    The open world feels weird at first since it’s a From Software game. It is the best game ever made.

    The game deserves all the praise. Most of the 0 scores are just review bombers/people who haven’t even played the game. Boring open world? Bad graphics? Those saying that clearly haven’t played it. This game is stellar and a masterpiece and the graphics are great. Oh no a game that can be challenging amongst 100s of games that hold your hand. smh

    24hrs in and I can’t get enough of the exploration, wide range of weapon customisation, armor altering, crafting, real battles that make you feel something, NPCs, variety of different enemies, bosses and it only feels like I’m scratching the surface.

    Please ignore all of the idiots giving Elden Ring a 0/10. This game is absolutely amazing. The open world is breathtaking. Miyazaki has created another masterpiece. If you love Dark Souls then you must buy this game right now.

    A souls game that is wildly difficult but fair when compared to other modern fromsoftware titles. Most areas can be taken on or explored right out the gate and the world is full of secrets from rare items to sweet looking gear. First time players will be happy to know this is the most approachable souls game to date!

    It's a great game, with a lot of things to do, an immersive map that encourages and rewards exploration while keeping the dark souls mechanics. In my opinion a perfect game, game of the year.

    Awesome game. I see people complaining that this game is overhyped and doesn’t deserve the ratings it gets but I believe all that to be nonsense. This game is easily of the best releases from the past few years.

    Jogabilidade souls tá ótima. História do Miazaki com ambientação George RR Martin tá muito massa de explorar. E o jogo é extremamente longo. Simplesmente sensacional.

    And the amount of contend and replayability is stunning. I already know that I am looking at thousands of hours of gameplay in the future.
    Anyone with a clear and open mind who wants to chellenge their strategic approach and dexterity or/and is in search of a piece of art that widens their horizon and fantasy, have to pic this up!    … Expand

    if you didnt enjoy the former souls games you will not like this one either .

    Great game, pleasant and sometimes oppressive atmosphere, the world is interesting to explore! There are a couple of repetitive tree bosses, but everything else was a pleasant surprise. I, as someone who has played all the leading Souls games, is delighted!

    TLDR: Elden ring is FromSoft’s best game this **** is **** Incredible. 10/10 I explain why below.

    The world of Elden ring is really **** huge with tons to do man, i ain’t even kidding or lying to you the world feels so natural and doesn’t even got that feeling of “oh a game dev put this **** here whatever” and it’s got so many hidden locations in this **** man it’s really a marvel fr.    TLDR: Elden ring is FromSoft’s best game this **** is **** Incredible. 10/10 I explain why below.

    The world of Elden ring is really **** huge with tons to do man, i ain’t even kidding or lying to you the world feels so natural and doesn’t even got that feeling of “oh a game dev put this **** here whatever” and it’s got so many hidden locations in this **** man it’s really a marvel fr. the graphics are really great too overlooking the second region of the game after clearing your first legacy dungeon is staggering, now it ain’t gonna be for everyone, a lot of people like colourful **** and all that, but this game isn’t that, and it’s not suppose to be. like you’re in a DYING and ROTTING world and people are comparing this **** to like horizon and other open world games when this just different this world is suppose to be dull and dying and it does this setting really well.

    The story is good too, being a From Soft game most of the lore is pretty hidden and not gonna be fed to you through massive amounts of cutscenes, but instead it’s gonna be given through item descriptions and small dialogue with side characters, personally this don’t bother me, it makes getting invested into the world and plot more immersive, i personally don’t like being lore dumped with 5 minutes worth of cutscenes at a time but this is preference i guess, the only lore you get when you start is “yo listen you need to go out and become the Elden lord cuz the world is dying cuz the elden ring broke. ain’t no one out here able to fix it so you do it” it’s simple enough to start but as you go through the game you learn the about the different factions and groups and **** and how the world came to be and how they connected to the bigger world and what happened to certain characters, it all goes so much deeper than led onto be in the beginning it’s some crazy ****.

    The combat in this game is so refined its the greatest the souls series has seen yet i’m not cappin, this **** is incredible every weapon has unique animations and combos it did away with r1 spam from previous games and really made you think about what moves to do at what time, you have 2 different jumping attacks on every weapon, heavy attacks that have 2-3 hit combos, all weapons have light attack combos with faster weapons having 4-8 hit combos and slower weapons having 3-5. you have weapons arts that can be switch out with ashes of war that can be found in the world there’s so many unique builds you can do with this system man, you can take any weapon “with the exception of legendary weapons” and turn it to scale with different types of damage, there’s so many different options with this systems is actually insane i’m telling you man. The games difficultly has been made in a way that i’m pretty sure anyone can beat it that ain’t to say it’s not hard for veteran souls fans cuz it is, the bosses here will make you their **** man i’m not joking. But nah, i’m talking about using the spirit summoning system. it’s use to take boss aggro is extremely useful to a lot of newer players and the best part is, you don’t even have to use it if you don’t want to, it’s completely optional. during my playthough, i found that the summon is too strong so i straight up ignore it for boss encounters it’s made the game really accessible i think that more people than ever are gonna actually be able to beat this game. Technical wise i have heard somethings that aren’t very good about the game, being perfectly honestly the game doesn’t run that well, especially with what i got setup “i7 9700k, 16 GBs of ram and a asus Strix gtx 970” with this set up i can run the game at 60fps on all low graphic settings, most of the time, i’ve had many frame dips in certain locations and i’ve had the game crash twice over my 30 hours of playing when i Alt Tab on pc so far. FromSoft has addressed these issues and promised an update “in the near future” so hopefully these problems fix soon. as for bugs, i haven’t experienced any in 30 hours, non at all maybe i’m just lucky ion know. no glitches either but i have heard of some torrent glitches like bugging out getting onto him and stuff, but i personally have not had any of those issues. i think i talked bout everything, ion wanna spoil anything cuz this game is honestly at its best going in blind and just discovering **** i’m tellin you guys this **** is gonna be remembered its really one of a kind, it’s does so many different things and it prefects all the things it does. Personally this game is a 10/10, i’m going to assume that within a week or so the performance issues will be fixed so i have no real complains other than that.    … 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.
