    This game is the best game I have played so far. Everything is perfectly done. The open world is excellent and better than any other game. The lore story is perfect. The game play is fantastic. I have played for over 200 hours and can't stop.

    Un perfecto Dark Souls en mundo abierto. El Lore es espectacular, acompañado de una banda sonora perfecta y muchos bosses. En cuanto a la dificultad, depende de cómo armes a tu personaje y de lo que farmees.

    It goes down to preference in some cases such as boss OSTs, but this game is otherwise better than any other souls game in almost every way.
    This is one of those games that feels you with extreme joy of how good it's made. The invasions are a bit messed up because of exploits people currently do; other than that, GOD TIER game. Thank you, Miyazaki!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After the hell of Sekiro. I asked for a new Dark Souls. And they gave us what we wanted. An open world Dark Souls.
    Because it is the same game. They added some new things like the horse, jump, items, skills, etc but not so different like Sekiro and Bloodborne.
    Now talking about my gameplay. I didnt found the tutorial. Thats the worst way to start. After dying againts the Tree Sentinel, I followed the direction of the grace and killed Margit (first boss kill). Then I went to explore the map. And I found out I was playing horrible.
    Since I dont look for guides I didnt know where to go. Some enemies were easy but other were hard and this happens a lot.
    So, I did Limgrave, then Liurnia, then... oh no I did Al tus Plateau, and I killed Morgot. All before Radan because i though Caelid was a more difficult zone.
    Well, failing a lot of quest because of wrong paths. I managed to did some good quest in perfect order. And I am talking the hardest one, Ranni. Incredible to get an alternative final without a guide.
    But other quest were really bad because I.. killed them. Boggart was a thief, Hyetta was eating eyeballs, and Fia asked me to do it. In Fia and Boggart I lost something very useful but Hyetta give me what a iwanted the blood of maiden. I see this like a punish when the other games there was a reward for killing a villain character.
    About some ways to unlock zones. It sucks. It is very hard to do some of them even if they have two ways to do it.
    Anyway the bosses are beautiful. The big bosses are a very good experience. But when they bring them back it makes them mini-bosses is boring. And after dying 21 times againts Margit, the second one was Malenia with 15. The next ones are down 5. So I got a strong character (no mage) without knowing.
    I enjoyed this game a lot. Thanks From Software.    … Expand

    One of the best gaming experiences of my lifetime. Yes, there are flaws as with all games such as reused enemies. But what else can you expect out of a world this massive? And they managed to include massive unique dungeons and areas that are so enthralling, the repeated side content was almost a footnote. Masterpiece.

    Absolutely amazing game in so many aspects. Three things prevent it from reaching a perfect score:

    - Barebones story
    - Forgettable characters
    - Essentially forcing you to google stuff because the game can't be arsed to even give you a clue as to how you should proceed a questline (if you're playing in offline mode)

    Other than that, it's an absolutely amazing experience in every regard.

My biggest problem with most open-world games is that the combat becomes face-roll after the first 1/2 of the game. Although not perfect, Elden Ring's combat balance is far more tuned, and even at the very end, the player will encounter the most difficult challenges in the game.

    There are some annoyances. Portals that can teleport you to other side of map. Once was cute. After that It became obnoxious. The game is almost too much. Too much Dark Souls if that is possible. FromSoft threw in the kitchen sink with this one.    … Expand

Eventually you will become powerful. Even though I didn’t play the other games from this developer, I want to now, as I was sucked into the exploration, loot, character leveling, and getting good in the combat. One of the things I like about Returnal was the thrill that I could be killed at any moment. Elden Ring brings that thrill as well, and its refreshing because I was really only getting exciting thrills and emotion from online multiplayer games. As much as I love games like Spider-Man, God of War, Horizon, I never felt like I was going to have to overcome a challenge or walk into an area and be dead seconds later in those games. Returnal and now Elden Ring have been a breath of fresh air. They get me close to the thrill of a Destiny raid or an intense FPS online match, but in a single player game. Elden Ring does have multiplayer and it is easy to ignore if you want. My 10/10 is for the single player. I played the game solo and it’s one of my favorites of all time.

    I did not have any performance issues on PS5. If you are on the fence at least pick it up on sale, give it a chance to see if this type of game appeals to you. If you liked other games from this developer, this one is a no brainer.    … Expand

    FromSoftware is a very unique developer that has always walked a narrow path, and as we can see today, gamers have always loved it. Although I never made it through any of the other games they have done, I am finding Elden Ring quite refreshing. The game doesn't hold your hand or tell you where to go. You have to figure out this all by yourself, and that is indeed a big strength.

    A great game, the sum of everything FROM SOFTWARE has been built until now in a gigantic open world with original and intriguing lore.
    It is, however, filled with repeated bosses, and weapons and abilities that make the game too much easy and invasions just annoying. In comparison, Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro are still much better games.

Este difícil soulslike ha sido toda una experiencia y me ha marcado personalmente. Con un mundo abierto absurdamente grande, y multitud de ciudades, mazmorras y enemigos distintos han conseguido una inmersión, una libertad y una cantidad de cosas por hacer que resulta en un juego muy extenso y completo. El mapa está muy cuidado y repleto de detalles y cada cosa en el mundo tiene su propósito y contexto dentro del mismo. La historia dentro del mundo y todo lo que lo rodea rebosa de creatividad y posee una complejidad y un tacto excelentes, con personajes memorables y arcos de personajes con muy buenos argumentos. En cambio, para entender todo lo que rodea las Tierras Intermedias hay que leerse la descripción de todos los objetos y enlazar muchas historias, lo que hace muy difícil de entender la historia si no es con un vídeo explicativo; al igual que con la mayoría de misiones secundarias, que aunque son interesantes son muy difíciles de terminar ya que no hay nada que te indique los pasos a seguir. La jugabilidad ha obtenido la perfección dentro de la saga, siendo muy fluida, completa y llena de posibilidades con las distintas armas y hechizos de los que dispones. Los distintos enemigos y jefes gozan de una gran personalidad y puesta en escena y generalmente un set de movimientos muy variado, siendo algunos de ellos icónicos e inolvidables. Entrando en el apartado audiovisual, el mejorable apartado técnico ha ido puliéndose conforme ha avanzado el tiempo y, aunque sigue sin ser perfecto, existiendo aún realentizaciones y pop in, está mucho mejor que en su salida. Lo que sí que me parece magistral es el apartado artístico, dotando al mundo de un arte onírico del que pocos juegos han conseguido hacer gala. Al mismo nivel no está el apartado sonoro, que me ha decepcionado para lo que me esperaba, al igual que la banda sonora, ya que, sin ser mala, habiendo visto los otros trabajos del estudio me esperaba algo más memorable. Como último y más notorio punto negativo debo mencionar la repetición de enemigos y jefes a lo largo del juego, ya que para cubrir todo el terreno han tenido que repetir innumerables veces los mismos, algo que hubiera preferido que quitasen y redujesen el tamaño del mapa. A pesar de ello, en mi opinión Elden Ring es un juegazo y será recordado como uno de los mejores juegos de mundo abierto de la historia y lo recomiendo a todos quienes quieran jugar un juego desafiante.9,4/10

The game respects your intelligence, dropping you off in a world with no guide, allowing you to explore and make your own path. I'm sure everyone's experience is different. I couldn't believe how big the map is, it just opens up more and more as you go along. This also features some of the most exhilarating boss fights I've played, and the forgiving placement of grace sites allows you to keep trying without having to run through a portion of a castle, fighting enemies, and losing your health before you even get to the boss again.

    The story line is a little obtuse, you'd definitely need to do some extra homework to fully grasp all the things at play here, but it's all secondary. What comes first is the art design, atmosphere, and addictive gameplay.    … Expand

The first 6 hours were tough but vital for the rest of my adventure in the lands between. I died many times and didn’t gain any runes but I did enjoy the exploration and eventually I gained the satisfaction of killing a boss and some difficult enemies. After these 6 hours I experienced without doubt the greatest game I have ever played (2nd isn’t even close by the way). I’ve spent around 160 hours in the game and will be completing multiple playthroughs. Fantastic world design, exploration, multiple armor sets, weapons, skills, varied enemy design and some fantastic boss fights. My warning to new players is the game does not hold your hand and will not give you a clear path. You will have to explore and pay attention to the the dialogue for little clues and lore. If side quests interest you then you will need a guide. Some of the side quests are excellent and full of lore but easy to fail or get lost. I know some won’t like doing this but the lore, boss fights and rewards make it worth doing. I’m at the end of my first playthrough and have just defeated the hardest boss (optional) and already planning my next one. 10/10 Insane rating… Expand

    It is still challenging, but I really enjoy that if something is way too hard at the moment, you can just do something else.

    This way the game is far less frustrating and repetitive.

    Exploration is rewarding, this is the first FS game shere I really discover every nook and cranny of fhe map.

    One thing I still cannot get used to is the style of storytelling. Especially in the terms of very obscure story events. Talk 3 times to an NPC to unlock. A dialogue option, do things in weird soecific order, otherwise the NPC dies, etc.

    I am not saying it is bad, it's just not my cup of tea.

    But all in all it is a very solid game, I really like thay you can approach battles with different tactics. Mounted or on foot, using summons, spirits, etc. It give real variety, if something is not working, you can actually change tactics.

    After about 120hrs, Elden Ring is definitely good, but I’d hardly call it revolutionary. Either soulsbourne games are for you or they aren’t, so I think it’s unfair for anyone to rate this game based on just being in that genre with its tropes of difficulty and all that (which seems to be precisely what’s happening).

So aside from that this game has benefited from From Soft’s reputation and critical praise.

    I heard a lot of praise about how this game has changed open world games forever and raised the bar. Don’t get me wrong, Elden Ring is good, but I can’t for the life of me imagine what everyone thinks is new here? Or maybe not new but far better than any other game has done it? It definitely meets the bar, but I think it’s a stretch to say it sets it. In that regard, I’m not a fan of the omission of some basic open world elements (like a quest log). Even this sort of thing has received praise—which again I don’t think would have happened if it wasn’t a From game.

    It’s definitely a good game, but if you’re not already a superfan of the developer then I wouldn’t go into it expecting it to be this life-changing experience it’s been built up to be. It took me well over 30 hrs to get into it *at all*, and even then I never had an “oh wow, this is awesome” moment with it. But plenty of “ah this is interesting; let’s check this out.”    … Expand

The game doesn't hold your hand. It vaguely tells you where to go next. There are clues spread around the map randomly about interesting places. Exploration is nearly always worthwhile. As for the "soulsborne" aspect, combat is solid and more forgiving then in past titles. I love being able to refill flasks from certain mobs or clearing out packs of mobs. Co-op is the easiest it has been in a From Soft title ever. My only real negative and it isn't huge is the lack of haptic usage for the PS5 Dual Sense controller. Sure it vibrates, but really want to use the controller to it's fullest. Hopefully a patch will fix that.… Expand

I play only as single player, which which probably makes things harder than they should be. As a coop game I expect some of the boss fights would be a lot more fun. If there’s a story somewhere in the game I must have missed it, maybe will still find it; like how I missed tutorial on the basics only to realize it after finding it on YouTube. Probably none of this is an issue for anyone familiar with Dark Souls games. Still I’ve logged over 40 hours so far and will likely get my money out of this game by the time I’m done, even if I don’t complete it.

This game is so insanely massive while also rewarding you the more you look, so the world feels far from empty. 9/10 if you see something and think “I wonder if that leads somewhere/does something” it does and it will.

    Combat, like all fromsoft, titles is fantastic. When you combine ashes of war with the new crafting system or countless spells/items you have a lot of opportunity to create really unique combinations. While bosses can feel unfair the first time you fight them they NEVER are, they’re balanced perfectly so when you defeat them you actually feel like you’ve accomplished something. Also, you can just go and do any dungeon or explore completely (ridiculously large) optional places to build xp and make any fight easier.

    The world design is fantastic. The map gives you clues as to the direction to go in order to get to an important boss or follow the main path but other than that you are left on your own to find the way. And god how refreshing it is to not have your hand held every single step of the way and to actually just figure it out for yourself.

    I’ve seen users complaining about performance issues but I haven’t had any so far, no crashes or obvious frame drops (PS5). I’ve also seen users complaining about graphics which I really don’t understand because it has great graphics, just not “next-gen”. But, for me, artistic design will always have more impact than graphical fidelity.

    I don’t want to talk much about the story yet as I’m still putting all of it together and I don’t want to spoil anything but I’ll just conclude this by saying this: this is my favorite video game ever, and I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface.    … Expand

The amount of content and its density is great. Every corner of the world (and under-world) map hides a new challenge and a new mystery to resolve. The art direction and lore is brilliant and we have to thank not only H. Miyazaki but also the American writer George R.R. Martin. I also recommend this game to fans of Shadow of the Colossus since in some zones you are going to experience similar feelings. As you can imagine from my previous statements the gameplay is the culmination of souls-like and the definition of a well-made, deep and articulated combat system that barely any videogame has. The game has some clear problems like the recycle of assets and some technical issue but if you overcome this minor issues and let the world of The Lands Between steal your attention you will be rewarded.… 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.
