The gameplay is unmatched in the gaming industry and Elden ring sets new standards again, the controls are as precise as ever. Fromsoftware has once again outdone themselves and created a revolutionary open world where exploration is truly fun. It is one of the few games that are addictive and that you just can't get enough of. I have to say though that you need to know a few things before you enter the lands between, because Fromsoftware games can be frustrating if you don't take the right approach. But once you are in the game. Then you have the fun of a lifetime and really have an experience in the gaming world that you can’t find anywhere else.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While Elden Ring is a really good game, it certainly does not warrant the perfect scores it has received.

    You’re basically playing Dark Souls 4. That’s really what it is. The lack of originality alone has to dock some points. Like I said, it’s a great game but it has issues. Not just all of the technical issues (and there are a ton) but design issues as well. Exploring is both fun and tedious. I was disappointed with the lack of content in the open world and even more disappointed in the boss fights and PVP. A few bosses were fantastic, but most were just blah. They recycle bosses a lot in this game. Definitely quantity over quality there. Combat is what you would expect from a Souls game but the one-shot deaths and overly-difficult bosses left a really bad taste in my mouth. You will need to level up your HP A LOT. As for bosses, to beat them, there are ashes and certain weapons (*cough* Carian Retaliation & Wraith Calling Bell *cough*) that will make rrally difficult fights a breeze. However, the game feels horribly unbalanced. The game can be really unnecessarily unfair but if you get the right weapons/magic, the game becomes hilariously easy. What’s good in the game is good. What’s bad is just plain bad.

    Elden Ring has so much good in it that you will be able to overlook all of the bad. Magic is definitely the way to go in this game. I’m glad Elden Ring exists and I hope they can fix the issues with the game.    … Expand

    Elden ring is a truly open ended and beautiful world with more stunning variety and play-style choice than any other Soulslike the universal difficulty system works perfectly i have found myself bashing my head against the wall of a difficult boss only to go around it and find dungeons and side bosses and items and then i return to that boss and kick its ass. the world is designed to teach you, if you are capable of listening and learning this game will hone your skill into combat supremacy without you even realizing until after you triumph.

    The world itself is also lore and story rich with exploration being reward with pieces of story, visage and character development. this game will be as good as you want it to be if you enter expecting freedom and fun you will receive that if you enter expecting combat and triumph against adversity that you will find as you improve. Elden ring is a staple of player freedom and capability, thank you from software.    … Expand

    Everything I was hoping for. Souls veterans will feel like they're coming home. Especially if they come from ds3. Newcomers might be daunted by the genre as its gameplay pattern doesn't fit the typical rpg and has a higher difficulty curve than most games. Not a game for everyone, but a perfect game for some.

They don’t realize that the difficulty of these games comes from THEM being a **** player because they were seasoned with the titles stated above, titles that reward you for being a **** player. They are not used to challenges. They want quest markers, dungeon markers, npc markers on the map. They want a difficulty setting. They don’t get what “roleplaying” means in these games. You’re not playing as some killing machine that can crush every single enemy as if they were tin cans, you’re playing as a person who seeks to be that strong one day, and you DO become that strong come late game. I hate that this game became a mountain of hype. Sorry but, the souls series doesn’t deserve this treatment. I don’t know why they decided to open it up to the general, more stupid audience. If this game had the same fanbase DS3 had at its release, I guarantee you it would’ve had a fan review score of 98-99. This game is literally the closest game we’ve had to perfect in its respective genre. Sorry for the long comment, I just felt like they didn’t do justice to this masterpiece of a video game franchise.… Expand

Yes it has some flaws like any other game but it more than makes up for them by how good the rest is.

    Negatives:
    _bosses are repeated in dungeons quite often(but they are 100% optional so no big deal).
    _A lot enemies can be found in all regions, but all open world games have this(botw has bokoblins everywhere.
    _The pc port is pretty bad, this is just an L nothing i can say about that but i have the ps5 version and i only had a framedrop after 43 hours of playing.
    _Horseback battles are not the best (they're still very awkward).
    _Keeping up with character quests is a headache, a good headache but a headache none the less.

    Positives:
    _Insane boss veriety(i think there's like 80 unique bosses).
    _The most beutiful(not the best looking graphically) i have ever seen.
    _ Absolutely enormous build options, weapon types, sorceries, incatations, jump attacks, charged attacks, parries, powerstancing(dual weilding) and finally horseback battle.
    _Amazing story telling/story line(if you are curious enough)
    _An easy mode for more casual players in the form of spirit summons, coop, npc summons and OP weapons.
    _spectacular main story bosses.
    _Many plot twists.
    _Unparalleled sense of scale.
    _Great diversity in areas.
    _Top tier music(as expected of Yuka Kitamura)
    _Chalenging for those looking for a chalenge.
    _Jumping (Praise the jumping).
    _The amazing FromSoft level design.

An example of this is guard counters. In past games, even when using great shields, you would have to dodge roll to create openings to attack, as there was no way to counter large enemies after blocking an attack. This made blocking Almost useless against larger bosses and enemies, as dodging was almost always more effective. This has been completely solved in elden ring. Performing a heavy attack after blocking an enemy strike activates a guard counter. This attack deals massive damage, as well as having a chance to break your opponents guard for a critical hit. This gives defensive players who prefer to block attacks rather than dodge a very effective way to deal damage. There are many other ways that this game expands on the souls formula (such as bow jump attacks, mounted combat, and more) but this is the best example. Elden ring has the best open world I have ever experienced. It's vibrant and full of life, with many hidden secrets and npcs to discover. The dungeons are great ways to reward exploration. With unique rewards varying from helpful spirit summons to special weapons, I always feel incenavized to explore every nook and cranny of the beautiful open world. While the graphics aren't groundbreaking, the art direction certainly is. The environments are stunning, and the enemy design is grotesque and amazing. I found myself enjoying how the world looks in elden ring much more than horizon (of which many people are comparing elden ring to) simply because of the art design and uniqeness of the landscape.

The story is the easiest-to-follow story of any FromSoft game. There are many NPC sidequests to do that make the world feel fleshed out and lived in. There are completely optional areas that make you engage with the world and figure out a way to get there and when you finally figure it out, you feel super accomplished and the game often awards your curiosity with a boss or a rare item.

If you’re going to compare it to RuneScape and complain that it isn’t exactly like RuneScape, you probably will not like it. After going through and reading some of the most positive and negative reviews out there, here’s my breakdown of who is reviewing this game:

    This is a rare exception of a game that actually meets the hype, (looking at you cyberpunk 2077, bf2042). I will very surprised if this does not get game of the year. Its sad to see people giving it 0/10 because they do not offer and English version in SEA.

    If you love the unforgiving world of dark souls this is a must.

    Mine was Dark Souls, following its' predecessor Demon souls (Widely considered a harder game). I've thought each Souls game released since has become easier in small steps and, whether this was due to my consistent meat grinder educational sessions or the actual lowering of the difficulty of their games... I'm unsure, it left me with a desire for something that gave me that same desperate, clawing feeling that the first had given me.

    This game is absolutely it.

    It seems that some might also find it "too easy" and others "too challenging", a CONSTANT discussion to be had among fans and those who hate it alike, but I think one of the most common feelings among the fanbase is the sense of ACCOMPLISHMENT. Which comes at the end of your blade, staff, depravity, cooperation... and how ever long it take you it feels great and, I feel, exponentially more so when you are punished to perfection. I have spent the lion's share of my free time over this last week delving into Elden ring, and have not felt once like I had ENOUGH time. Always wanting for more.

    This game has already sparked many, among many conversations and each of them are worth their own salt, or gold, or bin stuffing, or what ever! But one of the most common topics I see elsewise, the last I'll address in this particular review, is simply: The wrong way to play.

    Which I VERY strongly suggest would be to not play it at all.

    I hope to see you out there, Tarnished.

    -T

    EDIT: I would like to add, not wanting to risk looking like a total fan boy, that there are certainly some issues. I've been playing on PS4 and have genuinely seen no performance problems. I haven't tried it on any other platform so my review reflects my experience.

    If I had to pick something apart it would be that there seems to be some balancing needed in how runes are distributed. Sixty seconds on your preferred search engine will yield you several results as to how to grind at ludicrous rates, some not requiring any fighting even. I think this might be more a nitpick than anything since how other people enjoy a game means very little to how I enjoy it.

    Now PVP.... PVP is a whole different animal... and once I figure out how to counter the maidenless sub-tarnished that shows up into my world in only tattered sack pants, surrounds themselves in an impenetrable barrier, and spams lightening bolts I can't dodge until my squealing death... I will make them pay.    … Expand

    I am well aware of other people's gripes with the game, I am not massive souls fan but I have played each of them and quite enjoyed them. I agree with others reviews that the games reuses models, even from Dark Souls 3, that there are pop ins when you load into an area. However the main complaints seems to be that people don't know how to play a game that doesn't hold your hand.

However the main complaints seems to be that people don't know how to play a game that doesn't hold your hand.
    People who expect to be guided like a baby and told what to you, this is not the game for you. Everything is about exploration and beating a challenge, or learning when to move on and return later.

    It is true that there are NPC quests but the game doesn't mark it on the map. The NPCs will tell you or hint at what you have to do and its is up to you to figure it our or stumble on the location like I have most of the time.

    I don't really care about graphics, but the game is very beautiful. Is it Horizon levels of gorgeous, of course not, this is a game where gameplay seems to be the main focus and graphics second. Which is fine by me, as no matter how gorgeous a game may look if it sucks ass I will get bored quick.

    As far as gameplay is concerned, its very FromSoft. You can be a giant hammer wielding sorcerer, or a shield only lightning faith build, or a dual wielding katana, one dealing bleeding damage and another poison, a fire wielding double lance user who throws holy dame when two handing. There are many ways to play the game and yes unlike other soul games, you can respec.

    Don't let salty reviewers who don't know how to read or have no patience tell you what to do or think, but do keep this in mind. If you have no patience and don't like dying over and over, need to told what to do to enjoy a game then this is definitely not for you.

    Regarding story, it is fine. Its not as hidden or confusing as in Dark Souls or Bloodborne. I understood the overall plot, the smaller details I will learn through VaatiVidya, as will most likely all of use giving a high score, like I said above FromSoftware games aren't loved by their story but its gameplay.

    If there is one issue I do have with the game, is the NPC quest component. Unlike previous games this world is huge, having at least a journal in game with the last conversation has with each NPC would be good enough for me. On the other hand, I'm going old school keeping a journal myself with areas and NPC met, its pretty fun and I've never been much of a notetaker.    … Expand

    Easily the best game I've played in years, and almost certainly the best game that From Software has ever made. Elden Ring is a game that respects the player's intelligence and curiosity.

    Unlike so many recent open-world games, it won't lead you by the hand and tell you where to go at every turn. You have the freedom to travel to every castle or mountain you see in the distance, and    Easily the best game I've played in years, and almost certainly the best game that From Software has ever made. Elden Ring is a game that respects the player's intelligence and curiosity.

    Unlike so many recent open-world games, it won't lead you by the hand and tell you where to go at every turn. You have the freedom to travel to every castle or mountain you see in the distance, and it's up to you to figure out how to get there, and get past any obstacles in your way. There's no easy mode, but there are plenty of tools to make the game easier if you're willing to explore and experiment, and of course you can always practice until you git gud. Parts of it may be frustrating to new players, but the reward is some truly amazing vistas and some of the most amazing boss fights in any game, ever.

    The world is rich and detailed, and there's tons of lore, but the story is mostly kept in the background to keep the focus on combat and exploration. There aren't hours of drawn-out cutscenes with characters endlessly yapping on. There are characters who you'll meet on your journeys, but almost all of the time you're adventuring on your own, charting your own path forward, with little to guide you except the towering landmarks in the horizon.

    The combat will feel familiar to Souls veterans, but there are some small additions to the combat to make things a bit more dynamic, like a block counter move that's like an alternate way to parry. Spirit ashes let you summon a wide variety of creatures into boss fights, which can range from mild distractions to truly overpowered beasts. The mounted combat is surprisingly good, and you're even given the option to fight many boss fights either mounted or on foot, and I found myself preferring to fight mounted against many bosses. The main fights are all truly epic, and normal enemy encounters manage to be just as dynamic and challenging.

    There are downsides to the Souls games going open-world. While the main "legacy" dungeons are all amazing, there are smaller optional dungeons tucked away in the form of catacombs, forts, mines and caves. While some of them have interesting level design and bosses, some of them feel phoned-in, a bit like Bloodborne's automatically-generated Chalice Dungeons. There are also repeated overworld mini-boss fights, like the Dragons, Erdwood Tree Avatars, and Night Riders. While they were all engaging boss fights, especially on horseback, fighting 6-7 variations on each with only minor differences does get a bit repetitive, but they're all purely optional.

    Elden Ring can be an absolutely gorgeous game to look at. The game isn't cutting-edge visually, and in certain places you're reminded that it's still running on some of the same engine FromSoft has used for over a decade, but the beautiful vistas make up for all of it. At it's best the game looks like a concept art painting come to life, and even if every last tooth doesn't have a million polygons, the artistry that goes into the world and character design is as good as anything out there. I recommend playing with HDR if you can (which goes for pretty much all games that support it, but still.)

    While the game's freedom of exploration is mostly a positive, sometimes it does get a bit too vague for it's own good. The lack of a quest log is usually fine, but can sometimes be a bit frustrating, and you can miss whole questlines if you miss a vague hint or don't stumble on the right shack. It's not a game where you're really intended to experience everything in a single playthrough, but it can still be a bit annoying to miss a whole questline by mistake. As I got further into the game I did find myself looking things up more and more often, which took me out of the game somewhat, although I still prefer it to the game hand-feeding me everything.

    Even with those flaws, Elden Ring is an incredible experience. At it's best, it really feels like you're a lone explorer a hostile, mysterious world. At it's worst, you're potentially dealing with hours of frustration and yank. But for me, the lows only serve to enhance the highs, and the end result is one of the most engrossing games ever.    … Expand

    One of the best games I have ever played. I'm 70 hours in and I cant recommend it enough. Sure, the first couple of hours was a bit slow, since you dont really know where you should go, but soon you understand where to gi and what to do. The difficulty is hard, but not brutally hard, most of the game is easier than DS and Sekiro. If you dont like DS you wont like this game, but if you loveOne of the best games I have ever played.

If you dont like DS you wont like this game, but if you love DS you Will have an absolute blast playing this game! The map is huge, theres so many different enemies, caves, bosses and so on. Doesnt matter which way you travel, you Will find something interesting there! If 11/10 was an option, this game would have earned it. Game of the Year without a doubt.

    Edit: I have played over 300 hours and completed the game 3 times. And it Just keeps on getting better and better! Btw my "game of the year guaranteed" statement aged well dont you think?    … 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.
