    The official account told us that there is an Arabic language, but after the release we were surprised by the opposite

    Those giving the negative reviews either don’t understand what makes a game outstanding, as this really is one of those special one of a kind games.
    The rewarding feeling you get, as well as the rewards you get from defeating tough enemies, are all so worth it. The huge map compliments that nicely, as there’s so much for you to see and do.

    Immaginavo che il non fosse il classico coop ma hanno voluto far passare una sorta di rivoluzione per un semplice copia/incolla degli altri souls, eliminato istant. Pessimo

    I chose to go as prisoner as my class as the sorceries are extremely fun to use. The melee conbat is brilliant because of the depth it has and how many different weapons and Ashes of war to chose from

    The performance on the PS5 version I have been playing could be improved but doesn’t take away too much of my enjoyment.

    The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild set the mark for what an open world game should be and Elden Ring has built upon those stepping stones and improved upon it. It has surpassed Breath of the Wild in my opinion, but botw is still an absolutely brilliant game and still one of the best. Elden Ring will be talked about for years to come and will never be forgotton.    … Expand

    Great open world and awesome enemy design, mostly rewarding character progression.

    But fails in terms of standard accessibility options as well as modern graphics, UI, and sound design. In those areas, the game feels just outdated like being from the 2010s.

My second problem with the game is how bland the open world is. Yes tons of bosses in caves that are basically just normal enemies with larger health pools.the actual world itself was so empty.. it was a good idea but hopefully they execute the idea better in the future    … Expand

    An Amazing Game and A Wonderful world there is so much to discover and a great boss fight you will encounter. It’s a masterpiece for everyone like the souls game and should the new one give it a try.
    But they should add the Arabic language for subtitles and the menu.

    By far the best vision of the Dark Souls formula thus far. The open world is incredible - you can literally stumble into an adventure at any point. Punishing difficulty as always but I relish the challenge.

    I am 25 hours into the game and I want more and more and more.

Elden Ring is kind of everything you have already seen in other Miyazaki games put together in a very smart way, plus an incredible blend of open world landscape and intelligent level design. Legacy dungeons are just what you would expect from a From Software game, with an added dimension of verticality and an even more complex construction, while outside the dungeons you have a vast world full of secrets and dangers (with respective rewards). After 15 hours I went back to the first area and found A LOT of things left to do, and none of them were boring or useless (unlike most open world games). The only problems are really "just" technical. I hope they will be solved soon enough, but it IS quite a scandal that a cross-gen game does not run properly on any platform. On horse there is massive pop-in, as well as when you respawn, and frame drops are far from being rare even in performance mode. At least, I found there is less input lag and much faster loadings (thanks to PS5 SSD). Dying is less painful now that you can respawn in less than 5 seconds.… Expand

    I love this game so far. Last year to challenge myself, I decided to play Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1, 2, and 3, Bloodborne, and Sekiro back to back, having not played any of them before, as a challenge.
    At first it seemed impossibly difficult, and I thought I had made a terrible mistake, but eventually something clicked in my head and I understood.

    At first it seemed impossibly difficult, and I thought I had made a terrible mistake, but eventually something clicked in my head and I understood. Thinking of the games as being punishingly difficult is a miscategorization of what they are doing. They are, more than anything, trying to get you to play them on their own terms, rather than your own. In. a way, it felt like learning to play Tony Hawk Pro Skater. It wanted something very specific from me, that wasn't exactly in my wheelhouse, but once I started to pay attention to what it was asking, the games opened up to me.
    Elden Ring feels like the culmination of every experiment, every idea that the studio has tried from Demon's Souls onward. The levels are some of the most polished, most fully realized they have ever produced. The bosses are cool and unique, the overworld feels full of possibility and excitement.
    I also think it's the most fair and giving game that they've produced of this kind. If you feel stuck on something, there are hundreds of other areas to explore, and lower level enemies to fight and gain experience and hone your skills on, rather than being stuck in 1-2 places, or going through the paces of farming for xp or resources in an old spot.
    If you don't like it, that's fine, it doesn't have to be for you, but personally I love it, and if you're trying the game and feel like you might have made a mistake, I would ask, before you give it up and write it off, just take some time to go explore. See what you find. Try doing something different, experiment with a different build. There's a lot of opportunity in this game, if you go looking for it.    … Expand

    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.
