    Gameplay is amazingly fun and addicting. As to be expected from a souls like, it is also hard to master. The numbers, values, amount of items and stats can be confusing at times, especially for souls like newcomers, but that's nothing some youtube tutorials and guides can't fix.

    The game looks good, is hard like a souls game should be, rewards exploration and if you think a ecounter is difficult you can simply go somewhere else. Truly one of the best games of the year.

    Ce jeux est juste génial, je ne vais pas écrire encore une fois pourquoi il est si bon mais juste dire que je lui met 9 et pas 10 car pour moi jour PC il manque un peut de technique.
    Le jeux pourrais être un peut plus beau, la DA est magnifique dommage que les graphisme ne suivent pas, et il y au un manque d'optimisation sur PC et pas de prise en charge des écran 21/9.

    Amazing game . Solid 9. Fix frame rates on ps5 it will be a 10. It lags just a little but not enough to put me of and that will be fixed soon with a patch I'm sure . Amazing world to explore and a good challenge. Ignore the 0 ratings. They get kicks out of putting a good thing down

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A masterpiece of gaming, not exent of some downsides, but full of dozens of hours of pure challenging joy.

    On the PROs, the gameplay itself is demanding but rwarding as well. The open world is probably the best I've ever visited, really intuitive and never ending. The music is also incredible and adds for the general feeling, and the art direction is simply superb.

    The CONs are few, but there are some: graphics are not at the level of the gameplay and the game has popping. The targetting automation tends to target enemies that are not the most menacing or closest ones, which can be exasperating in a game so difficult.

    Anyway, those problems don't make the game less appealing. I strongly recommend playing it, as long as you have long hours of free time to submerge yourself in it.    … Expand

    Music is typically rousing when combat takes place and calm / relaxing when roaming the world.
    Controls are almost identical to previous 'Dark Souls' games but with a few new moves that really enhance gameplay.
    'Elden Ring' is a 'Souls' game that has been inspired by 'Zelda: Breath of the Wild' which is an absolutely brilliant thing.
    So far 'Elden Ring' feels more of an evolution rather than a revolution however I am really enjoying it and can totally recommend.    … Expand

    Great game with a gorgeous world, awesome bosses and an amazing sense of freedom and exploration without getting dull.

    I wish I could award it with a 10 however I feel the combat in this game is a step down from Dark Souls. Deaths do not feel fair, rather than being defeated by bosses you are being oneshot. That is not how you execute good combat.

    Amazing game, I started off somewhat skeptical when I was first exploring the map thinking it was empty, but when I started really exploring I realised how much caves, dungeons and secrets are all hidden and waiting to be discovered.

It takes the mechanics and gameplay of each from game and puts them all together and it works. Combat feels great especially when you start finding new arts of war, combined that with spells and the new mounted combat and jump attacks. It took me a slight adjustment period but I'm hooked. The world is huge and full of loot. The trademark atmosphere that's from soft games are known for is here which is impressive given the open world format. The only problem that I had was draw distance I find it unpleasure to look far in open areas, anyway I'd highly recommend to anyone especially a fan of dark souls.… Expand

    These are some of my thoughts as someone who doesn’t play a lot of games. When I first started I really did not like this. I’m a very “casual gamer” who is used to narrative heavy games like RDR2, AC Valhalla, Horizon, etc. I thought “Where’s my quest log? What am I supposed to do? Why is the first boss I face this gigantic sentinel?” It wasn’t until I realized “Hey dummy, just run pastThese are some of my thoughts as someone who doesn’t play a lot of games.

What am I supposed to do? Why is the first boss I face this gigantic sentinel?” It wasn’t until I realized “Hey dummy, just run past the sentinel. Go explore and find out what you’re supposed to do” that I really started to appreciate this game. There’s very little hand holding here. At first I felt this was to the games detriment however after figuring out some of the mechanics and focusing on leveling up my build properly (I was trying to put runes into a little bit of everything at the beginning) I started to appreciate how special this game is. It’s kind of like putting together a puzzle without a reference picture. Yeah it’ll be challenging but give it time, find the corner pieces and start making the boarder. I’m about 35 hours into the game and am not close to being done. However as the game progresses my enjoyment has continued to increase. The games bosses can be tough but fair. And if you can’t beat them right away go and get more runes to level up. From what I have gathered there’s no penalty to holding off on fighting bosses. I’ve had a great time playing Elden Ring. Overall I’d say 9/10 is a fair assessment. It is close to a 10/10 however I do think the developers could have added a journal or log of some kind for all of the little side quests and NPCs you meet. There’s a ton and I found it super easy to forget about quest lines. You can use map markers but NPCs will bounce around the map sometimes. If you struggled at the beginning of this game like me I’d say go back and have another try. Really commit to a specific build. Find a weapon you really like and upgrade it early. If you’re stuck or don’t know where to start seek out the community online! There’s a ton of great resources out there that are designed to help newcomers like us.… Expand

    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!

    Best open world game I have ever played. Wide variety and always something to do. However, frame rate drops, pop ins and sluggish level progression hold it back from 10. Also, and no one will ever change my mind about this, FromSoft should have streamlined coop, especially in Elden Ring where you can play and progress the entire game with friends without interruption.

    As a FromSoftware newbie, it’s a great game but very challenging and grindy. That’s not necessarily what makes it 1 point short of a 10 though. The game has serious technical problems like framedrops, and the feeling of joy is often short-lived because of a useless weapon that you can’t use for the next 20 hours and a lack of rewards for great accomplishments.

    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.
