    Would love to play the game, but Asian region PSN stores do not allow English language version of the game. This is despite advertising English version prior to release. Use this as a warning to anyone else playing from SEA, HK, JP, KR.. your game will not have any option for English menus ot interface.

    No journal to keep track of NPC. Combat is just bad. Dodge dodge dodge land a hit repeat. if you die twice you loose all your money,exp gems. i know many people find this type of games rewarding but most people dont have time for this kind of crap. if you want to loose hours just for 1 boss feel free. this is a waste of time for people that have 1-2 hours max per day to relax and play some games

    DON´T BUY, awful gameplay not reactive to modern standards, you cant cancel animations in fights, so not very adaptable, feels clunky and slow against very fast and reactive bosses, this make it some kind of a try-hard resource of the dev's to make it hard but ends up unbalanced.

    technically feels like a PS3 title, outdated graphics and UI, and the frame rate is awful

    If you like games with no story, ps2 graphics, nintendo64 physics , corrupted save files and boring bosses that take hours to beat definitely pick this up. Worst game ever.

    One of the most boring and overrated games i have ever played. I can deal with outdated graphics and even bad optimization, if core game/lore/story/open world is interesting enough, but this game has none of that. It's empty, lifeless and meaningless. Thankfully most people doesn't seem to like it, so hopefully this kind of games don't become mainstream ever.

    Broken game. Somehow the game de-synced my files from the cloud and overwrote them with a file that was 41 hours prior to my most recent save and I basically had to start completely over. I dropped down 80 levels and lost literally hundreds of items and equipment. I will never touch a souls game again. Complete waste of time.

    I wish Fromsoft would learn from Ubisoft and Rockstar how to make fun and entertaining games, sadly Elden Ring is another example of how boring Fromsoft games really are.

I don't want to learn some move sets, so i could beat this random boss. Souls combat is like chess, you only have certain moves that you have to repeat over and over, that's the whole combat. Assassin's Creed and Witcher combat is way better, you have so much more freedom to choose how, where, when you attack, etc. Very disappointed in Elden Ring, i'm not saying they have to change anything, because clearly some people like this kind of gameplay, but i have feeling that it's more like minority. Strong doubt that most gamers would prefer Souls combat over Witcher combat.… Expand

There should be laws against this kind of trash. Or at a bare minimum a refund policy for misleading us.… Expand

Jesus Christ. Obviously lots of people were baited into buying this game, because "apparently now everyone can play it", who cares that 80% can't even beat first boss, am i right? Just cause it sold over million copies means absolutely nothing. 80% will never beat the first boss, 90% will never complete the whole game or even half of it. This is not what mainstream means. GTA 5 is mainstream, because people keep playing. 80% who bought Elden Ring will figure out that it's not for them and quit. And then of course in same video they need to bash Ubisoft games as much as possible, they just can't help themselves lmao. Arguments like "all Ubisoft games are same" are especially hilarious now when Elden Ring is literally copy pasting other souls games, in open world setting.

    By the way let's get this idiotic thing out of the way, no, all Ubisoft games are not the same, as much as you want it to be true, it's simply not true. Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs and Ghost Recon Wildlands are not same games as much as Ubisoft hater would like them to be. Simply not true. They might share some similar elements, but overall they are all completely their own thing.

    But in other hand, Elden Ring is literally re-using animations from 2016 video game. I have nothing against Youtubers giving their opinion about video games and whatever else. It's great. Just kind of sucks that lots of them have absolute trash taste in gaming, but it is what it is i guess. By the way that trash taste would be also complete fine, if they wouldn't be so butthurt over Ubisoft, that they need to sht on that company every moment possible. How about talk about games that are actually bad, like Just Cause 4? Fallout 76? AC Valhalla was solid, just deal with it okay. You don't need to trash this game, find something else.    … Expand

    This game is empty, pointlessly difficult and boring. Thankfully tomorrow Rockstar releases updated version of GTA 5, so finally there's something good to play. I have finished GTA 5 over 8 times, but i will gladly play GTA 5 again, with updated graphics, over Elden Ring.

    It's such an unfriendly game. I don't like to play while watching the strategy, but Eldenring is so unkind that it is impossible to progress the game without looking at the strategy. It's not just a question of difficulty. It's just too unkind. It's almost as unfriendly as a 90's game.

    EXTREMELY OVERHYPED GAME. Not sure what the appeal is, the game feels extremely dated, feels like a ps2 game at best, the combat is horrible and the grind is unreal. Story is starts and develops the exact same way as previous "soul" games.
    spend your time elsewhere, Horizon, and even Ghost of tsushima are way better games.

Go from point to point hoping not to have to maneuver around the god awful cliffs, only to find out the world isn’t so open. You can’t just go anywhere, there is roadblocks from area to area with the occasional workaround to get into the area. The targeting lock is horrid, boss fight will frustrate you as you have to continue to run, dodge or block, most of the time will be spent spinning around trying to get a lock on just to spin forward because you can see the boss but the targeting system is designed to turn you 180 degrees if you miss the lock.

    Can’t use your map while freely roaming if an enemy has seen you, it doesn’t matter where he is, you will be forced to wait it out to use the map. Torrent is a gimped horse who turns like an 18 wheeler, however the game has instances where you have to use torrent to navigate the horrendous cliff system. The game is the easiest of the dark souls, game mechanics severely hurt this game, “git gud” means memorizing the path over and over and dealing with game controls. The bosses are scripted and ignore anything you do. The environment is a visual and nothing more, bosses ignore it. The target lock system is random and will have you targeting behind the guy about to bash your face in. Two guys running at you and a third stays back out of range and the lock on will select him, if not him it will be a random deer. Anything but the guy directly in front of you. Mechanics kill the fun. There is no coop multiplayer, it’s a pvp invite, even when using a password. Goty? Nope…this belongs in the trash.

    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.
