    Самая переоцененная игра 2022 года.
    - Повторное использование боссов и уровней
    - Разочаровывающая концовка игры, всего 6 боссов подряд
    - Глупые побочные квесты

    this game is far from perfect making an open world game and fill it with copied enemies and copied bosses and dungeons this is a ubisoft game more than a fromsoftware game the way that bosses are so slow when they try to strike is so ridiculous the only boss who I had fun fighting wit is the dragonlord Placidusax cuz he is different from the rest i hate this game and ragnarok is better

    I figli di puttana amanti del souls likes votano negativamente God of War perché hanno la mamma ndrocchia e non accettano la verità, infatti God of War Ragnarok è il miglior gioco dell'anno a mani bassissime

    I don't know how a game with only combats wherever, can be a great game, all it's hard, really, it's a masoquist game, the great idea it's the difficulty and that's all

    Probably the best open world I've ever played. The landscape is gorgeous. The gameplay is fair and the story interesting. To understand the whole lore you have to read a lot but this ain't to bad. Congrats to GOTY.

It doesn't have enough "living" in the open world to feel alive, the bosses and enemies are really the part where it shines. It's not as good as Sekiro by far. The plot is lackluster, it seems like they wanted to push the BOTW + Dark Souls angle but the problem with BOTW is that the story suffers for the wondering, explorative world and it was 'okay' that the world felt empty. It feel like a single player MMO experience and you are all alone.

    I do not feel the game deserves the 10/10. A 10/10 game means that people who are not just dark souls players could enjoy it. I half enjoyed it, half got bored of the empty world. I was so hyped and it has nothing to do with the mechanics, it's just not what I thought it was going to bed.

    I think it got a perfect 10/10 because people want to relive dark souls. If you wanna relive Dark Souls + BOTW type stuff? This is your jam! If you want more than beautiful scenary and dark souls, go someplace else.    … Expand

    Elden Ring isnt the 10/10 masterpiece game everyone's been saying it is. The combat is slow and boring while the enemies are fast and have a bunch of attacks.

    The year is 2022.

    - 20FPS dips on a 12900K, 64GB DDR5 RAM, PCIE 4.0 M.2 and an RTX 3090
    - No ultrawide support
    - 60FPS cap
    - Defended to the death by souls fans and I'm not even complaining about the difficulty...

    No excuse to not support those things when I can fire up indie games from 10 years ago and they do.

The graphics feel like PS3, combat is straight-up the same as Dark Souls 1, the world is empty same mobs everywhere. Don't waste your money until they balance everything in the game. Instead, go play Sekiro if you haven't.

    so the only times you really "enjoy" playing this game, is when you have defeated a boss or when you enjoy the beauty of the world itself.

    despite all things mentioned above, I admire their risk in creating an open-world game this wast and adding some features like a horse to the series ...

    To conclude, this is only a good game for just a minority of people and definitely not a "must play" for everyone. This is what happens when all of the reviewers are die-hard fans of the series.    … Expand

    Weakest Souls game in the series. I'm a huge fan of the prior games with 1000+ hours played and the empty open world, uninteresting boss fights and frame rate drops are unacceptable. The story feels like they replaced the nouns everywhere to re-theme it to 'Grace' and 'Tarnished' instead of 'Bonfire' and 'Ashen One/Chosen Undead' but forgot to make it feel meaningful.

I was hoping for what Fromsoft had promised, a departure from the Souls series but this is Dark Souls 3 with a thin coat of paint covering an empty open world. Games like these are hard to develop and are huge financial risks to create, so I respect the work the team did to make this game as good as they could however they have ignored a lot of game design advancements in the industry that would have made a huge difference in making this feel worth my time. I really wanted to love this game and embrace whatever new things they wanted to do, shame what resulted.… Expand

    For fans of the Souls series, Elden Ring surpasses all expectations and hype, delivering a once in a generation masterpiece. The early favorite for Game of the Year, Elden Ring raises the bar for open world rpgs.

    Most of the bad reviews seem related to the PC version ... I've had no issues at all on PS5. I've had a great time so far without any previous DS experience. The world, lore, design, and game mechanics will really pull you in if you give it a try!

    Elden Ring is fascinating!
    After getting my platinum for 70 hours, I can clearly say that this game is one of my favorite fromsoft games alongside with Bloodborne and Sekiro.
    -Gameplay, is similar to Dark Souls 3, and have some "must-have" parts like jumping using only ONE button, and of course the Horse Torrent because of how big the world of the game is.Also kinda new thing is Ashes of    Elden Ring is fascinating!

    -Gameplay, is similar to Dark Souls 3, and have some "must-have" parts like jumping using only ONE button, and of course the Horse Torrent because of how big the world of the game is.Also kinda new thing is Ashes of War, but they just replace grindstones and gems from Dark Souls 3.
    The world of this game is unusual to an open world standard, there 4 types of dungeons in this game:caves,catacombs,hero graves and tunnel and they are all interesting to investigate, and rewards with valuable resources.But for me open world in this game is the worst part of the game,but that doesn’t mean that it is bad, just mediocre, because of the confusion at the start of the game, when u can’t figure out where to go.Sometimes u can go to the high-level locations, and sometimes u can even get to the low-level location already being a high-level player.In my opinion they should’ve done a map layout by progression levels, for example like in Witcher 3.Beside this minus, the world of the game is really good and has an unique atmosphere.
    -The main story of this game is one of the best stories from all games from this developer.Only bloodborne , in my opinion is better.Overall the whole conflict in the lands between is the best part of the games lore, all the lordswith their opinion about the fracture of the Elden Ring, most of them where trying to take the whole power of the Elden Ring, and for example lord Rykard was interested in devouring all of the gods, or Mohg by using Miquella and might of the shard was tring to became a God and create Mohgwyn Dynasty, or some of them like Malenia,Morgott and Godrick where just sitting in there Catsles.But if think everyone must experience it, someone may like the lore and story of the game (like me), and some may don’t like.
    -Main Bosses the game ( those who carry the shards of the Elden Ring ) are fascinating and unique to the whole Souls-like games.The perfect example is Mohg - the best and the most fair fight in the game (in my opinion) perfect visuals,good lore before character,astonishing ost and really beatiful location.Also theres General Radahn, I’ve never experienced (UPD Ivory King with Four Knights of Eleum Loyce is very similar to this fight ) such an epic fight.All the friends you have met where helping you to fight Radahn, even Blaid with Alexander.Rykard is similar to Giant Yorm ( from DS3 ) and Storm Kings ( DeS ) but way harder than them , also fight is very good and fair.Morgott and Goodrick are good but usual to the whole series, but also very ingesting.And the hardest one is Malenia, and god she’s the hardest boss in whole franchise,she heals herself after hitting you and has 1 one-shot attacks in first phase, and 3 one-shot attacks in second, also she has 2 health bars.Yeah…that boss is insanely hard, and clearly the hardest boss in the game.And final boss of the game - Radagon of the Golden Order and Elden Beast are also insane and has fascinating soundtarck and gorgeous design, but for me Elden Beast is a very boring and meh boss, considering to Radagon with his fast and chalenging moveset , fighting Elden Beast feels like filler boss with its jumps to another of arena and magic spam.Also the game has a lot of optional bosses : Dragonlord Placidusax (Midirs laser vibes... ), Hoarah Loux the Warrior ( 2nd best boss music in the game ), Rennala Queen of the full moon ( second phase - huge flashback to Rom, the vacuous spider from Bloodborne ), Mimic Tear ( Basically You ), Maliketh ( he’s one not optional, but he has really good design and beatiful fight), Regal & Basic Ancestor Spirit ( very relaxing ost , and very good fight ), and so on… This game have a lot of bosses.
    -The last thing I want to talk is graphics, and they are decent, not next-gen like in Demon Souls Remake, but not bad at all.
    For me Elden Ring became a very interesting journey, with memorable bosses, deep lore, and beautiful locations.And after getting a platinum in this game I already miss it…After beating the game for 4 times i can clearly say that this game is one of my favorite games of all time and without doubt is my third favorite soulsborne game.

    Un Dark Souls 4 en toda regla. Con más libertad de movimiento, pero el mismo juego de siempre, con lo bueno y lo malo que ya conocemos. Muy pobre a nivel gráfico y técnico, tiene bajadas de fps. Si no luciese tan mal le daría más nota, pero no puedo pasar por alto lo mediocre que es visualmente y lo tosco de sus mecánicas. Gran juego, pero sobrevalorado.

    Great open world and awesome enemy design, mostly rewarding character progression.

    But fails in terms of standard accessibility options as well as modern graphics, UI, and sound design. In those areas, the game feels just outdated like being from the 2010s.

    If you ever played any dark souls game or something similar and didn't like it.
    You're not going to like this one, same gameplay style.
    It's not similar to open world games.
    Metacritic have blocked the user reviews for at least a full week after its release.
    They are becoming more and more dishonest.

A game that has all above mentioned and goes further by helping someone relieve and forget from the real world while making an unforgettable experience. A must play, even for non fans of the souls series.

    This game is an absolute masterpiece. Nobody cares about a good looking game when it comes a masterpiece. Most best games in history don’t have good graphics… best movies in history are not 4K. And for those say that doesn’t have a story probably didn’t finish the game or didn’t know to read.

    Wasn’t sure if I’d see the point of this game being open world at first but I’m quite enjoying this on PS5, especially since the PlayStation version is far better optimized than the Xbox Series X and PC versions. PS5 has the fastest loading, highest frame rate, and most optimized experience in general.

    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.
