    Bloated and recycled. The combat system tricks you into thinking that it is deep, but in fact it is just really shallow with few viable weapons and ashes of war.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. as an old FromSoft fan and also a person who hates when game developers just do the bare minimum to change gameplay up i cannot support this anymore FromSoft games need to start evolving their combat Sekiro was the right direction for me in that regard Elden Ring felt like it took three steps back in that regard I like the exploration on the game because it had the type of BtoW-esque exploration i liked so much in 2017 but other than that Elden Ring is just Demon's Souls 1.6 with a new name wich is why i give the game this one point Expand

    The game is of course great in all areas. Amazing bosses, huge map and is overall beautiful. However all i felt was anxiety while playing it making it impossible to actually enjoy it.

    It's extremely hilarious to read these 10/10 reviews and insanely supportive comments of this game, as it's some kind of revolution in gaming.

It's okay to like bad games, enjoy. But leave actual real gamers out of it. Gamers who actually care about depth, and quests and storytelling and fair combat. Leave these people out of your "git gud" fetish. Expand

    Просто ничего нового, открытый мир мешает. Bloodborn куда лучше смотрится. Игра по моему мнению провалилась. Открытый мир скучный и пустой

I tried to play for 1 hour but it felt awful from the very first minute. The outdated graphics makes you feel like throwing up and feeling like it's 2001 once again. The storytelling is pointless – Is there any story at all!? Can someone explain this to me!? – and the gameplay it’s not that big of a deal, let's face it. After spending a considerable amount of money (with discount, even!) with this “Marketing Scam” as I am calling it now, I am going to pay more attention to what the general audience is saying about a game, other than just look at the awards shows. That's it. Don't make the same mistake that I did. Expand

    lol. These critic reviews are a joke. Is this the first game they have every played? Have they played any games other than dark souls series?
    No reason why I voted 1. Don't need one. Just like the critic reviews that didn't need a real reason to give out a perfect score.

    I have the game disc, waiting half a day for it to install and update - and the only language it displays is Chinese. I don't read chinese. Aimlessly clicking through the menus offers no way to change the language, the "Change the system language" tip doesn't help because my system is already set to English, and from articles on Reddit it looks like this problem has been happening

    Namco Bandai USA support is disgusting, I spent 300 USD and never received my Collector's Ed. (in Canada). Namco keeps passing on responsibility to USPS and I can't even open a claim with USPS because I'm not the sender. I discovered a lot of customers with tbe same problem and Namco is very efficient to cover the problem. While Namco literally got my money and run, I'll keep the zero score.

    Dark souls 4 - a very typical souls game, with impossible difficulty, crypted story (to hide a bare presence of any) and dated graphics. For those who have no life, but endless time to fight this boss again and again and again and again.

    Every enemy in the game has an unfair advantage against you. I decided to test this theory out and used cheat engine to give myself a huge advantage.

    Game doesn't get easier. It's almost enough to make me wonder if all the role playing aspects of the game are just there to trick you in to believing you're progressing at all. Sorry, but this isn't fun. This just feels like playing D&D

    Sorry, but this isn't fun. This just feels like playing D&D with a Dungeon Master dead set on having you killed, one that doesn't care if you're enjoying yourself or not.

    I hate the style of the graphics and he dullness. Ok the bosses are cool. But that doesn't make it a game on its own.

    This game is just boring. I wanted to like it, but it’s just too boring. Combat sucks, graphics are okay but nothing special, story isn’t great. This game is just a waste of time.

    Just simply not a very good game. Little to no story. Most content is missable and untracked. Very outdated and disappointing on accessibility. Unimpressive visual and audio design. Sluggish combat. No climbing. Janky horse. Poor optimization and performance despite very minimal technical ambition. Lots of lazy corners cut, like the slideshow opening.

    Beautiful game, nice open world, and my first FromSoft game. Overall I found the difficulty too high for a starting player. I hoped to see a gradually increasing difficulty, but it is almost impossible in the beginning. Since you lose your stuff every time you die when you did not get to consume your runes, it is a frustrating game.

    The year is 2022.

    - 20FPS dips on a 12900K, 64GB DDR5 RAM, PCIE 4.0 M.2 and an RTX 3090
    - No ultrawide support
    - 60FPS cap
    - Defended to the death by souls fans and I'm not even complaining about the difficulty...

    No excuse to not support those things when I can fire up indie games from 10 years ago and they do.

    Boring and repetitive. The story is non-existent, and the sound track is non-existent.

    Highly overrated. Good game but no where near a 10 like true genre defining games like Zelda BOTW. Its too one dimensional. The only thing to do is fight enemies and level up, move to new areas of the map with stronger enemies, rinse and repeat. THATS IT. Its just one big dungeon crawler with nothing else to do.

    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.
