You have to look around, under every rock, every cave etc. I love it. Playing With your friends is more enjoyable.

    tl,dr: Elden Ring is a masterpiece with some flaws. However, you are not guaranteed to like it, since Fromsoft sticks to their formula regarding graphics, multiplayer and most important of all difficulty.

However, you are not guaranteed to like it, since Fromsoft sticks to their formula regarding graphics, multiplayer and most important of all difficulty.

    First, the reason why most review sites (rightfully) acclaim this game: It does not tell you what to do. There is a tutorial of course, but after that you are free to explore the huge open world with only a loose suggestion where to go. This game does NOT bombard you with markers on the map or characters who spoon-feed you the story and solutions for your in-game problems. And this is what really is the selling point of this game: When you find something interesting, when you beat an enemy or when you connect lore pieces to a coherent story, it is all your doing and gratification comes with it. And there are many interesting things to find from loot, bosses to npcs and side quests. Some bosses are a bit repetitive, but since the scope of this game is larger than anything they did until today, it is excusable.

    Regarding the difficulty: This game is a Soulslike. That means you will die a lot and most bosses and even enemies will impose a challenge for players unfamiliar with the genre. If that is not of your liking, look elsewhere. A changeable difficulty setting, or an overall easier game will not happen, should not happen if you ask the Fromsoft fanbase and is comparable to asking for guns in FIFA or a PEGI 3 rating for GTA. Therefore, every soulsborne fan is probably satisfied with the challenge Elden Ring poses. Nonetheless, there are plenty of mechanics to get help from: spirit ashes which will attract boss attention or other players who can help in multiplayers. The most difficult bosses are also optional. Even players new to the genre should give it a try.

    For a game with great difficulty, it is of utmost importance that the internal mechanic is good enough that you are actually fighting the bosses and not the controls. And the game mechanics guarantee just that. Controls are understandable, animations smooth and you have plenty of possibilities to adapt the fighting to your personal style and even be able to change your stats and weapons mid-game. The wide range of weapons, spells, and talismans are interesting and allow several approaches to tackle an enemy.

    The lore is fascinating, and you should definitely read item descriptions and listen to npcs to understand what is going on. Their stories are often catching, and the underlying (interpretable) bigger picture is worth the effort. Personally, I think other Fromsoft games have a better underlying lore where they tackle more interesting questions, although none of them has a lore so rich. Elden Ring is more defined by the relations of the fractions and gods among themselves than the question of humanities place in the world.

    The graphics are not AAA standard compared to games like God of War, Horizon or even the Demon’s Souls remake. Do not get me wrong, the design of Elden Ring is great and connects very well to the overall lore/story. So well, that you can hunt for details in boss design and likely be able to learn something from it. But the technical aspects are an average B-. Clipping errors, loading of objects and washed-out textures are common. As I mentioned, this isn’t a surprise, and the game is definitely an improvement compared to Dark Souls, but it is something they should work on. There focus is clearly on game mechanics and design. I do think this game is beautiful, but in 2022 more is possible.

    At last, the multiplayer is fun for cooperation and invasion of players. But the whole mechanic is still tedious to understand and to execute, since areas are often randomly defined as a section which you can’t leave while in coop or invasion. Sometimes this is necessary, sometimes it is just annoying. But still Elden Ring does it way better than Bloodborne.

    Summary: Elden Ring has everything a soulslike fan could want, but still suffers from similar problems other Fromsoft titles did. However, the vast open world, interesting lore, challenging bosses with intelligent design and the thrill of exploration outweigh all the quirks by a great margin. GOTY incoming, 10/10 Fromsoft game.    … Expand

    Third Person Action RPG perfection. Elden Ring is an absolute masterpiece.

    It just takes a little bit of patience to learn the ways of the combat in the Soulsborne games,
    then it becomes some of the best experience in all of gaming.

It's a game that's simply not for every gamer and I question just how much more "accessible" it really is.

    Objectively, Elden Ring is the pinnacle of gaming and possibly one of the top 5 open world games ever made. No, there aren't vast villages and towns with shops to explore littered throughout the world. Instead, there are hidden NPC's, bosses, dungeons, enemy encampments, mines, abandoned churches, numerous areas, numerous secrets, etc. It's very different from your ordinary open world fantasy game, but done in the best ways possible.

    Ultimately, it's hard to find a "weak point" with Elden Ring, other than to say it won't appeal to many gamers. I have not, for example experienced any of the technical issues, and everything else (as stated by other reviews) is perfect. Gameplay is amazing and hitboxes are fixed. Dungeons and Legacy Dungeons are brilliantly done. The open world is varied and begs to be explored. Bosses are difficult, but co-op is back and better than ever. Customization is nigh infinite.

    It is a brilliant game with brilliant pieces. Although, one that not everyone will enjoy if they're not up for the adventure.    … Expand

But if I were to average out all of the 7/10 moments along with the 12/10 moments, I really believe it would average out to a 10/10. This game far exceeded my expectations in every way imaginable. It was my second FromSoft game, following Dark Souls Remastered. The art style is absolutely breathtaking, with nearly every screen looking like it was ripped out of an oil painting.

    What's most remarkable is how many moments of guaranteed genuine surprise that they baked into an open world game: the first time you take the Siofra River Well elevator and see the underground night sky, jumping over the wall that leads into Caelid and seeing its blood-red sky--along with many, many others. The world is equally breathtakingly beautiful and terrifying, with creatures that will make you truly panic (the Royal Revenant comes to mind).

    The quality of the bosses here, are top-notch as well. Having now played all of the Soulsborne games, I can say Elden Ring has some of the best bosses, perhaps second only to Sekiro. I've heard much criticism about the bosses difficulty level, that it is so overtuned so that spirit summons are needed or some such. I completely disagree. I went through my first playthrough with plenty of summons or ashes of war. But later I went back and went through the entire game with one of the slowest weapons just for fun--the Great Club. I can tell you that even Malenia has guaranteed openings to hit a fully charged R2 with this super slow weapon. The bosses are just harder and more complex than before, with branch points in their combos based on your positioning--and I am here for it. It absolutely feels unfair at first, but once you've decided you're going to take them on solo, melee-only, it is an absolute thrill-ride. And, if you'd prefer to Comet Azur them while your Mimic takes agro--go for it! Elden Ring absolutely has its flaws (rewards for finishing dungeons not always being exciting, re-used bosses, etc), but this has to be the best game I've played in years.    … Expand

    What I Like: It's the souls formula in an open world and it works well. So if you enjoy both genres like me, then you're in for a treat. Mostly a familiar trek to those experienced, but adds just enough variety and new stuff to keep things interesting.

    What I Dislike: It's a PS4 (PRO) game through and through. Nothing is being taken advantage of specifically in the PS5 hardware. In fact, the performance can be quite subpar at times. Magic is OP in both PVE and PVP in this game. Great if you like magic, sucks if you don't.

    How It Stacks Up: I still prefer the Dark Souls series. This game does some great things, but it also falls short in some aspects. Assets are reused quite a bit, despite the core gameplay being addictive. PVP is in a bit of a sorry state right now unless you use magic. Difficulty is more forgiving due to lots of checkpoints and less severe death penalties, but the game is still long and treacherous. It's a must play.    … Expand

However, I feel everyone’s personal play through will be a little different and the anecdotes will be unique and entertaining. On my 3rd character, I was clearing an area that I had been through 2 times. I was happily gobbling up resources and poking around the map without a care in the world. All of the sudden, a boss health bar appears that says ‘Deathbird’. A giant skeletal crow about 20 times my size drops out of the sky and pecks me to death. I was slack jawed for a bit and then just started laughing. The thing scared the crap out of me and was pure nightmare fuel to look at. When I came back, it didn’t show up. It took me awhile to realize it was a nighttime boss only. I advanced time and after a few tries, got my revenge. I can’t think of another series where things like this happen.… Expand

Elden Ring got me all hyped. I bought a ps5 to play it and I'm sorely disappointed by my experience. I'm 90 hours into the game and it's boring. It's (excuse the pun) a soulless experience. This game suffers from what Metal Gear Solid 5 suffered from. It just didn't need to be open world. FromSoftware excels in tight level design. This is their first stab at open world and it shows. You end up riding around a dull world looking for action only to be confronted with too many bosses, many of which are lazily recycled. I'd prefer a smaller world packed with danger around every corner and less but more unique enemies. FromSoftware fell into the trap for open world games that more is better. I bought this digitally so I'm really pushing myself to finish it but after 90 hours in struggling. And not due to the difficulty. The game doesn't reward the players time. Empty, barren worlds with crappy gifts at the end of a dungeon or mini boss isn't fun. Bloodborne **** all over this game. I've been playing FromSoftware games since demon soul's on ps3 and (excluding ds2 and sekiro) this is my biggest disappointment. Dark souls 2 gets a pass because the FromSoftware B team made it and sekiro was an entirely different game with a few overlapping mechanics. Elden Ring could've and should've been their magnum opus but instead ends up as just another bland and repetitive open world game. The only difference being that it has harder enemies compared to other triple A open world games.… Expand

    Elden Ring is one of the most carefully designed games in the last years, especially in level design and mechanics. It obviously follows its predecessors Souls games but refines every aspect of it, combat is more dynamic and have plenty of new mechanics, it is not an R1 smasher anymore, it have the biggest variety of abilities and spells, history is intricated, gameplay challenging at any time, and the map is huge. After 60 hours of gameplay, I am still being impressed of the size, the locations, its atmosphere and how small they make me feel.

    It is, a game with an initial steep learning curve, and give you little info and nowhere to check it. If you have a quest, you need to remember it, you wont have a HUD telling you everything to do, just like real life. It is challenging and it demands you to die a lot, but every dead is not a failure but a chance to learn. But hey, it is an open world that is filled with many, many things (don’t listen to other reviews, Assassin’s Creed is an empty map, not Elden Ring), so if you are stuck on a boss, maybe you should just go somewhere else and come back with better level and skills.

    Being an open world and allowing you to tackle bosses and difficult situations later on, makes a more accessible game that other Souls, that are more lineal and forces you to kill a boss or you cannot advance.

    For me, being a Souls fan since Demon Souls, it feels like a step forward, a beautiful game filled of experiences and adventures, and I am sure many people will enjoy it. This said, if you use to play with all aids, in easy mode, and you are not used to challenges, and want to feel overpowered and simply smash buttons, this is not your game. You will get frustrated as it demands mental calm.    … Expand

    The only flaw I see? This game needs a warning on its cover: "not another ubi-like game"

    No, seriously, I'm so tired of games that constantly hold my hand and treat me like I'm a child. Unlike FarCry, Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima, Assassins Creed and others, Elden Ring trust its players. Here you get to truly explore a world in ruins. It's a beautiful and mysterious land. You see a castle far away? An abandoned house? A cavern entrance? Maybe go take a look. And be sure you'll find a location that is so unique it doesn't need question marks or a compass pointing to it.

    Same for the non-player characters and their quests. They also feel unique and tailored to be memorable. Not the traditional "fetch x pieces of wood", "kill x boars" nonsense you see anywhere else. This game respects your time.

    What to say about the combat? Deep and strategic, simply put. Again, if you face your enemies like you would have done in Assassins Creed you're in for a world of pain and frustration. Combat in Elden Ring is all about observing, learning and committing to each and every action you perform. Take for instance Tree Sentinel. Bastard demolished me for at least two hours, but I eventually killed him, though not before I learned his attacks (and took some good rest so my brain could absorb what I learned). And that's how it was meant to be. Tree Sentinel is now a satisfying memory of a challenge I overcame. See you again in NG+ my friend.

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 artsAmazing game, I started off somewhat skeptical when I was first exploring the map thinking it was empty, but when I started really exploring I realised how much caves, dungeons and secrets are all hidden and waiting to be discovered. 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. The only problem that I had was draw distance I find it unpleasure to look far in open areas, anyway I'd highly recommend to anyone especially a fan of dark souls.… 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.
