    A masterpiece. Only people who don’t like it are people who can’t get good.

    Simply lovely! Beautiful, huge, and just gets bigger and bigger. All kinds of armor and weapons to customize your character however you like. One of the greatest games ever made. BELIEVE THE HYPE.

    I beat the game after a 215 hour first playthrough. Two weeks later, my gaming has moved on but my mind hasn't. I'm still reading about ER, thinking about it, and watching videos about it. No game has a ever gripped me like this.

    One of the best games ever made—period. The culmination of everything FromSoftware has created over the past 15 years, and a true masterpiece in almost every aspect. This will stand the test of the time and be considered among the classics in video game history. Please play this game.

    this game is truly mind boggling in scope. the artistic direction and world structure is genial. at every corner i feel the need to stop the game and just marvel at the scenery. Truly feels like a dream experiencing this masterpiece of a game. Thank you fromsoft, for making two of my favorite games ever made. Bloodborne and now Elden Ring.

    I'm about 15 hours in and confident that by the end of my playthrough I'll consider this my favorite FromSoft game (I've played and loved all of them since Demons Souls). This is their formula at its best, adapted thoughtfully to an expansive and captivating open world environment. While it's not for everyone, I do think it's the best entry point for anybody new to the franchise.

    As a massive souls fan, i can say that From Software and Miyazaki keeps pushing the boundaries and delivering masterpiece after masterpiece, this might be the best one of them, and even the best game i've ever played in my entire life.

    This is the new benchmark for open world games.
    Just to prove exploration, and mystery is enought to keep players engaged (and in awe) without the need for a cluttered world map full of icons for tidious tasks and fetch quests.
    Beautifully done From Sfotware.

    An absolute masterpiece. Brilliant boss designs, a wonderful open world and almost infinite combinations of equipment. More beginner-friendly than ever and still hard to beat. A recommendation to everyone.

    Elden ring is hands down the best game fromsoftware has delivered. The world is massive but by no means boring. So many things to explore, bosses to kill, builds to make DAMN we even got a sort of puzzle in the game. The variety of the enemies across the lands between is impressive, so many different enemies.

Elden ring offers everything the souls game offered and more. The world exploration is really fun because of the horse we now have. The bosses are all of amazing quality and they are accompanied by the amazing soundtrack Yuka Kitamura is famous for. The game is hard but not unfair and it gives the players so many ways to approach a battle or even flee from one. Have 0 issues with the ps5 version. Overall it exceeded my expectations, this game will make history.… Expand

    This is by far one of the very best games I've played in recent years, but its obscure clues of pushing the character forwards in the story makes it hard to recommend to anyone not willing to spend a lot of time digging into all the specific mechanics this game has to offer.

    Finally a game that is deserving of a 10/10 rating

    This game is perfect. It consumed my life for over a year. The right amount of difficult, a world you can literally get lost in, amazing soundtrack, amazing characters, deep lore. The DLC cannot come soon enough.

    This game is the best game I have played so far. Everything is perfectly done. The open world is excellent and better than any other game. The lore story is perfect. The game play is fantastic. I have played for over 200 hours and can't stop.

    Elden Ring is a joy and a masterpiece. It's not only one of the best RPGs, but it's one of the best games in general.

    Un perfecto Dark Souls en mundo abierto. El Lore es espectacular, acompañado de una banda sonora perfecta y muchos bosses. En cuanto a la dificultad, depende de cómo armes a tu personaje y de lo que farmees.

    It goes down to preference in some cases such as boss OSTs, but this game is otherwise better than any other souls game in almost every way.
    This is one of those games that feels you with extreme joy of how good it's made. The invasions are a bit messed up because of exploits people currently do; other than that, GOD TIER game. Thank you, Miyazaki!

    Great game aside from technical issues and occasional frame drops this game is incredible I would give it a 9 but since people are review bombing because of its difficulty I’ll raise it to a 10

    This game will be played/replayed for decades. An absolutely stellar experience that shouldn't be missed if you love exquisite, immersive gameplay and next-level art direction. And as far as open worlds go: From has humiliated Ubisoft and usurped Rockstar.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After the hell of Sekiro. I asked for a new Dark Souls. And they gave us what we wanted. An open world Dark Souls.
    Because it is the same game. They added some new things like the horse, jump, items, skills, etc but not so different like Sekiro and Bloodborne.
    Now talking about my gameplay. I didnt found the tutorial. Thats the worst way to start. After dying againts the Tree Sentinel, I followed the direction of the grace and killed Margit (first boss kill). Then I went to explore the map. And I found out I was playing horrible.
    Since I dont look for guides I didnt know where to go. Some enemies were easy but other were hard and this happens a lot.
    So, I did Limgrave, then Liurnia, then... oh no I did Al tus Plateau, and I killed Morgot. All before Radan because i though Caelid was a more difficult zone.
    Well, failing a lot of quest because of wrong paths. I managed to did some good quest in perfect order. And I am talking the hardest one, Ranni. Incredible to get an alternative final without a guide.
    But other quest were really bad because I.. killed them. Boggart was a thief, Hyetta was eating eyeballs, and Fia asked me to do it. In Fia and Boggart I lost something very useful but Hyetta give me what a iwanted the blood of maiden. I see this like a punish when the other games there was a reward for killing a villain character.
    About some ways to unlock zones. It sucks. It is very hard to do some of them even if they have two ways to do it.
    Anyway the bosses are beautiful. The big bosses are a very good experience. But when they bring them back it makes them mini-bosses is boring. And after dying 21 times againts Margit, the second one was Malenia with 15. The next ones are down 5. So I got a strong character (no mage) without knowing.
    I enjoyed this game a lot. Thanks From Software.    … Expand

    Elden ring is one of, if not the greatest game off all time. It reinvents what you expect from and open world game in the best way possible. There is an endless about of content from weapons to spells and much more. The world feels so alive and the addition of co op makes this game even better.

    Just Perfect for people who like exploring 10/10. Only disadvantage is the multiplayer, but who needs that in a Singleplayer Game

    Let's be clear, it's the goty 2022 and as such a lot of people will complain about it. The DA, the gameplay and the open world are irreprochable, the majors issues are the optimisation on PC and some donjons with copy/paste boss (it's the downside to have a OW so large that's you can't fill it with only original mobs). If you are a fan of the fromsoft games, you can go with eyes closed andLet's be clear, it's the goty 2022 and as such a lot of people will complain about it.

    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.
