    Recomiendo encarecidamente la versión de ps5 o pc. La versión de Xbox serie x está bien, pero tiene una carga más lenta, una velocidad de fotogramas y gráficos más bajos, además hay muchas quejas sobre la carga de datos que a veces tienes que eliminar y comenzar de nuevo.

    If you activate multiplayer features in this game you also get the invasion system which is nothing but a feast for grievers and can‘t be deactivated. Which makes it impossible to play a relaxed coop session. If you don‘t care it might be a great game.

Stupid texts on the ground, i mean, they are really stupid, and with zero point. Im really dissapointed, gameplay is boring. Story even more. At least we know which company pays for good reviews.

    A wildly overrated game. Dated visuals, surprisingly poor performance, sluggish controls, and a played out dark fantasy setting, this is not a 10/10 game far from it. Feels like a game from ten years ago. Far from cutting edge in terms of mechanics or visuals. Combine that with an already toxic fan community and you have a game you're better off avoiding.

    Story is virtually non-existent they were happier than hell to plug George R R Martin's name all over the marketing materials, but I'm not sure what he did. About as much work as he does on his own series I'd surmise, which is NOTHING. You get what amounts to lore dumps on scrolls and flavor text on items passing as a "story." There's no major narrative structure.

    The "revolutionary" open world is hollow, lifeless, and boring. I've seen more intriguing open worlds in PS3 games. Speaking of PS3 games that's basically what you're getting here in the visuals department. I guess the AAA industry is so exhausted from bribing publishers and youtubers to give them good scores they don't even bother with the graphics anymore. Art direction is however stunning, seems to be where they spent most of their time.

    Gameplay is seriously bogged down by numerous bugs and technical issues. Frame rate drops, save crashing, stuttering, janky animations, clipping errors, you name it this game has it. I guess all the 10/10 reviews are based on where the game will be in 2 years once they fix the bugs? That's some optimism for you!

    To start with, this game probably deserves higher than the rating I am giving it but in the light of biased rave reviews the game has received (which would not be accepted by those reviewers unfortunately), I will also provide a biased review according to me personal taste.

    Elden Ring is a dated looking poorly optimized game with interesting and fleshed out character build and combat mechanics that only seems to serve the niche of gamers who like the soulslike formula. I believe this game having a rave metacritic would falsely give the impression that it's appealing for masses of casual gamers hence my review.

    As a fan of open world RPG genre carrying many other responsibilities which obliges me to not be able to spare extended stretches of time or entirety of my intellectual capacity to a video game, I found this game to be a poor experience.

    There are a few critical points Elden Ring ignores whether it's intentional or not. Game experience is very unguided. You will likely have bad time figuring out how to progress the story or even what the story is, and consequently you will find yourself wandering around weak mobs in a monotone routine if you don't enjoy that kind of tedious exploration. World is quiet desolate and falls into pitfalls Ubisoft RPGs are prevalently considered to fall into while having no cities or areas bustling with energy many other RPGs offer.

    Accessibility is very poor. Bosses are quiet challenging to the extent that even an experienced gamer who just doesn't have experience with genre will have nightmare time unless one enjoys attempting a single boss fight for more than a dozen time especially given that there are often no tooltips or guidance on how to make certain fights easier given lack of difficulty options for user to choose. This often requires player to memorize move set of the boss while dying numerous times where poor optimization causes big problems as frame drops hinder the application of this memorization as well. This is in addition to the fact that game requires almost impeccable gaming reflexes to apply any of the move set memorization to an efficient enough degree to win these fights.

    Overall, I can see the attraction of this game for the fans of this genre but it is not a game that deserves the acclaim reserved for experiences that can be enjoyed by majority of the overall open world RPG genre like the Witcher 3 or Red Dead Redemption 2 do deserve.    … Expand

    I looked forward to this game for years, but the late game bosses just make it completely unenjoyable. It feels like beating them has nothing to do with skill or learning, but just dumb luck. It feels like From needs to recalibrate their expectations for boss design. I'll probably just play the first 70% of the game or so going forward, but I'm not even sure if I'll stick around for that.

To put it simply: if you don’t like dark souls or fromsoftware’s previous titles, stay away from this. It’s more of the same. There is nothing new here, other than an expanded map you can move through freely.

    Optimization is too vicious.
    I7 10700K + RTX 2070 SUPER.
    When I fight with the boss, I don't get 60FPS.
    It's really a tremendous optimization.
    I can't believe it's a 2022 game.
    I don't support 21:9 monitors and 144Hz!
    The server has many errors.
    Multi-play is often disconnected!

    I've registered on MetaCritic only to give a fair review for PC version. This game is so bad. An indie game with such basic issues would receive 0 points, so this is how much I give it. Bad controls, outdated graphics, input delays. Lacks concealed as "being hard to play", and strangely high critics reviews.

    I swear the developer must have paid off the critics to give them 10 out of 10 across the board. This is not a 10 out of 10 game. I probably would have been more generous in my review if the reviews of this game were honest. It's at best a 7 out of 10 game. But the hype surrounding this game has made the critics and whole gaming community lose their collective minds. Don't drink the Cool-aid.

    Elden Ring punishes you in more ways than just charging you $70, by giving you re-used Bosses, lots of dead ends, terrible game logic, zero fun, and a broken controller. Its mainly the terrible boss design, I get killed at full health in two hits while taking 30 minutes to recover from the last attack! And to just arrive at the boss fight, you have to deal with a plethora of nuisances that deal unreasonable amounts of damage. And by late game, you can only really level up your character and weapons by killing the bosses that kill you in less that 10 seconds. What really aggravated me and lots of other Elden Ring players was the Godskin Duo, the most annoying boss in the entire game. They are near impossible to fight without dying immediately. I know Elden Ring has one of the largest and most detailed maps, good graphics, and is a great challenge, but it all comes down to how much fun and joy you can have. There is no fun and joy in this. Zero. It is mentally draining to play. You should only buy Elden Ring if you an absurd amount of time on your hands and if you hate yourself.    … Expand

So why is it needed at all, will it be fixed? Clean up bugs, right?And after all, the problems that I indicated above exist in many games that came out, but for some reason, the pancake "master's creation" scored 97 on metacritic, what did it deserve? The only thing to praise the game for is the visual, everything is half of the game, and most of it just migrated from other games in the series, including enemies and bosses with slightly changed textures ("Schaub is not exactly the same" and some still scold ubisoft for monotony, seriously ?). So do you really need such a game with twisted boss stats, so that when you get 10-15 deaths, you go back to farm souls in the previous locations?In my opinion, this is **** I did not pay for the game, I confess, but I always do this, first the torrent if I feel that the game is worth it, I buy it. And this creation causes the most ambiguous feelings. So no, until they fix it, I see no reason to take it.… Expand

    Fanboy fodder. Games that do not have a save-on-demand feature are by the very definition, insane. Why would anyone want to traipse across a vast world, with little to no help against enemies that are way too difficult and not scaled? I am incredibly biased because I hated Dark Souls.

    Despite some annoying performance issues, Elden Ring is a masterpiece. The combat, enemy variety, exploration, music, and open world are top notch. I’ve been playing it daily across all platforms alongside other games all month, and look forward to doing that all year as I try new builds, help friends, and try to do everything I want in this triumph of a video game.

    Elden Ring rewards your curiosity in many ways, be it items, runes or a pathway to another area, but mostly it’s a story to tell your friends when you are sharing tales around the bonfire. It does not force feed tutorials down your throat, but instead it leans far the opposite way by not telling you much at all and lets you explore and find things out on your own. There is no true quest log, no points of interest on a map or no arrows pointing you in the right direction, so there is a good chance you’ll miss some of the best caves and areas of the game. Because of all of this, Elden Ring is forcing me to find all of that out on my own and it is one of the most rewarding games I have ever played. I will continue to explore the Land Between for many hours to come. I’m just not in a hurry.

    Elden Ring manages to draw the player into a fascinating world for many hours, with refined gameplay that fits perfectly with the freedom granted to the player. A sumptuous but imperfect work, which fails to completely overcome some of the historical flaws of Hidetaka Miyazaki's productions. Flaws that, however, can't diminish the scope of a masterpiece destined to leave an indelible mark on the videogame world and to set new standards for the souls-like and open-world genres.
