    The game is simply too difficult mid game. Would be much better if more accessible.

    This game doesn’t have a story, has no purpose, no plot, no anything. It’s basically just a walking simulator with boring combat here and there. Most expensive unfinished tech demo I’ve ever played. Hopefully they stop making games after this pile of crap.

    I have beaten every souls game prior to this one. I love the series, and I am happy with difficulty. But this game breaks the cardinal rule of the From Software design philosophy up until this point. In any previous game, when you lost, that loss would be fair, and something you could have seen coming, and worked your way around if you had been more tactical.

But this game breaks the cardinal rule of the From Software design philosophy up until this point. In any previous game, when you lost, that loss would be fair, and something you could have seen coming, and worked your way around if you had been more tactical. That is the joy of the souls games. Improving. Not just getting stronger, but getting smarter.

    This game doesn't do that. It simply hates you. There are bosses that are literally invisible unless you have a specific torch from a vendor halfway across the world map. There are bosses that can kill you in a single hit, even if you have maximum health and the heaviest armor the game allows. There are enemies that will swarm you and take turns attacking you so that you are locked in a pattern of stuns from which you can't escape. There are enemies with their backs turned that are programmed to get up and charge you even if you are invisible.

    Previous games operated on the rule that if you lost, it had to be fair. You had to have done something wrong in order to fail. In this game, you lose simply because of a coin flip. Or because the game was programmed with a pit fall that you had no way to predict. Or even worse, that breaks the pre-established rules the game set up.

    This game breaks its own rules, and does it just to screw up the player.

    Elden Ring.

    If only I could get back my time and money wasted on this piece of **** Obscenely difficult gameplay ruins what could have been a half decent game. Most expensive Frisbee I've ever bought...

    I fell for the hype and wasted my money really boring game, graphics are dated, story has no substance, npc's are lifeless, lack of story makes it feel like there's no point or backstory to this game.

    The character animations are poorly done and make the combat feel inconsistent. I tried to get my moneys worth from this but feel hard done by.

    El peor juego que ha hecho FromSoftware hasta la fecha, bajones de fps constantemente tanto en PS5 como en Xbox Series X, ni hablar de lo facil que es comparado a otros souls, el juego aburre casi el 99% de las veces, de los pocos juegos que no veia la hora de terminar para guardarlo en su caja y no tocarlo nunca mas, Dark Souls 2 es 10mil veces mejor, 97 puntos? surrealista

    This game is mind blowingly stupid. You will die a 1000 times and lose your stuff before anything significant happens. I cannot understand how this pile of crap got game of the year.

    Gioco con una grafica agghiacciante, privo di storia e di intrattenimento. Mondo estremamente vuoto e personaggi senza alcun carattere. Sinceramente non capisco come abbia fatto un gioco del genere a vincere i GOTY... Cioè è un gioco dove: vai in giro, aumenti di livello, vai dai boss, li ammazzi e poi ripeti tutto da capo.

    This game seemed fun, however, it is so disgustingly hard that it is unplayable. Every attempt to find a solution to the diffuclty is met with "gIT GuD nOoB"

    The game is very repetitive, all bosses look the same, i played all the previous souls game, it should be titled as a souls like game because its a souls game

    I don't really like this game, the graphics do not look too great and the bosses are insanely hard, I think the story is good and everything but it is not worth GOTY in my opinion, stray would be a better option

    The game is complex and unclear, the story is like that, and the world is repetitive, as well as the tasks are available in more than one game, in fact, it did not bring anything new

    Everything feels the same like the old souls but with open world
    Didn’t feel the story have much to tell and because the open world for sometimes i forgot what where and when i basically need to do
    This game is exhausting and 5-6 hours in the game are really enough for me I loved the demon souls remake and dark souls 3 and im an hard fan of bloodborne Nothing more to say i wish them luck    Everything feels the same like the old souls but with open world

    The most overrated garbage. What’s good about this game? The clunky garbage combat with ps2 animations? I hope this trend with this kinda Soulsborne garbage ends cause they’re so damn overrated without a reason.

    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.
