    This game is one of the best games I’ve played in a long time.

I love almost everything about this game but there are a few things I can criticize. First I’m going to go into some combat problems. First there are some almost undodgable attacks like (SPOILERS) the notorious waterfowl dance which is almost impossible to doge unless you are really skilled or lucky. There are some other attacks but that’s the major one. I also feel some weapons are way too unbalanced like old ROB and moonveil. Overall still super fun.

    Now into exploration. Coming back to places that you are way to strong for sucks but considering the alternative is enemy’s scaling with you it’s decent. I also think that a lot of items and places are impossible to find without guides. But overall I had a lot of fun exploring the densely packed lands between. I even got all the trophies!    … Expand

    Me he pasado horas descubriendo cosas y siempre me daba más curiosidad por ver qué había en el mapa, el gameplay es genial, la única pega que le encuentro es que a la larga es repetitivo con los jefes y algunas mazmorras, pero las primeras horas de juego son puro sentimiento de curiosidad más el estilo artístico es hermoso.

    This is really a good game all together

    Pros:
    Really Good Graphics
    Good Story
    Really Hard But Good
    Cool Stuff

    Cons
    Can be very laggy
    Very Hard If You're Not That Good
    Strange Bugs

    All together It's a 9 for me!

    This game has two flaws:
    Firstly, graphics are not the greatest for a PS5 game (yes, I expect better graphics for this generation, sorry).

I played offline and liked the immersion, so, looking up to revisit something that needed to be done was a little upsetting.

    And, if you let me worry about the little things a little further... Comparing in-store items with equiped ones should be a basic feature that is completely missed in the game. Had to take pictures all the time.

    That's all. The game is amazing. Got 140h into it and felt sad to finish it haha.    … Expand

    Having never beaten a souls like game before, I can proudly say I beat this one and enjoyed every minute of it. A great introduction to the souls like genre without sacrificing the infamous difficulty level. I would reccomend this to anyone looking for a challenge and satisfaction overcoming the many paths you will take.

    Has to be a finalist for Game of The Year. Beautiful open world with plenty to do and great bosses that you can grind to beat. The best souls like game of all time. The challenge of the game is part of the fun. The weapons are amazing and the overall game is the best of the year so far.

    I absolutely love the combat, the world, the total ludicrous insanity of the enemies and bosses. Love the creativity.

    I have never had this much fun building a character that is completely my own, and I am looking forward to making more characters.

    I enjoyed that they made quests and objectives harder to follow than a normal open world game but the balance was too much on the hard side. It’s too difficult to follow quest lines and know where to talk to NPCs or what you should be doing next.

    The story is quite vague and hard to follow, jumping in and out over extended periods is virtually impossible, not so much as quest log.

    Given you are locked out of certain items if you progress too far without doing a quest, they should be easier to find and follow. I also felt a bit less engaged with the narrative than I felt I could be if I really grasped the story as I was playing.

    At times combat can be very annoying when you get stuck up against a wall or even clip through some larger enemies you can’t move away from. In such a punishing game where every hit counts, it can be very frustrating.

    Performance issues are still not fixed on PS5, the game cannot run at 60FPS. Given it’s not exactly a very advanced game graphically, it’s baffling this can’t keep a consistent 60FPS. I love the world and art style but the visual fidelity is just not at the standard of other next gen titles.

    An excellent game, certainly very different and breaks the traditional mould for open world games but the balance is not right for me. A fantastic game that has potential to shift how other devs look at open world games which is great, but I can’t give this a 10/10 when there are clearly issues in multiple areas. But it comes close to a perfect 10, what an incredible game, I have 100 hours at the time of writing and anticipate a few hundred more.    … Expand

    The Elden Ring game gives you many choices in designing your character and the way you play the way you want, you may choose a samurai near / medium-range or like a long-range wizard, and while you face the bosses, you will learn from your mistakes and discover solutions yourself, the feeling of winning is very beautiful when defeating strong bosses.

    The Elden Ring game gives you many choices in designing your character and the way you play the way you want, you may choose a samurai near / medium-range or like a long-range wizard, and while you face the bosses, you will learn from your mistakes and discover solutions yourself, the feeling of winning is very beautiful when defeating strong bosses.

    The challenges remain in studying the bosses, how to eliminate them, the timing of your strikes and blocking attacks, while you focus on the most important Stamina in combat with blood filling and magic.

    The developer has excelled in making worlds with many beautiful details and secrets. The game will fascinate you with its many areas and a very wide world, all the way to the end of the game and you are fascinated by this great world and the epic music during the fighting and the calm or frightening also succeeded in creating the atmosphere of fighting and exploration.

    Character development such as Dark Souls is based on the level and the way you play and the development of potions and their effects with the Golden seed or SACRED TEAR with the addition of the new single-use bottle FLASK OF WONDROUS PHYSICK It adds special features such as summoning magic without draining magic, with the development of normal weapons or Basic Legendary level up your play with normal or special stones.

    The story and characters may seem mysterious and slight, but they follow an environmental narrative that makes you deduce the events yourself, and with many secrets and side stories you will enjoy discovering the mysteries of the world on your own.

    Negatives

    Technical performance issues in the appearance of the world in motion, camera problems with entering turns and shooting - locking and incomplete intelligence of enemies can make the experience unpleasant.

    The abilities of the new generation were not used, and the game was not good at graphics unlike Damon Souls who used the abilities of this generation!

    Elden Ring is based on the similarity of the Dark Souls series in some areas of the game and its ideas in the leaders and the story, such as the character that guides you on the way and helps to level up, control or the way you fight.

    And the battles, as well as Bloodborne's resemblance to some of its elements, may become all-consuming to you.

    The game world is so big, the player gets lost in the beginning, and there is nothing to guide you in the way except some light that comes from the locations of the Quraish.

    If you finish the whole game, you will see that there are many bosses that are similar in appearance and fighting style, as well as ordinary monsters, which will repeat in many areas and the change is only in the form. changing!

    Leader in the name of what you faced five times in the same way! Consider the thing very negative.

    The caves are the same and the idea is to open the door for the leader. The change is only the rial of the cave, but the same look and the same idea, except for some. The caves are like ghost cave with lighting at the end opening the door    … Expand

    This game is not for everybody, but if you get trough the learning phase it will be one of the best gaming experiences you could have. One problem with this game are the sometimes unbalanced bosses however, you will find yourself either relying on companions or changing your build and playstyle entirely just to kill one boss...

    Number of brain dead GoW fans (don't get me wrong, I'm not saying all GoW fans are brain-dead) who leave 1-3 star and say "they are a fan of this series" just to try to hide themselves is mind boggling. I at least hope ER players doesn't escalate this with a "counter-strike". If you want actual rewievs I recommend actual gamer channels who have no political trash in their channel.

    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.
