    This is my first type of dark souls type of game i have ever played. The only reason i gave it a chance is because im a open world SNOB. At first, I hated the game.

    Elden Ring is, as the critics are saying, a masterpiece.

I think FromSoftware still has some improvements they could make to the way their multiplayer works, but it certainly is unique and the audience FromSoftware has spent the past 13 years cultivating seems to generally like it. It's just a bit unwieldy and difficult to grasp at first. But, as with all things, practice makes it much easier.

    Beyond that criticism, there isn't much I can say against Elden Ring. It's open world is full of interesting and unique encounters. As you progress through the game, it constantly throws curveballs at you, so that you never quite know what to expect.

    The combat is fun, action-packed, and exciting. It also requires forethought and planning - this isn't a hack'n'slash game. It's an RPG.

    The graphics look great. I'm seeing people say "the game runs terrible on PS5." I have a PS5. I haven't seen anything "terrible" about the game I've been playing for the past 40+ hours. I've been playing it with friends who have PS4s. I've heard exactly 0 complaints from them about any aspects of the game's graphics. The art design is also spectacular. FromSoft really knows how to make an enemy that you see and immediately think, "$#(@! I really don't know if I even WANT to fight that thing..." Likewise, the music in the game really sets the tone of the world perfectly, and it amps up considerably during memorable encounters.

    The story is very interesting, but it's told in a sparse and subtle way. If you have played FromSoft games before, you know this. If you haven't, you've probably heard it before. It honestly shouldn't be a surprise if you do literally ANY research into the game before you buy it (which you should always be doing - don't buy a game you know nothing about and don't buy a game based on a single trailer you watched on TV). The narrative is very open and freeform. It doesn't give you a questlog. Instead, you must actually LISTEN to NPCs and deduce what it is they require of you. There are no markers on the map telling you that "the finish line for the side quest is here."

    I encourage anyone who likes RPGs or open-world games to check out Elden Ring. Do some research on FromSoftware games if you've never played one to find out if this is an experience you'll enjoy. This is the most accessible that a FromSoftware game has ever been, but that still doesn't mean everyone will like it.

    Before you take one of the reviews that gives this game a 0 (which is, frankly, insane) seriously, be sure to check the poster's review history. Chances are high that they either made an account purely to give Elden Ring a 0, or they only give 0s to universally beloved games because...I dunno? I guess it makes them feel original or unique to have such an "edgy" viewpoint? I can only assume, after reading most of the 0-4 rating reviews, that these people have not played the game much, if at all, and/or are just bitter that other people are happy about a new Souls-like game when they've never enjoyed FromSoftware games.    … Expand

Elden Ring however, has me completely engrossed. FromSoftware hit a home run with this title. Games have flaws, and by no means is Elden Ring flawless. Those flaws however don’t affect gameplay in the slightest. If you’re able to ignore the **** on social media about this game, and just accept you’re going to die a lot until you figure things out, then this game will blow you away. Graphics may not be the best for a game released in 2022, but I haven’t found a game that just makes me stop everything and just look at the depth, the artwork, the sheer volume of detail put into these landscapes. Mob design is thrilling, I would be hard pressed to find the imagination going into these assets anywhere else.

    The story leaves a lot to your interpretation near the beginning and quest lines are hard to follow. I kept a notepad and pen with me to keep track of NPCs and locations. I haven’t done that for a game in years and it made me so excited. With that being said some quests left a bit to be desired, but the main story. I found myself wanting to find out more about locations and the main bosses. Gameplay. This is what it comes down to me for games. Bad story? If there’s amazing gameplay I can look past it. If a game has the best graphics the gaming industry has ever seen, but terrible gameplay, I won’t even bother. Elden Ring does not have the best graphics, or the best story (not saying either are awful, they are both great), but the gameplay just has you coming back for more. If you’ve died to a boss 20 times, you don’t give up because you think you have just figured out how to deal with his moves. You didn’t, but you try either way. If you get frustrated you can go off and fight smaller mobs and get stronger to meet that boss again. This is one of the best games I have ever played. That’s completely my own opinion, I was extremely happy with my purchase and the replay ability is there. So I will be enjoying this game for the foreseeable future.

That's not fun. That's not what gaming is about in my opinion. Be warned… Expand

You look a bit in a random zone and oh look, and completely optional dungeon for you to explore!), and bad graphics (really? The texture are pretty good, but the art direction is amazing. The overworks looks fantastic). Overall, you should probably listen to the actually reviewers for once and understand that the people giving it a 0 because it doesn’t run at 900 fps at are exaggerating. Pc player with a mid range pc here btw, never once felt like a death was caused by a random lag spike in 10 hours of playtime.

    Sometimes all you need to do, is just get good with the in-game mechanic. This is the first open-world souls game, with various vistas and corner to explore which will rewards you (or punished you) in a unexpectable way. A word of warning though, it's extremely addictive and challenging so make sure you only ventured in it in your free time.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of coursed influenced by my personal opinions.

    (8)Very Good. Innovative, but perhaps not the right choice for everyone. This score indicates that there are many good things to be had, but arguably so.

    So I have tried to play Dark Souls Two, and Dark Souls Three but didn't get too far. I would lose interest in the Story because you had to hunt for the information. I did beat Bloodborne though even though you had to hunt for the story in that one too. I enjoyed the combat more in Bloodborne which is probably why I ended up finishing it. I ended up trying Elden Rings since people where saying they were changing up the formula and making it more open and exploratory. I still dislike hunting for the story and I felt like the open world hurt the series more than there previous formula. I enjoyed figuring out a zone and clearing it in the past games and just felt clueless on what I'm suppose to do in this game. I would YouTube it to figure out the story expecting more only to be disappointed. I've learned that this just isn't one of my genre of games. I want to experience a story and not go on a treasure hunt. I see why others like it but it's not for me.    … Expand

What am I supposed to do? Why is the first boss I face this gigantic sentinel?” It wasn’t until I realized “Hey dummy, just run past the sentinel. Go explore and find out what you’re supposed to do” that I really started to appreciate this game. There’s very little hand holding here. At first I felt this was to the games detriment however after figuring out some of the mechanics and focusing on leveling up my build properly (I was trying to put runes into a little bit of everything at the beginning) I started to appreciate how special this game is. It’s kind of like putting together a puzzle without a reference picture. Yeah it’ll be challenging but give it time, find the corner pieces and start making the boarder. I’m about 35 hours into the game and am not close to being done. However as the game progresses my enjoyment has continued to increase. The games bosses can be tough but fair. And if you can’t beat them right away go and get more runes to level up. From what I have gathered there’s no penalty to holding off on fighting bosses. I’ve had a great time playing Elden Ring. Overall I’d say 9/10 is a fair assessment. It is close to a 10/10 however I do think the developers could have added a journal or log of some kind for all of the little side quests and NPCs you meet. There’s a ton and I found it super easy to forget about quest lines. You can use map markers but NPCs will bounce around the map sometimes. If you struggled at the beginning of this game like me I’d say go back and have another try. Really commit to a specific build. Find a weapon you really like and upgrade it early. If you’re stuck or don’t know where to start seek out the community online! There’s a ton of great resources out there that are designed to help newcomers like us.… Expand

You can tell the world is hand crafted and not procedurally assisted by a computer program. Every little thing seems to have it's place and you don't see a lot of repeating assets or structures, everything was designed and put in place with a specific intention. It's the same amazing quality with the open world encounters, they all feel unique and each one feels new, not like most open worlds that have their world filled to the brim with cut n paste instances of the same 5 or 6 mission types and a map filled with quest icons leaving nothing as a surprise as to where and what you'll find. Fromsoftware deserves praise of the highest order for this masterpiece, I've never played anything quite like it. It's a souls fans dream come true the way this game was made, secrets everywhere that most people will miss and never even know was there without looking up a guide. Tons of enemy types, hugely varied environments that manage to blend perfectly, tons of bosses and mini bosses, super addictive progression mechanics like usual for them, it's a challenging game that doesn't hold your hand. It makes you earn your progress and earn secrets, it doesn't just hand it to you with a checklist of chores to do that takes you there. I dont use this word lightly but this game IS a masterpiece . Nothing is perfect but this is as close to perfection that I've seen in my 3+ decades of gaming and at this point it's probably the all around best game Ive ever played. Btw, FromSoftware, you guys are f Gods and all developers should model their games after yours. New gamers, If you want your hand held through everything, do not buy this, but if you want a rewarding experience that may be tough and frustrating at first but if you stick with it you will be rewarded far more than you can imagine and understand why the hype from the cult fanbase is so rapid and this dev is becoming so popular and loved. Like in the matrix, no one can be told what souls fandom is, you have to see it for yourself and it must be experienced to understand. If you make it through any of their games you'll likely be a convert for life and know why no one wants big shanges to cator to a wider audience. If I can play these games anyone can.… Expand

    By far the greatest fromsoftware game to date. The open world aspect brings a level of immense exploration, and the game is simply packed full of content. Every boss seems unique and each area brings a whole new vibe to the games atmosphere. Everything about this game from my experience has been a masterpiece.

The game on PS5 does have some frame drops and textures popping in, but it's not at the level where it actually causes problems while playing. Like at all. Gameplay is what you'd expect from souls, but with new features that make it more fun like countering after a guard, ashes of war, horseback combat, and the open world itself. The open world isn't boring at all. There's no major towns or cities, so if that is what you need in an open world game maybe this isn't for you. It's more like BotW's open world, but more crammed with things to see and do. Graphically the game is beautiful. The style and colours are amazing, especially compared to the bleakness of DS3. Yes the graphics aren't as good as Demons Souls Remake, but that was a remake with the express purpose of maxing the graphics. Not to mention, Elden Ring is a game that is cross-generation. It's not supposed to push next gen to its limits, anyone expecting it should have is just delusional. I've been thoroughly enjoying the game and would easily give it a 10/10.

Elden Ring is kind of everything you have already seen in other Miyazaki games put together in a very smart way, plus an incredible blend of open world landscape and intelligent level design. Legacy dungeons are just what you would expect from a From Software game, with an added dimension of verticality and an even more complex construction, while outside the dungeons you have a vast world full of secrets and dangers (with respective rewards). After 15 hours I went back to the first area and found A LOT of things left to do, and none of them were boring or useless (unlike most open world games). The only problems are really "just" technical. I hope they will be solved soon enough, but it IS quite a scandal that a cross-gen game does not run properly on any platform. On horse there is massive pop-in, as well as when you respawn, and frame drops are far from being rare even in performance mode. At least, I found there is less input lag and much faster loadings (thanks to PS5 SSD). Dying is less painful now that you can respawn in less than 5 seconds.… Expand

    The game world's both dangerous and beautiful and exploring it is very rewarding, the downside of this is that if you explore too much you might end up with many powerful tools early on and making the bosses easier than they should be.
    On the performance side it has texture popping issues and some small frame drops here and there, other than that it runs on a smooth 60 fps on performance mode in PS5 and a little bit less smoothly on graphics mode.

As someone who has played and beaten most of the souls games multiple times, this is a dream come true. An open world dark souls just makes so much sense. Every game rewarded exploring, and this does that times a million. A vast and punishing world, where if you're getting stomped by a boss for a few hours, you can leave and explore a new area to gain more runes and level your character/weapons. And on the way you might find a new weapon, or armor set. Maybe a golden seed or sacred tear to upgrade your flasks. Then you can go back and beat the boss. In all the other souls games, you'd have to farm souls for hours, but this makes it possible to not do that, while it is still available if you want too. People are frustrated with boss mechanics and timing, but I've actually enjoyed overcoming some of this. They definitely changed some of the timing in comparison to ds1 through 3. I've noticed some of the bosses have crazy long swings that are at first hard to navigate around when used to the quick movements of most of the previous game bosses. I like that they made it more accessible in some ways for new players, but made it even harder in other ways for souls veterans. At about half way through the game, I can easily say this is up there for the best from software game, and one of the best open world games of all time.

The minibosses, although sometimes recycled added a lot of enjoyment, and sometimes Even more challenge than major bosses. You can Tell every area apart just from looking at a screenshot, the color schemes are different and varied to separate them. The orange/yellow altus to the blue liurnia, the reds of caelid.

    The performance was mostly 55+ fps, worst drops happening in altus to maybe 45. A few small fps drops here and There Dont deter from my enjoyment either. Frames never dropped during bosses either.

    The enemy variety is frankly impressive, say compared to breath of the wild(Another great Open world game).

    The jump button allows for a verticality in fromsofts world design and torrent helps with traversing huge swathes of land while taking in the scenery. This game is truly the first time Ive experienced ”If You can see it You can go There”.

    The bosses are all a treat. Margit is a great first boss, teaching players that This game Isnt going to go easy on you. I can genuinely say that there isn’t a single bad boss, compare it to say, Dark souls 2 where basically every boss except maybe knight alonne is pretty bad and not memorable at all.

    The ashes of war is one of the best new additions to elden ring. The freedom it gives is a great addition to increase build variety. Mash all of This together and You get one of the best games of all time. I genuinely cant Think of any issues other than performance at some points.    … 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.
