    My rate would be 10/10 if you didn’t lie about Arabic language! My English is good, but yet it’s hard to understand everything and there are a lot who don’t understand English so we need Arabic language, we deserve Arabic language! I’m not buying any of your next games until you give us the attention we deserve!

    Would love to play the game, but Asian region PSN stores do not allow English language version of the game. This is despite advertising English version prior to release. Use this as a warning to anyone else playing from SEA, HK, JP, KR.. your game will not have any option for English menus ot interface.

    No journal to keep track of NPC. Combat is just bad. Dodge dodge dodge land a hit repeat. if you die twice you loose all your money,exp gems. i know many people find this type of games rewarding but most people dont have time for this kind of crap. if you want to loose hours just for 1 boss feel free. this is a waste of time for people that have 1-2 hours max per day to relax and play some games

    No matter how many hours I put into this game I cannot enjoy it. The game is clunky, boring, and not story-driven. The key mapping is terrible. Nothing like throwing out a random emote during a boss fight because you are holding Triangle and hitting your D-Pad just to get an emote instead. Waste of time = waste of life.

Elden Ring is too easy, boring open world, bad atmosphere, uninspired bosses, bad performance for today's standards, a lot of clipping and visual pop in, bad design for weapons and armors (see the bullgoat set for example).

    The culmination of all of Fromsoft's previous works. A true masterpiece. Will go down as one of the greatest games of all time. People who are leaving negative reviews must not have known what they were getting into or struggled due to difficulty (overcoming challenges is the point of the experience).

    FromSoft more concerned with if single players playing a single player game was too powerful and would rather destroy 80 hours of playtime to build a character for them to decide for me im playing wrong, so instead of fixing bugs and issues, they decided to "fix" weapons and destroy peoples builds.

    Почему другие игры ругают за кривую реализацию квестов, а у From Software это считается "особенностью"?
    Почему одни серии ругают за конвейер, а игры From Software сделанные по кальке с Demon's Souls нет?

Sure dark souls was fun for a little bit but I’m honestly surprised how they can recreate dark souls so many times with no one seeming to care. The combat in elden ring is fine, but we’ve seen it one too many time IMO. However, the open world is not very well designed in terms of terrain and environmental diversity either. The AI is as bad as it’s always been and the animations still look outdated and janky despite playing fairly responsive. Bosses are cool occasionally but there’s nothing in this game to write home about. It’s all been done before and this game simply had too many issues to forgive.

    Awful Rip-off of RuneScape, the game isn't even that hard but I can't be the first boss due to poor controls.They really try be darksouls but fail horribly.

    Every enemy in the game has an unfair advantage against you. I decided to test this theory out and used cheat engine to give myself a huge advantage.

    If you activate multiplayer features in this game you also get the invasion system which is nothing but a feast for grievers and can‘t be deactivated. Which makes it impossible to play a relaxed coop session. If you don‘t care it might be a great game.

    Do you rate a game 10/10 if nothing else is as good but it still have flaws? After all nothing is perfect but something has to be The Best Game. This is it: Not perfect but better than anything else released in quite awhile.

    I wanted to finish the game prior to writing a review and without using online guides but it proved very difficult and ended up googling some progression points to just stop roaming around aimlessly.

    To start, Elden Ring is a great game by all means and is a nifty throwback to the days when you needed to buy strategy guides and read the instruction booklets that came with games. There    I wanted to finish the game prior to writing a review and without using online guides but it proved very difficult and ended up googling some progression points to just stop roaming around aimlessly.

    To start, Elden Ring is a great game by all means and is a nifty throwback to the days when you needed to buy strategy guides and read the instruction booklets that came with games. There is definitely some artificial difficulty here that can be more annoying than fun. Enemies obviously lack stamina gauges and many bosses will just spam you into oblivion with military level missile tracking. some enemies will spam projectiles at you that hardly ever miss and your only chance is i-frame dodging, such is the nature of Souls games. However, here is slightly different as in games past enemies would leave openings for you to exploit, good luck with that here. Most bosses I ended up "cheesing" to just get clear.

    There is a 100% pacifist playthrough that essentially exploits the AI's need to spam you even at it's own detriment. Essentially the player would lure the boss to a cliff of some sort and "assist" them on their way off. The funny thing this is seen as a "challenge" playthrough when it's actually the most efficient way to defeat the bosses as most of the time you won't be getting within 10ft of the boss without being obliterated by endless AoE attacks. So many times I resulted to spamming rot arrows at a boss from a cliff he couldn't reach (screw you Fallingstar Beast).

    Then there is the issue of easily missing critical game components. For example, Roderika is a Tarnished you will most likely find semi-early in the game but if you aren't gung-ho about harassing her for dialogue you won't get one of your first ashes AND later at the roundtable a key NPC for making ashes stronger. There is no indication that you need to speak with her multiple times in the slightest. A lot of quests in this game are just like this; easily missed UNLESS you are constantly researching with a google browser open and I feel that's a damn shame. Quests are just so disjointed and NPC's are just so vague when offering help it can be quite annoying more than fun. There are times when you find a riddle and the only way to progress is to talk to another NPC "merchant" you met early in the game and since have met about 70 other NPC since, how people figure this nonsense out is beyond me.

    Other than that, boss battles are generally fairly amazing and the lore is simply amazing. You'll have to piece the story together yourself but it's there. The world is huge and it is amazing fun finding new things constantly. There is a great deal of detail and you can see where the devs put their passion. A good game where "strategy" is key and even if the strategy is "cheesy" it's still a legit strategy. Remember everything is fair game in war.

    helpful tips:
    GET A BOW - I don't care what class you play, bows are awesome and a great tool. You can use them to snipe enemies and lure enemies out of groups and generally have a bigger range than even magic. You can pick up a long bow early from the husks at the roundtable hold for 1000 runes and buy standard arrows from most world merchants fairly cheap.

    Husk Merchant - located in the roundtable, has some very useful items for sale and inventory expands when you bring Bell Bearings back, some of the most useful ones being Smithing-Stone Miner's Bell Bearing which allows you to buy infinite 1-3 smithing stones and Iji's Bell Bearing for somber smithing stones. There are better ones and ones that allow you to buy higher smithing stones, too! the bells have no other use so make sure to always hand them over to the husk merchants.

    Exhaust NPC dialogue - just do it, speak to every NPC until they start to repeat themselves. Sometimes later, they will offer helpful advice only if you met the interact prerequisite.

    Ashes - Use them, they are great and make sure to upgrade them in the roundtable (via Roderika).

    A good Offense is sometimes the best Defense - Here it's absolutely true. sure, it's great to avoid damage but just defending WILL get you killed.

    crafting items - so many useful items to craft...namely a cure for poison (which you will be poisoned a lot). You expand your crafting abilities through cookbooks. One that comes to mind is the Armorer's cookbook [2] which you get from the coastal merchant in western Limgrave.    … Expand

    More of the same in a good and bad way. Great gameplay and fairly interesting world (though not their best). Poor ass graphics for 2022, saved to an extent by artistic direction. Too spread out. I got bored and stopped playing. Bloodborne was better. All subjective, of course. No need to get pissed if you disagree.

    Absolutely in my top 5 games of all time. I platinumed this game, but only reason it is not a 10/10 is because I think they should still have a difficulty setting. A buddy of mine does not like souls like games because of the difficulty and it would have been nice to play with him. Had there been some sort of difficulty setting then maybe the game becomes more accessible for others

User reviewers who are dropping 0's, 1's, 2's, 3's , 4's have completely lost perspective....and worse, think they're being honorable in doing so. Quite the opposite, in fact. As for the minor graphical/performance hiccups....the age old adage "gameplay trumps graphics" is absolutely hammered home in Elden Ring. And, in spite of the ridiculously low scores trying to prove a point not worth proving, the graphics are very good. They aren't "the best"...it's not Ghosts of Tsushima....but they are good. But any Souls player worth his or her salt, won't care about Ghosts style/level graphics/performance. That's never been what these games are about. It's about the art style.....the cryptic lore.....the fantastical dark fantasy elements and entities that are straight out of a Salvador Dali fever dream. It's about the build and the weapons and the magic....for a world beyond one's conception. For those of us Souls lovers who have also been pining for something.....anything....to bring in something fresh and challenging into the worn and thread-bare open world quasi-RPG adventure game genre.....Elden Ring is a colossal, shining-with-dark-light beacon.....a colossal, over-arching gold-white tree......to orient oneself around, wherever one might travel looking for hidden wonders in this perennially and compulsively wonderful and extremely dangerous world.

I found myself stopping at times looking around at the gorgeous view especially on top of large cliffs or mountains. The time of day changes can create different shots as well.
    The open world in Elden Ring is done better than most open world games today. That's what's considered "Revolutionary". They kept the souls-like feel despite going open-world which is more than what most game devs are able to do with their games when going in that direction. The way they reuse assets in this game is done properly. The world isn't littered with garbage and utterly useless items making the game feel repetitive (*cough cough Ubisoft games). Some of the bosses you fight early in the game become tough regular enemies later in the game making you as the player feel stronger and accomplished with the knowledge of how to defeat such enemies. The catacombs/dungeons are structured in a way that feel the same but each have their own set of enemies, traps, secrets, rewards and items. There's a reason to go into a specific dungeon because you may want that talisman, weapon, or ash. The recycling of assets in Elden Ring is done in a way that other developers should look at as an example of how to make a game feel fresh for 100 hours. The only other game that has done this well that I've played is Batman Arkham Knight

    I wouldn't call the combat boring in any way even if you've been playing Souls games from the beginning. I mean, maybe you're just bored of it? I'm not a souls veteran by any means but I have played Souls 1, Sekiro and now this game. There is a clear difference in scale and choices in Elden Ring. The amount of different builds you can design lets the player choose from literally 50+ options of how to play the game. You can look up builds on youtube as there are many literally just making builds for this game. I think this was FromSoft's way of adding more variety but it may have also added an "easy mode" as there are some builds/weapons that are considered by the community OP and an easy way of running through Elden Ring. (ie. Moonveil, Magic, etc)

    Overall, I highly recommend this game to any gamer. It is still difficult compared to your average RPG but will be worth the time and effort if you stick through it.    … 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.
