    Enjoyable overall experience. Just alittle to copy and paste for my liking. World and lore fresh and unique. Everything else...just more of the same. Sadly doesnt live up to the hype.

    This was my first ever “Souls” game and it’s just amazing. It is difficult but totally doable and the world is incredibly rich. This is the game I’ve been waiting for for decades. Once in a lifetime game here.

I thought this was going to a MMORPG type of game but found the game to be extremely lonely, and not only is there zero NPCs but pretty much all the enemies are the same everywhere you go. Armor Sets are ugly some people will say they're cool but running around in ghoul armor isn't really for me. IDK if you like to cuss out your TV after dying for 6 hours straight and then find a brief moment of victory is your thing then this game is for you. I'm going back to Cyberpunk 2077 and will hope that AC Dawn Of Ragnarok will be better than it's previous DLC content. I enjoy a good story with characters that bring life to it - Elden Ring is not for me I guess but I feel the reviews on this game is too high- guess it's what happens when you release a game with zero bugs… Expand

    If you are fan of the souls series or just love a challenge then this games is for you , very fun and extremely addicting I get lost for hours just wondering around exploring the world , it really is vast and there a lot of beautiful views along the way. Gameplay is great with tons of options to choose your play style .

    Too many bugs for a released game. No request logs, and you can encounter bugs randomly in every boss fight. Some of them suddenly don’t move. Some of them stay above a cliff and never come down. If you unfortunately die at the same time as the boss, there’s a chance you don’t get the loot and can never reach this piece of map again. The game is not pure rubbish, but full of rubbish.

    Starts good then gets progressively repetitive and boring. Multiplayer is broken by cheaters who use exploits and farm runes.
    A niche game, rated 10/10 by bored critics who wanted another challenge.

    Ps. Just as niche as this review website with no function to sort through the bad user reviews, could have save me 60$

    The open world didn't really add to it just made getting from A to B a chore.

    Never once did I have to change weapon I had the uchi since the start of the damn game.

    And the copy and paste was unreal I rolled my eyes seeing the same structures and layouts repeatedly and the bosses where worse, the amount of times the godskin bosses showed up was especially lazy. Also had some bosses just flat out go afk in the battle like the Dragonlord placidusax.

    A game should not be considered good simply because it's challenging. A game is still supposed to be a game and this is barely that.

A game is still supposed to be a game and this is barely that. It gives u the most barebones pieces of information on what to do or where to go and tries very little to get u invested in the story or characters at all. It doesn't make u feel connected to your character or the world that you're in as it just throws you into a random location for you to run around and figure it out (which I've come to learn is the usual for souls games). And that's where another prblm comes for me and confuses me about all of these 10/10s. This is pretty much the same as all souls games just a way bigger open world to explore...but every game has a big open world nowadays so I don't get why this is such a selling point to have different places that u can explore. I can understand getting tired of following a bunch of markers with a crowded HUD and map of icons but most games allow the option to turn this down. It seems like this game is being rewarded for a tremendous lack of effort and its being disguised as groundbreaking. Which brings me to my next point. The lack of options in 2022 is unforgivable. This game assumes that you've played souls games before and judging by the reviews im guessing most reviewers have which I suppose explains the high rating a bit more. If you're a new player like me and countless other normal people it is nearly impossible to go into this game as is without a friend or some sort of guide to help you figure out the most basics of things like where youre even supposed to go. Playing with friends is also a chore as the system that's implemented is a hassle making it almost not even worth it when everytime you or the host dies you immediately return to your world. There's no option to spectate even for a few moments while returning you just immediately go back. Along with having to find/ buy materials to use everytime you want to play with a friend makes it almost not worth using. Why not have a system where you can at least craft a permanent tool to use to transport you to and from a friends world? Along with having stronger ones that allow you to be revived or die more than once or at least be able to spectate your friend after you die? Again seems like they were cutting corners and are being rewarded for it. All in all it kinda sucks at this games lack of effort in being an actual game because it does seem to have a great world to explore and be in with cool enemies to fight. However my personal preference for games is to be entertained and have fun not be constantly frustrated for hours for a few moments of joy. I would give it a higher score but the absolute horrendous overhype of this game and the fact that all reviewers are ignoring the glaring problems and turning them into benefits causes me to have give this a zero. I pray this doesn't beat out genuinely good games with compelling stories and characters at the any awards but sadly I know it will and it's honestly a shame. A shame they will be rewarded for a lack of effort. Giving more options to newer players wouldn't hurt core souls fans but would require work on the developer...they obviously didn't want tht.… Expand

    The only thing I liked about this game: design/world (that’s why 2, not 0). This was the second and the last souls game I tried. Just no reason for me to “play” such games. No good game design. Nothing is clear. Almost all places in the works fulfilled with bosses. With random toughness. Not sure why people praise these games so much. Overrated and not interesting to play at all.

    For the first half of the game, I was blown away, the Open World is huge and there are so many things you can do in it, it's absolutely groundbreaking, there are so many areas to explore, a huge map full of castles, ruins, dungeons and cities... even underground cities! It's honestly crazy, this game is insanely big, it has everything you'd expect from a Medieval Open World RPG.

    Although the gameplay is identical to previous FromSoftware titles, there are indeed some minor tweaks and changes, new magic spells, a ton of additional weapons to use in combat and many more. Summons are also useful, and quite necessary in some cases.

    As for the lore, it's pretty deep and interesting for the most part, the game always encourages the player to keep learning new things via exploring or reading.

    The boss fights are spectacular, most of them look phenomenal, their movesets are varied and the animations look gorgeous, however, the game is unbalanced, with some questionable difficulty spikes specifically towards the endgame.

    And lastly, there's a lot of recycled content, all the dungeons look the same, many boss fights are reused, some areas look identical but with different colors... there's a lot of copy paste, which isn't necessarily a very bad thing, but it's worth mentioning.

    Elden Ring is the true evolution of the genre, an amalgamation of everything FromSoftware has done the past few years, and the ultimate souls game.

    What? What happened?

    In the SEA Region, the game has a "Region Lock" on its languages. This is not a Elden Ring problem but this is a Sony problem that affects Elden Ring gameplay.

    The only way I can play an english version of this game is to buy the game (again) on a US PSN account and then play it in my asian account. I do not desire to buy the game again when the game I did buy works perfectly fine (except the language lock).

I preordered the game assuming to play it in English. If I knew there was only chinese, I would not buy it on ps store. Hope sony or bandai can fix this soon.

    While the start of the game looks very promising, I can only rate it 1/10 because there is no English support for the Asian version. On the box it does says there is English support but in game everything is in either Chinese, Korean or Thai. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME AND SUPPORT GAME STUDIOS THAT INTENTIONALLY MISLEAD CONSUMERS

Not a single second I am feeiing this is a fromsoftware game, they never design such one-shot kill system in the past but in this game its everywhere, fully reflecting they just didn't spend much time to balance the difficulty settings, which considered they already had so many boss almost direct copy and paste from previous dark souls game, is beyond acceptable. The combat mechanics is also bad that its simply not fun and not challenging but totally unfair, not withstanding the fact that lagging and unresponsive input that is hardly accpetable as a ps5 game (I finished nioh2 with platinum so dun argue with me I am not good enough, this is simply not a well designed and configured game). I dun know how anyone could put higher than 6 in this game. The only thing perhaps make ppl think this is good game is probably we haven't had a fully open world ARPG game like skyrim for too long. But dun get me wrong, this is no skyrim and I would say skyrim in many cases is even more challenging than this game. This game is just a joke.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I should start this review by saying I haven't finished Elden ring in fact I quit after I beat the fire giant because of reasons I shall discuss in the future.
    I Think this game is ok, definitely overrated at least a little as I don't think that this game is one of the greatest ever made. I have put about 160 hours into the game completing the majority of the content in the game mostly side content because i dont think that content blocks through difficulty is a good content block. I should say that i dont think there is a good content block, you should be able to beat a game you buy. I dont think that this game is unbeatable for me i could grind another 60-90 hours of the bloated game but i dont want to. Now with all of that out of the way ill get to the pro's and cons of ELDEN RING.
    -Pros-
    -Combat is fluid and amazing
    -Massive world to explore, with hours of content
    -Build Varity is massive there are almost 1000 different builds with differing playstyles
    -Some of the bosses are amazing experiences that i will remember for a long time
    -Meaningful interactions with npc's affect the world
    -Great story told through gameplay
    -Side content is for the most part fully fleshed out
    -Beautiful graphics

    -Cons-
    -Performance Issues on PC and sometimes Ps5
    -Although a lot of content is great this game has a little too much that feels really similar (Basically Bloat)
    -Getting lost is pretty common yes some people find this enjoyable but the majority of people will not as this can be counted as wasting time and some people have limited time to play this game
    -Boss Design is mostly found lacking this time as most bosses don't really have great move sets except for the Legacy bosses which i think are great
    -PvP balancing although this wont matter to most people
    -Accessibility Features are lacking here as the game even lacks basic colorblind features which was really surprising for a AAA game in 2022
    FINAL VERDICT
    I think Elden ring will be a game to learn from in the future for developers all around the world and is definitely game of the year material. I give this game a 9/10 For its world and gameplay    … Expand

    Don't play this game!

    The author says he doesn't play the game himself! Your IQ is being insulted!

    If you don't use ashes of war, don't use additional vials, the difficulty of the bosses is unreasonable, the bosses has too much blood and increases unnecessary difficulty. All bosses play the same way, that is to roll in 0.x seconds before he drops the knife, which only increases fatigue and has no fun.

Regarding the"real" bosses of the game, some are ok but others are utterly broken: bad hit boxes, their damage is just insane no matter how "good" or protected you are, oh and they can be easily broken by using a magic build with comet Azur + mimic ash +10.

So far it’s optimization is not perfect on ps5(I hear it’s a lot worse on pc) but I am sure it will be fixed. I don’t get people who give bad ratings to the game just because it stutters. Jeez it’s been two days until release ,have some patience. It’s graphics are mediocre for a GOTY contender. I’d give it 6/10 or 7/10 . TBH i didn’t really expect this game to be the best looking game, but it doesn’t by any means look bad. People saying it looks like a ps3 game are simply ridiculous.

    The part that left me with a sour taste in my mouth( I wouldn’t say dissapointed because I already suspected it might be this way) is that it didn’t really bring too many changes on the previous combat sytems of the game. I would be nice if the combat had more touches of sekiro and bloodborne,not just dark souls, and also add the three types of dodging( rolling like dark souls,sidestepping like sekiro and dashing like bloodborne) and make them depend on equip burden and armor
    The combat system is still a masterpiece ,but maybe it’s mechanics are perhaps a bit,old?

    Otherwise the world is great , the bosses are masterpieces and the combat system is still fun and addictive and the lore is fabulous.    … 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.
