    Having played Bloodborne and Sekiro before Elden Ring, I can safely say it is the most accessible entry of the FromSoft catalogue while also maintaining the wonder and awe of its predecessors. This alone makes it a top-tier game in my eyes.
    The combat is as engaging as ever, and the open world is rightly compared to Breath of the Wild's in that it conjures similar feelings of mystique and    Having played Bloodborne and Sekiro before Elden Ring, I can safely say it is the most accessible entry of the FromSoft catalogue while also maintaining the wonder and awe of its predecessors.

    Elden ring is a towering achievement for video games -- both as an art form and as a piece of entertainment.    … Expand

    Game is trash, God of War Ragnarök should have won game of the year. Elden Ring is a complete garbage game made for soyboys who like "deep" lore (the lore is shallow as hell) and is a complete pushover.

    I thought this would be the From Software game that I actually enjoyed but plays like a game that came out in the PS3 generation and the story feels incomplete. It gets overhyped by the developers cult following.

    I don't know how a game with only combats wherever, can be a great game, all it's hard, really, it's a masoquist game, the great idea it's the difficulty and that's all

    I figli di puttana amanti del souls likes votano negativamente God of War perché hanno la mamma ndrocchia e non accettano la verità, infatti God of War Ragnarok è il miglior gioco dell'anno a mani bassissime

    This game is nothing but hard fights. Where's the story? Where's the substance?

    I don't get it. I've started multiple times and just can't seem to get into this game.. The graphics are detailed to the point of looking muddy to me. The whole experience was just confusing and uninteresting. I don't understand the hype.

While I did enjoy certain aspects I didn't like that you have to do this complicated **** to get your friends to get onto your world I admit it was immersive and awesome that you require crafting to get your friends to join but I don't like how it's a temporary effect.… Expand

    Very derivative with questionable enemy design where difficulty is achieved via bad design as opposed to organically occurring. Graphically mediocre. Lackluster narrative delivery as usual. Nothing worthy here, I’d just replay ds3.

    Boring Game, only a little group of people can play this game. Other souls more better than this new souls. Many boss repetitive and the only good thing is the map.

    Couldn't take to it, games are meant to be fun. I don't want to have to use paper and pen to keep track of what I'm doing - that's work not game. Hit, roll, hit, roll repeat and repeat. Avoid if you have liked any from software games before, Elden ring won't win you over

    So, Elden Ring, GOTY? No, but a great game nonetheless.

    I dont Understand Why All these Reviews In elden ring Describing How theres "No Story or Lack There of" You need to Play the game to Enjoy the story, Reading Item Descriptions And Killing bosses And watching cutscenes, Im not Saying you have to De-vote Your entire Life to this game. Its a Good game admittedly And it's okay To Ask for help from other players. There is a Reason this gameI dont Understand Why All these Reviews In elden ring Describing How theres "No Story or Lack There of" You need to Play the game to Enjoy the story, Reading Item Descriptions And Killing bosses And watching cutscenes, Im not Saying you have to De-vote Your entire Life to this game. Its a Good game admittedly And it's okay To Ask for help from other players. There is a Reason this game Has Co-op Theres a Reason it Has Difficult Gameplay and No Questlogs Or difficulty Options, Because that is its identity. If you Remove The difficulty Of dark souls and add An easy mode, Or add A questlog And Constant dialogue, You ruin this game. Its okay to not enjoy Elden ring But it's not okay when You start Critiquing Parts of games when You dont understand why its there. What do you get when you Allow Players to Get the game less difficult, You get a shallow experience. What was Skyrim? A shallow RPG with Good adventure Mechanics, That was skyrim. It was a Bad RPG good Open world Game While you may look At it as a Good rpg Skyrim is not, Its a good one if you enjoy more laid back Casual esc Games like Call of duty. This game was made for a more Niche Audience.Anyways enough of my rant and here's the rest of the review


    Elden ring's story Isnt The greatest but it's not the Worst. The reason you have to comb through the entire Game to learn the story is because Its not meant to be laid put to you on a Silver platter. You're meant to Kill bosses and Venture into dungeons. Its all there for a reason. These aspects are meant to be used to their fullest extent. The story is meant to be Interpreted by You. You can make up whatever you want. Its your Choice because 1. You bought the thing 2. The game's story isnt fully laid out to you so you have to fill in the holes with what you think of.


    Overall 9/10, Not the second coming Of Christ but it was good. Certainly deserves GOTY    … Expand

    An amazing game to play with friends. Though the game has no real storytelling to offer, the gameplay and world makes up for it.

    Graphics are horrendous and there are an awful amount of framedrops. Very poorly optimized. Definetly doesnt deserve so many 10's

    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.
