    Obra prima e definitivamente o jogo do ano indiscutivelmente. Complexo, desafiador, único e feito com carinho, são pequenos adjetivos que ainda assim são insuficientes para descrever tal engenhosidade feita por meros mortais.

    I was stunned by beauty of this game world. Game design is well built, go somewhere else if you cant move forward because of strong enemy, but it is not an option, if you good at game you can beat everyone

    Elden Ring is the antithesis of the bloated, over produced, unimaginative side quest stuffed open world game that has become so popular. It feels like a true adventure - you against the world. It’s hard but you’re free to seek easier areas of the game and come back to harder parts later. Over 100 hours in and I am still at the edge of my seat.

Over 100 hours in and I am still at the edge of my seat. The intensity of combat when you are right at the edge of your skill level is really something. Adrenaline pumping. Yes sometimes is can be frustrating so it best suits individuals with a persistent attitude and a desire to overcome difficult challenges. It’s probably not for everyone but it has been a great experience for me personally. I love this game. I also like games that focus on story - they are very different games and thankfully we don’t have to choose only one thing in life to enjoy. Expand

    Elden Ring is amazing. To me, what makes it shine is the sense of mystery that stays fresh even after hours & hours of gameplay.

What really makes this game special is that every single area feels meticulously handcrafted, and you keep uncovering subtle game mechanics as the game goes on. Personally - I played it single-player without FAQing anything. I find the messages from other players to be more distracting than helpful. (Minor spoiler) My favorite moment thus far? Exploring the magic academy in Liurnia of the Lakes is gorgeous and surreal - I went down a strange elevator to be killed by a mechanical creature, and what?! Then you find yourself in a volcanic area for unknown reasons! Expand

    For soulsborne veterans and new players alike. This game has everything. I’m probably 50 hours in to this game and I’m guessing maybe barely halfway through? Maybe less. It’s an incredible experience. I am trying not to rush through it. This game could easily be 100 hours long, maybe more if a person wants to do every single thing. So much content!

    Challenging but rewarding and fun

    Challenging but rewarding and fun gameplay. Intriguing fromsoft story telling. Immensely customizable character building and development. Beautiful awe inspiring moments. Magnificent boss design. I honestly can’t find the words for how good this game is. I’ve played for 50 hours and I haven’t felt like any of it is tedious or boring. Went with the confessor and turned it into a paladin and now a faith/melee hybrid battle cleric type with lightning. Really fun to play and looks so cool. First time using magic and it’s been really fun having all the skills and magic spells as well as melee dueling. Love this game. Love that there’s that option in this game. I am someone who started on sekiro. I think that will always be my favorite fromsoft game, but I went onto play bloodborne and dark souls 1-3, so this game feels very familiar in the best way. I am someone who loves the soulsborne series. Love the new open world design. Very cool to go exploring and just roam around. Well done fromsoft team! Thank you!

    Elden Ring proves to be the best game From Software's ever created.

    - The world is massive with a lot of things going around (Mobs, Secrets, Bosses etc.) - Gameplay imho is the best one out of all the souls borne games, shields are useful in this game and not mention counter-guard is the OP attack second only to Jumping Attack which will help you beat a hard boss) - Accessibility

    - Accessibility during boss fight is the most accessible out of all souls borne games, Marika statue existence completely remove the players on hassling all the way through the boss arena.
    - The world is just simply amazing and a lot secrets might I add that will make you lose tons of hours of sleep just wanting to discover new places.
    - Bosses while some speaking of mechanics are very similar to previous souls borne games but majority are rather fresh and are enjoyable not to mention even with the existence of Marika Statue that doesn't mean you won't be using that a lot as some bosses are still rather difficult.

    I have been playing the game since it release and have accumulated atleast 20 hours and i have progressed a lot but the world is so huge that it felt like i was just barely scratching it's surface.
    Undeniably a 10/10 for me.

    I am biased because I love all the souls games, but Elden ring is truly a masterpiece in terms of exploration and combat. I haven't had this sense of wow with a game since breath of the wild 5 years ago, but it's also got everything I love from the souls series. This is truly the quintessential from software game.

    For me this is a strange one to review. I initially hated it but kept going and going until I got better. The beginning is the hardest part. By the end the boss’s were dropping first time and there is many OP builds you can make at any time. The fact there is co op for the boss’s too really doesn’t make this much of a challenge if you have someone that’s good. As a game it is addicting asFor me this is a strange one to review.

It’s got a few small performance issues but nothing too bad. The story is non existent but the gameplay is so fun at times you don’t really care. It is Over hyped by critics and I think games like TLOU and horizon are way way better. But this was still pretty damn good. Expand

    Its obviously very similar to dark souls but offers a more casual experience while exploring. Sheer emptiness and weak story keeps it from being 10/10.

    Probably the best souls like at the moment, THIS GAME IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECES! In my gameplay it lasted 80 hours, 80 hours of amazing designed boss, music, and everything else, the adrenaline and satisfaction after beating a boss solo are the best part for me, absolutely recommended!

    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.
