Lol, The designs, moves and abilities just leave you there in awe..
    Would without question recommend this game to anyone! Granted I will say, this game doesnt hold your hand. It doesn't tell you where to go besides a vague yellow light (grace) or if you skipped something. It really makes you feel like you are truly in control of your own story. You get to choose your own path right at the get go. Also combat is MASSIVELY improved from the past games. There are SO many different melee abilities or spells that really change up the game!
    Personally, I'll never forget my experiences playing this game, it makes me feel like a kid again, actually staying up all night to get past a certain point.
    Games like these only come once in a generation. If I was you, I wouldn't miss out on this masterpiece! 10/10. Also if you are worried about framerate, dont be. It's very rare and only in certain areas. Even then it's not bad at all and knowing fromsoftware, I'm sure it'll get fixed soon.    … Expand

    Exactly what I was hoping the game would be. Absolutely incredible. I may be biased because of the thousands and thousands of hours I’ve spent in the soulsborne game but I truly do consider it a masterpiece. If you like souls games and wished there was a version that was open world, well look no further here it is.

    I have never played any of the Souls games before, but being a connoisseur of RPGs and hearing of this supposedly legendary RPG series I felt it was time I finally bit the bullet.

I figured with Martin penning the game's story it would be rather grand involving political intrigue and riveting tales of man's inner folly. Having grown up on D&D and CRPGs I expected to have a fair idea of what I was getting into.

    Much to my surprise, I found a vast open world filled with nothing to do. I created my character to wander around some lifeless void. Oh, it looks rather grand the art direction is quite phenomenal though the textures muddied and the game is plagued with pop-ins as well. I am able to forgive the occasional jank for a good and true RPG. I however did not find one in this game. I'm not sure what constitutes for an RPG these days amongst the general public, but generally it's a game with roleplaying options of which this game seems to have none other than building your character's stats and skills.

    All problems are solved through this game's languid, ponderous, and clunky combat. No non-combat or social options in this supposed RPG. The exploration as as dull and lifeless as the world in which it inhabits. Some scant crafting materials to create some mediocre items with minimal stat gains. Undoubtedly the usual carrot and the stick seen in the MMO sphere influenced this trash itemization.

    The dungeons were quite interesting and a more linear experience and I killed Margit after ten or twelve tries. The game's molasses combat was made even more frustrating due to the various technical issues that plague this supposed RPG (Hint it's not an RPG it's just combat pornography) Your character's hitboxes are far too large causing the enemies to strike you frequently when you're clearly outside of their swing radius. There's also numerous frame rate drops making the game's sole feature of combat extremely difficult since the technical execution of the developers lack of talent is holding you back further than the difficulty of the game is.

    All in all this game is not an RPG, there are no roleplaying options. It's just combat pornography for the youth's violent masturbatory sadist rituals. If you have any class avoid this buggy mess like the plague it is and cast it into the fire! I for one got a full refund from my local gamestore, but I hope to save others the expense. We all know this game doesn't deserve a perfect score.

    Elden Ring is the best game I have played in at least ten years, maybe ever. Gameplay wise it is exactly what I expected and wished for. It is the combination of every good gameplay aspect of earlier souls games. You can roam freely in an open world in which every region feels and looks immensly different from the other regions. These regions are filled with content as well. I have comeElden Ring is the best game I have played in at least ten years, maybe ever. Gameplay wise it is exactly what I expected and wished for. It is the combination of every good gameplay aspect of earlier souls games. You can roam freely in an open world in which every region feels and looks immensly different from the other regions. These regions are filled with content as well. I have come back to earlier regions and almost always found a new dungeon or a new npc. While not every small corner in this world is filled with items or general secrets, you still get rewarded for exploration, but in a slightly broader scale than in the earlier From Software titles.

    Now performance:

    This game is currently being review bombed by people for multiple reasons. Mostly the performance on PC. It is only day 3 so I am certain that these issues will be fixed soon, especially with a company like From Software, who is always trying to listen to the community. Nevertheless, these issues do not suddenly turn this beautifully breathtaking game to a 0 points. Do not listen to these people. Whenever a big majority of people enjoy a game, other people start hating on this game because they want to be different. Please do not let yourself be influenced by them.    … Expand

    Yeah, that's it. We ate at the peak of gaming.

    This is it. It's all downhill from now.

    Elden ring is, with the lack of a better word, a masterpiece.

    Don't play it if you like skyrim, button mash and hack-and-slash games. This game is harder than you can probably handle.

    The game also does not hold your hand, at all.
    It's your adventure and your own path into becoming an Elden lord.

    Elden ring is a phenomenal game, the level of freedom reminds me of breath of the wild, such as having unrestricted access to the open world (with minor exceptions) this all leads to a game where you truly don't know what will happen next as chests and teleport you across the map and large underground caverns can take you to brand new areas way before you should've been there.

    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.
