    Another dark souls game. Nothing new graphically. A few changes to combat make it interesting. It's the same old combat. I don't know what's so intriguing about this game. Nothing innovative.

    Très bon jeu, mais la version PS5 n'est clairement pas au niveau, surtout l'optimisation

    Unfortunately Elden Ring is poorly optimized, in 2022 they still release games with this problem?! PS3/XB360 graphics, absurd, I don't know how he received 97 from the "experts", shame!!!

    There are a lot of performance issues. Its graphics are not compatible with the next generation of consoles. The plants load later. From Software games are experiencing performance issues in general. He needs to make the necessary recruitment.

    Es todo lo que podía esperar multiplicado por 10 lo mejor de frontsoftware hasta la fecha increíble lore jefes y mundo trabajados sin duda será el goty de este año,una clase maestra a desarrolladoras más grandes de como hacer un gran videojuego.El único punto negativo es que se termina.

    The game is unnecessarily complicated. Not impossible to learn all the mechanics in less than an hour, just why. This is a one player game. Do not think it is multi-player. You can summon a few people for a dungeon or boss fight but that is it. No exploring with friends. The targeting system is sloppy and out of date.

The targeting system is sloppy and out of date. While bosses swing their weapons and damage is done to you in any part of their swing while you have to be super accurate with your attack. Not impossible to overcome, but if I just wanted to constantly run in circles with getting a hit in here and there I would play one of the games I already own. I gave a 1 instead of a zero because the gameplay is smooth and the world is gorgeous.… Expand

    The game was massively overhyped don't buy into it wait for a sale if you want this game open world is boring feels like im playing a ps2 game. Sometimes like the only way you can win some of these boss battles is to glitch through the enemy. Npc are lifeless same animations from dark souls 3

    As a massive souls fan, i can say that From Software and Miyazaki keeps pushing the boundaries and delivering masterpiece after masterpiece, this might be the best one of them, and even the best game i've ever played in my entire life.

    I don't really know why the named this elden ring when it's obviously dark souls 4. Statistics, graphics, mood, menus, gameplay, many enemies, even the name of the weapons are from ds. The open world does not bring anything new, yes they remove the "?" from other games, but thats all. After reading the reviews I was specting a new paradigm in open worlds and videogames but iit's not the case.

    In this day and age, games that have massive amounts of hype often don't deliver (I am looking at you Cyberpunk 2077 and Anthem) However, Elden Ring is thankfully not one of them and has not only delivered but surpassed my expectations.

It takes everything that made each Soulbourne games good and combines into one package with a beautiful open well to explore. However, there's just one issue and that's performance which isn't ideal but, does it deserve being review bombed? absolutely not as it will more than likely be ironed out with a few patches. I don't understand why gamers can't accept that some games will have slight issues and isn't going to be perfect at launch and it's not like it's completely broken either.… Expand

    It's like I am 8 years old again and playing Ocarina Of Time, the sense of mystery, wonder and adventure is overwhelming. After 30 hours, I can already assuredly say this is not only the best FromSoft game, or the best open world game, but one of the greatest video games of all time.

    A game should not be considered good simply because it's challenging. A game is still supposed to be a game and this is barely that. It gives u the most barebones pieces of information on what to do or where to go and tries very little to get u invested in the story or characters at all.

A game is still supposed to be a game and this is barely that. It gives u the most barebones pieces of information on what to do or where to go and tries very little to get u invested in the story or characters at all. It doesn't make u feel connected to your character or the world that you're in as it just throws you into a random location for you to run around and figure it out (which I've come to learn is the usual for souls games). And that's where another prblm comes for me and confuses me about all of these 10/10s. This is pretty much the same as all souls games just a way bigger open world to explore...but every game has a big open world nowadays so I don't get why this is such a selling point to have different places that u can explore. I can understand getting tired of following a bunch of markers with a crowded HUD and map of icons but most games allow the option to turn this down. It seems like this game is being rewarded for a tremendous lack of effort and its being disguised as groundbreaking. Which brings me to my next point. The lack of options in 2022 is unforgivable. This game assumes that you've played souls games before and judging by the reviews im guessing most reviewers have which I suppose explains the high rating a bit more. If you're a new player like me and countless other normal people it is nearly impossible to go into this game as is without a friend or some sort of guide to help you figure out the most basics of things like where youre even supposed to go. Playing with friends is also a chore as the system that's implemented is a hassle making it almost not even worth it when everytime you or the host dies you immediately return to your world. There's no option to spectate even for a few moments while returning you just immediately go back. Along with having to find/ buy materials to use everytime you want to play with a friend makes it almost not worth using. Why not have a system where you can at least craft a permanent tool to use to transport you to and from a friends world? Along with having stronger ones that allow you to be revived or die more than once or at least be able to spectate your friend after you die? Again seems like they were cutting corners and are being rewarded for it. All in all it kinda sucks at this games lack of effort in being an actual game because it does seem to have a great world to explore and be in with cool enemies to fight. However my personal preference for games is to be entertained and have fun not be constantly frustrated for hours for a few moments of joy. I would give it a higher score but the absolute horrendous overhype of this game and the fact that all reviewers are ignoring the glaring problems and turning them into benefits causes me to have give this a zero. I pray this doesn't beat out genuinely good games with compelling stories and characters at the any awards but sadly I know it will and it's honestly a shame. A shame they will be rewarded for a lack of effort. Giving more options to newer players wouldn't hurt core souls fans but would require work on the developer...they obviously didn't want tht.… Expand

    Jogo incrível! Já estou com 35 horas e não paro de encontrar lugares para explorar. Grande quantidade de bosses e armas; armaduras e inimigos, e isso tudo alimenta minha vontade de continuar jogando. Creio que a trilha sonora poderia ser mais elaborada, mas a atual já está linda e relaxante. Valeu a pena cada centavo!

    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.
