive and beautiful open world that was Taylor made to be explored from every nook and cranny, you’ll be instantly Smitten by the vast array of ways you can traverse hilltops, mountains caves and other enormous areas fraught with danger! What I truly appreciate the most, is the array of different combat styles the game lets you seamlessly traverse through. Weather being dual welding samurai katanas, Giant great swords, bow and arrows are mystic ancient Staffs to do magic damage Do you enemies from afar, the amount of different character builds one can create is quite endless! The amount of enemies and hidden bosses within the game are quite mind blowing, and there’s no telling where are you stumble upon majority of them as you’re out exploring this beautiful world

    But the game isn’t without his flaws. The PS5 version I played had A number of technical issues biggest one being pop ins from the grass and foliage. There were a few occasions where I had severe frame rate dips in certain areas within the map which would lead me to restarting the game to help resolve the issue. I’d say one of my minor grapes with the game will definitely have to be the cost at trolling players do with placing signs in very tightknit spaces or within chess greatly obscuring the interact item which was quite annoying from time to time. But what else can you expect from a souls like game. Lol

    All in all, is an amazing game and one that I highly recommend to anyone who May have had a passing fancy interest within souls light games. This is definitely the one that I highly recommend you start with first. And don’t let the talks of it being a very difficult game swear you, bear through it learn from your mistakes and persevere through and you’ll find a true diamond in the rough with this modern day classic! 9/10    … 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 is an unmissable, must-play, gaming experience with surprises galore.
