    If bosses have literally endless amount of combos and special attacks, one after another and then you can maybe get one hit and most of the fight you are just in defense mode, rolling around endlessly, trying to escape, not fight. This is pathetic. This is not good combat design. This is awful.

Unless you love to just endlessly run away and feel how pathetic you are, maybe you gonna love this combat, but i like games where you can actually truly fight back or have cool battles. Rolling around and hoping to get one hit between 30 seconds is not fun or good design. Jesus christ this game is overrated.… Expand

    This is by far one of the very best games I've played in recent years, but its obscure clues of pushing the character forwards in the story makes it hard to recommend to anyone not willing to spend a lot of time digging into all the specific mechanics this game has to offer.

    Anyone saying that this game sucks because it is empty haven't played the game. There are plenty of places to go, npcs to talk to, and enemies to fight. A true "empty" world game is shadow of the colossus which happens to be one of the best games ever. should also not hinder the review since Fortnite is jankier than all hell yet is considered by many as the best game ever.

    Amazing game. If you liked any past From Software game you'll love Elden Ring. The game is great. Gameplay is definitely great, similar to DS3 but with new stuff. The open world is really nice, I don't know how people are saying it's empty, IT'S LITTERALY FULL OF STUFF, every new place has something new. The game is enormous, it seems it won't end.

I played for 20 hours and I'm still probably at 10% of the total game. It has issues of course, framerate drops, stuttering, pop in, and stuff at a distance is really bad to look at. But the game is great, from software always had some problems at optimizing their game but in the end it's the fun you have and they make great games. It's not definitely a 10 but because people are giving it a 0 which is crazy, i'm givint it a 10, normal vote would be 9. Play the game before saying it's empty. It's almost impossible people already finished the game especially with seing every place and without rushing.… Expand

    I don't understand how in 2022 we were subjected to a game that should have been released at least 6 years ago. we need to understand this from the development side. something is not right here. the graphics are not good. the game is very old in its mechanics. we can't swallow this after the wonderful remake of Demons Souls for ps5. this game I mentioned is beautiful and really deservedI don't understand how in 2022 we were subjected to a game that should have been released at least 6 years ago. we need to understand this from the development side. something is not right here. the graphics are not good. the game is very old in its mechanics. we can't swallow this after the wonderful remake of Demons Souls for ps5. this game I mentioned is beautiful and really deserved the highlight it didn't have.… Expand

    I like it a lot. Perfect development of the DS series. Minor issues are connected with performance - freezes and fps drops and tbf the world is far from "living open world"

    Simply, the best souls game ever made point by point. 100% recommended if you like open world games and challenging boss fights. This recommendation is way under level of how epic this game is.

    Estou com 36 horas de jogo e posso dizer q o gráfico não surpreende é um bom gráfico deixa a desejar na física em relação a interação com objetos e as quedas de fps em batalhas e possível perceber mas num todo é um jogo de mundo aberto com mapa grande e com batalhas dinâmica com muitos boss e recompensas uma inovação se comparado aos jogos Dark souls

    Probably the best open world I have ever played, along with the Witcher 3 and BOTW, amazing. Apart from the bad optimisation at some times (fps drops etc) the game gets everything else right. From the open world, bosses, enemies, combat, it's all perfect. I see a lot of people complaining about this game mostly about the technical issues. Thankfully, that can be easily changed.

    If you are a souls fan then this a must play game.
    The world is rich and beautiful and at the same time dangerous. The story is great too. The bosses are unique and are work of art. The new mechanics are great too.

    Melee and mounted combat are almost perfect! The world is gorgeous and the game runs well. It needs a bit of tuning due to some drops in frame rate but it does not change the fact that this game is Awesome!

    Imagine waiting years for the game, pre-ordering it and waiting for the countdown to hit zero and the first thing you see is the game booting up in CHINESE. My system is set to english and apparently the game was released without english language in many asian regions (Thailand, Hong Kong, Korea...) with no way to purchase or play the english version... WTF???

    El mejor Souls Like al que he jugado nunca. No es de 10, ya que he visto algún error gráfico. Pero lo que no es normal es el review bombing que está sufriendo. Realmente es de 9. Hoy ha salido una nueva actualización, Pero que casi una cuarta parte de las críticas de usuarios es negativa no es normal.

    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.
