    Best game I have ever played, by far. Endless, rewarding and addictive. It`s hard, yes. If you want an easy open world "tell you everything, go left here, go straight there" game, go for Ass's Creed, this one might not be for you. It's more of a journey, not a race.

    Elden ring has truly taken me in its firm grip. I don't even remember the last time a video game has had that effect on me. Maybe Skyrim but that's besides the point. Elden ring takes the good stuff from previous From software titles and adds on it. The open world works incredibly well and the game never loses that which makes a souls game great.

The open world works incredibly well and the game never loses that which makes a souls game great. Elden ring can be extremely difficult but so rewarding. And if you get frustrated it's easy to go do something else. Controls feel like dark souls 3 and that's a good thing in my opinion. If I have to find some negative aspect, the dungeons can feel a bit repetitive. All in all, I would say this very well could be a game of the decade. Easy 10/10.… Expand

    This is one of the best games I have ever played. The scale of the world and amount of content is unmatched by anything out right now.

The game punishes you for not preparing, never holds you hand, and allows each player to craft their own path. I was amazed at how much different our characters were when I played co op with friends. We all took totally different paths and found our own unique weapons and gear along the way. Do yourself a favor and play this game blind without looking up guides. It takes a lot longer but far more rewarding in my opinion. I’m 100 hours in and still haven’t seen the entire map. Do not listen to these 0 scores, these are salty gamers that didn’t put the time in to learn and get good at the game. Even if the game is not your style, you have to admire the masterpiece these developers created.… Expand

    It’s just amazing. The exploration, the bosses, the world they all feel amazing. If you didn’t like the souls games because of the difficulty you might like this game it gives you more freedom to do whatever you want. Again it’s amazing

    Any studio looking to make an Open-World game needs to take a nice long look at Elden Ring. Over 150 hours in and there is still so much for me to do, even after finishing the main story.

    Never have I been so encapsulated in a game, not since I was much younger. This game is a marvel, it's a dream come true, it's a masterpiece.

    An absolute masterpiece. FromSoftware's magnum opus.

    While the lack of questline handholding may be offputting for some players, it forces you to engage in the story to solve puzzles and experience the grandeur to its fullest.

    I personally believe that this is the new best adventure game ever made there are flaws like some bosses just being lazy but the rest of the game makes up for those flaws the shear amount of content is unbelievable. I have already sunk 60+ hours into this game. This is a must play videogame. No questions about it.

Although this instalment does not drastically change the gameplay, the additions to the mechanics and improvement of aesthetics are more than welcome. Elden Ring at it's best is an incredible action RPG that does not forget what roleplaying means. You can start the game as whoever you want, and that doesn't restrict who you can become in any way. Quest-lines give you choice in a way not seen in the dark souls series prior. The open world is non-restrictive and the land is intricately connected to the lore and the history that has been built to give you an idea of the care and detail that has been built for this game. The lore and the world have been so intertwined that learning something about the lore will 9 times out of 10 add to your ability to play the game. The difficulty and freedom, however, are not for everybody. This means that many of the characteristics that are purposefully part of the game may be seen as bad, or aversive to many who don't click with the gameplay, freedom, or storytelling. Although everyone's likes and dislikes are valid, this does mean that this game is not for all audiences. This is perfectly ok though, as it does not take away from what has been accomplished in the release of this game.… Expand

    This was my first soulslike game and all I can say is that it was mind-blowing. Yes, it was tough, but it was also accessible. The challenge never seemed impossible for the pure reason that I could just go somewhere else and come back again later. There's so much freedom and this is the first time that I have found an open world to actually be rewarding.

    First of all,thats my first souls like game I've ever played.
    And this game is definitely a masterpiece.
    This game has a story but it hides it. This game doesn't hold you hand and drags you through the world. You get quests and the npcs just tell you where to go. This game is about walking through the beautiful landscape and to scout. The open world has lots of different enemies, bosses.    First of all,thats my first souls like game I've ever played.

    So many stuff, you can make so many different builts.
    You have so many weapons, spells, armor.
    You can literally spent hundreds of hours before killing the first story boss.
    The graphics look good. I don't know why people say it's outdated.
    I think most of the people thought this game would be like skyrim.
    It's designed to not guide you. It's designed to make YOU look for secrets or for quests etc.

    This might be my favorite game of all time,
    I am a big fan of From Software games and this is the next evolution of the dark souls formula. This is not a game for everyone, if you dont like the soulsbourne series this game might not be for you, these games are obscure by design but if you find that difficult and irritating I would recommend you to look up a beginners guide on youtube and    This might be my favorite game of all time,

This is not a game for everyone, if you dont like the soulsbourne series this game might not be for you, these games are obscure by design but if you find that difficult and irritating I would recommend you to look up a beginners guide on youtube and you might just start to enjoy these games.

    This is not a game where you follow mindlessly a waypoint and get everything spoonfed to you, the game goes out of its way to hide its content. You are activly exploring and looking for clues and the game does an excelent job leaving breadcrumbs for the player to follow and this makes uncovering said content very rewarding. Here is one of many examples:

    At the time of writing I uncoverd a huge underground dungeon in an area I had already been through, I just went back to kill an optional boss, looked around for a bit, saw an item i could not reach, went looking for the way to said item and ended up finding a huge area hidden away.
    You are in other words really rewarded if you are a curious player and somewhat of a detective. The world is beautiful with awesome music.
    When I was nearing demigod nr. 3 I stopped to enjoy the view and the gorgeous music for a while.

    This is truly a masterpice and I hope people whom are not into the difficult and obscure games of From Software will give this a chance. The difficulty of these games are really the learning phase, but once you get the hang of them they are not a joy!

    The difficulty gives you a fealing of dread when you are venturing into the unknown, embrace it.

    I have been playing this game on PS5 and I have sometimes experienced fps drops when I am riding in forrest areas, but nothing that has been game breaking.    … 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.
