After playing for about ten more hours I got used to it and now it is addicted. This game is very challenging and might take gamers that are not used to these types of games much longer to become the Elden Lord. I find myself dying and recollecting my ruins so much doing each playthrough. I think even if you're not great at these games that you might find something to enjoy about it. For me, collecting ruins and leveling up until I am strong enough to beat a boss is pretty fun. The graphics for this game is very beautiful. The framerate is very good in performance mode with some dips. It really feels like I am in a dark and twisted world. Overall, I think that this is the most fun I've had with a game in forever. I highly recommend it.… Expand

This game is a masterpiece and I highly suspect the majority of them are from people who have struggled to get past the first boss alone and have been stuck wandering the beginning areas of the game. The world of Elden Ring is expansive and lively, from countless enemies around almost every corner to 83 bosses in total, 77 of which are completely unique from one another, to the huge amount of NPC’s both hidden and in plain view for you to interact with. Elden Ring is the totality of everything From Soft has learned over the decades of making the Soulsborne games and put them all together for both veterans of the series and newcomers to enjoy. This game however is not for the faint of heart, you will grow frustrated with bosses or enemies at points, that’s a staple of any Soulsborne game and that’s what brings so much enjoyment out of it when you finally overcome that boss you spent an extended amount of time on, just to turn around and get knocked back down by the next area of enemies or bosses. It’s a rollercoaster ride of pain and excitement all at once. That’s not even going into depth on the sheer amount of lore and Easter eggs that are hidden in the game. My only knock is that sure there are some technical issues here and there and the graphics aren’t the best we’ve ever seen but the issues are nothing patches to the game can’t fix, many of these issues are already being looked into by From Software as well. Moral of the review is that this game is worth every single penny spent on it and will bring you hours, days and possibly even weeks of enjoyment, pain, excitement and frustration in all of the right ways on just your first play through alone.… Expand

    It has a little disappointment with the early optimization issue, but except for that, this game is just a masterpiece. Definitely 10/10. Elden ring is not that difficult actually. If you face an enemy you can't beat temporarily, just go somewhere else and return later.

    As someone who's beaten every FromSoftware Soulsborne game enough times for it to seem like it's my full time job, I can say with certainty that Elden Ring is the best game they've made in the genre and arguably the best game ever made. I'm currently 50 hours in with an incredible amount of content cleared and tons more yet to be explored. It's genuinely mind blowing how a game of this magnitude, polish, and replay-ability was released only 3 years after FromSoftware's last game (Sekiro) which was also incredible.

    In an age of talentless TripleA developers pumping out unfinished and uninspired garbage year after year for upwards of $70 USD just for the standard copy, Elden Ring takes me back to the good ole days of paying $60 for a complete experience that does not need updates and will satisfy me for years to come. Granted every FromSoftware game since Demons Souls has been more than worth the price of admission, but this one is on a whole other level. This game has an enormous world that's never boring to explore, a staggering 80+ bosses, limitless build options, and near infinite replay value. Not to mention it has some of the coolest weapons, bosses, and most beautiful locations I've ever seen in a game. Elden Ring easily deserves the highest praise it can get with a 10/10 score from me and it sets a new bar for this genre and gaming in general that at this point only FromSoftware can top. The rest of the industry needs to take notice. This is how you make a game for the fans and not for the money.

    WHAT IS ELDEN RING?

    Elden Ring is a new game and new universe created by FromSoftware in association with George R.R Martin. It is the next evolution in FromSoftware's "souls" genre that they started way back with Demons Souls in 2009 on the PS3. It takes that classic souls formula of deep RPG elements, punishing stamina based combat that requires timing and patience to master, losing your level up currency upon death (in this case runes) and needing to retrieve them before dying again and losing them forever, difficult boss battles, bonfire checkpoints (they're called sites of grace in Elden Ring) that allow you to fill up on your healing and mana while simultaneously respawning the enemies, and it puts all these mechanics on an open world scale that is absolutely enormous. In order to explore the world at a decent pace you're given a horse soon after completing the tutorial area. This changes the way you play the game in many ways since fighting while on the horse is a more than viable option in a lot of scenarios even in it does take some getting used to. Do keep in mind though that there are some areas in which you can't use the horse, but that's ok because it's typically in areas that you wouldn't want to use it anyways.

    Elden Ring also has countless builds, weapons, armor, and abilities that allow you to play the game in so many ways that you probably won't get to use everything for a very long time which makes it great for replay value.

    One final thing to note about this game as well as the other games in the souls genre is that they are not easy in the beginning. These games are notorious for their difficulty which is true to an extent. If you are unwilling to learn from your mistakes and adapt then this game will probably be too much for you to handle. It will test your patience and awareness early on and if you are willing to get better, it will only be a matter of time before you're taking down the baddest of bosses and wondering why you ever thought things were difficult in the first place. I will have a section at the bottom that will include ways to get better if you're struggling so be sure to read that.

    IN RESPONSE TO NEGATIVE REVIEWS AND FRUSTRATED PLAYERS:

    I felt like making this section in hopes that new players and people who are giving up on the game early can read this. Elden Ring as well as the other games in the souls genre are not unfair, they are not impossible, and they can absolutely be mastered to a point where it's not even a challenge anymore. I see a lot of people just get mad, quit, and either stop playing entirely or write a negative review saying the game is bad when in reality it was their own fault. They were either unwilling to learn from their mistakes or the game is just not for them. Neither of which make the game bad. Here is some general advice for those of you are struggling and find the game to be too difficult:

    1. Learn an enemies moveset before going all out on attacks. If you know when an enemy's attacks/combo ends, you know when to get a free hit.

    2. Don't be greedy. Always try to get at least one-two hits in and then wait for the enemies attacks to finish.

    3. Summon help if you need it. You can either summon NPCs for certain fights, spirit ashes which let you fight with NPC mobs of your choosing, or real players.

    4. Farm runes for levels. This isn't the fun way, but every bit of extra damage helps.    … Expand

There is nothing accessible or intriguing about this game. Having played other soulslike games only makes the predictable opening and tedious slog of looping through areas again and again feel tired and stale . The combat is much worse and less responsive than in other From games I played. And I felt no sense of wonder or excitement from exploration. As for the story, after a few hours in, I really was unable to discern what GRRM had brought the table. There was nothing worth staying in this world for. I just deleted the game. Total waste of money. Can’t even get a refund because I was dumb enough to buy it from the PSN store.… Expand

    Is Elden Ring "just" an open world Dark Souls? Yes.

    First lets talk about the dungeons and castles, generally speaking the close quarter areas. They are what you would expect from a like, many different paths to choose with many different and difficult enemies inside. Just perfection. Then we have the open world. The open world is OK. It is not bad but also not great either.    Is Elden Ring "just" an open world Dark Souls? Yes.

    The open world is OK. It is not bad but also not great either.

    You have some roaming enemies, some bigger and badder than others.

    The open world might throw some souls players off because they are not used to so much freedom.

    But this is the point that makes Elden Ring good.

    You WANT to see what is behind that corner, what is inside that cave, what is over there, the freedom

    From Software has given is amazing.

    Concluding:

    Elden Ring is a good game. In some areas, just what you expect from a Souls game, the open world might throw you a bit off, but the same open world can suck you in into the world of Elden Ring    … Expand

    It's Dark Souls DNA with a truly vast and dense open world and many more options to grow your character and level your skills before diving into the deep challenges of the story. It's incredibly addictive and fun.

    The only things preventing an unabashed "10" are the performance issues on PC (my PS5 is fine) that are being actively addressed with patches as I write this.

    A solid 9/10, a bug here and there, and of course the frustration of playing fromsoft games.

    STORY:
    Unlike Dark Souls, Elden Ring has a very clear-cut story, rather than putting bits and pieces of it in dialogue and item descriptions, it very clearly tells you what's going on and why you're doing what you must.

    Unlike Dark Souls, Elden Ring has a very clear-cut story, rather than putting bits and pieces of it in dialogue and item descriptions, it very clearly tells you what's going on and why you're doing what you must.

    GRAPHICS:
    The graphics are beautiful, some of the best in a game I've seen. However, it's not game breaking like Demon Souls, and that's fine, fans of the souls series never came for the graphics, but they were always appreciated. The graphics have their good moments, and their bad ones. For example, the door to the walking mausoleum is extremely low quality, it's unsettling, but not enough to remove a point from the score. The fight against Rennala Queen of The Full Moon was gorgeous, the look of the spells is better than they've ever been.

    GAMEPLAY:
    Elden Ring rewards players for exploration, whether the reward is smithing stones for upgrades, or one of 83 bosses in the game, no matter which one however, the player is guaranteed to get an item that might be of use to them. Unlike past games, Elden Ring allows you to prepare for bosses, to come back whenever you're stronger after being defeated by a boss you weren't able to defeat, this allows the game to be either the hardest of all Fromsoftware games, or the easiest, depending on how you play.

    COMBAT:
    This will be short. The combat in Elden Ring is the basic combat we're used to in every other souls game, but better. In Dark Souls you'd typically dodge the boss waiting for an opening, then use your regular attack. However, Elden Ring has adopted the posture system from Sekiro, making heavy attacks and jumping heavy attacks used more. The bosses as I've seen are also more aggressive than previous games. You can't just go in with heavy armor and a big weapon expecting to defeat the boss easily, you have to find out their moves, see which ones give the biggest openings for attacks, and hopefully get a hit in. Torrent, the spectral steed that you get early on, also contributes much to fights. Often times you'll find yourself relying on Torrent to have an easier time with some bosses.

    PERFORMANCE:
    At launch the performance on PC was poor to say the least, which is understandable seeing as this is the first time Fromsoftware has done an open world game like Elden Ring. However, patches are being released in order to fix optimization issues. A patch was released recently which seemed to fix the issue, if not at least a little bit.

    If you're a person who's always wanted to play a game like Dark Souls but is afraid of the difficulty, now is the time to purchase Elden Ring. If you don't like it, you can always refund it on Steam.    … Expand

Elden Ring elimina los momentos más frustrantes (como patearte un cuarto de nivel cada vez que te mata el boss) y te da libertad de jugar a tu ritmo ¿El resultado? Una droga de juego del que solo quieres más y más y él te lo da.

    Es cierto que hay algún que otro problema gráfico y de rendimiento en PS5 pero me ha dado exactamente igual, además espero que se solucionen con los parches.

    Creo que la gente que lo puntúa a la baja por lo técnico es porque tienen vidas bastante pobres. OJO, hablo de la versión de PS5 que es la que he jugado, tengo entendido que la de PC va bastante peor si no tienes un PC de muy alta gama. No obstante, por eso valoro la versión de PS5.    … Expand

    Not everyone deserves to become an Elden lord, most of the people who are saying this game is too hard or unfair have grown spoiled and used to being held by and pushed through without any effort on their side.. its okay, if you dont like the game give up and make way for others... let true Elden ring players take up the position of Elden Lords.

    Habitually, I'm not a fan of open world games, but this game is perfect. You don't feel like your an errand boy, you can really take the time to admire the details of this world. Boss fights are brutal you have think and not stupidly run into the fights. Of course if you like to be taken by the hand this might not be a game for you.

    What I love about these games, is that it lets you explore the world without necessarily throwing everything in your face. It leaves a lot open for you to interpret, in the best way.

    I also love the feeling of struggling with a boss, but figuring out his pattern and moves step by step, until finally you beat him after you just feel so accomplished. Not to mention the different playstyles you can go for, the different weapons you can use and on top of that the improved magic system.

    Elden Ring definitely gets close to a 10 for me, personally, and with the fake reviews, and the pretentious people seeking attention by giving it a 0 because "it's DS3", I definitely think it deserves it.    … Expand

Every time you think you’ve discovered all of the map, or searched a dungeon, there’s always one more thing to keep you immersed into the beautifully intricate world. The soundtrack is one of the only in games i’ve played that’s made me feel a chill down my spine, and the boss themes enhance the feeling of grandness as you fight monstrosity after monstrosity. Despite its stat and inventory limitations (which isn’t a bad thing, it’s even more of an incentive to find treasure), you’re given complete freedom from the moment you step past the tutorial. There’s a main story that can be picked up and dropped at any point in the game, allowing for getting better gear or weapon upgrades, general exploration, or just taking a break to buy more supplies. Almost every aspect of this game blows me away, and i think it’s an absolute must play.… Expand

Graphics are amazing and I really wish that I could explore the world more thoroughly… but… the problem is that every corner you turn, every bend you go around, every path you travel is absolutely packed full of danger with monsters that kill you in 2 hits… everywhere! Also, when you die, the monsters that you have just slogged for ages to slowly chip away at return. If you get stuck somewhere… you’re stuck for good! It is just too hard… no difficulty settings, no save games, just essentially “checkpoints”. Booby trapped chests that transport you to death traps… I’ve been playing for two hours now and I’m literally over it. I’ve been slaughtered at least 30 times. This is not like Skyrim, Elder Scrolls, Fallout or any other MMORPG, so don’t expect to ease in. You’re literally dropped in with a crap sword and shield that do stuff all damage. Don’t think you’re just gonna waltz around picking up weapons or armour off slain monsters or defeated enemies… oh no… won’t be doing that. I was excited about this game, but no I literally hate it… I want to love it, but it is a complete downer with little fun to be had.… Expand

The story is poorly written, some things got lost in translation perhaps. There is an illusion of choice, but there's really only one choice that helps, you will be limited in what you can do in game if you make the wrong choice or until you go back and make the right choice. Your best weapon is Google and others have said, you will die constantly and stare at the loading screen. Defeating a boss feels more like a relief than a sense of accomplishment. I wish there had been a trial period because I never would have spent the time and money on this title. Skill is not as important as level and gear when it comes to defeating bosses, which encourages one to kill the same bosses over and over to level up, then take on the boss with higher gear. The graphics are pretty and that's worth two stars, watch this on Twitch for the best experience.… Expand

Unless you have endless amount of time to roam around the game and slowly but surely level your character up then this game is certainly for you! As a person who can’t and won’t spend countless hours on a video game, I find this game specifically to be increasingly harder then any of the other dark souls or any other games related to dark souls. I enjoy the mantra of feeling extremely accomplished once you defeat a hard Enemy, but this game takes it to a new level. For anyone who has not played or completed any of the dark souls games, this game will basically be unbeatable. Honestly I cant seem to understand where the 10/10 ratings came from, the graphics are sub-par and the character ability vs enemy ability is just so out of proportion. For a game that i was so unbelievably excited for, this game has ultimately let me down. I expected a sever challenge and was ready for anything this game had to offer, but after a week of being stuck in the same spot with no way to effectively progress through this spot has ultimately turned me away from this game. I congratulate and praise anyone who is skilled enough to be able to surge through the game with minimal pushback from enemies, but it seems me and MANY others do possess the skill or time needed to trek through this game effectively. In no way shape or form do I want the game to change, or have an easy mode or anything like that, i just wish there were ways to use all weapons given to you regardless of arcane level and such. The game needs to be more diversified and give you a fighting chance to be diverse in your attacks towards different enemies. A slow heavy fighter can do a lot of damage, and vise versa, but versus someone who is extremely fast with more health and more damage that you, it’s basically the same result every time. “You Died” over and over again.… Expand

    There is little to no story in this game. The world feels dead as there are hardly any friendly NPCs and every NPC exists to kill you for no reason. Hardly any A.I. Nothing new in this game.

    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.
