    Enjoyable overall experience. Just alittle to copy and paste for my liking. World and lore fresh and unique. Everything else...just more of the same. Sadly doesnt live up to the hype.

    This was my first ever “Souls” game and it’s just amazing. It is difficult but totally doable and the world is incredibly rich. This is the game I’ve been waiting for for decades. Once in a lifetime game here.

    I bought the game because of the hype created on the internet, but I found the game to be very tedious and dark. I forced myself to play for 70 hours to try to find everything they were talking about but I gave up. incredibly disappointing

    After 80 hours I enjoyed the challenge of this game but aside from the graphics this game has nothing new to offer.

The story line is weak the characters have zero development and the world becomes boring after awhile. I thought this was going to a MMORPG type of game but found the game to be extremely lonely, and not only is there zero NPCs but pretty much all the enemies are the same everywhere you go. Armor Sets are ugly some people will say they're cool but running around in ghoul armor isn't really for me. IDK if you like to cuss out your TV after dying for 6 hours straight and then find a brief moment of victory is your thing then this game is for you. I'm going back to Cyberpunk 2077 and will hope that AC Dawn Of Ragnarok will be better than it's previous DLC content. I enjoy a good story with characters that bring life to it - Elden Ring is not for me I guess but I feel the reviews on this game is too high- guess it's what happens when you release a game with zero bugs… Expand

    If you are fan of the souls series or just love a challenge then this games is for you , very fun and extremely addicting I get lost for hours just wondering around exploring the world , it really is vast and there a lot of beautiful views along the way. Gameplay is great with tons of options to choose your play style .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is brutal at first but once you get used to it it's amazing. This game also has the most amazingly designed map/world I have ever seen.. in Skyrim you could literally run from one side of the map to the other and the only thing that will get in your way is a few Mountains.. in Elden Ring the entire map is a puzzle to traverse.. you have to think and plan out where you are going.. and the game doesn't hold your hand or show you where to go like AC Valhalla does… Expand

    Too many bugs for a released game. No request logs, and you can encounter bugs randomly in every boss fight. Some of them suddenly don’t move. Some of them stay above a cliff and never come down. If you unfortunately die at the same time as the boss, there’s a chance you don’t get the loot and can never reach this piece of map again. The game is not pure rubbish, but full of rubbish.

    Beautiful game - Not just for fans of the series but a great starter game as it can be as easy or as hard as you'd like due to the exploration aspect I've put about 144 hours into it and completed I could have went slower or faster but I never felt burnt out..any road blocks are in player skill and not due to the game feeling cheap or "too hard" so it's amazing once you overcome ..ManyBeautiful game - Not just for fans of the series but a great starter game as it can be as easy or as hard as you'd like due to the exploration aspect I've put about 144 hours into it and completed I could have went slower or faster but I never felt burnt out..any road blocks are in player skill and not due to the game feeling cheap or "too hard" so it's amazing once you overcome ..Many times you can pinpoint where you went wrong such as getting too greedy with hits mis timing a dodge, good sense of progression wherever it's levelling up your character, weapons or summons - Story is intriguing albeit hidden within the vast world within item descriptions/item locations etc overall good time 10/10 for me my favourite of the series.… Expand

    Starts good then gets progressively repetitive and boring. Multiplayer is broken by cheaters who use exploits and farm runes.
    A niche game, rated 10/10 by bored critics who wanted another challenge.

    Ps. Just as niche as this review website with no function to sort through the bad user reviews, could have save me 60$

    The game is complex and unclear, the story is like that, and the world is repetitive, as well as the tasks are available in more than one game, in fact, it did not bring anything new

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Combat is real basic it hasn't really changed since demons souls on PS3.

    The open world didn't really add to it just made getting from A to B a chore.

    Never once did I have to change weapon I had the uchi since the start of the damn game.

    And the copy and paste was unreal I rolled my eyes seeing the same structures and layouts repeatedly and the bosses where worse, the amount of times the godskin bosses showed up was especially lazy. Also had some bosses just flat out go afk in the battle like the Dragonlord placidusax.

    Not a bad game, above average but the overhype is real. Collapse    … Expand

    A game should not be considered good simply because it's challenging. A game is still supposed to be a game and this is barely that.

A game is still supposed to be a game and this is barely that. It gives u the most barebones pieces of information on what to do or where to go and tries very little to get u invested in the story or characters at all. It doesn't make u feel connected to your character or the world that you're in as it just throws you into a random location for you to run around and figure it out (which I've come to learn is the usual for souls games). And that's where another prblm comes for me and confuses me about all of these 10/10s. This is pretty much the same as all souls games just a way bigger open world to explore...but every game has a big open world nowadays so I don't get why this is such a selling point to have different places that u can explore. I can understand getting tired of following a bunch of markers with a crowded HUD and map of icons but most games allow the option to turn this down. It seems like this game is being rewarded for a tremendous lack of effort and its being disguised as groundbreaking. Which brings me to my next point. The lack of options in 2022 is unforgivable. This game assumes that you've played souls games before and judging by the reviews im guessing most reviewers have which I suppose explains the high rating a bit more. If you're a new player like me and countless other normal people it is nearly impossible to go into this game as is without a friend or some sort of guide to help you figure out the most basics of things like where youre even supposed to go. Playing with friends is also a chore as the system that's implemented is a hassle making it almost not even worth it when everytime you or the host dies you immediately return to your world. There's no option to spectate even for a few moments while returning you just immediately go back. Along with having to find/ buy materials to use everytime you want to play with a friend makes it almost not worth using. Why not have a system where you can at least craft a permanent tool to use to transport you to and from a friends world? Along with having stronger ones that allow you to be revived or die more than once or at least be able to spectate your friend after you die? Again seems like they were cutting corners and are being rewarded for it. All in all it kinda sucks at this games lack of effort in being an actual game because it does seem to have a great world to explore and be in with cool enemies to fight. However my personal preference for games is to be entertained and have fun not be constantly frustrated for hours for a few moments of joy. I would give it a higher score but the absolute horrendous overhype of this game and the fact that all reviewers are ignoring the glaring problems and turning them into benefits causes me to have give this a zero. I pray this doesn't beat out genuinely good games with compelling stories and characters at the any awards but sadly I know it will and it's honestly a shame. A shame they will be rewarded for a lack of effort. Giving more options to newer players wouldn't hurt core souls fans but would require work on the developer...they obviously didn't want tht.… 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.
