    if you enjoy a fascinating open world full of secrets areas and mysteries to explore and don't get frustrated at dying constantly this game is for you.
    if you have no patience and need to be shown and given anything with minimal effort move on

    While challenging, and at times frustrating, no open-world RPG has captured the sheer joy of exploration and discovery as much as this game.

It treats the player as a grown-up and lets you create your own story, your own myth, in a world that rewards curiosity, bravery and ingenuity.

    It's not a game for everyone. At times it's a game that demands a great deal, perhaps more than many players will want to give. But given the time and the dedication you are rewarded with one of the most memorable experiences in video game history.    … Expand

    Elden Ring blew my expectations sky high. I am currently about 120 hours into Elden Ring and am still finding caves and bosses I haven't even seen before.

I am currently about 120 hours into Elden Ring and am still finding caves and bosses I haven't even seen before. I have completed most character side quests and have beat almost every major boss in the game but I can't wait to explore the Lands Between all over again with a new build in new game plus. Exploring the world of Elden Ring has been such a blast. The game is absolutely massive without feeling empty. I couldn't go five minutes without finding something cool or interesting in the world. The environmental design and art direction for every area, npc, armor, weapon, spell, and boss is outstanding. The lore and story of Elden Ring always peeked my interest and made me want to look through every item description to learn more about the world. There are some very memorable side quests and moments that I don't think I will ever forget. Some of the bosses in Elden Ring are among the best I've ever fought. Nearly everything about Elden Ring feels handcrafted to perfection. The only problems I have with the game are that there are a lot of repeat bosses and many bosses or enemies have extremely hard to dodge attacks that insta kill anyone with a low enough vigor. Also the game has some problems that are hard to avoid due to its scale, like how its hard to know how to continue a side quest without a guide and some of the repeat bosses feel poorly placed. But these problems are relatively small because the rest of the game is genuinely amazing. Overall, I think Elden Ring might be my favorite game of all time but I need some more time to fully decide that. Also anyone who is new or hasn't played a soulsborne game should play try Elden Ring before other soulsborne games due to the massive access ability the game lends to players. But one thing that is for sure is I will definitely be picking up every fromsoftware title I haven't played yet (Dark Souls 1-3 and Sekiro) and I will be getting the platinum trophy for Elden Ring. I can't wait for the dlc.… Expand

    I'm saying this as someone who never really like any of the previous Souls games. Elden Ring is my favorite game of all time. I would 100% recommend this game to everyone. I honestly never thought I would fall in love with this game so much. It's kind of ironic comparing myself today to myself a few days ago. Elden Ring is literally my life now.

    I can't for the life of me understand the bad reviews. Maybe people are frustrated, but if you get the hang of it, this game is truly magical. You discover amazing things when you least expected them. The only downside is, that this game is almost too addictive.

    Got the platinum trophy after a week and a half. This game is such a beautiful culmination of everything from software has been building. I do empathize with pc players dealing with bugs on launch but I don’t think that deserves a review bombing. This is from softwares final fantasy 7. Well done!

    250+ Hours. Nearly perfect.

    Why the 1 point deduction? - Graphics are good, but not up to AAA standards for Ps5 - Sadly, no real ps4 to ps5 differences besides performance - There is no hand-holding. For some players, this may feel cruel. - At times, solutions to roadblocks are so left-field it's near impossible without community hints. - Takes a solid 20-30 hours before progress    250+ Hours. Nearly perfect.

    Why the 1 point deduction?
    - Graphics are good, but not up to AAA standards for Ps5
    - Sadly, no real ps4 to ps5 differences besides performance
    - There is no hand-holding. For some players, this may feel cruel.
    - At times, solutions to roadblocks are so left-field it's near impossible without community hints.
    - Takes a solid 20-30 hours before progress feels fluid.

    Why the 9?
    - Best open world combat to date. You'll likely replay the entire game to try a different combat style.
    - It's huge. 250+ hours and I'm only now getting around to beating it.
    - Hard, but not as hard as other Souls games. You can get OP fast if it's your intention.
    - Secrets galore. The world is littered with breadcrumbs to sidetrack you in the best way possible.
    - Risk/Reward is balanced. When it's "too much", you're probably in the right place at the wrong time.
    - True gaming glory. No doubt you die a lot, but victories have never felt more fun and meaningful.

    TLDR : Minor performance shortcomings. A revolutionary take on the Open-World RPG and must-play for fans of combat/exploration RPGs.    … Expand

For all it's success, I find it disappointing that From can't improve on their graphics. Clippings, outdated animations and assets, half-ass textures, , AI can be nonexistent at times. All that said, Dark Souls blood runs deep and if you're a fan, then it's easily the masterpiece we've been waiting for. I really hope scores less than a 7 gets removed. Even not a fan, this game deserves nothing less than a 7 for it's size, scope, breathtaking fantasy vision, replayability and sooo many hidden gems. Fantastic game!… Expand

    also who gives a **** if the graphics aren't next gen. They are a major step up from ds3 and sekiro, and when I play a video game story, world, gameplay , and art direction take a massive priority over graphics, and this game delivers on all of those fronts

    people are actually complaining about difficulty? It's a ****ing soulsborne git gud.

    one thing I was worried about initially was the open world. as we all know open world games tend to have boring in between areas. I am 10 hours in and yet to beat Margit and never once have I been bored of running around on the horse exploring the world.

    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.
