    Best Souls Game ever. Get good and don‘t fight Tree Sentinel first and say the game is bad. Game of the Year.

    Artisticamente excelente pero me ha decepcionado el rendimiento tanto en PS5 como en xBOX series S no se como es en la X porque no la tengo, pero he visto varios videos y es muy malo en todas las consolas

    I think the graphics are actually not that great. And the controls are weak. Repeat Repeat Repeat.

    Fromsoftware delivered again. Its the most dense and beautiful open world yet, it's full of moments that will make you surprised, from the beginning to end.

    Je met 10 en sachant bien évidement que le jeu à des défauts, mais force est de constater que FromSoftware reste fidèle à eux même et dans un monde du tout accessible sans efforts c'est une exellente choses !!

    Sometimes all you need to do, is just get good with the in-game mechanic. This is the first open-world souls game, with various vistas and corner to explore which will rewards you (or punished you) in a unexpectable way. A word of warning though, it's extremely addictive and challenging so make sure you only ventured in it in your free time.

    It's a mediocre but fun open-world game where the main point is just to fight different bosses.

    Open-world just let you choose which bosses you want to fight.

    I prefer games with stories not just open-world full of different types of creatures to defeat. I prefer games with technical innovation, graphical innovation, deep story, intriguing conversations and characters.

    The graphics is outdated, the combat system is outdated and there is no story.
    So why my high score?

    This game can be mindless fun.

    When Witcher 3 was created it was innovative in the time of creation. This game is not innovative.
    It's innovative Dark Souls game. That's it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game. I agree 100 % with the professional reviews. Don't listen to the ratings below < 5. The game was review bombed and I'm sure many of those kids haven't played the game for one hour.
    I experienced no performance issues in my first 10 hour and the graphik looks great. The open world is not empty. In fact there is sometimes too much going on, considering that you cannot pause the game. You will be lucky to to find a place without enemies where you can rest.    … Expand

    One of the greatest games ever made. The world build is insane. Just so impressed with how the story is unfolding and how everything looks. Some of these boss fights are some of the most inventive ideas I’ve ever seen.

    best game I played in a long time. They took everything good from Demon's Souls to Sekiro and made what can be considered the culmination of a decade of their work. Certainly not for everyone, but a masterpiece nonetheless.

    The enemys/bosses and areas are so amazing and detailed that I am still stunned when I look at it.
    Cinematics are awesome and it has so much good content, that it blew my mind.
    The quests and story is also wonderful and I was never more into a game as Elden Ring overall. Definetely a 10/10.

    Now lets talk about the current "controvery":
    Some Game devs (Especially the sore loosers at ubisoft) badmouthed this game with various untrue reasons like: missing UI, bad graphics, overhyped by game critics and so on (,while being unable to make good games theirself).
    Saddest part is, that some ubi-fanboys are reviewbombing this game and giving their favourite "open world game" perfect score. They usually copy ubisofts and over devs words and just add the "bad performance" part for PC, which mostly has been fixed for people above min. reqiurements.

    If you don't like it or even hate the game, I guess it's okay if you give like a 5. But it shouldn't be objectively possible to give below 5 because it's in every aspect amazing. Now to all the Fanboys/Clowns: If you really hate it, it's okay. Taste is objective.
    If you think the game is bad because of gameplay or graphics then you didn't know what game you bought in the first place and you are a fool.
    If the game doesn't run smoothly, next time read the System requirements, which they posted like 1 week even before release.

    If you cry about UI, lore or just copy the stupid/false words from the "devs", just go to your corner and play your easy/boring/bad microtransaction games with 800 questmarker/waypoints on the map where you just follow a path like a bot without thinking/playing yourself. If that's the case, you are the reason why gaming gets bad and gives money to those big "triple A" companys, who exploit clowns like you.

    If you want to fight me in an argument about this, just add me on steam or write me a comment there. Can't wait how many clowns are going to write "interesting stuff" and white knight their favourite game in comparison to elden ring.

    People that reviewbomb are usually really young or rather "simple minded". With that out of the way, Its a damn good game. If you dont like Souls-Games, that's ok. I dont like strategy games, but i tried Total war Warhammer and i didnt like it. I was bored. Does it make it a bad game? No. Do i need to reviewbomb it? No. Would i be a retard if i reviewbombed it. Yes.

    This Game is not for everyone. Its for those who want an adventure to explore a beautiful world that shroudded with mystery. Its for those who like to find and reveal secrets without any help or guide. Its not about the difficulty its about the challenge.

    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

    Boring repetitive game which has nothing new to offer. No story, empty world, graphics are 10 years old. Who cares?
    Most overhyped piece of **** ever! And i've been in gaming for 3 decades.

    I have never played a souls game in my life but when I bought this game I have fell in love with it. From the graphics to the enemies everything is amazing!! The boss fights are phenomenal and crazy hard but that’s the fun of it. It’s the satisfaction of finally beating the boss you’ve been stuck on for a long time. 10/10 Definitely one of my top 5 favorite games!

    These people obviously love Assassins Creed and Far Cry with the same boring gameplay that's been around for 10 years.

    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.
