    I honestly don’t understand the 0 reviews on this website. People complaining about performance are clearly not playing the PS5 version. This game is so immersive that I couldn’t stop playing for the first 12 hours. The world is so peaceful and terrifying at the same time, it creates a dynamic I haven’t seen before in an open world game.

    Im around 20 hours in the game now. Im loving it, there is just something that makes soulsborne games so much fun, Challenging content with a lot of creative combat and the the game feels way more rewarding than punshing and with additional QoL features like FINALLY we have a map, This is a great game.

    Performance on this game is horrible, drops in frame rate, stuttering, bad graphics, no support for large screens, etc. Wasn't this supposed to be a whole "new franchise"?

    Fantastic game. Screw the haters. Yes there are some stutters but they don't occur very often. The exploration and combat are god tier. I've cleared out two major areas and the amount of variety in content is amazing. I'm giving this game a 10 now because I know it will be a 10 when I finish it. Its only going to get better from this point from what I've heard.

    The graphic is outdated, open world is not super enjoyable, and lack of frame rate.

    Signed up just to review this game because I'm getting tired of critics overhyping games simply based on the developers.

    Coming from an avid fan of open world games who has not played many other From Software titles, I struggle to see how this game deserves such a high rating. The graphics are mediocre for next gen consoles. Framerates are poor. Movement and mechanics are clunky.

The graphics are mediocre for next gen consoles. Framerates are poor. Movement and mechanics are clunky. The art is generic and the story is non-existent. The only way I can see why people love this game is the challenge of the bosses and dungeons. But if you're not the type of person who enjoys dying to the same enemy 20 times in a row (I'm not), then there's much here to enjoy. This is basically a mediocre open world game with incredibly difficult and epic boss fights. Nothing more. It's mildly fun. I'd normally give it a 6/10, but given the amount of hype going on in the gaming media, I feel like I need to counterbalance here and am instead giving it a 4/10. Probably won't finish it.    … Expand

    This game is not as great as I was hoping. There is a lot of recycling from old games and the open world is no more exciting than any other open world game with too much dead space. There is no cool way to get around. It's just another game with a horse. Graphics are dated and frame rate is subpar for a game with equivalent graphics. No innovation here. Just another Dark Souls. Wait for a sale.

Name another game that has so much variation in landscape and bosses. There are literally secret encounters everywhere on this map, from dungeons to little villages with a HUGE variety in enemy type.

    The gaming press has done a huge disservice to the gaming world by hyping this as a perfect game. If you have not played these games before but were convinced by the reviews, I recommend you hold out for BotW2. This is a niche game that shows zero respect for newcomers to the genre.

    So, fed up reading these noobs crying about no difficulty scaling and all nonsense I wrote this. What on earth kids export? If you haven't played souls / soulslike games why are you here? If you had, why are you crying?

    From made the best possible mix they could from ds and open world rpgs qnd guess what: best game for a long time.

    10/10 And GOTY for me

    One word: MASTERPIECE
    While the performance may have dips -- which would be worse on last-gen consoles but might be fixed sonner or later --, its open-world, combat and Martin's writing makes Elden Ring among FromSoftware's best works and a high contestant and dangerous competition for 2022's future games for Game of the Year prize. Bad FPS but still amazing game.

    - Poor performance.
    - Graphics feel a little outdated but the art direction compensates this downside, however, it could be better.
    - Technical issues in general (hopefully will be fixed).

    This is a huge step forward in the souls series, exploring the world is addictive and unless you are having game breaking issues, you will enjoy this very much.    … Expand

    Amazing, easy contender for game of the decade. It’s the combat of Dark Souls 3 and exploration of BTOW but both elements are elevated and improved drastically. The content available easily takes over 60 hours, with immediate replayability.

    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.
