    Best game ever made, especially if you're a FromSoftware fan. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.

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. I have only played about 5 hours. But this game is simply unbelievably good. In no way can you justify a 0/10 with this game. That’s just nuts.… Expand

    Legit best game of all time. All the people complaining aren’t familiar with souls games and want a casual game to hold their hands and baby them, or they’re complaining about graphics. Are you serious? Graphics is your reason for a zero? Please. If you’re not willing to break out of your casual shell then go back to playing Pokémon. If you are open to it however then get this game and beLegit best game of all time.

    In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work - and their selves - to our judgement.

We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work - and their selves - to our judgement. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.

    But there are times when a critic truly risks something - and that is in the discovery and defence of the New. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The New needs friends. Last night I experienced something new: an extraordinary game from a singularly expected source. To say that both the Elden and its maker FromSoftware have challenged my preconceptions about fine game design is a gross understatement.
    They have rocked me to my core.

    In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto; "anyone can design" But I realise, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now directing at FromSoftwares - who is, in this critic's opinion, nothing less than the finest Kojima in the World!

    I will be returning to Limgrave soon - hungry for more    … Expand

    When we said ''Big Dark Souls'', we weren't wrong. However, we weren't completely right either. This game is so much more. It takes the core gameplay of Dark Souls III and expands it into a true open world experience. Already my all time favourite game.

I personally went with a chad strength build, but you can also do magic, faith, dexterity builds etc. Also please keep in mind that this is a fromsoft title, meaning that it can be very difficult, but don't let that discourage you from playing this master piece.… Expand

    The game of the decade? Certainly. Why ? The call of adventure in the face of a world that speaks only with its ruins and its fragments of stories. A game where the characters are not generic and a game that does not seek to please everyone but only those who love video games as a whole.

    Es el mejor juego de mundo abierto que e jugado, para mi supera por mucho a zelda botw. Gráficamente no esta al nivel de los juegos punteros de la generación, pero lo compensa con un apartado artístico sublime. Y aunque técnicamente a salido regular, almenos en m8 caso, no han sido graves. Una obra maestra sin duda.

    From Software's MASTERPIECE. It all started with Demon Souls's level structure, then levels were jointed together and we got Dark Souls. Now we have multiple levels in a full open world map. EPIC. DEFINITELY A MUST PLAY.

    Единственное, чего не хватало - более внятного сюжета.

    A beautiful, immersive and challenging game. It follows the old dark souls to the letter, with a dark theme, sinister mobs, a pretty and beautiful world to explore, full of corners and places (in some cases, literally a whole map) totally hidden.

    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.
