    A game that could have been the best and perfect in its genre and form, but turned out to be just great. The main problems are the open world and unbalanced complexity.

    Best game I’ve ever played!!!! Fromsoft does it again. A company that consistently provides good gaming has no brought to us over 100 hours of quality content. More than double any other game in contention for GOTY.

    Great game. Best open world. Massive. Best in game design I ever seen. Game starts after 12 hours (after first real story boss). People giving it low rating because they gave up too early in the tutorial area(whole first region is almost tutorial). It's their loss. Hail to the great golden tree.

    It may be argued that as a fan of the series, I have a biased opinion of Elden Ring, but then again, every review that has ever been written has been affected by bias in some way, so it is what it is.

From big things like enemy, level and UI design, to small things like Quality of Life improvements, Elden Ring feels incredibly intentional and hand-crafted in its means of interacting with the player.

    It has gotten more people into the series than any game before, and as someone who has played each game countless times, it stands amongst them as a crowning achievement.    … Expand

    I played my fair amount of souls like games, this is the ulitmate version of a souls like. It has everything that makes it stand out and it just feels great. The gamepley, the story, the graphics, the soundtrack everything about this game screams 10/10, this game has become one of my top 10 fav games of all time easily.

    A masterpiece of a game that comes once every decade. Japan is truly teaching the west how video games should be made and it breaks the usual open world game blueprint that has infested AAA games. Truly game of the year.

    This is without a doubt the best game FromSoftware has ever done. This game is huge with tons of dungeons and areas and secret zones to explore, and you will want to explore all of it. This game has tons of builds you can make, complimented with hundreds of spells and weapons that really bolster this game's replay value. Games like this are far and few between, so you better be sure to buy it.

No sólo es un juego del estilo Souls extraordinario, con batallas y enemigos memorables, complicados y , sobre todo, con un lore muy elaborado y extenso detrás, si no que también ha incorporado de forma fluida el concepto de "mundo abierto" , cosa que tiene mucho mérito al ser el primer juego del estilo que desarrolla esta empresa. He leído muchas críticas acerca del rendimiento en PC, pero, por lo menos yo, creo que no importa que haya alguna que otra bajada de FPS's cuando las cosas cargan, teniendo en cuenta que si no utilizamos el viaje rápido hay muy escasas pantallas de carga. Aprovecho para recalcar lo bien optimizado que está el juego para PS4/PS5, nunca me ha dado un tirón (salvo en cierta zona del mapa) y los gráficos también son bastante buenos. Pasando a otra cosa, la "dificultad" de la que muchos jugadores casuales se quejan, y de la que estoy bastante seguro será la causa de que Elden Ring no gane el GOTY (Aclaro que estos premios no pueden tomarse en serio después del robo de rdr2), no es alta, y puede ser incluso disminuida todavía más usando diversos "cheeses" o elementos desbalanceados como la lágrima mimética, RoB, Cometa Azur... o "Burn O, flame" contra Malenia, por ejemplo. Últimamente está siendo comparado duramente con God of War: Ragnarök, cuyos fanáticos más radicales desacreditan el mérito que tiene este juego (Hay que admitir que GoW 5 es un juegazo aunque a mí no me entretenga demasiado), habiendo sido creado por una empresa mucho más pequeña que Sony (Que cuenta con unos 100.000 trabajadores) y aún así haciendo competencia de esta manera. No me queda nada más que agregar, solo espero que Elden Ring sea valorado como lo merece (sin recibir tanto odio de los mencionados anteriormente) y que agreguen más contenido que podamos disfrutar, y volver a criticar, los que verdaderamente pudimos pasar de Velo Tormentoso ;).… Expand

    This game ruined other games for me. I put more than 100 hours into the game and I didn't even had tapped into the story. The first time playing it, it felt like exploring a unknown realm in a dream. One of those experiences that you wish you can erase and relive it. The art design, animation, graphics, and different biome in the game, made 2022 gaming for me.

    An all time masterpiece achievement in video game history. The whole experience had me entirely engrossed and engaged. Worldbuilding and design are almost untouchable in this game. My only slight gripe is the dropoff in quality in the endgame but it still doesn't stop this game being as close to perfection as anyone has achieved in this modern era of gaming.

    Cuando Miyazaki llamó a elden ring "la evolucion de dark souls" no estaba exagerando, mu aparte del magnifico arte, el solo hecho de introducir un souls like a un mundo abierto era algo impensable, como lo manejarían, lo manejaron dando una libertad unica, y con un monton de recompensas que hacen de la exploración un deleite. y eso es solo la punta del iceberg.

    ademas de tener el adn souls, Elden ring nos ofrece muchos acertijos y verticalidad, puzzles opcionales muy originales como las torres a lo largo de las tierras intermedias, sin romper el ritmo del juego, la verticalidad en los anteriores juegos se hace prsente en las mazmorras grandes como el castillo velotormentoso o raya lucaria, a pesar de que el juego es horizontal.
    con respecto al arte pienso que es de sus puntos fuertes a comparacion de sus demas juegos y los demás. el haligtree de miquella, farum azula, te dan maravillas de paisajes en los que te cuentan una historia, ademas de que se aprecia de diferente forma con respecto a los cambios de tiempo que alternan entre dia y noche. ni siquiera se sienten vacios, y la posicion de los enemigos es perfecta, es como una jungla, no sabes que te va a caer desde las alturas o detras del arbusto.
    El volumen de las estructuras te hacen sentir abrumado.
    y la historia, siento que es el punto fuerte del juego, está escrito de tal manera que no deja tantos agujeros a nivel de cada personaje, ademas de entrelazarse entre ellos. me gusta mucho la mitologia original basandose en muchas mitologias, como la nordica que es la principal fuente de inspiracion, tambien vemos mucha de cristianismo, mitologia griega, y celta. y como faltar la inspiracion de berserk que en este juego, se hace mas presente que en los anteriores.
    en otras palabras elden ring es un juego completo. que te brinda un mundo fantastico y rico en todo los aspectos que debe tener un videojuego. Merece ser el juego del año    … 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.
