    if you enjoy a fascinating open world full of secrets areas and mysteries to explore and don't get frustrated at dying constantly this game is for you.
    if you have no patience and need to be shown and given anything with minimal effort move on

    It's not a game for everyone. At times it's a game that demands a great deal, perhaps more than many players will want to give. But given the time and the dedication you are rewarded with one of the most memorable experiences in video game history.    … Expand

I have completed most character side quests and have beat almost every major boss in the game but I can't wait to explore the Lands Between all over again with a new build in new game plus. Exploring the world of Elden Ring has been such a blast. The game is absolutely massive without feeling empty. I couldn't go five minutes without finding something cool or interesting in the world. The environmental design and art direction for every area, npc, armor, weapon, spell, and boss is outstanding. The lore and story of Elden Ring always peeked my interest and made me want to look through every item description to learn more about the world. There are some very memorable side quests and moments that I don't think I will ever forget. Some of the bosses in Elden Ring are among the best I've ever fought. Nearly everything about Elden Ring feels handcrafted to perfection. The only problems I have with the game are that there are a lot of repeat bosses and many bosses or enemies have extremely hard to dodge attacks that insta kill anyone with a low enough vigor. Also the game has some problems that are hard to avoid due to its scale, like how its hard to know how to continue a side quest without a guide and some of the repeat bosses feel poorly placed. But these problems are relatively small because the rest of the game is genuinely amazing. Overall, I think Elden Ring might be my favorite game of all time but I need some more time to fully decide that. Also anyone who is new or hasn't played a soulsborne game should play try Elden Ring before other soulsborne games due to the massive access ability the game lends to players. But one thing that is for sure is I will definitely be picking up every fromsoftware title I haven't played yet (Dark Souls 1-3 and Sekiro) and I will be getting the platinum trophy for Elden Ring. I can't wait for the dlc.… Expand

    I'm saying this as someone who never really like any of the previous Souls games. Elden Ring is my favorite game of all time. I would 100% recommend this game to everyone. I honestly never thought I would fall in love with this game so much. It's kind of ironic comparing myself today to myself a few days ago. Elden Ring is literally my life now.

    Got the platinum trophy after a week and a half. This game is such a beautiful culmination of everything from software has been building.

    250+ Hours. Nearly perfect.

    Why the 1 point deduction? - Graphics are good, but not up to AAA standards for Ps5 - Sadly, no real ps4 to ps5 differences besides performance - There is no hand-holding. For some players, this may feel cruel. - At times, solutions to roadblocks are so left-field it's near impossible without community hints. - Takes a solid 20-30 hours before progress    250+ Hours.

    Why the 1 point deduction?
    - Graphics are good, but not up to AAA standards for Ps5
    - Sadly, no real ps4 to ps5 differences besides performance
    - There is no hand-holding. For some players, this may feel cruel.
    - At times, solutions to roadblocks are so left-field it's near impossible without community hints.
    - Takes a solid 20-30 hours before progress feels fluid.

    Why the 9?
    - Best open world combat to date. You'll likely replay the entire game to try a different combat style.
    - It's huge. 250+ hours and I'm only now getting around to beating it.
    - Hard, but not as hard as other Souls games. You can get OP fast if it's your intention.
    - Secrets galore. The world is littered with breadcrumbs to sidetrack you in the best way possible.
    - Risk/Reward is balanced. When it's "too much", you're probably in the right place at the wrong time.
    - True gaming glory. No doubt you die a lot, but victories have never felt more fun and meaningful.

    TLDR : Minor performance shortcomings. A revolutionary take on the Open-World RPG and must-play for fans of combat/exploration RPGs.    … Expand

For all it's success, I find it disappointing that From can't improve on their graphics. Clippings, outdated animations and assets, half-ass textures, , AI can be nonexistent at times. All that said, Dark Souls blood runs deep and if you're a fan, then it's easily the masterpiece we've been waiting for. I really hope scores less than a 7 gets removed. Even not a fan, this game deserves nothing less than a 7 for it's size, scope, breathtaking fantasy vision, replayability and sooo many hidden gems. Fantastic game!… Expand

It is the result of over a decade in experience, taking what works from every game From has put out. It is a love letter to fans of their previous games.

    This game is a masterpiece. I picked up the game Friday, started playing about 7pm. It’s now 11.30am on Sunday, and have 22 hours played.

    The world design is a massive step forward for open world games. You are given no direction, and yet quite quickly, become engrossed in exploration, Elden Ring doesn’t want to let you go. There’re enemies and items in every direction. Caves, camps,    This game is a masterpiece. I picked up the game Friday, started playing about 7pm.

    The world design is a massive step forward for open world games. You are given no direction, and yet quite quickly, become engrossed in exploration, Elden Ring doesn’t want to let you go. There’re enemies and items in every direction. Caves, camps, villages, ruins, castles and keeps, what they’ve achieved here is something great. The crafting is simple and does not distract you from the core mechanics of the game. The world is huge, In my 22 hours, I’ve only had two boss models be repeated / reused, and even in those cases, the boss had either a different weapon or something added to the fight to mix things up.

    The combat is fluid and, while it has it’s quirks, it’s essentially what we’ve come to expect in a From game. The bosses are varied in both aesthetic and challenge. While most will not deliver that frustration and block to progression your first stab at Smough and Ornstein did 10 years ago, they test your skill and knowledge of the game non the less.

    People seem obsessed with the performance and graphics of the game. Well, no From game is known for it’s stellar performance on release . Either they’re not familiar with From games, or they are, and they’re just sensitive to fps dips. The game does drop below 60 dps in performance mode on PS5, but never to an extent that results in the game crashing or becoming unplayable. I’ve had graphical pop ins, bugs where my mount didn’t spawn in and I was left flying in mid air, rendering issues, and fps drops. But none of that has affected my enjoyment of Elden Ring because… this game is everything we could have asked for and From have knocked it out of the park.

    On the graphical issues and performance, people need some perspective. No PS5 game runs well in any sort of the quality, resolution, cinematic mode, the fps is always unbearable… we’re two years in and this is still the case. Nobody talks about this. All PS5 games are essentially last gen (PS4) ports with checkboarding resolution / upscaling. In general, almost every game released nowadays is unfinished, and the price tag for exclusives and annual releases has gone up to £60 or £70. You can’t have everything I’m afraid, we have backward compatibility, well, we sacrificed a true generational leap in the progress. Elden Ring does what it can with the limitations placed on it for having to be developed for 5 different platforms, I can almost guarantee that the game would be better optimised and look better overall, if it were only developed for PS5, Series X and PC.

    One last note. Graphically the game is somewhat identical to Dark Souls 3. But to come out with what they’ve produced in the 4 or 5 years since Senior, is nothing short of astounding. Yes, it is disappointing that we’re not looking at Demon’s Souls aesthetics, but please remember that Demon’s Souls was PS5 only, all development time went into optimising the game for that platform. Elden Ring has been developed with last PS4 players in mind.    … Expand

Lol, The designs, moves and abilities just leave you there in awe..
    Would without question recommend this game to anyone! Granted I will say, this game doesnt hold your hand. It doesn't tell you where to go besides a vague yellow light (grace) or if you skipped something. It really makes you feel like you are truly in control of your own story. You get to choose your own path right at the get go. Also combat is MASSIVELY improved from the past games. There are SO many different melee abilities or spells that really change up the game!
    Personally, I'll never forget my experiences playing this game, it makes me feel like a kid again, actually staying up all night to get past a certain point.
    Games like these only come once in a generation. If I was you, I wouldn't miss out on this masterpiece! 10/10. Also if you are worried about framerate, dont be. It's very rare and only in certain areas. Even then it's not bad at all and knowing fromsoftware, I'm sure it'll get fixed soon.    … Expand

    The game deserves all the praise. Most of the 0 scores are just review bombers/people who haven’t even played the game. Boring open world? Bad graphics? Those saying that clearly haven’t played it. This game is stellar and a masterpiece and the graphics are great. Oh no a game that can be challenging amongst 100s of games that hold your hand. smh

    A souls game that is wildly difficult but fair when compared to other modern fromsoftware titles. Most areas can be taken on or explored right out the gate and the world is full of secrets from rare items to sweet looking gear. First time players will be happy to know this is the most approachable souls game to date!

Were initially i was feeling quite skeptical about the open world, however it sold me when I reached the first of many legacy dungeons. the combat shines again, maybe less refined than a title like Sekiro, however still holds its own above most others in the genre. The level design in the legacy dungeons is carefully thought out and expertly organized in a interconnected maze, however the smaller dungeons often leave me wanting a better system.
    The Boss fights again are amazing, showing off a wide variety of designs and styles, however the repeated bosses and "gank" bosses often are frustrating, to what otherwise is almost a perfect experience.
    The visual design is again at times breathtaking, however its not the best looking of the ps5 generation, however more than passable!
    This is probably the most accessible of the Fromsoft games, with the most options ever for newcomers (Use magic ;)), and this is probably why it has gained the biggest following yet for a Fromsoft game.

    Would definitely recommend for people curious or interested in the series but have always been to nervous to try!    … Expand

The enemy variety is quite frankly, insane to behold. How they could've put so much variety into that many different creatures is amazing. A few moves here and there were taken from previous FromSoft games, but with the staggering size of everything, it's quite frankly a drop in the bucket. Game devs do this all the time, nothing unusual here.

    The scenery was absolutely gorgeous: there were breathtaking vistas full of color; castles, churches, mysterious structures dotted the horizon, dungeons and mines below ground beckoned me to explore their depths. The first zone alone blew my mind, the ones that came after just as great. Want intricately designed buildings to explore, classic Dark Souls style? Morne's Castle and Stormveil Castle got you covered. Want to explore an open world on horseback, running through rivers, forests and fields? You can do that too!

    The graphics, while not as great as something like Demon's Souls Remastered, were still quite good. It's at exactly the level you'd expect for a game that released on both next gen and previous gen hardware. Anyone saying differently is insane, check out screenshots or video yourself. Everything ran smoothly for me as well, I didn't notice any horrendous frame drops or stuttering, it ran as a good as any other game I've played. But really, the feeling of clearing a new zone, and then rounding the corner to experience a completely new area left my jaw on the floor every time.

    Never did I feel like the game was unfair to me either, and if something seemed too hard, I could easily go level up my stats or weapons elsewhere and come back stronger. Bosses and enemies demand your attention and respect, but failure is solely on the user and not a poorly designed encounter.

    Quests, like in other FromSoft games, were very much small options to do on the side and offered to flesh out the world in cool ways. If you're coming in expecting to to be led around with map markers to clear bandit camps, I'd recommend playing something else like a new Assassin's Creed instead. That sounds mean, and it isn't meant to be, it's just a fundamentally different type of RPG, and not everyone is gonna know what to expect. And that's ok! Like previous FromSoft games, the wiki will eventually be updated with all pertinent quest information, so if you can't quite find your way through a quest, you can look on there.

    To me, this game is a 10/10. It isn't perfect, but that isn't what a 10 means in reviews. It completely surpassed my expectations, and every day I woke up feeling like it was Christmas morning with how excited I was to play it. With how many disappointing games released in 2021, we needed this win.

    I hope whoever reads this doesn't take the 0's as true fact. Most are disingenuous and review bomb worthy, citing issues on the PC port (this isn't even the PC game) or just straight up lying. The mixed reviews are a far better barometer of dislike, and if you're on the fence about buying, try reading those. People giving the game a 0 because of "PS3 graphics" aren't going to be giving accurate assessments of the title.

    Overall, Elden Ring hits every mark, and it was much better than I could've ever hoped for. It's different than a lot of the more popular RPG's that people are more familiar with. Please don't write it off because it doesn't guide you along as close as other games too. It's an experience that I've not felt before, and it has raised the bar for games in general. I hope you can experience it for yourself.    … Expand

I know it sounds like I am bashing the game but I am not I do enjoy it but it just sucks because this could have been no very much better with just a few tweaks.

I don't often leave reviews for games, but when I saw some of the review-bombing that the PS5 version of Elden Ring is getting on here, I figured I had to say my piece.
    First off, there are clearly tons of people who are on the wrong page and don't realize it. The PC port is not very well done and I won't say anything to defend it, but to come to the PS5 listing and complain about PC frame rate issues, lack of ultrawide support and other issues that clearly have nothing to do with PS5 is extremely dishonest. If you removed all of the negative reviews that have been clearly left on the wrong page, the score would be like 10 points higher. It's a shame that people can outright post that they are reviewing the wrong game as part of their review feedback, and that review just stays up and potentially affects other's opinions. I think Metacritic should remove reviews that are posted to the wrong platform.
    That aside, the game is astonishing. The folks saying that the open world is flat or empty must be playing a completely different game than I am. You can barely run for 30 seconds before finding something interesting. I am probably not even a third into the game and I have found so many things that have surprised and intrigued me that I have lost count. Some assets (like catacombs) are re-configured and re-used, but when maybe 4 out of the 100+ points of interest I've found are re-configured, that is completely okay with me.
    As for the folks who are saying that this game is re-using assets (animations etc.) as a form of criticism, I think they are being completely unrealistic. For a game of this magnitude to exist, that was a tool that FromSoft had which made it possible in the first place. They have a pile of animation rigs, AI and other assets from other games they have published on this engine, and it seems to me that their swan song for that robust engine is to take all of the best from it and use it (plus countless new assets) to build a gargantuan game which would not otherwise be possible, and to give an incredible amount of content to players who enjoy the material FromSoft creates.
    I suspect that the hype, mostly by gaming news sites with reviewers that have come to love FromSoft games, has led to many new folks picking up Elden Ring who have not played other FromSoft games and have no idea what they are getting into. That clearly shows in some of the reviews that are listing series staples as design flaws.
    In short, the PS5 version of this game is the way to go, and it runs perfectly. The graphics are fantastic considering the unimaginable scope of this game, and the gameplay is perfect. Go explore, get lost, get killed, get lost somewhere else, get stronger and come back to get revenge. This game is truly open-ended, and everything is possible right from the start. It feels like being dropped into a living, breathing world with endless mysteries to unravel. If that sounds cool to you, you will enjoy this game.    … Expand

    Detto ciò, essendo che nel mondo video ludico non ci sono solo i giochi From la valutazione deve essere differente. Soprattutto considerando l’enorme mole di giochi open world disponibili.
    Il mondo è estremamente statico, nemmeno la vegetazione reagisce minimamente al passaggio del PG, cosa non da PlayStation 4 ma da PlayStation 3. Il mondo se non per la presenza di mostri (a volte molto ispirati e comunque presenti in grande varietà) è totalmente morto e vuoto. Tecnicamente parlando siamo di fronte a un gioco a inizio generazione PlayStation 4, non ci passo sopra “perché è From”, sopratutto considerando il frame rate instabile in un gioco di questo tipo.
    Tralasciando il reparto tecnico insufficiente, ci sono state belle innovazioni nel combattimento come ceneri e il salto. Ma si tira dietro i classici problemi della saga. Hitbox imprecise, animazioni legnose e imprecise. Con animazioni imprecise intendo che per fare un parry l’unica cosa da fare è imparare a memoria il tempismo andando a tentativi. Perché in base al nemico il tempismo cambia ma non segue l’animazione. Quindi abbiamo un sistema di combattimento difficile NON per una AI particolarmente efficace e per un combattimento estremamente tecnico e profondo, ma semplicemente perché non è fatto come si deve. Anche perché è un sistema di combattimento abbastanza basilare.

    Reparto creativo eccellente, bellissimo a livello artistico. E per chi piace, ottima anche la “narrativa”. In sostanza, come gioco From gioco da 9, come gioco nel mondo reale dove esiste la concorrenza e le altre case di sviluppo, oltre al 7 questo titolo non merita.    … Expand

With so many video games in recent years being open world's and them all being so similar it is so nice to see a new and fresh take on open world. There is no quest log or objective markers the game is just about exploring all there is in the way of guidance is a beam of light pointing the way you are supposed to go to continue the story at some checkpoints. But all side quests and areas you have to discover on your own and that is so cool because most open world's tell you exactly where to go and so you just head straight for that direction no really exploring alot but this game since you don't know exactly where to go you have to explore to find everything and it tells completely different then most open world's. The world is massive and has so many secrets to find and areas to explore. There are entire massive underground areas that you find just through exploring and can be completely missed. Everywhere you go you never know what you are gonna find even after 60 hours you are still finding completely new and unexpected things. If you for some reason just want a traditional souls game and want to miss out on the amazing world the game has you can do that too because you can just follow the path through the story though I highly recommend not doing that because the world is one of the main things that makes this game so great. The game is hard obviously but the feeling you get after trying a boss for hours and finally beating it in amazing. I still highly recommend this game for people who don't want to spend hours and bosses because if you want to you can summon other players to help you defeat the bosses and it makes the game alot easier (the closest you get to an easy mode). This game it is so unique and special and there is not really any games that it is even comparable to. Whether you like past souls games or not and whether you like open world games or not you should atleast try this game because it is nothing like past souls games or open world games or really any games for that matter.… Expand

    Super good game, i think the bad reviews are people expecting too much and receiving less than expected it’s like DS3 but with more customization, Fromsoft isn’t known for graphics so that should even be considered they are known for gameplay and it’s great as always. The open world isn’t empty this is a open world DS game not Skyrim 2, there isn’t gonna be a lot of side quests compared toSuper good game, i think the bad reviews are people expecting too much and receiving less than expected it’s like DS3 but with more customization, Fromsoft isn’t known for graphics so that should even be considered they are known for gameplay and it’s great as always. The open world isn’t empty this is a open world DS game not Skyrim 2, there isn’t gonna be a lot of side quests compared to other open world games and should already be expected, people expected open world and forgot the DS aspect. And either peoples consoles are just made bad and outta luck or they just hating and trying to give more hate I get almost no frame rate issues other than teleporting to a place then it’s drops for a second or 2 then that’s it back to 60… Expand

    The openworld is so fun to explore - kind of like Breath of the Wild. Everywhere I go I find something new to explore. The story is a typical Dark Souls Story - so dont expect something new here. The only slighty annoying thing are the little bit outdated graphics of the game - but let's be honest FromSoftware games never had the best graphics and their games did not not get famous becauseThe openworld is so fun to explore - kind of like Breath of the Wild.

    A punishing but absolutely joyful experience. Genuine masterpiece. Don’t expect Breath of the Wild. Expect Dark Souls with horses

    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.
