    Groundbreaking open world RPG in almost every way possible. BOTW on steroids.

    Amazing gameplay. Huge open world. Don’t understand the zero scores. I understand frame rate issues for some people but they are on the fix in the future. One of the best games in the last decade.

    Sick and tired of users review bombing games because of hype. You are just as bad as critics overhyping games.

    Its just crazy what Fromsoft has delivered yet again, has some technical issues but that can be patched. 17hours within the first 2 days. It's that good. :) thank you Miyazaki and team.

    Game is not accessible at all. Would love to learn the lore and see the beautiful artwork they put into it but I’m not about to die a million times to some stupid boss that’s stupidly overpowered. Make a difficulty slider so I can actually somehow enjoy it. *sigh* back to BotW for the millionth time.

    Vamos a ver el juego de salida salio totalmente roto, fps inestables etc etc.....
    Pero dejando eso de lado que posiblemente se corregirá con parches EL JUEGO ES UNA OBRA MAESTRA

    This game is a truly masterpiece. Openworld souls game with great music is than we all needed but not deserved.


    Fromsoft ftw!

    The most overhyped and overrated fanboy game of all time. Graphics looks like ps3, not much colours, Not a beautiful game like so many others. The story and gameplay is not that good at all. I really dont get why it got that rating from all those sites. Its not a game i would hype unless you are a fanboy of these kind of games.

    It’s massive, it’s beautiful, it’s challenging, it’s rewarding, it’s deep in lore, it’s masterfully crafted. Put simply, Elden Ring is the best game I have ever played.

    This games is very confusing and tries to be so unique by not teaching us the basics of the game like the whole thing has no direction I don’t understand how they give this thing 10/10 .

    This is my first review on Metacritic. I really don't understand the professional metascore for this game. It is not polished, the combats feel clunky, the bosses are overwhelming and the satisfaction of beating them doesn't negate the frustration of dying 40 times because of the bad blocking or rolling mechanics

    Actually amazing.

    Literal everything you would want in a souls game. It’s like if you compiled all of Fromsoftwares previous titles and added more on top of it.

    The game is gorgeous on PS5 and I have no idea what people are talking about when they are comparing it to ps3 era visuals. If you loved dark souls, you’ll adore Elden ring.

    The hype is real. 30 hours in and this is the most addictive games I have ever played. 10/10 so far. Just a breathtaking experience, I highly recommend it to anyone that loves a challenge and beautiful world to take in. Never has there been a better sense of exploration and discovery.

    I'd give it 10/10 for the amount of content and sheer size of the world. So many possible builds and ways to play, a completely amazing open-world souls experience in my opinion. Hoping for PC fps drop issues.

    This is an experience like no other. It's absolutely stunning. It's a game that respects it's audience and treats them like adults, it challenges them at every turn and gives them a world to actually discover and lose themselves in. It's absolutely mind-blowing that this game exists - I never thought I'd see a video game like this in my life.

It's absolutely mind-blowing that this game exists - I never thought I'd see a video game like this in my life.

    Yes, the game is challenging - but that's precisely the point. I don't want to play a game that a seven year old child can pick up and play, because in the end that's who that game is tailored towards. I want to be respected. I want to be tested. I want the thrill of discovery and triumph. This game has that in spades.

    The graphics aren't superb, but honestly, I like it like that. The way they are it helps to create the sense of unreality, like a living dream that can be stepped into at any time. The graphics aren't what's important - it's the design. It's a meticulous and well-wrought world and some, unfortunately, are unable to look up from the ground to see that.

    If you have some patience and give this game the time it deserves you will be well rewarded with one of the greatest gaming experiences of your life. So, don't give up, because that's when you have really lost.    … Expand

    Poorly optimized and riddled with bugs. Don't buy the hype from the same people who told you Cyberpunk was a 10/10 masterpiece. Just another generic FromSoftware game.

    O jogo além de ter um mundo incrívelmente grande e bonito traz mais mais possibilidades nas builds.
    Alem de ser praticamente um Dark souls 4, oque já é excelente

    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.
