    This game is a joke. Bad performance and outdated graphics. You can't thrust any reviews anymore. This game brings nothing new to the table and after playing horizon fw it feels like a trip back in time

    A chic and challenging game. Very beautiful monsters and the world. It's a pity the camera behaves inadequately and there are a number of other problems, but all this can be forgiven. It is impossible to forgive the discrimination of players from the Russian Federation, but I did not buy this game (through no fault of my own), I am forced to raise the flag with Jolly Roger!)

    Such a disappointing release. Too overhyped for a long time which makes it a real shame.

    I definitely don’t recommend this game. The gameplay is awkward and repetitive. The world is totally empty, not vast and rich as some reviewers are saying, everything looks flat and same all the time. The graphics could be better, physics and animations are very poor, considering the recent high quality games, NPC’s animations during conversations not exist. It is a joke!

Sound FX are below average and repetitive. As Link the character can’t speak, combat is not responsive, story is too weak. Really a LAZY job. So it is a disappointment and totally below the expectations of the new gen games.… Expand

    Game is Empty and has no story. Seems like just battle system is there. 97 is not deserved. Overrated

    Dark souls but with stupid level gates and mechanics straight ripped from breath of the wild. Want to explore like the old games? Too bad because artificial difficulty awaits. I guess it's much easier to over inflate health bars than it is to create interesting encounters.

    Эта игра просто отвратительна! Естественно сам я в неё не играл, как и 90% оставляющих тут комментарии, но это просто кал, ошибка игровой индустрии и вообще она не заслуживает никакого внимания!

    At least we know which company pays for good rewiews. Graphics looks like from 2006. Gameplay is boring as hell. Story even more. Other languages was probably translated in google translator, or the stupid texts on the ground are so stupid that my brain dont accept them. Really dissapointed.

Anyone who plays it will agree the platforming is in an unacceptable state. The environments interefere with gameplay in unintended ways CONSTANTLY. Dropped frames will **** with your gameplay A LOT. Also, From did NOT balance this game, seemingly at all. No matter what health, or defense, armor, etc. 1 shots are guaranteed, and at other times bosses can be 2 shot by you..... Its literally one of the least polished games ive played in decades maybe. This game has the worst input lag, and dropped inputs, i've seen...well since...sekiro. Sekiro dropped inputs constantly, this game doesnt do it as much, but the input lag is 1000000 times worse. Nearly unplayable. Bloodhounds step and summons exist to mask this.Anyone will agree after playing,this game needed more time in the oven. If you arent willing to admit that, you are lying, or From told you couldnt say anything negative, or youd lose access. Play on the horse and platform around for 5 minutes and that ALONE will tell you all you need to know. Input buffer has seemingly gotten worse (somehow) with subsequent updates. Dropping the score down to unplayable. I cant express how unfathomabley uncomfortable the input buffer is. Its unconscionable… Expand

    Story and dialogue that sounds like it was written by a 12 year old. Otherwise just another Souls clone.

    I don't understand the hype about this game. the gameplay is not fun at all. I don't understand how the game should be a 10, the pc version is just rubbish. controller does not work typical of from software. only 16.:9 is supported no unltrawide.

    Goiod game, a bit poorly optimized for PC and Series X. Solid Story but not great, Good gameplay but its way easy to be a from Software game.

    Dark souls 3 with Martin as marketing trick.
    Graphics bad, mechanics from ds2
    Bugs and weird reuse of same mobs but with different appearance.
    Boring and totally overrated.
    Worst purchase of the year.
    Such disappointment after sekiro…

    The sheer audacity to buy a soulslike FromSoftware game, yet somehow not expect it to be a soulslike FromSoftware game, sigh.

    This game is as close to a masterpiece as anything in recent years, a perfect combination between a soulslike and breath of the wild.

    Los modos de dificultad simplemente agregan opciones para que la gente pueda poner la experiencia a su propio nivel. A la gente de From Software le gusta hacer gatekeeping. Va un 0 por no tener modo fácil.

    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.
