    13 years down the line from Demon Souls and we have pretty much been given the same game albeit is a vastly bigger world. Given that this will draw in a huge Souls fan base there really is no need for games mechanics and upgrading of character and weapons to be made so unclear for new players to the franchise. The difficulty is pretty steep from the beginning so newer players would benefit13 years down the line from Demon Souls and we have pretty much been given the same game albeit is a vastly bigger world. Given that this will draw in a huge Souls fan base there really is no need for games mechanics and upgrading of character and weapons to be made so unclear for new players to the franchise. The difficulty is pretty steep from the beginning so newer players would benefit from studying co-op options as a priority. Art direction is pretty decent but overall the graphics are just not good enough by todays standard. Having said all that I am mostly enjoying my play through and will no doubt spend hundreds of hours exploring. Good game but no I would not call this a masterpiece. DKS1 remains my favourite game of all time. Ignore the reviews giving 0 score, typical 14 year old meta critic trolls. Expand

    Elden Ring is a good game, but... The game has a big optimization problem. Looks like it's from 2017 on the graphisc. Musics bad. You should be ashamed of bluepoint. If we leave this aside there's a lot of sloppy work in the game. They enlarged a normal enemy in sekiro, bloodborne and dark souls and added it to the game as a boss. The venues were the same.

How many more times will you use Anor Londo? Even the animations are the same. Aren't you ashamed to do this? I don't understand how they give 10 to this game.

    QUANTITY OVER QUALITY
    Meme Ring, id est, Dark Souls 3 with a horse, copy paste enemies, boring cringy choir music, only 8 unique boss fights, and broken overpowered ashes of war for the CASULS.
    Carefully crafted by From Software to cater to the mindless masses who are blind sheep and bought this LIE because some overrated writers name was attached to it and who cannot see that Miyazaki

At least it has no microtransactions.
    All in all this game would have been better if some of the content was cut because if you are going to buy this prepare to fight the same copy pasted bosses over and over again. From fanbois are idiots lol.

    TLDR recap:
    - no local multiplayer (two family members would need two systems and two disks) $$$$ stupid
    - the skill level needed, constant dying, almost non-existent margin of error for the average gamer make the game WAYYYYY less fun. I didn't come here for a part time job. (and this is coming from someone who beat Targit at lvl 23 with an Astrologer) - forced into pvp just to play

    - forced into pvp just to play with friends. Stupid, lazy, and bordering on straight up jerkdom

    (1) No true local multiplayer. A family needs TWO xbox units & TWO disks to play what I should be able with one each. It borders on criminal negligence in today's game market. Period.
    (2) First From Software game. To say the survival learning curve is hideous is a laugh. You die over and over for no reason other than developers thinking it's FUN for professional people with families wanting to relax playing a video game. There's no such luck with this title. I understand learning a game and getting better skill, but there is no margin for error for simple mistakes. This is coming from someone who killed Margit at lvl 23 as an Astrologer...farmed the meteorite staff etc....I researched. I improved skill. Still the learning curve is STEEP and unnecessarily harsh. Think of the average player not the try hards or make tiers like so many other games do to fix it.
    (3) Forcing me to play multiplayer in today's gaming world when I don't want to adds to my frustration. So I have to have two systems and two disks to play the game with family already and NOW you force us to play pvp vs randoms if we try to play with help. It doesn't make the game fun for those that don't want pvp. Just stop it. It borders on being jerks to your player base. It's lazy. Make a separate pvp system without forcing us to comply with it.

    Fix these three issues and my rating goes to a 9.

    First off this games is amazing. On new-gen consoles. Nearly every aspect of the game is great even on old gen expect the graphics and stability,. Oh my god what went so wrong when optimizing the game for the Xbox one? Frames barely manage to hit 40 even on 1080p resolution.

Nearly every aspect of the game is great even on old gen expect the graphics and stability,. Oh my god what went so wrong when optimizing the game for the Xbox one? Frames barely manage to hit 40 even on 1080p resolution. This was because the game loads the shaders of an object when the user first sees them instead of loading them during the load screens, meaning the frames take a huge dip. Some times the frames can stoop as low as 10! It took me nearly 40 hours of playtime for the frames to reach a playable rate. The graphics are terrible on least gen( I don't know if that is my TV or not). Also the camera can be quite janky at times. Now for the good side of things, the combat mechanics are killer, there are so many options you can fine tune out to create your own play-style, and fromsoft has created a satisfying gameplay loop. The boss designs are unique and spectacular. The story although hard to figure out is quite amazing. And the music is awesome, the open world( on new-gen) is quite breathtaking and vast . If you are on a PC or on a new gen console I'd recommend this to you, but if you are on last gen then unless you like 35 frames at the beginning of your game don't buy this until 8 months after launch.
