    Bandai Namco marketed this game in Arabic language on the Middle East region yet there’s no Arabic language in the final game didn’t except to rate a game I’m hyped for since it was announced a 0 because of the false marketing!! such a disappointment

    Dont waste your time with this dumpster fire. Play elder scrolls online instead. It's everything this game wishes it could be

    Boring ass game. Slow combat from ps3 era and story is painfully written. They need to bring back snappy fast gameplay like Sekiro

    This game is very hard, I feel that those who made this work are suffering from sadism, the game may want to make something like GOD4, but it's not a good game at all and has no balance. It's a pity to spend money to buy this game.

    Basura de juego, totalmente buggeado, gráficos de hace un lustro, apartado técnico basura, el multijugador tiene roto desde que salió y extremadamente repetitivo. Ahora mismo injugable.

    I would really love to play this game but I live in Asia and I bought a copy and unfortunately it is region locked. It would be great if I could play it in my language, English.

    Poorly optimized and riddled with bugs. Don't buy the hype from the same people who told you Cyberpunk was a 10/10 masterpiece. Just another generic FromSoftware game.

    Its frame rate was alright. Elden Ring's graphics was handled more poory on the ps5 version. Ps5 version of Elden Ring got so many glitches and console bugs

    Malenia, O Malenia! I defeat Malenia.
    Joking aside, this is the first Souls game I've ever played and I really liked this game. It was a game where I really felt that I was getting stronger, and I was extremely happy when I defeated the bosses. It was a great experience for me with art design, boss design, music, in short, everything. After Elden Ring, I will play other Souls games.

    MALENIA, the blade of my ass is waaay too fast for a souls game. Take this scalet-rotted-winged anime biiiih back to Sekiro and announce an upcoming Sekiro DLC with her in it.

    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

    game is really bad in optimization, game mechanics are dull, UI is crap and most of world interactions are text based. Graphics are nothing impressive while world design and general art style is a plus.
    In summary very overrated

    One of the most anticipated games of the year and it is shameful that it is dubbed only in English.
    Could be the perfect time to make a much more quality distribution

    This game is everything wrong with modern gaming. The fact that this game won GOTY when its story and characters are so non-existent that they could've been written on a napkin over a 30 minute lunch.

Then people wonder why the modern state of gaming seems like a such a joke and why people are so obsessed with remakes and remasters of actual classics. Keep celebrating and paying for crap and that's all you're going to get. Expand

El juego tiene errores de optimización y, su mundo abierto es muy poco impresionante, abunda la niebla, parece que el juego es de dos generaciones anteriores, en lo que resalta es su dificultad, es para un público muy reducido, con tan pocas valoraciones de la prensa es claro que inflaron su calificación, hasta más no poder Expand

    This game has some of the most uninteresting and nerdy stuff I’ve ever seen. Why am I fighting a giant crab with zero explanation? I don’t understand how people feel inclined to progress the game if the story sucks. A game can’t have a bad story in 2022 and be called a “masterpiece”. Such a waste of potential. Plus the graphics look mid compared to Horizon Forbidden West. And theThis game has some of the most uninteresting and nerdy stuff I’ve ever seen.

    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.
