    Most fun I've ever had playing a video game. My only issue is the lack of new enemies in a certain late-game area (MotG), as well as certain RPG elements being overwhelmingly better than others. Both of these really only take effect at the very end of the game, and you can just speed through the mid area and swap builds very easily, so they basically didn't detract from my fun at all.Most fun I've ever had playing a video game.

Outro ponto que em pleno 2022, a Fromsoftware mantém os mesmos erros de armas atravessando paredes e a movimentação ruim de seus jogos. Definitivamente existe uma proteção em volta da Fromsoftware, pois já vi jogos recebendo duras criticas por conta desses problemas.

    No mais, é um jogo que vale a pena ser jogado, principalmente se voce curte os games dessa empresa.    … Expand

    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.

    this game is simply GOTY (I hope) what they have done here is simply a MASTERPIECE, but let's break it down

    1 - THE MAP: The Elden Ring map is simply something I haven't seen in a while, an open world that WORKS! there is no one guiding you, there is no yellow line guiding you, there is no map in the corner of the screen, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! The game just throws you into that huge and    this game is simply GOTY (I hope) what they have done here is simply a MASTERPIECE, but let's break it down

    1 - THE MAP: The Elden Ring map is simply something I haven't seen in a while, an open world that WORKS! there is no one guiding you, there is no yellow line guiding you, there is no map in the corner of the screen, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! The game just throws you into that huge and intuitive world that you don't even know where to start exploring, and when you think you're done there's MORE, everything you see is not just a PNG to give the idea that there's a world, everything it's an area for me to explore, for example when you arrive in liurnia dos lagos you see something that looks like a castle, and you arrive at the castle and think "ok I'm going to go in and it's going to be quick, never would anyone put so much work into a simple castelinho" me when you see you're inside raya's academy it would be a huge area with more than 7+ hours of gameplay if you're going to explore everything 2 - THE BOSSES: kinda repetitive and few are memorable, you can understand because it's a huge game, but you could at least work on some models maybe

    3 - THE COMBAT: like dark souls with some modifications you can put special attacks on weapons and there are some different movements

    4 - GRAPHICS: it doesn't matter that much, after all, a game is not made of graphics BUT OH MY GOD EVERY PLACE I LOOK IN THIS GAME IS A PICTURE

    5 - ONLINE: good for invoking help, but for pvp it's not that good

    6 - PLATFORMS: I played on PlayStation 4 and then on PlayStation 5 when I bought it and ok, but before launch I had bought it for PC and... I don't know how it is today but at that time it was very poorly optimized

    7 - HISTORY: I'm too lazy to research it but it doesn't matter much

    8 - SHOULD YOU BUY?: Absolutely! it's so worth it, 221 hours I spent of my life, could I have spent it on something good for me? yes, but still... i have no regrets, thank you FROMSOFTWARE and hope this wins GOTY    … Expand

    Não me lembro a última vez que mergulhei tão profundamente em um universo de um jogo. Esse jogo é especial. Queria opções que facilitassem um pouco o progresso em alguns pontos chave da história. Mas entendo que parte do meu gosto pessoal e entendo que é diferente da proposta do jogo. Ainda assim, é um jogo imperdível e um marco na indústria.

    It's difficult to put into words how satisfying the gameplay and polish of this game is but it's truly a crowning jewel of From Software's incredible efforts in the last few years. Few games give you this level of challenge to reward ratio and Elden ring is worth your time for this reason alone.

    Elden ring is incredible, a great game for new and old players in the Genre. It's enough different whilst still feeling the same. But its sadly a game plagued with all the issues of open world and a poor launch for performance and some issues with online balance.

    Elden ring is one of the best designed open worlds i've ever seen, you could literally put a 2 minute stop watch on repeat and before the timer stops you'd fine something interesting in the world every single time. It's designed that way, a place of interest spread so every 1-2 minutes the player is distracted by something new.

    it's the most accessible Fromsoft game to date, if you use the tools the game gives you, its by far the easiest game we've had (aside from 1-2 bosses being over tuned for this exact reason) which is great for new players, and if you want the brutal challenge this genre has become famous for, you can adjust the difficulty by just not using spirit ashes or co-op play.

    It's weapon design is great and so is its enemy design.

    Sadly however, the game suffers from overuse of assets due to it being an open world game. It also had a really bad launch with crashing and low frame rates.    … Expand

The world is big, but you can not explore it easily, and many areas are restricted. In my opinion, I think being able to just go anywhere on the map easily would benefit this game, similar to Zelda. On a positive note, I do think that the gameplay and difficulty are perfect, despite how hard it is. I do think this game definitely has its moments, especially when you are fighting a boss. This game probably has the most variety in terms of enemies and biomes, but a lot of the biomes are just bland and ugly. Another complaint I have is that the weapon/armor system is horrible. There is just way too many weapons that it becomes incredibly overwhelming to choose a good one that fits you. If someone were to ask me if they should buy Elden Ring, I would tell them that it really depends on the type of games that you like to play.… Expand

    История и сюжет. Наверно это самый слабый, скучный и неинтересный лор из всех soulslike игр FromSoftware… Мотивация и заинтересованность крайне слабые, чтобы двигаться вперед.

    Персонажи. Каждый npc прописан грамотно и добротно, в чем разработчики преуспели еще в предыдущих играх. Однако наш персонаж (со времен Demon’s Souls) - безликая тень без голоса, эмоций и характера. Мир и    История и сюжет.

    Персонажи. Каждый npc прописан грамотно и добротно, в чем разработчики преуспели еще в предыдущих играх. Однако наш персонаж (со времен Demon’s Souls) - безликая тень без голоса, эмоций и характера.

    Мир и локации. Вы будете под впечатлением первые 60 часов игры. Локации пустые и растянутые, из-за чего все напоминает театр с декорациями. Разработчики постарались взять механику Dark Souls и натянуть на открытый мир, из-за чего что-то работает хорошо а что-то плохо. Подземелья - кроме как ctrl+c и ctrl+v я не могу объяснить их количество и качество.
    Многие локации для прыжков заточены под Sekiro, где механика более интересная. Тут персонаж прыгает неуклюже, лошадь неповоротлива и неудобна.
    Враги привязаны к своим локациям. Некоторые мини-боссы просто телепортируются домой, полностью восстановив свое здоровье. Если это и есть нововведение, то оно устарело на 5-10 лет.

    Боссы. Чтобы сосчитать действительно хороших боссов, хватит пальцев одной руки. Самое худшее, это взять обычного солдата/гаргулью/голема и нарисовать им полоску ХП. Подобных псевдо-боссов мы встречаем десятки раз за одно прохождение, отличающихся от своих копий только цветом, броней и оружием, с одной и той же анимацией.

    Графика. Привет Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3 и Sekiro. За 6 лет ничего не поменялось. Если эта графика выглядела сносно в 2015 и 2016, терпимо в 2019, то в 2022 это уже старье.

    Квесты. Их стало больше и это главный плюс, но в остальном это чистая механика из Dark Souls. Квесты разных персонажей переплетаются или идут по одиночным линиям, и стоит тебе не побывать в каком-то месте, не поговорить с одним персом, спустя 20 часов унылых подземелий и 5 копий одного босса, ты натыкаешься на его труп. Почему, зачем, как? Вы не получите ответов в Elden Ring как и в любой другой игре по душам.

    Ключевые предметы. В прошлых играх уделялось больше внимания мелочам - осколок титанита, мерцающий титанит, титанитовая чешуя и т. д. их невозможно спутать. А что у нас теперь? Кузнечный камень 1,2,3,4,5. Кузнечный камень мрака 1,2,3… Серьезно? Когда в Dark Souls 3 мы находим чей-то пепел, мы можем прочитать про его владельца, в Elden Ring у нас колокольные сферы, в которых ни единого слова про личность. Это даже не один, а два шага назад после серии душ.

    Итоги. Если полностью закрыть глаза на прошлые части, то Elden Ring покажется увлекательной, разнообразной в игровых механиках и щедрой на приключения. Если вы истинный ценитель темных душ, то вы найдете множество минусов, заимствований и само повторов, завернутых в красивый фантик.    … Expand

    Some of the artwork also seems off. Beautiful terrain, but then some screens seem like they were drawn by a child. A lot of the weapons (e.g., katanas) are ridiculously oversized, which creates a disproportionate effect.    … Expand

    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.
