    Glitches, poor frame rate and still From software have frame pacing issues in 2022 is unacceptable.

    Trash open world fundamentals as well. Can't even swim what a joke.

    People who are giving this game a 0 for the graphics need to understand that FromSoftware is not known to make the best looking games ever, it's their art direction that carries them. This game is kind of niche so I would recommend playing the other Dark Souls games, Bloodborne and Sekiro before you buy this game.

    People rating this game lower than a 8 wouldn’t know good game design if it but them right in their tarnished. I saw one review saying “the open world lacks any creativity”. Compared to what? I can’t think of a single other piece of any medium, movie, game, music or otherwise, with as much strange, gross and abstract creativity as this game.

I saw one review saying “the open world lacks any creativity”. Compared to what? I can’t think of a single other piece of any medium, movie, game, music or otherwise, with as much strange, gross and abstract creativity as this game. I’ve seen people down there saying, “the open world is empty, and lacks in quality”, saying that camps are randomly splayed out with enemies. Did you play the game for more than an hour? Judging by the fact that you posted your review an hour after the game came out I’m gunna guess no. I’ve never seen an open world game have so many different types of enemies interesting npcs with mysterious side quests they don’t just waypoint you to, crazy enemy battles, and as hugely diverse set of locations as this game. And camps and castles always have an item in them that will help you, and you’ll need it because this game is still challenging as all hell. Or, the outposts and camps will have a weapon which are so far and few between in this game, every time you find one you get hype. That’s called pacing nerds. Bad graphics, ok who gives a **** Gameplay over graphics any day, and besides that the visuals are absolutely gorgeous because of the beautiful art design. As far as FPS drops go, yes this is a valid criticism. I’ve been around several people that have had bad fps issues and crashes. I would rate the game lower than a 10 if I had experienced any of these personally. As far I’m concerned this is one of the best open world games ever made. But also to be fair, this game hasn’t been out long enough for any of us to properly review it, games are like any art, they take time to sit on, ponder and appreciate… Expand

    Elden Ring is great! As a recent fan of FromSoft titles it was really cool to be part of a community that’s so involved with these games. The reason I gave it a 10/10 is because it took all the best parts of all their other games and put it into an open world environment.

For me I am at the beginning and I can say that I truly feel like player progression is making my player who starts out without many skills to now having the tools I need to win battles. I look forward to where I end up in the lands between but I know that I will find at the end of my journey a desire to come back and do it all over again.… Expand

    This is the most overhyped game I have ever played. The graphics are bland and uninspired. The combat has ZERO variety. Roll, strike, roll. Rinse and repeat.

    I have never seen so much hype for a horrible game. I literally can't believe that this is being praised so much. Not to mention, the first 2 enemies you see are meant to end you. And you can easily miss the MANDATORY tutorial. But    This is the most overhyped game I have ever played. The graphics are bland and uninspired. The combat has ZERO variety. Roll, strike, roll.

    One of the best games I’ve ever played. Last game I enjoyed so much was the Witcher 3 and I say this even tho I died many, many times. You don’t have to be afraid to try it out even if you’ve never played any dark souls games before, it can be easy if you play it the right way.
    11/10 would recommend

    Has been a lot of time since the last time I was so addicted to a game.
    Soulslike never was so beautiful, huge and fun to play.

    Cognitive dissonance runs high with this one.

    Weakest Souls game in the series. I'm a huge fan of the prior games with 1000+ hours played and the empty open world, uninteresting boss fights and frame rate drops are unacceptable. The story feels like they replaced the nouns everywhere to re-theme it to 'Grace' and 'Tarnished' instead of 'Bonfire' and 'Ashen One/Chosen Undead' but forgot to make it feel meaningful.

I was hoping for what Fromsoft had promised, a departure from the Souls series but this is Dark Souls 3 with a thin coat of paint covering an empty open world. Games like these are hard to develop and are huge financial risks to create, so I respect the work the team did to make this game as good as they could however they have ignored a lot of game design advancements in the industry that would have made a huge difference in making this feel worth my time. I really wanted to love this game and embrace whatever new things they wanted to do, shame what resulted.… 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.
