    Horizon: Forbidden Purchase fans are here crying that their cookie cutter open world game isn't as loved as something that is probably twice its size and three times more exciting. Voting 10 both because of my personal experience and because the review bombers can suck on a big toe.

    I adore this game; it is probably FROMSOFTWARE's greatest game. The open world seems alive despite its size, the NPCs have meandering questlines, and the bosses keep me focused even after I've played for 100+ hours. I've completed the game once and am currently working on a second playing. If all of this remains true across several playthroughs, this may be my favorite game of all time.

    A must play, people who are giving it bad reviews are just complete ass and expect games to hold your hand. This is it Chief. It’s a master piece. If you want a game that respects you and believes you aren’t an idiot and you can overcome the challenge. Pick it up and become the Elden Lord. Tarnished.

    I am 20 hours into the game and I can say that it is the best Fromsoft game so far. It even surpasses Bloodborne and Dark souls 1. The openword is so lively and I have a lot of fun with the game.

    If you rush you can make it the hardest Souls game you've ever played.

    You can pretty much ignore all the poor scores if they mention technical issues, because not only are they already halfway fixed after a day, they really weren't that bad to begin with.

    The game itself might be as close to a perfect game as mankind can get. You are given a horse to explore this souls like world, but you will barely have time to ride it because there is just so much stuff to explore. I have found myself saying "ok I will just ride to that town I've been heading to all day." But about thirty seconds into my ride I see a tomb door enticing me inward. The result is I spend the next hour fighting through some underground level to fight a boss and take am ash of war or a special item or a weapon.

    And this exact thing happens a lot, each time the enemies are totally different, the boss is totally unique and the loot feels well earned.

    Not only is the game addicting but it looks amazing. Sometimes I actually have to stop and just look at the scenery. The textures are a bit dated, as they are with all Fromsoftware games, but the ambiance and lighting totally steel the show and you entirely forget about dates textures. The questing system is by far the best I have ever seen in an open world game or From game. Sometimes you will be exploring and find a random NPC who will just have a few dialogue options and it seems like nothing important. But in reality, that NPC as a hidden side quest that is triggered by giving them an item and ultimately unlocks a major function of upgrading. Or else grants you a very powerful weapon. People who say the game is boring either haven't played a souls game and thus don't understand how to find secrets in these games, or are too quick to judge and didn't actually spend time doing anything besides slapping dudes as a hero.

    That's the next big thing in this game, the character creation is even more open than ever. If you played DS3 and wished for better magic and faith options you're in luck, they have been massively enhanced this time around and playing a mixed build for say faith and strength is a bit more interesting now.

    Don't trust 0/10, this game is probably the best game of the souls genre and a very very good game in general.    … Expand

    The game is amazing. I spent 30 hours into the game and I haven’t even seen the second main boss yet. It’s just so addictive. You literally can go anywhere for hours without getting bored at all. No long cinematic. Just grab your sword cast your spell and be ready to die over and over. This is the best game of the year. This is a must play.

    Everything I was hoping for and more. Fromsoft just doesn’t miss, does it. Feels like every part of the world, the many stories of the characters and the combat was so meticulously planned. Beautiful to look at, fun and smooth to play and jaw droppingly filled with content everywhere. One of the greatest games ever made.

    A phenomenal game that truly shows how far FromSoftware had come as a developer. However, if you don't love the previous FromSoftware titles, you probably won't enjoy this game, as it handles itself differently then a lot of other games in the mainstream. Although, if you have wanted to try a FromSoftware game, then this is a good place to start!

    It has everything I love about souls games, but on top it has exploration like BotW and Skyrim. It's a dream come true imo. This is as good as it gets for me. 10/10.

    60fps arent stable on PS5. It dips to the 40 and 50s occasionally, but that doesn't affect my enjoyment of this game at all.

    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.
