    After playing around 100 hours, this is definitely the best open world game I have played in a while.

    Elden ring is just an completed version of dark souls but it doesn’t make it bad although it makes the game real masterpiece

    اراها تاخذ تقييم 0 لان ليس بها لغة عربية ومتحدثين اللغة العربية اكثر من نصف مليار I see it taking a rating of 0 because it has no Arabic language and Arabic speakers are more than half a billion

    This has to be one of the greatest games ever made. Deep lore, fluid combat, grand setting and scale, amazing graphics, rewarding and challenging fights, and a great community. Highly recommend diving in!

    The game is really about making your own fun. It's not my type of game. Hope you have fun playing it.

    Parabéns a From Software por fazer esse jogo englobando as mecânicas da serie Souls em um jogo de mundo aberto cheio de vida e diversidade
    Melhor jogo de mundo aberto desde Skyrim

    One of the best game I ever played in my entire life. I'm a big Nintendo fan and this game is hard for me, but I always played all the From Software since King's Field. I'm amazed. I'm amazed as a game dev and as a player. The work done is brilliant, it’s incredible. The Art direction, the background of each faction, the mood of desperation gluing everything together.

    As a new souls player I was like many other players apprehensive about purchasing the game. The first 6 hours were tough but vital for the rest of my adventure in the lands between.

The first 6 hours were tough but vital for the rest of my adventure in the lands between. I died many times and didn’t gain any runes but I did enjoy the exploration and eventually I gained the satisfaction of killing a boss and some difficult enemies. After these 6 hours I experienced without doubt the greatest game I have ever played (2nd isn’t even close by the way). I’ve spent around 160 hours in the game and will be completing multiple playthroughs. Fantastic world design, exploration, multiple armor sets, weapons, skills, varied enemy design and some fantastic boss fights. My warning to new players is the game does not hold your hand and will not give you a clear path. You will have to explore and pay attention to the the dialogue for little clues and lore. If side quests interest you then you will need a guide. Some of the side quests are excellent and full of lore but easy to fail or get lost. I know some won’t like doing this but the lore, boss fights and rewards make it worth doing. I’m at the end of my first playthrough and have just defeated the hardest boss (optional) and already planning my next one. 10/10 Insane rating… Expand

    One of the best games ever made. Fantastic open world game with a non-specific path to follow. It's just amazing the quality of this game, perfect to introduce new players to from software games. Totally recommended

    Over the past decade FromSoftware have built a reputation as one of the most reliable developers around, and they’ve continued that form with The Elden Ring.

    In gameplay terms it retains much of the formula laid down by previous Dark Souls titles with players developing their characters to use melee weapons, magic or a mixture of both.

    In gameplay terms it retains much of the formula laid down by previous Dark Souls titles with players developing their characters to use melee weapons, magic or a mixture of both. The game is punishing, and it’s very easy to die, but the combat is incredibly satisfying and rarely feels unfair, especially since checkpoints are found more frequently than before.

    The biggest change is that, for the first time, FromSoftware have created a true open world. There was a concern that this could be to the games detriment, as the intricate world design has always been a huge part of what made their games so great, but “The Lands Between” are just incredible to explore. Unlike so many other games in the genre there isn’t an endless list of quests to complete, or icons to make your way towards, instead players are left to find the world’s secrets for themselves. And there are secrets to be found everywhere!

    If I was going to point out one negative it’d be the fact that many of the dungeons/catacombs play a little too similar, but that is just a small nitpick in what is a truly amazing game.    … Expand

    The game is amazing. It honestly deserves game of the year and game of the decade. Everything from the combat to the world building to the customization is phenomenal. You need to buy this game.

    Unfortunately the gaming community seems to be controlled now by the 'Youtube commentators', they randomly choose a game to like and then we're all meant to be gushing about how in love we are with it.

    It has ugly graphics and ugly game mechanics. NPC's walk these pathetic linear paths 5 minutes after you've killed them, how does that make an immersive game? It's brutally difficult forcing a massive grind, the UI is ugly and not optimised for PC at all..... It's a horrible experience and It will sink in popularity as quickly as it rose. What makes me even more angrier is people slate AC games for changing their mechanics but praise this game when the mechanics in new AC games are quite similar; leveling, gear acquistion, and boss fights... The difference is the animations for fighting and overal experience is dynamic and fluid... Elden ring is just clunky and repetitive. I hate it. It's for sadomasochists that like Gothic metal fantasy, the type of art that biker gangs put on their beer bellies above their hairy chests.    … Expand

    عالم مفتوح فاضي، ومليئ بالتكرار، قيم بلاي نفسه نفس الأجزاء السابقة، قصة ضعيفه اذا وجدت من الأساس، وسالفة النهايات المتعدده كذبة، الفرق بين نهاية ونهايه شيء طفيف ولا يكاد يذكر، لو بغيت حسنه وحده هي تصميم العالم.

    This game really forces you to play co-op
    OP enemies Ashes of war bs Boring story Go kill 1,2,3.. boss
    Absolute mess It's flooded with stupid mechanics it forces you to use
    And the compat is is just not fun
    I was waiting for this game cause I adored bloodborne But what a waste of hours playing waiting for for the game to grasp me

    Отличная игра! Было очень интересно исследовать каждый уголок. А ещё в игре великолепная стилистика, антураж. Всё очень атмосферно.
    Единственное, чего не хватало - более внятного сюжета.

After playing this game twice and sinking almost 200 hours into it, I can easily say it is one of my top five all-time favorite games, hands down. Do yourself a favor - buy and play this game ASAP.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is AMAZING. If you plan on playing this, do yourself a favor and try to think of it as a world that you wanna uncover in all sort of ways. There's always something new to discover, whether it's a hidden cave, a new city right under your nose, or a small gateway to a new world. This game has it all. The negative reviews are almost always because of the difficulty of the game, yes the game is difficult but it can become easy if you either learn how to gid gud or change up your character build which you can do mid game.
    The world of Elden Ring is just gorgeous, you can feel a history behind every section. I remember one time I found a normal enemy sitting on one knee in front of a grave and started thinking 'I wonder what's his story' or the one time I found another normal enemy standing in an abandoned city playing on the flute by himself. and speaking of music, the use of music in Elden Ring is so good and I won't spoil anything about that. just play the game already    … 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.
