    The best game to come out since Skyrim in my opinion.

    A vast open world with endless challenges and many incredible locations to discover. Game can be as easy... or as hard as you want it to be. All a matter of how hard you want to grind for level ups. (Ashes and Co Op make this game a breeze as well.)

    Soo many different ways to play, spells, and ways to gear yourself to challenge the many bosses and unique enemies the game throws at you.

    If you're not interested in Adventure/ rpg genre this game would not be for you.

    if your preferred game is candy crush, or you're fresh out of your diaper phase, this is not the game for you.

    If you're review bombing because it got GOTY, or have little patience to overcome challenges/ research, this is not the game for you.

    What a shame that this has been bombed by users (with the vocabulary and attention span that one would expect when every person is allowed to simply create an account). Just to summarize the negative reviews in aggregate: graphics bad, open world too big, too difficult. The last of those points has been mentioned in every review of a Souls game since Demon's Souls and holds no more weightWhat a shame that this has been bombed by users (with the vocabulary and attention span that one would expect when every person is allowed to simply create an account). Just to summarize the negative reviews in aggregate: graphics bad, open world too big, too difficult. The last of those points has been mentioned in every review of a Souls game since Demon's Souls and holds no more weight today than it did back then. This game is a masterclass of how to actually make an open-world. Instead of pointless "resources" your exploration is rewarded with hidden boss fights, entire new areas, and unique weapons and armor. I don't know if I could ever play another open world without comparing it to Elden Ring.… Expand

    This game was amazing. I lost myself in this GIANT world and I loved every minut of the 90 hours I spent in this game.

    Talvez esse seja o sonho se realizando de todo fã da FromSoftware. Um mundo grande, aberto e totalmente explorável, com segredos, mistérios, chefes e toda aquela fórmula SoulsBorne criada com o passar dos anos! De quebra, fazia tempo que eu não via um mundo aberto tão diversificado, lindo, Único!

    I struggled at the start for about 5 hours but once got going oh wow possibly one of the greatest games ever made, amazing open world full of places to explore fantastic creature design great soundtrack and the combat is top notch, even if you dont like the souls formula give it a try hopefully the world grips u like it gripped me.

    From the bosses, to the world building and the excellent characters, Elden ring is a perfect execution of the FromSoftware formula, and I hope to see FromSoftware do more like this in the future.

    This game is a masterpiece. If you like the soulsborne formula, this game delivers and more. I don’t know why people are saying it had performance issue, it worked perfect on my ps5. Game was fun and challenging. Minor complaint is reusing bosses but it isn’t enough to drop game to a 9.

    For all you reviewers bombing the game, grow up. Saying “I don’t like souls games, and this is a souls game so it still sucks” is like me saying I hate the sport of soccer so fifa games must suck. It’s pointless to say. I wouldn’t play rock band if I hate music, so if you don’t like challenging, obscure stories games, don’t play this. Also, in a world of microtransactions and corporate greed, you need to appreciate this game. I paid $80 and spent nearly 150 hours on my first playthrough alone. That is refreshing. So many games force you to pay to win, or pay to get any sort of enjoyment on top of the initial purchase and this game is not like that. I will spend hundreds of hours for $80 CAD. There aren’t many games like that anymore so people should appreciate it. It’s so refreshing to not be bombarded with microtransactions. Thanks FromSoft    … Expand

    Simplemente una absoluta obra maestra, me dejaron sin palabras las primeras horas de gameplay, sin duda un gran trabajo de parte de From Software es un goty absoluto.

    This game has confirmed for that the only games I will play from now on are games like Nioh and the soulsbourne type games. Triple A studios have become a woke joke. I hope indie studios start making more games like Souls and Nioh.    … Expand

    FromSoftware has done it again. Amazing game from one of the best developers in gaming. Game will not be for everyone, but it blew me away. Best game since Bloodborne for me.

    Ultimate opus magnum of From Software. The best souls game and maybe the best game of 2022. I'm waiting for DLCs!

    A game that will be discussed for years to come, this is the crowning achievement of FromSoft. A truly massive world, with depth in lore, characters, challenging fights, interesting and diverse weapons and character builds will keep players immersed for hundreds of hours. Absolutely fantastic work of art.

    En las primeras horas de juego me sentí como que no era un souls y no no lo es. Es mejor es una obra maestra lo único que mejoraría serían los gráficos pero se compensa ampliamente con el apartado artístico envidiable por cualquier otro juego.

    So this is probably my favorite ps5 game so far, the combat is solid, challenging but fair, the level design is nothing but superb, every inch of this world have dungeons, enemy groups, secret bosses and items that make it a charm to explore. Even if you don't like the souls game this might be worth to check out

    Like every souls game story are embedded throughout the world. You need to immerse yourself into the universe to appreciate the details of the the lore and the design from buildings to characters and conversations.

    The open world is well designed. Unlike other souls game where you entered a world from a hub, in elden ring you travel from place to place and experience the whole world.

    I've played over 100hrs and I would say that I really enjoyed the game. There are lots of things to explore, weapons, bosses, dungeons and more. Finally an open world game without those stupid quests that you just walk around and talk to npc.

    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.
