    Great Open World with a lot of secrets and surprises. I don't know what people nowadays want, do they like open worlds with boring fetch quests and quest markers all over the place?
    Elden Ring doesn't have fetch Quests it has many dungeons interesting side Quests where you have to find the next steps all by yourself and lots of secret on every corner. To this date Fromsoftwares best game.

    Honestly I have played every fromsoft game and they all fall between a 7 to 9 out of 10 always missing certain aspects to get that 10/10 from myself (not that I mean much) However, this game did it, in my opinion this game is fromsoft’s goat game and maybe as of writing this the goat of all games. Perfect for souls vers and new comers.

    Simply, the best souls game ever made point by point. 100% recommended if you like open world games and challenging boss fights. This recommendation is way under level of how epic this game is.

    Absolutely outstanding game. The game has been developed with affection on every detail. Is the map from DS1, joined with the bosses of DS3 in an open world where every inch of the map hides a secret that will blow your mind. 10/10 recommended

    The open world in this game is really amazing. Extreme diversity in all the areas and they all are filled with good stuff. You can point a random spot on the map and find everything: npc, new enemies, boss, quests. And all of this is always new. I really can’t understand why some people are saying that the open world is empty when clearly is not, maybe they are fan of Ubisoft or CD projectThe open world in this game is really amazing.

I really can’t understand why some people are saying that the open world is empty when clearly is not, maybe they are fan of Ubisoft or CD project where every mission is the same, 2 to 3 type of mission repeated over and over again. Character are really good and the gameplay is fun to. Is a lot similar to dark soul but trust me, if you don’t use the new mechanics you will be punished a lot, the game is balance around the new stuff. If you liked the previous games, personally I played all of the with 100% in trophies, your gonna like this game too. Expand

    Man this game is just Brimming with tons of content more so then any other game maybe skyrim comes close, tons of Bosses that are fantastic, very polished experience and BY FAR the Best Combat system and most customization in a Souls game.

    El mejor Souls Like al que he jugado nunca. No es de 10, ya que he visto algún error gráfico. Pero lo que no es normal es el review bombing que está sufriendo. Realmente es de 9. Hoy ha salido una nueva actualización, Pero que casi una cuarta parte de las críticas de usuarios es negativa no es normal.

    WOW. What have I been missing? My first FromSoft game & what an amazing experience!
    Pro's: SO MUCH DEPTH, fantastic combat, & the best open world map I've ever played
    Con's: They need to upgrade the game engine...graphically lacking on PS5 compared to other games like Ragnarok and Horizon FW

As a Canadian living in Japan, my copy is locked to Japanese, which is greatly reducing my potential enjoyment of the game. That said, my minor Japanese knowledge and experience with previous Souls titles has allowed me to play regardless. I'm holding onto hope that the Elden Ring team or Bandai Namco Games will be able to add a patch or a DLC Language pack, but until that time I CANNOT recommend this game for any foreign residents living in Asia unless you are familiar with Chinese (or Japanese in Japan).

    I was worried going into this game that the open world would detract from the thing I love most about Dark Souls: The intricately crafted level design and meticulously planned out world/player experience. In some aspects, it does, but I think the open world adds a lot more to the game than it detracts. The intricate level design and the experiences are still there in spades for the players, but with the added benefit of ramping up the exploration aspects to 11.

    I also think it improves the accessibility of the franchise. If a boss/area is too difficult, there are dozens of other bosses and areas to go take on or explore. In previous series, you would have a few options, but if none of them were viable to you then you either wasted time grinding or quit. Just by exploring more of the rich and fantastical world that Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin have brought to life, players can get stronger while discovering secrets, powerful abilities and unique equipment.

    There are also a lot of new abilities and quality of life improvements added to Elden Ring such as summon spirits and ashes of war. It's virtually a guarantee that any player will be able to conquer any of the challenges that Elden Ring sets before them with enough ingenuity, planning and exploration.

    I would highly recommend this game to any fans of previous "Souls/Borne" titles, people who like exploration, people who enjoy challenging gameplay, and fans of open world games (who don't mind a larger-than-typical challenge of other open world games as there is no quest log and few map markers to speak of).

    Beat the game at about 80 hours and I'm completely blown away. I think this is the true sequel to dark souls 1.

    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.
