    L’esperienza souls definitiva .
    Un titolo carico di adrenalina e ricco di sfide che sa mettere i giocatori in condizioni di stress ma che sa ricompensarli a dovere , un titolo con delle meccaniche rinnovate e un level designe di alto livello . Non esente da bug (di lieve entità)ma del tutto trascurabili in confronto all’epicità di questo prodotto

    One of the best games I've ever played. It's endlessly brutal but gives you a lot of options to come back to a boss stronger.

If you're stuck, explore the beautifully crafted, atmospheric map and level up, use the life-saving spirit ashes, or get help from a friend. The game respects your intelligence, dropping you off in a world with no guide, allowing you to explore and make your own path. I'm sure everyone's experience is different. I couldn't believe how big the map is, it just opens up more and more as you go along. This also features some of the most exhilarating boss fights I've played, and the forgiving placement of grace sites allows you to keep trying without having to run through a portion of a castle, fighting enemies, and losing your health before you even get to the boss again.

    The story line is a little obtuse, you'd definitely need to do some extra homework to fully grasp all the things at play here, but it's all secondary. What comes first is the art design, atmosphere, and addictive gameplay.    … Expand

    Elden Ring is one of the best game ever made.
    It has everything. Great combat, beautiful landacapes, a great sense of exploration plus a brand new (sensazionale) mithology and, as From Software usual, great boss fights.

    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.

    Incredibly well made game. Never have i ever enjoyed exploring as much as i did in this game. Finally a map with not a single icon on it, you start with an empty map, whatever you explore gets added to the map. The online mode is also incredibly fun. Deserves all the perfect scores it got.

    As a new souls player I was like many other players apprehensive about purchasing the game. The first 6 hours were tough but vital for the rest of my adventure in the lands between.

The first 6 hours were tough but vital for the rest of my adventure in the lands between. I died many times and didn’t gain any runes but I did enjoy the exploration and eventually I gained the satisfaction of killing a boss and some difficult enemies. After these 6 hours I experienced without doubt the greatest game I have ever played (2nd isn’t even close by the way). I’ve spent around 160 hours in the game and will be completing multiple playthroughs. Fantastic world design, exploration, multiple armor sets, weapons, skills, varied enemy design and some fantastic boss fights. My warning to new players is the game does not hold your hand and will not give you a clear path. You will have to explore and pay attention to the the dialogue for little clues and lore. If side quests interest you then you will need a guide. Some of the side quests are excellent and full of lore but easy to fail or get lost. I know some won’t like doing this but the lore, boss fights and rewards make it worth doing. I’m at the end of my first playthrough and have just defeated the hardest boss (optional) and already planning my next one. 10/10 Insane rating… Expand

    It is still challenging, but I really enjoy that if something is way too hard at the moment, you can just do something else.

    This way the game is far less frustrating and repetitive.

    Exploration is rewarding, this is the first FS game shere I really discover every nook and cranny of fhe map.

    One thing I still cannot get used to is the style of storytelling. Especially in the terms of very obscure story events. Talk 3 times to an NPC to unlock. A dialogue option, do things in weird soecific order, otherwise the NPC dies, etc.

    I am not saying it is bad, it's just not my cup of tea.

    But all in all it is a very solid game, I really like thay you can approach battles with different tactics. Mounted or on foot, using summons, spirits, etc. It give real variety, if something is not working, you can actually change tactics.

    Oh and I found no performance issues on PS5    … Expand

    Absolute stunning game, runs even very well on my PS4! The Atmosphere is very unique and the world ingame design reminds me a lot of Zelda BOTW, which I fairly liked a lot too. Although its not completely my type of genre and just a handful of few things I couldn’t get warm with, personally seeing the game overall more like a 8.5-9, I‘ll give it a 10 just to counter all those butthurt reviews.

This is FromSoftware's magnum opus no doubt, and holds the new place for top open world game of all time. I love that it isn't hand-holdy and respects the player enough to let them just play the game instead of chasing objectives and map markers, this was a huge concern of mine when I found out the souls formula was being adapted to open world. So many great strides made in this game and I can only hope more developers follow suit. Ubisoft and Bethesda eat your hearts out. This is the way you do an open world video game.… Expand

    Love this game and a big fromsoftware fan. It's not to every one's taste tho. It's tough and doesn't hold your hand. You have to explore and unravel the land betweens mysterys yourself. The combat it fluid, tough and varied. Shame its not optimizer properly but plays well on ps5. Loving it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a long time soulsbournekiro fan (my first from software game being dark souls a week before dark souls 2 came out on PC) I can safely say after nearly 200 hours of gameplay, Elden Ring is a souls game at heart and incorporates the best of the franchise while showing AAA studios how moving into open-world is done. This game is far from perfect but the fact that it holds true to it's roots while seamlessly transitioning into the ever-populated open-world market to open up to a wider audience shows that this studio continues to deliver masterclass game design while not holding back on fan service for their long term fans!… Expand

Youll stop and just think, or stop and take in your surroundings, stop to just appreciate what a fantastic experience it is and the world you find yourself surrounded by. Finally a game delivers on the hype and over delivers in such a way it leaves me at a loss for a good explanation of how absolutely fantastic it is. Its like im playing a game im nostalgic for even though its brand new and fresh and right in front of me. For the first time in a long time i think about a game even when not playing, wanting to jump back in throughout the day. This game could be priced at triple what they sold it for and id be happy to pay it. I feel like i ripped the game company off this time… 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.
