    Самая переоцененная игра 2022 года.
    - Повторное использование боссов и уровней
    - Разочаровывающая концовка игры, всего 6 боссов подряд
    - Глупые побочные квесты

    this game is far from perfect making an open world game and fill it with copied enemies and copied bosses and dungeons this is a ubisoft game more than a fromsoftware game the way that bosses are so slow when they try to strike is so ridiculous the only boss who I had fun fighting wit is the dragonlord Placidusax cuz he is different from the rest i hate this game and ragnarok is better

    I figli di puttana amanti del souls likes votano negativamente God of War perché hanno la mamma ndrocchia e non accettano la verità, infatti God of War Ragnarok è il miglior gioco dell'anno a mani bassissime

    I don't know how a game with only combats wherever, can be a great game, all it's hard, really, it's a masoquist game, the great idea it's the difficulty and that's all

    Probably the best open world I've ever played. The landscape is gorgeous. The gameplay is fair and the story interesting. To understand the whole lore you have to read a lot but this ain't to bad. Congrats to GOTY.

I tried to play for 1 hour but it felt awful from the very first minute. The outdated graphics makes you feel like throwing up and feeling like it's 2001 once again. The storytelling is pointless – Is there any story at all!? Can someone explain this to me!? – and the gameplay it’s not that big of a deal, let's face it. After spending a considerable amount of money (with discount, even!) with this “Marketing Scam” as I am calling it now, I am going to pay more attention to what the general audience is saying about a game, other than just look at the awards shows. That's it. Don't make the same mistake that I did.… Expand

    soulsgames...you love them or you hate them. i love them and this obe is awesome...if you're a graphic whore it's not for you. if you want a easy lay back game..don't touch it. if you're a masochist and love to find secrets and challenge yourself you're gonna fall in love with elden ring

    This game is made for only a specific demographic and no one else. It doesn't have enough "living" in the open world to feel alive, the bosses and enemies are really the part where it shines.

It doesn't have enough "living" in the open world to feel alive, the bosses and enemies are really the part where it shines. It's not as good as Sekiro by far. The plot is lackluster, it seems like they wanted to push the BOTW + Dark Souls angle but the problem with BOTW is that the story suffers for the wondering, explorative world and it was 'okay' that the world felt empty. It feel like a single player MMO experience and you are all alone.

    I do not feel the game deserves the 10/10. A 10/10 game means that people who are not just dark souls players could enjoy it. I half enjoyed it, half got bored of the empty world. I was so hyped and it has nothing to do with the mechanics, it's just not what I thought it was going to bed.

    I think it got a perfect 10/10 because people want to relive dark souls. If you wanna relive Dark Souls + BOTW type stuff? This is your jam! If you want more than beautiful scenary and dark souls, go someplace else.    … Expand

    lol. These critic reviews are a joke. Is this the first game they have every played? Have they played any games other than dark souls series?
    No reason why I voted 1. Don't need one. Just like the critic reviews that didn't need a real reason to give out a perfect score.

    Zero to balance out the obvious paid reviews. As a game it's a solid 7-8. As a DS game it's a 12 out of 10.

    100/100 means it's perfect. Mario Odyssey didn't have massive performance issues and it was on archaic hardware. Most of this world is dead or has the same enemies per area. PS4 level graphics run like PS6 level graphics on a PS5. Clunky menus. ZERO enemy AI. They came really    Zero to balance out the obvious paid reviews. As a game it's a solid 7-8.

    They came really far fixing the Dark Souls formula, but this only shows what was wrong with DS to begin with. This isn't even close to Breath of the Wild levels of quality.    … Expand

    Goiod game, a bit poorly optimized for PC and Series X. Solid Story but not great, Good gameplay but its way easy to be a from Software game.

    Elden Ring isnt the 10/10 masterpiece game everyone's been saying it is. The combat is slow and boring while the enemies are fast and have a bunch of attacks. If you're a new player to this type of game you're going to have a hard time and the fans are going to give you a hard time. Obviously this is just my opinion and doesnt affect anyone elses thoughts or feelings abt the game. ButElden Ring isnt the 10/10 masterpiece game everyone's been saying it is.

    Graphics look last gen and totally bland. Clunky as hell and too hard for the average gamer. Would love to know the point of making a game so hard that people dont see content. I quit in 30 mins, Horizon forbidden west os miles more rewarding. I dont have time for this **** of dying 70 times on a boss.

    It has problems and should run much better, but it really isn't performing worse than bloodborne at release. Ignore the idiots like GamingIsDying and RtsBo who were determined to hate it before it ever released.

    The year is 2022.

    - 20FPS dips on a 12900K, 64GB DDR5 RAM, PCIE 4.0 M.2 and an RTX 3090
    - No ultrawide support
    - 60FPS cap
    - Defended to the death by souls fans and I'm not even complaining about the difficulty...

    No excuse to not support those things when I can fire up indie games from 10 years ago and they do.

    Graphics is outdated (near 2013). Very unstable framerate. Whole world is empty and looks like low quality product. It was good 5years ago but not in 2022

    Very slow and filled with mechanics/lore that REQUIRES research. I don't need another project to take up all my time. It feels like you're tricking the game's mechanics to defeat enemies instead of using the mechanics to your benefit.

    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.
