    The character is slow, and it feels like the mechanics of your character are from 2010: just slow and goofy, while the enemies / bosses have more advanced mechanics, its like your character runs at half the speed, and the bosses are 1.5X speed. just weird.

    The result is a slow awkward combat system especially when trying to beat a boss.
    This game feels like 1000 steps back from DS3, and it is not a standalone franchise, feels and plays like DS2 remake.

    And the frame rate on pc always drops.. sucks man, really wanted to love this game.    … Expand

    Jogo está mal otimizado, as quedas de quadros frustraram muito a minha jogatina, estamos no auge da geração consoles, o mínimo que vocês tem que oferecer aos consumidores é um jogo liso, além de que de ter boa parte das mecânicas recicladas do dark souls. Tem que ser muito cadelinha da FS pra da nota 10 pra esse jogo.

So you end rolling to avoid aoe strikes, then you strike max 2 times and you do it again and again After that, you keep wandering in a depressive world praying to not lose your runes.. Finally, I think this games could be great if you have a lot of time. For average gamer like me with 5-7 hours a week (this is not negligeable however ), it’s nonsense.

    Elden ring is a good game but it turns out that it is more of the same, the same difficulty, the same gameplay, simply its novelty is that it is an open world, it is more of the same when it comes to an old graphics engine.

    O estilo soulslike não é o meu favorito, dito isto os gráficos são bem simplórios, por vezes me lembram os de PS3, e por mais que você possa ir a qualquer lugar, é quase impossível fazer isso sem morrer a todo instante, a menos que faça um grind em monstros já mata com facilidade antes, está mais para uma sequência de darksouls do que um game inovador.

    After the overwhelmingly positive reviews of the media, with Elden Ring being called "Genre defining and a Masterpiece", I really wanted to give the game a chance and experience it for myself.

    First and foremost the only genre that it is defining is the Soulsborne genre and I think they made a very good transition from an very linear game design to an open world game. So job well done. Soulsborne fans pretty much have to love it. That is also why I give it a 7.

    But thats actually it ... there is nothing new in here and nothing that it does better than other well known open world games ... actually it does many things worse. Feels at times really hollow, empty and slow. The graphics are ok, but really nothing to praise, the animations are also pretty okish but look like something from 5 - 10 years ago. Interaction with the world, as in plants that move when you run through them, is non existent ... they just clip through your body.

    Can't say much about the performance on my PC it ran well.

    So to cut this down -> you like Soulsborne games? Get it right now
    Soulsborne games are not your thing? -> maybe give it a try on steam and if you really don't like it ... refund it.    … Expand

    Adding an open world to the dark souls concept made it even better. Had my doubts in how they were gonna make an open world work in this kind of game but they succeeded beyond my expectations. Really enjoyed the addition of mounted combat and faster, easier traversal through your mount that's able to double jump. Its dark souls in bigger better package which can't go wrong.

    Pretty sad to see ppl who've heard about dark souls in the past give horrible reviews because they heard open world and expected GTA or Far Cry, complaining about trivial things they personally don't like or even about it being too similar to dark souls, even tho all From games work this way. Which of all could be seen in trailers way before release, so there's really no excuse. And i doubt the majority of them even bought the game.

    If you enjoy dark souls games or just punishing but fair games, i highly recommend this. But if you've tried any of the dark souls games in the past and didn't like them, then you'll probably won't like this one either    … Expand

    A culmination of everything From Software has done up to this point. If you like their games, you'll love this. If you don't then avoid it. Gorgeous art style, skyboxes, vistas, fun enemy variety and a lot of nice exploration. Frame rate is really the only complaint.

    Speaking of story I guess other than the one eyed girl and the crappy cutscene there isn't really one. Figured since it had the Game of Thrones writer on it it may be cool, but I guess this is the reason why everyone hates the damned show now. He must not be very good, probably another SJW propped up by the hollywood elites.

    Dodge mechanics are pretty clunky and don't seem to work quite right.. Seems like your character's hit box is larger than Nancy Pelosi's slush fund. Clipping seems to guarantee that the enemies kill you through walls and rocks and other crap, but you never seem to go through them. I presume it's some intentional feature to create a faux sense of challenge to the game. The alternative is that the programmers lack the technical wherewithal to pull of what they're striving for. Now that I think on that though it's probably the latter with the number of bugs this game has. Frame rate drops are pretty harsh and consistently occur on boss encounters.

    Maybe it would have been a cool game if the story was any interesting or if the developers were worth a lick, but they seem to be reaching for the stars when they can't even grab the dirt off the floor very well. Play God of War any of them and hard if you wanna play a real good game.

I figured with Martin penning the game's story it would be rather grand involving political intrigue and riveting tales of man's inner folly. Having grown up on D&D and CRPGs I expected to have a fair idea of what I was getting into.

    Much to my surprise, I found a vast open world filled with nothing to do. I created my character to wander around some lifeless void. Oh, it looks rather grand the art direction is quite phenomenal though the textures muddied and the game is plagued with pop-ins as well. I am able to forgive the occasional jank for a good and true RPG. I however did not find one in this game. I'm not sure what constitutes for an RPG these days amongst the general public, but generally it's a game with roleplaying options of which this game seems to have none other than building your character's stats and skills.

    All problems are solved through this game's languid, ponderous, and clunky combat. No non-combat or social options in this supposed RPG. The exploration as as dull and lifeless as the world in which it inhabits. Some scant crafting materials to create some mediocre items with minimal stat gains. Undoubtedly the usual carrot and the stick seen in the MMO sphere influenced this trash itemization.

    The dungeons were quite interesting and a more linear experience and I killed Margit after ten or twelve tries. The game's molasses combat was made even more frustrating due to the various technical issues that plague this supposed RPG (Hint it's not an RPG it's just combat pornography) Your character's hitboxes are far too large causing the enemies to strike you frequently when you're clearly outside of their swing radius. There's also numerous frame rate drops making the game's sole feature of combat extremely difficult since the technical execution of the developers lack of talent is holding you back further than the difficulty of the game is.

    All in all this game is not an RPG, there are no roleplaying options. It's just combat pornography for the youth's violent masturbatory sadist rituals. If you have any class avoid this buggy mess like the plague it is and cast it into the fire! I for one got a full refund from my local gamestore, but I hope to save others the expense. We all know this game doesn't deserve a perfect score.

    I prefer games with stories not just open-world full of different types of creatures to defeat. I prefer games with technical innovation, graphical innovation, deep story, intriguing conversations and characters.

    The graphics is outdated, the combat system is outdated and there is no story.
    So why my high score?

    This game can be mindless fun.

    When Witcher 3 was created it was innovative in the time of creation. This game is not innovative.

Also, From did NOT balance this game, seemingly at all. No matter what health, or defense, armor, etc. 1 shots are guaranteed, and at other times bosses can be 2 shot by you..... Its literally one of the least polished games ive played in decades maybe. This game has the worst input lag, and dropped inputs, i've seen...well since...sekiro. Sekiro dropped inputs constantly, this game doesnt do it as much, but the input lag is 1000000 times worse. Nearly unplayable. Bloodhounds step and summons exist to mask this.Anyone will agree after playing,this game needed more time in the oven. If you arent willing to admit that, you are lying, or From told you couldnt say anything negative, or youd lose access. Play on the horse and platform around for 5 minutes and that ALONE will tell you all you need to know. Input buffer has seemingly gotten worse (somehow) with subsequent updates. Dropping the score down to unplayable. I cant express how unfathomabley uncomfortable the input buffer is. Its unconscionable… Expand

    The gameplay though is marvelous... dozen of bosses and minibosses, lots of thing to explore, beautiful mechanics, nice lote.

    Short description: Elden Ring is a 2022 Souls-like, open world, third person, action role-playing game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment.
    The game development was directed by be Souls series father, Mr. Hidetaka Miyazaki and in the creation of the lore was involved the famous fantasy writer Mr. George R. R. Martin.

    Story / atmosphere: 7/10
    Elden ring is a lore driven game, inviting you to discover its world bit by bit, with each inscription read, question asked or simply by sitting on a rock and admiring the surroundings.
    A contemplative and solemn atmosphere that pervades the whole of Elden Ring that makes you feel lonely in the very best possible way. Unfortunately if the atmosphere manages to convince, the lore does not and fails to meet the expectations of such a great world.

    Gameplay: 10/10
    Elden Ring's gameplay awesome, similar to the other Dark & Demon Souls games unmatched by any other game, with a sense of heft and precision that rewards patience and learning. You can fight on the ground or on horseback where possible which adds a new interesting set of mechanics and approaches.

    Graphics: 8/10
    The graphics manage to create a great and convincing atmosphere, but very often disappoints either with the recycled assents from Dark Souls 3 or the below average animations of the created natural environment which do not fit in an open world game and break the immersion. Sound: 8/10
    The sound is pretty minimalistic. At any given moment, there might be a little music in the background as well as the sound of the steady exchange of blows between you and your enemy, but nothing more. Some more effort should have been invested in order to highlight the important progression moments and contribute to the atmosphere of each visited zone.

    Game functionality and bugs: 8/10
    I encountered no issues during my playthough, additionally the game runs awesome on the ps5 but only acceptable on the ps4 with some annoying frame drops from time to time.

    Value for money: 9/10
    The game will definitely give you your money's worth if bought at around 50 - 60 EUR / USD / GBP, providing a nice open world Souls adventure.

    Conclusion: 8/10
    Playing Elden ring is time well spend but it could have been much better with some more love and attention invested in creating a convincing world and setting because sometimes the perfect Souls gameplay formula is not enough in order to make an open game...

    Elden Ring is brilliant and one of the very best games I've ever played. Fans of FromSoft's previous games should absolutely NOT miss this one, and even fans who have never played a Soulslike should give it a try. Its massive open world sets new standards for depth & detail and is simply filled to the brim with secrets to find, dungeons to explore, and foes to slay.

    Combat is just as    Elden Ring is brilliant and one of the very best games I've ever played. Fans of FromSoft's previous games should absolutely NOT miss this one, and even fans who have never played a Soulslike should give it a try. Its massive open world sets new standards for depth & detail and is simply filled to the brim with secrets to find, dungeons to explore, and foes to slay.

    Combat is just as tough as in previous FromSoft games, but Elden Ring offers build variety and supportive mechanics that take some of the edge off of the harder bosses. The freedom to leave & explore another area, instead of just banging your head against a single boss fight, really shakes up the FromSoft formula. I think this freedom will be one of the main factors that allows novices to ease into its style of gameplay.

    At the time of writing I am currently experiencing occasional frame stutters, during which my FPS drops from a steady 60 to mid-40s. These typically occur in the Open World, when transitioning between areas of the map. I'm confident FromSoft will fix the issue with patches (no, not THAT Patches), and my experience with it simply isn't enough for me to not recommend Elden Ring to others. For reference, I am playing on an i7-10700KF with an RTX 3070 and 32 GB of RAM, with all settings turned to High and resolution at 1440.

    The game is the culmination of the FromSoft formula and shouldn't be missed. Not saying that tech issues aren't important, but don't let it stop you from getting Elden Ring.    … Expand

    The only negative reviews that i can understand and somewhat stand with would be the ones with the performance issues on pc, (didn't have issues with my ps5 so far). and i'm sorry for people who encountered save breaking bugs and stuff. it is very unlucky, and it is a thing that i'm sure fromsoft didn't want in their game... but in all honesty, save game issues have been in games ever since save data feature was introduced. (i had to replay rdr2 3 times cause my save data got corrupted on multiple occassions)
    This game looks so pretty and calling it a ps3 is very stupid and demented.
    also get your head out of the gutter, wanting a climbing system. just cause you don't know how to scale the environment, doesn't mean that everyone is brain dead as you and just wants to play uncharted/tombraider

    it is a masterpiece overall, if you don't get the performance issues that some are having.

    it is a 9.5/10 for me, but since irrational reviews are a normality on metacritic now and everyone saying 0 when it is 6 in their opinion. it is a 10/10    … Expand

    The enemy tracking and input reading are awful awful awful. I've played and finished every souls game and this is the first time that the "artificial difficulty" meme is not a meme. The combat is disgustingly bad compared to previous entries let alone compared to BB and Sekiro.

    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.
