    This is now one of my favorite games of all time. I started my souls born experience with Sekiro and moved on to dark souls 1, 2, and 3. Elden ring is a perfect combination of both and has exceeded my expectations in every way.

    One of the best games of the year.
    Great gameplay that gives a twist to the already amazing FromSoftware formula.
    Stunning Visuals and very beautiful world!
    Tons of content that you can dive for hundreds if not thousands of hours!

    The first game In a long time, that I can confidently say is just special. No one game has engrossed me like this since Skyrim back in 2011. Elden ring is surely a title we will be speaking about for years to come

    This game is overrated and I don't think so it should be something like game of the year 2022 on PS5 (maybe only in specific genre).

    The story looks really lazy and it´s not something what is giving powerful impulse to keep going. The game throw you inside the world just with basic information or without some further story which would give some more explanation what you doing here or who you are... Or maybe I missed something.
    The next issue is the figures you meet in this game, they miss some big charisma or individual emotions, just walking puppets. Talking about enemies and its AI is so simple like just ordinary scripting of easy-hard fighting modes and nothing more, walking dead bodies.
    Absence of some kind of life (living persons) makes you feel that you are walking thru the valley of doomed in one of circles belong to hell.
    This is just about slashing of monsters, soldiers and other freaks on each corner. I can´t avoid a feeling in my self of repetitive action after some time. Like walking thru damn hell which makes you feel more and more bored and bothered in some moments. I have to use one citation: „dying 9000 times against a one million HP bosses all the time isn't fun…“.
    About fighting and physics of your avatar, ough, the mechanics together with reaction times should be much more improved bcs it really s*cks in some moments (especially at fights). To the next, I think that most of players would welcome an option to choose difficulty level. One more thing, where is some dual-sense effect within PS5? I didn´t notice anything of the character during game play.
    Graphic aspect of this game looks nicely done but not something of next-gen proportions or something what should blow out my mind.
    In overall, it´s very good made and looks nice but it´s nothing what brings some new aspects within innovations. I think many things are taken (copied) from other games of same character and retransferred to this game. Example is the placing of messages during game play by other players, this is exactly the thing which has already been brought by Kojima into Death Stranding.
    I have to admit this is not a game for everyone, you can love it or hate it, nothing between. I much more enjoy game play of Ghost of Tsushima than something like that. I don´t understand the rating of popular magazines, maybe good payed by other side...
    This game has big potential be a game of games 2022 but this stood in some half way of idea to bring it on this level…    … Expand

    An overall must-do for all adventure-lovers.
    The graphics might be a bit dated for ps5, but Elden Ring’s universe makes up for it. The freeroaming is truly satisfying, and you kind of make up your own story.

    Unfortunately, the very dated gameplay and the unending bugs make your experience.. tarnished.
    You can sometimes spend several hours on a single non-boss enemy, whereas you would kill a boss in a few minutes. And that makes it very frustrating.

    Honestly: I regret the 30 hours of frustration i had, and the hilarious amount i paid for it.
    It basically is just a fighting simulator. There is nothing more in this game. Run around, fight difficult to impossible (for me) battles, grind endlessly, progress extremely slowly, and, from time to time, discover items that may or may not be useful for you.
    You will die a lot, lose all character progress regulairly, and generally, have no idea what this game is actually about. The story is non-existent, the world is extremely lifeless, and just filled with enemies that wait only or you, and the storyline will come to an end pretty fast, because you will just not be able to beat the bosses. At least, if you are a casual gamer iike me.
    Which forces you to battle easy opponents forever, as rewards and character developement are hardly more than a cosmetic feature.

    Of course there are ways to exploit the game, but as soon as i need youtube in a tab to achieve any chance of progression, a game has failed for me.

    My last experience in this game, after exploring the whole starting region desperately, was a sorceress who finally enabled me to learn new spells. Which gave me hope, that the torture had come to an end.
    And guess what: Those spells are far weaker than the weak ones, that you start with. Its a slap in the face, and im sure, that its an intended one.
    This is Elden Ring in a nutshell...    … Expand

    There are only 3 types of players in the world: those who love Elden Ring, those who don't like Souls-like titles and crybabies who complain for the sake of complaining, repeating what they heard from their favourite youtube reviewer that has decided to try to become cool by complaining about Elden Ring.

    Game is a masterpiece. Full stop.

    Elden Ring is not a casual game. It’s brutal & requires that no job gamer life. Do not buy if you only have a 1hr a day to play.
    It’s grind session & it’s more annoying than fun.

    I think the question you should ask before purchasing Elden Ring (or reviewing it) is asking why you play video games? People clearly enjoy this game but to rate it as one of the best games of all time only makes you qualify that in some way. Almost every positive review I see discuss From Software and it's prior games as a way to explain why they love it. That's all well and good- butI think the question you should ask before purchasing Elden Ring (or reviewing it) is asking why you play video games? People clearly enjoy this game but to rate it as one of the best games of all time only makes you qualify that in some way. Almost every positive review I see discuss From Software and it's prior games as a way to explain why they love it. That's all well and good- but rating it as a 10/10 implies that a game succeeds by essentially ever measure. I simply can't comprehend that for this game. The combat is tough but rewarding and there are certainly amazingly designed monsters and battles. That's the draw it seems. I played for hours and that's just not enough for me. I simply wasn't having fun because it lacks the things I love in an RPG. Character development is non-existent and your initial character choice makes little difference in the long run. The overall story is extremely vague and expects you to pick up a lot via context clues but unless you are familiar with the series and it's methodology it will go over most player's heads (and is still not particularly compelling). Side quests and NPCs are utterly boring. The open world is beautiful at first glance but ultimately feels lifeless and I really didn't have that much fun exploring it. People saying that this is one of the best parts of the game feels nuts to me and makes me question what other open world RPGs they've played (or not full open world RPGs too). AI is actually idiotic most of the time and sneaking is absurdly easy, which is an odd contrast to the difficulty of combat. Menu navigation is absurdly bad. There is no journal. Etc. The whole game lacks any character outside of sheer desolation. If you are into that vibe and the satisfaction of getting through something really hard - great. But that's not the only metric of a game and anyone who criticizes these aspects of the game is immediately scoffed at for not understanding Fromsoft games. I suppose you could rate this as a 10/10 if you what you care about is a game reaching the pinnacle of Fromsoft play design. Otherwise, how can a game be a perfect game when it alienates substantial portions of the people who bought the hype of an open-world RPG worked on by RR Martin and got slapped in the face by this game. I played this game for hours and hours hoping that it would grow on me and that maybe if I could just "git gud" it would become more fun. But after all that time- I simply can't justify putting any more into it. When I look back at playing this game I can honestly say it just simply wasn't compelling or fun for me. I'm glad all the FromSoft fans are pleased. That's truly awesome. But I feel like anyone considering a purchase needs to understand what it offers- and the many things it doesn't.… Expand

Though I wasn’t a dark souls fan I caved in because he said it was different. So right out the gate your thrown into battle not being told anything. Ok heard it was a little difficult so I’ll have to learn as I play. Which became one of my issues with the game. It tells you nothing just go. I learned later that there was a tutorial at the beginning. Doesn’t make sense to have it but hide it away from players. In that first hour of playing I tired to join up with my brother to play and neither of us could figure it out. As he watched videos on how to do it I explored some more. I was playing as a mage and what became very annoying was when I ran out of mana I’d tried to use a potion and I was left with an animation where he would just scratch his ass then shrug his shoulders then being killed. This would also happen when trying to use a summon in a boss fight. So we finally got the co op to work and as a mage I was now restricted to only 2 potions and no check points to restore them making me a warrior very quickly in the battle. After beating a boss you are kicked out of the game and must remake the item’s which isn’t hard to rejoin. So realizing that this game would take longer to play in co op we played solo instead. After running into box collecting missions it hit me I have no clue what this world is about and how to find what missions I’ve started. I get the whole you’ll find it when you come across it but I’ve forgot which castles or locations they asked me to go to. Then brought me back to the main story in the game. What is it. Why does everyone I talk to hate me then beg me for help. Why hire someone to help write your story but there is none. So I continued on for another few hours and butt scratching moments when I came across so more issues that I really wasn’t playing attention to at the beginning. The controls are bad. You’ll get locked in a animation. Then when they start to attack and your smashing the dodge. Your number one move in game. Being quickly chopped down. Doesn’t help either when enemies are stuck in the walls or inside chest and can attack you but you can’t hit them. PvP to me is very cheesy and should be for those who wish to play it. After killing a boss and trying to return to a check point I’m interrupted multiple times by another player then losing all my runes. Just to spawn back into game where another player joins game causing me to lose everything I just worked so hard to get. So in end I was left with any butt scratching. I wanted to like this game but couldn’t. Frame rate drops made things more difficult between the multiple rolls and butt scratching I’d go through. Story 1/10 controls 4/10 pve 1/10 pvp 7/10 when wanting to do so. Visually 8/10 sound 9/10. It feels more like a sandbox rpg then anything else.… Expand

On top of that, this game is BEAUTIFUL. The enemy design is breathtaking. You will find joy in discovering the 100's of varied enemy creatures that dot the landscape. There is so much to find - and kill - in this game.

    However, the game is an endless repetition of set piece battles, that reset immediately when you get to a check point and pause the game. This reset breaks the immersion of the world, and reminds you that this is just a game, and these characters are just automatons, going through the motions, like some kind of fun house. There are TONS of hidden weapons, armors, and enemies, just waiting for you to find them. But the game only provides a backstory for the Bosses and NPC's. It doesn't actually give you a detailed or compelling reason as to why you're killing them all. Did they do something to you? Destroy your people? Who ARE your people? You can't be from this land, because NOBODY apparently lives here except the monster automatons.

    That is why this game is a solid 7. It gives you LOTS and LOTS of things to discover and kill. It's a visual masterpiece. But the game controls are difficult, your character animations are woefully slow compared to your enemies, the game's economy/xp system was designed for the grinders, and the game provides ZERO context or a compelling narrative in which you can take part.

The challenge this time around was implementing an open world and not falling into the trap that so many others fall into; being wide as an ocean but as deep as a puddle. From has managed to create a landscape so full of content, secrets and genuinely rewarding exploration that it is at times quite overwhelming to completionist players.

    What makes this game extra special is that it doesn't lose its identity in branching out to a new approach either- the game stays true to the Souls' original beloved formulae while also daring to go in new directions. During my time with the game there have been so many incredible moments, some even going as far as reminding me of childhood memories, living out my imagination as to what the perfect adventure game could be. It's hard to put into words, but it really is amazing that they were able to fit in as much as they have into a 50gb game. There are rabbit holes everywhere which twist and turn into new landscapes, some of which are hidden within already hidden areas.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Games fantastic. is it an absolutely perfect godsend FromSoftware has bestowed on us from the gods? no, but it is a great game that i personally really enjoy.

    Pros
    The bosses are tough as hell but it never feels like you can't win
    The game is absolutely stunning and there's dozens of spots that are background worthy with how fantastic they look
    the world feels pretty lively. some enemies will fight each other, castles are getting invaded, and festivals are going on

    Cons
    there are platforming sections and the game is absolutely not designed for platforming
    many of the enemies can stun lock you to death, especially if you're low poise
    those festivals, invasions, and such are going on all the time so while the worlds lively it's also static

    I personally feel like my major pros heavily outweigh my major cons and the game so far has been an absolute blast. It's worth a shot even if it isn't for everyone. it'll piss off FromSoftware Diehards because it reuses stuff from the older games and changes up some of the mechanics. It'll also really piss off people who don't want to, or don't have the time to, work hard for a win. Grant it there's plenty of ways to cheese a lot of the bosses. summons, allies, and over leveling, but if you don't have the time to "get good" at the game they probably won't have the time to learn each of the spirits either which puts em in a bad situation.

    If you like more difficult games, or don't mind using every strategy to get a win, you'll really enjoy this game i think    … Expand

    Very good game but certainly overrated. The first 30-40 hours are great while you explore, but it becomes repetitive as you discover just the same places with even the same bosses. Battle mechanics are as good and entertained as simple. Character improvement is really bassic and could have been much more deep.

    The game is so stupidly big and the story is meaningless and has no structure. And it has no quest log, it's a joke; so you should take notes on an actual notebook of the quests' objectives and locations.
    This is A Ridiculous game and utterly OVERRATED.

Its a Good game admittedly And it's okay To Ask for help from other players. There is a Reason this game Has Co-op Theres a Reason it Has Difficult Gameplay and No Questlogs Or difficulty Options, Because that is its identity. If you Remove The difficulty Of dark souls and add An easy mode, Or add A questlog And Constant dialogue, You ruin this game. Its okay to not enjoy Elden ring But it's not okay when You start Critiquing Parts of games when You dont understand why its there. What do you get when you Allow Players to Get the game less difficult, You get a shallow experience. What was Skyrim? A shallow RPG with Good adventure Mechanics, That was skyrim. It was a Bad RPG good Open world Game While you may look At it as a Good rpg Skyrim is not, Its a good one if you enjoy more laid back Casual esc Games like Call of duty. This game was made for a more Niche Audience.Anyways enough of my rant and here's the rest of the review


    Elden ring's story Isnt The greatest but it's not the Worst. The reason you have to comb through the entire Game to learn the story is because Its not meant to be laid put to you on a Silver platter. You're meant to Kill bosses and Venture into dungeons. Its all there for a reason. These aspects are meant to be used to their fullest extent. The story is meant to be Interpreted by You. You can make up whatever you want. Its your Choice because 1. You bought the thing 2. The game's story isnt fully laid out to you so you have to fill in the holes with what you think of.

The most frustrating part of the game is that quest lines are driven with vague minimal character dialogue that doesn't actually drive a story. This makes quest lines easily missable, and there's content and loot items that can be locked from the player if you make the wrong choice.

    As far as a game design goes, combat and difficulty, this is an excellent game, as far as large scale epic RPG is concerned, there's absolutely no story here, nothing to get connected to, nothing to be immersed in.

    Loading screen stuck at 100%, I was 80 hours into the game. Internet is full of such complaints. Video games typically have multiple auto save files in case this happens but this game doesn't.

    These FROMSOFTWARE games have struck a chord with a particular type of gamer - and I daresay, not a classic gamer that have explored various genres.
    There's a writer named Dan Brown, whose fiction novels garnered A LOT of critical acclaim; but amongst those of us who enjoy a good sleuth, and have much experience with various crafts-people of the trade, we knew a charlatan when we saw him.

    See, Dan Brown relied a on a 'rinse-and-repeat' style of writing - a 'writing-by-numbers', if you will. In essence, each story contained the same characters, plot devices, story arcs and climaxes. It was cheap - and, might I add, intellectually insulting. But despite the objective criticism of connoisseurs, the media machine was fully behind Dan Brown, and the Asch Phenomenon claimed another victory.
    So, too, to FROMSOFTWARE's rinse-and-repeat genre.
    I refunded all of my FS purchases safely within the allotted window before I was stuck with an intellectual insult.
    "Souls-like" should NOT be 'a thing'; more appropriately for the RPG-genre, "Fable-like", or "Witcher 3-like" - but this farcical, reskinned money-grab does not deserve a category unto itself.

It takes the mechanics and gameplay of each from game and puts them all together and it works. Combat feels great especially when you start finding new arts of war, combined that with spells and the new mounted combat and jump attacks. It took me a slight adjustment period but I'm hooked. The world is huge and full of loot. The trademark atmosphere that's from soft games are known for is here which is impressive given the open world format. I'd highly recommend to anyone especially a fan of dark souls.
    Great universe and level design, creepy and interesting enemies and enemy encounters, exploration is rewarding and amazing and combat feels really good and very responsive.
    Maybe I'm gonna sound ludicrous, but as soon as I got to the open world (which happens pretty fast). Feels great! That sensation that there's is a vast world to explore and you don't know what you're going to find and how many times you're gonna get into trouble. This is a kust play gane for any Souls game lovers!!!
    Absolutely phenomenal. I think it's the freedom to get better and then come back to bosses when you are ready that attracts me. I have just walked out into the world, and wow, mind blown.
    Soulsborne games are not somethin u can get straight away and they mostly take patience, clearly everyone heard about the hype but didn’t bother to research. They have their own genre because they are niche, they were never meant for everyone.
    Any one who leaves a 1 star couldn’t get past the solider of godric in the tutorial or prolly didn’t even kno u had to jump down.
    Enjoy it at ur own pace, the thing that is great about these games is everyone enjoys them in different ways.
    And just anyone who respects beautiful games with heart and soul put into them.
    This game is exactly what i was craving!!! Love it.
    The story is very engaging and the battles are tough and take time to master like other soulsbourne games. FromSoftware has done it again. A must try game.

    While the performance may have dips -- which would be worse on last-gen consoles but might be fixed sonner or later --, its open-world, combat and Martin's writing makes Elden Ring among FromSoftware's best works and a high contestant and dangerous competition for 2022's future games for Game of the Year prize.

Let me explain.

    Im a huge fromsoft fan and trust only them for day 1 preorders. I've platinumed all their games. Buy It really worries me that blupoint demon souls remaster can launch at 4k 60fps or near to it but elden ring can barely hit 30fps and often dips as low as 15 in sadly the areas where you need consistent performance. I bought a ps5 for improved graphics but all I get is decade old issues which on pc ive left behind with a 3080 though I've Elden ring runs worse on a 3080 than on a ps5 lol

    There is a whiff of cyberpunk about the game where fans are blindly supporting and conveniently ignoring the serious technical issues which also include a few progression stopping glitches / bugs and the occasional game breaking issue.

    And post launch the patches are not addressing these issues. It still looks and runs like a...ps3 gen era game but tlou was ps3 and that ran and looked far better so...elden ring just looks ugly. Great art design but everything else is far from the beauty of sekiro or the grandeur of bloodborne.

    The open world simply fails in 2022. If it was 2010 then I'm sure it be far more impressive as it has 2010 graphics. It's not remotely as good as botw or rdr2 which are games that existed before ER development even started. The latter alone is worrying but the large empty space which witcher 3 dlc would laugh at...isnt much fun to play. Yes You can explore but you'll only find Skyrim like identical copy and paste areas. Forget the wildlife of most open world games or npcs with compelling stories.

    The George Martin element is inexplicably non existent making the game effectively a dark souls 4. The latter isn't a bad thing but it's not as good as ds3 in visuals / performance or gameplay so where does this leave us?

    The game isn't suitable for noobs or non fromsoft fans. It's a game seemingly more for fan boys, compromised journalists and shills to scream "goty!" while they wait for gameplay saving 'Patches' (sorry ;). It's not a bad game by any means but it has bad aspects to it or lazy maybe. Bloodborne launched in a rough state so this is nothing new but it's still not acceptable.

    Wait for a sale a year from now when it's been fully patched. Eventually maybe 7-8 /10 but a 4/10 !t launch due to poor technical state :(    … Expand

    I really like the game and i dont care about the graphics argument for this game.. This game isnt focused on that but on the combat which is really good. BUT the world is so big it feels all the same to me at some point. Like when you have no story and you fight a boss over and over at some point you are like... i have seen it all.

    This game is just Dark Souls 4. I've been playing for a week and there's nothing special about it. Don't fall for the hype it's just Breath of the Wild Dark soul edition. At first yeah it's fun and it's a pretty game, but it's still Playstation 4 graphics on a PS5. Not to mention the performence issues like texture pop in, frame rate dips, and worst of all it doesn't save properly. TheThis game is just Dark Souls 4.

They say you can avoid bosses but after a while you run out of optional bosses and you gotta keep fighting the main bosses which are OP in most cases. Where as the dungeon bosses are a complete joke. The power scaling in this game is unbalanced. The game just isn't that fun and I put a week in it.… Expand

    I want to like this game so much...
    The elements are all there, but there is just a polish missing from the games aesthetics, and a blandness stemming from the studios inexperience with open world games. There are land marks everywhere smattered with enemies, but there is no real point to them. Exploration is often rewarded by blank grass cliff edges and maybe a few berries to pick.

The graphics look old due to poor textures, and the unlocked framerates lead to microstutters. Updates can save this game to a 7/10 but it just lacks the beauty of its predecessor Demons Souls Remake. It still gets a five, because that classic DS formula that is so addictive that it keeps you playing... even if you don't really want to. Believe me, I kind of don't, but I will see it through to the end.    … Expand

    As a Bloodborne fan (With a platinum trophy) and Soulslike fan (Played Sekiro, Lords of the fallen, Dark sousl 1, 2, 3, Demons Souls...) I can say that my hype for Elden Ring was too high. When i play the game for the first time, it was nothing as i expected, the graphics are meh (in the ps5), the framerate wasnt a consistent 60fps; the "open-world souslike game of the dreams" was nothingAs a Bloodborne fan (With a platinum trophy) and Soulslike fan (Played Sekiro, Lords of the fallen, Dark sousl 1, 2, 3, Demons Souls...)

    This is honestly one of the best games that I have ever played. As of the time of writing, I have over 85 hours in the Lands Between. After reading a couple of the other reviews on here, there are some things that I would like to address from my perspective.

As of the time of writing, I have over 85 hours in the Lands Between. After reading a couple of the other reviews on here, there are some things that I would like to address from my perspective.

    Graphics: The graphics in this game are absolutely gorgeous. What makes this statement true for me is the art direction. The masterful use of the full color palate had me literally putting my controller down to just take in what I was looking at. While the textures are high quality, they are not as high as other games and I suspect that this is where the complaint originates.

    Empty World: If a reviewer is using the phrase "empty world," they either have not played the game or define empty very differently than I do. This game is bursting at the seams with content. While this may not be readily apparent as there will be no map markers, their are dungeons littering the map, ranging from relatively small to insanely expansive. An example from the first area: I discovered a well with an elevator. After beginning to ride the lift, I realized that it was going so much further down than I could have ever predicted. When it finally came to a stop, I was in a completely new area of the game, where I needed to find a new piece of the map. This was all under a different masterfully packed open world area. Almost all of these dungeons culminate with a new boss encounter. The map is also full of ruins/encampments to defeat, bosses roaming the map, as well as unique encounters that only happen at certain times of day. I spent almost 20 hours exploring the opening area ALONE.

    Repetitive Combat: In FROMSOFT games, the combat is defined typically by spamming the button for light attacks. This is made more enjoyable by the unique enemy design. Unlike most games, souls games were able to introduce (at least one but normally at least 2) new enemy types in every single area of the game. This doesn't sound like a lot until you realize DS1 had 24 areas to explore before the DLC came out. Elden Ring is not only much larger, with exponentially more areas and unique enemies, but it also has more unique weapons with expansive move sets, AND DEEPER COMBAT after adding the posture break mechanic, jump attacks, guard counters, customizable weapon abilities and mounted combat. This does not even include the completely revamped magic system with countless spells.

    Good luck fellow Tarnished!    … Expand

    the game is so good, not missunderstand, but i dont see difference from the others. it's another souls. with huge recycled movements and content.
    the reason for my 5 is for the disgusting performance for the ps3 graphics they gave us. i don't recommend to get the game at least for now.

    Don't expect an open world full of things, this is a soul game, so you'll die a lot and the "open world" will be full of tough monsters/knights to farm in order to level up. Unfortunately, you'll have to rely on guides to find what to do at the beginning. The game is good, but certainly not goty! Graphics are disappointing for ps5/xbox series x, there's a lot of bugs. Gameplay is archaic.Don't expect an open world full of things, this is a soul game, so you'll die a lot and the "open world" will be full of tough monsters/knights to farm in order to level up.

    Juegos que deja mucho que desear frente al apartado gráfico, parece de generación pasada, no le llega nisiquiera al uncharted 4 de PS4 este juego está muy SOBREVALORADO jugabilidad muy torpe la IA se confunde muy seguído y se queda parada como si nada. Me parece ridículo que le den una valoración de 97, para mí sería un 85 rascado.

    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.
