    The game is still full of glitches but once they are all patched this will be one of the greatest games to ever exist

    It’s my first FS, I liked the genius design of every zone of the game and the feeling when discovering a new area. Thanks to FS for this master piece.

    This game is the best game ever made, nothing tops this and probably won't in the near future either. This is the MAGNUM OPUS of gaming.

    One of the best games i have ever played
    the background and lore of the game. Each of the locations, objects, characters are in one place for a reason.
    Elden ring has the best "feeling" combat out of all of Fromsoftware games.

    The game is absolutely amazing. The graphics are great, the gameplay is challenging and rewarding, as you should expect from a fromsoft game. What's not to like about it? Sure there are fps drops here or there, but it's not that bad, it hasn't taken away from the experience at all. these negative reviewers are just babies.

    12 hours in and I’m not even close to being done. Do not worry about optimization that’s really only on pc and somewhat on Xbox. The ps5 is the best way to play and oh my god is it a masterpiece of gaming. You can do what you want at any time you want. It is difficult yes but manageable it just takes time. The people complaining about it being too hard just don’t have enough patience. It’s12 hours in and I’m not even close to being done.

It’s not a copy paste of Ds3 the people only played like 3 minutes of Both games. It’s a great game. The optimization IS NOT A PROBLEM ON PS5. The people talking about it are probably talking about the pc port. They just don’t realize they are on the ps5 copy of the game Expand

    the video game is good. i like the horsie and how you can swing your sword around. i'm only docking 0.0000000000001 points because there is a lack of monster trucks and hot babes in this video game. overall, very cool. good amount of water.

    This is definitely the best game I have ever played. From software didn't disappoint me.

    The world design is excellent. You would find much content by exploration, yet the world still feels big and open, instead of being flooded by many trivial populations. The enemies and encounters are the most difficult among the entire SoulsBorneSekiro series. However, there are more checkpoints

    The enemies and encounters are the most difficult among the entire SoulsBorneSekiro series. However, there are more checkpoints to reduce repeated travel time so that you can challenge the difficult bosses more conveniently.

    Enemy behaviors are very dynamic. They would do a lot of actions based on the player's actions, which provide both opportunity and risk.

    The only flaw I see is the tutorial phase. At the very first 30 to 60 mins there are many tutorials but not enough content. It felt a bit dull during that period.

    One of the best games i ever played Fromsoftware again with a masterpiece that sets a standard in open world design.

    At first, I was skeptical about From Software adding an open world to this game but I have to say I am very happy that they did because there are so many meaningful rewards around every corner. Like, unique things to find that can be game-changing and a lot of it is optional or hidden. It is definitely one of the best games that From Soft has ever made.

    This is the best from software did with the perfect souls like game from they experience, what a wonderful Open World they made even you not get boring like other open world games , it doesn’t make you stop to exploring because every time you found something new and interesting, and even the bosses and the mini bosses and enemies feels amazing.

    If you like souls, this **** is the next level. Adding jump and horse increases the number of level design possibilities in an incredible way.

    Whatever performance issues may exist have in NO way prevented me from sheer enjoyment of this title. It has improved on prior Souls games in so many ways.

    The addition of the various methods of fast travel and your spectral steed are fantastic. I'm 3 hours in, and frankly I don't see myself putting it down any time soon.

    really rate this gem for minor optimization issues.

    The game is incredible one of the best I've ever played.
    a living open world and the best implemented that I have noticed in a video game, the combat is very organic.

    If you enjoy the Soulslike Genre of video games, this is the ultimate version of said experience. Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R. R. Martin built a vastly unique and explorable open world where every corner is packed with content.

    Must buy!.

    El juego está muy bueno, no es dark souls y de ahí toca partir, los gráficos están buenos y el mundo abierto es interesante de explorar, como todo juego no es perfecto desde su lanzamiento, estoy seguro que irá mejorando.

    Posiblemente la culminación perfecta de la saga soul, juntando aspectos perfectos de cada uno de sus juegos anteriores y puliéndolos al máximo para lograr ser un obra maestra, uno de los mejores juegos de la historia moderna y el mejor juego post COVID hasta el momento

    GOTC Game of the century. I have played other souls games and it is pretty similar to the rest. There is not much improvement in mechanics or graphics, but that is not the reason one plays these kind of games. The changes done to the basic formula are good.

    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.
