    No graphics issue on ps5. Stop review bombing this game based on pc performance! Throughly enjoyed my 10+ hours PER DAY in the last three days. Honestly think this is game of the decade. Open world is full of interesting stuff. You JUST NEED TO LOOK FOR THEM!

    This is really one of the "must have" games and not only for souls games fans.

    This game is incredible. Everything from the world design, art style, combat, story, voice acting, item design, sound design, and feeling of progression.

    Elden Ring is truly one of the best games ever made, and for me, it sits right next to Breath of the Wild as one of my favorite games ever made

    If you are a souls fan, specifically Dark Souls, you will absolutely love Elden Ring. The game is absolutely gigantic, so many NPC's, secret areas, etc. After getting over the first "hump" which takes a few hours, you will be immersed into a Souls experience like never before.

    This game is so fun, and this is coming from someone who isn't a big souls game fan, definitely recommend. (What i mean by not a big fan, i mean not playing it over and over just play it one then move on, but still a great game.)

    Just an unbelievable experience. The game is is far bigger than it seems, and it already seemed enormous. Bosses and set pieces are incredible and the combat is a great evolution on Dark Souls titles.

    Absolutely incredible game. If you are into Soulsborne games you just may find this to be one of the greatest games every made. For newcomers, please give it a try.

I do want Fromsoft to make another Bloodborne or Darksouls game (more linear) to scratch that itch for a tight, dark, intertwined experience. Elden Ring takes the best aspects from all of their previous work and combines them to make an outstanding game, however it isn’t a better Darksouls game than Darksouls. It isn’t a better Bloodborne game than Bloodborne (if that makes sense). Overall, this game rocks and I hope everyone gets a chance to experience it.… Expand

    I am new to FromSoftware titles. From the outside looking in I always thought they looked slow, boring, and too difficult.

From the outside looking in I always thought they looked slow, boring, and too difficult. Once I jumped into Bloodborne, the premise and gameplay loop clicked and I understood why people loved them so much. Elden Ring takes this challenging, yet rewarding, gameplay loop and puts it into a beautiful and massive open world with endless things to go and explore and witness. There are countless epic moments you’ll come across that’ll leave your jaw on the floor. For fans of this genre this game is something really magical that’ll bring enjoyment for years to come. I understand that this game appeals to a niche audience and it’s sad to see that it’s getting review bombed by people outside the genre or people upset with the high scores who just don’t get it. In a similar way, I’m bored to death playing Mario games or Racing Sims, yet I understand those games are not for me so I’m not out there critically reviewing a game I’m not the audience for. I hate call of duty games but I don’t go review bomb them. People really need to grow up and learn to say “this game isn’t for me.” And leave it at that instead of giving it a ridiculous 0/10. Y’all out here making yourselves look silly.… Expand

    He jugado tantas veces este juego que nunca aburre, al principio es difícil, si, y bien duro pero hay que tener paciencia y explorar hace que el juego se torne "fácil". 350 horas y aún en el 2023 cuando tengo ganas, me lo paso de nuevo. Una obra maestra.

    Let’s just get one thing out of the way. This game is not revolutionary, nor propels the open world genre forward. I don’t think it’s worth a 10 rating but it’s a pretty amazing game.

Reviews are after all just opinions made by humans. Now with that out of the way. People review bombing the game while nothing new should really stop. Do you think this game is truly awful? Have you ever actually played an awful and broken game? Apparently not if you think this deserves a 0-4 etc

    Do I think the game has some issues? Yes particularly when it comes to performance. Honestly the game would get a 10 rating if FromSoftware innovated more, or changed up their formula by adding more variety to their games.

    The game at its core is still fighting and traps. Where are the inventive puzzles to break the monotony? Gave us a jump button but really didn’t make much use for it besides combat.

    Honestly I think they are afraid to change up the formula because their last game Sekiro, which was amazing sold less than DS3 and the Dark Souls fanatics are apparently addicted to the same thing.

    Also to add on to the performance issues the fact that this game has pop-in, and frame rate issues on PS5 or any other version is embarrassing to say the least. The game isn’t pushing any graphical boundaries and is devoid of shadows in tons of areas particularly indoors. Watching a bat flap it’s wings in the distance looking like a stuttering mess is a sight to behold. If I didn’t like the game I would score it lower on these factors.    … Expand

    Don't listen to these frustrated bombers. If this game isn't worth at least an 8, in all honesty, just stop playing video games and get a new hobby. You whiny, pasty idiots obviously have expectations that will never be fulfilled. Wanted to give a well-earned nine, but I'm bent on countering these retard 0 ratings. Great game!

For newer players it provides the opportunity to approach these games in a different way. You can go off the beaten path and level through "easier" mobs before taking on the bigger challenges.

    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.
