    For me this game is amazing, the atmosphere for this game kept me in awe throughout most of the game, and althought fromsoft kept the games difficulty hard, they added multiple classes so people can pick a class they are most comfortable with, which in my opinion, makes the player have a lot more choice in this than other fromsoft games.

Now, I understand poeple will not dig the "git good" part of the souls community, but in this part, after seeing how bad kids put a 1 or a 0 just cause they are new or dont understand the games mechanics, is just unfair. This game brings all the best from all fromsoftware games, even Sekiro, to build up the best game you can ask for. THERE IS A REASON but Souls games are not for everyone, the game doesn´t hold your hand, doesn´t babysit you, it challenges you, it brings the best of you, not everyone are truly comfortable with this kind of liberty, many need a hand on their shoulders. PC seems to have some problems, but honestly Im runing it without problems on a notebook, so is your desktop hardware problem, dont blame the game that bad. Expand

    Nostalgia. It's big business now. Seems like everyone is cashing in on 80's and 90's kids childhoods. But why? Why are people willing to pay money for something old and possibly obsolete? The simple answer is bliss. That exhilaration of feeling something new, The unlimited Thrill of receiving a reword for achieving what felt like an imposable goal that only a child can know. The first timeNostalgia. It's big business now. Seems like everyone is cashing in on 80's and 90's kids childhoods. But why? Why are people willing to pay money for something old and possibly obsolete? The simple answer is bliss. That exhilaration of feeling something new, The unlimited Thrill of receiving a reword for achieving what felt like an imposable goal that only a child can know. The first time you were excited and scared at the same time, The friendships...friendships before drama, when the only thing required to be friends was that you were all young and ignorant of an adult world. As we know being an adult isn't nearly as exciting and is rarely fun. So of course people (like me) in there 30's 40's and 50's will pay cash for a chance at feeling that bliss, if only for a single second, if only one more time.

    Video games were my very first love. Karate Kid on the NES is the first game I remember playing. And it called to me. The colors racing by, the thrill of surviving one more screen as I scrolled right kicking and punching. Then at the local arcade it was WWF Wrestlefest and Afterburner that gave me that same thrill, That sense of pure bliss. Other games made me feel that way over the years. But it came fewer and farther between as I got older. And it wasn't just games feel this way. It was going to a new friends house for the first time, playing in a construction area at night, riding my first wheelie on my bike, my first ollie, exploring abandoned houses with my friends. when we were kids it was pure bliss all the time.

    As life carries on, there are still wonders. the first time being intimate with someone, falling in love, your first promotion at work. But for most of us our day to day life's have become the status quo, go to work, be a good parent, and a good spouse. But no matter how good your life turns out, for a lot of us there will always be a longing for that bliss. That feeling of discovery we had so many years ago.

    Eldon Ring absolutely makes me feel that way again. I cant exactly say why. I never liked any of the other games made by FROM software. In fact I disliked them. But this game has kept me on the edge of my seat for the 30 hours I've put into it. I'm glued to my TV in a way that I haven't been for years. My heart races, and my adrenaline has been off the charts! Not just the game either, I've had my laptop In front of me the whole time, on forums, wiki's, and watching YouTube videos. Its the most "fun" I've had as long as I can remember. Around every corner is something new and exciting, every cave, Ruin, or castle is just absolutely filled with discovery. The constant fear of losing your progressions is ever looming giving this game that fear and excitement feeling from my youth. There is nothing like discovering an area with no messages anywhere and knowing you might be the first player to ever find this place. It's constant exhilaration.

    I could get into the mechanics, the graphics, what features the game has or lacks. But I wont. I could talk about the length of the game. But I also wont, Because for me it doesn't matter. Im 30 hours in and if the game ended now, or lasted another 100 hours I would consider it the greatest game ever made. What I do care about is how this game makes me feel. And it makes me feel like a kid again. Not for a second, but for hours. I never thought I would feel these kinds of emotions again. And for that I am so thankful.

    I usually dont write reviews, But I had to let someone somewhere know how amazing this game is. In my opinion this game is without a doubt the G.O.A.T..

I went into this game with an open mind and loved it. this game is blowing my mind. plus I play on the series s and the game looks insane. I wish more people would give this game a try and not hate on it to be different. just because you can kill one boss come back later when you get some runes and levels. trust me it helps a lot. can someone tell me how this game looks like dark souls 3 a game that was gray and brown everywhere; this game look nothing like that not even close.

This will come across as frustrating for some, but that's what it's intended to be. The open-world nature of the Lands Bettwen is majestic in even the most colorless regions. One of the main reasons I found Sekiro to be boring is that all locations had the same feel. Most of the enemies were natural and earthly, looking to be rememberable. Elden RIng is everything I was hoping for in a From game. And if I could give a more accurate rating, I would give this a 9.9 because Elden RIng, in my eye, is flawless in world-building and charter design. I have one major criticism of the game, and I admit it is quite a funny criticism. In my eye, it has one of the worst opening theme songs in any of the From games. But besides that main criticism, this game is flawless and my pick for a possible match of the year. Expand

    I'll give it a ten once the game is well optimized, because I prefer smooth 60 fps gameplay without ray tracing and no 4K to 30 fps and 4K gameplay. The performance mode needs to be reviewed, you can do without a drop in resolution or detail to have a game at 60 fps anyway, make an effort for the performance mode.

    I liked the previous souls games and this one is the best so far. The world is fun to explore and looks great. The difficulty seems a bit more doable and bosses are varied. Definitely check this out if you like other from software games but this will probably not change you didn’t like previous instances.

    The only time I've ever even considered giving a game a perfect 10/10. The perfect mix of exploration, challenge, Boss Fights, Lore, amazing sound and music and Out-right fun.

    This game is not for people who want their hands held, or are hell bent on a linear game play style. Don't go into this if you're expecting another Skyrim, it will teach you a brutal lesson, that only gets more

    This game is not for people who want their hands held, or are hell bent on a linear game play style. Don't go into this if you're expecting another Skyrim, it will teach you a brutal lesson, that only gets more and more brutal, as seen by many reviews. Just scroll through and most scores under 9 will be complaining about a lack of direction, or too much difficulty in a game that's about discovery and choreography, more than it is grinding to be over-leveled, which seems to be something people can't understand, very curious.

    The game that breaks the mold and managed to create what i believe is the greatest souls game, and perhaps one of the greatest games of all time! In this case, most bad reviews can be seen as a good way to feel better about your own gameplay experience!

Customization is fantastic, you can select from many builds such as a glass cannon mage, a tanky knight or an adept bandit and that can be changed and reformed throughout the game. Elden Ring is the first FROM SOFTWARE game that I have played and it is excellent for beginners of the Souls sub-genre of games. There is lots of mechanics that make this game easier for newcomers but they can also be ignored if you want a greater challenge. This game is quite difficult but it rarely becomes grindy and repetitive.

Well that’s because to expect this game to be different than the other Fromsoft games is ignorant at best, It takes what works from the rest of their work and finally starts to trim away from the fat that made prior games more like exclusionary niche titles and opened the genre to be much more accessible. The game never seems to stop opening up into new areas to explore and when played alongside friends has created a gaming experience I’ve found lacking in the industry for a longerg time. The open world allows for moving around and away from moments that served as roadblocks in prior titles. Can’t beat that boss? No problem, just go level up or try out a new weapon set up and come back. No more banging your head against the wall as you do the same fight for the 50th time. You can go at your own place and there is more variety to the game than just big sword smash and roll. And while the graphics are far from cutting edge, the game reminded me how little that matters in a game. Thanks for the stories Fromsoft, can’t wait to see what’s next. Expand

    If you’re a fan of high fantasy, open world rpgs and the soulsbourne genre, then this is the game of your dreams. The world & character design is amazing. The scale of the world, the density, the verticality are incredible. There’s nothing else like it. Ignore the trolls reviews binging this game, it’s a masterpiece.

It is really fun to just explore around conquering bosses as you come across them. There are hidden secrets everywhere, it doesn't feel like any of the space is wasted like in so many open world games. It does have some problems though. The first problem is that there is no quest interface whatsoever. There are certainly quests, just no way to keep track of them without doing it manually (eg. pen and paper) or the more realistic solution: just google everything. The 2nd big issue is that co-op is just backwards. With most games with jump-in co-op you would ask for help, and people answer. In this game, people have to volunteer to help and then wait around for someone to ask for it. If you want to just co-op the entire game with friends, well you can't, it doesn't work that way. Co-op ends as soon as a player dies or a boss does and you have to set it up all over again. Definitely could have been done better. Expand

I don’t have to spend half my time playing the game picking up materials (Horizon forbidden west). I find a map and I look at it. I see something on the map that looks interesting and I go there. I get a boss fight and badass loot. This is what a Medieval style game should be like. It’s challenging. It’s a long game if you play it that way. It’s not filled with BS to have bragging rights that it takes X time to complete it. It’s An amazing experience. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this game to anyone who isn’t easily frustrated. Lol. Game on.

    Su manejo es sobresaliente, su ambientación, música y sonido ambiental es top para mí. Deseando sentarme frente a mi Series S para seguir avanzando y descubriendo

You get a Trophe by beating the game on a base difficulty that ships with game or you can buy the trophe for a doller and yhey give you a game breaking weapon. The point is you ether have the skill to win or admit you cant do it and have a mark that shows it. If your not haveing fun why are you playing after you desided the game isnt to your taste?

El gameplay evoluciona, la forma de contar la historia es igual pero quizas algo mas sencilla de seguir que en los souls (aunque bastante menos que en Sekiro). Como punto debatiblemente negativo está que tiene muchas mazmorras opcionales y jefes opcionales claro esta.estos jefes suelen reciclarse en este tipo de mazmorras pero digamos que son cosas opcionales que solo sirve n para conseguir nuevas armas/hechizos, y aun asi se hace entretenido de completar, no me resulto un drama pero entiendo que a alguna gente esto puede molestarle.
    En resumen: gran gameplay, gran ambientación, gran música, gran historia, grandes personajes pero las cosas opcionales del juego aveces son repetidas (aunque con variaciones)

I am looking forward to playing a real game with a real story now. But this game was pleasant enough and fascinating to play for the first 30-40 hours, then its flaws begin to become apparent.

    The lack of armour, meaningful RPG elements, weapons, direction, story, and lack of polish in combat and boss battles. Not to mention getting killed through walls, glitches, poorly implemented multiplayer, and zero character development or journal to aid in your adventures. However, these flaws are greatly overlooked in favour of the beautiful world, and I suppose that is the case with most reviewers.

    But, make no mistake, this is a VERY frustrating game! Which is a shame. Because it is needlessly so. As of writing, almost two weeks after its release, judging from achievements, only 15% of players have finished it yet. I won't be one of those people, I have better things to do than waste hours on boss after boss after boss. But it was a lovely world for the first 30 hours and might be worth buying just to experience it for that alone, but afterwards, prepare for an unpleasant time, quite often, interlaced with fascination at the world design.

The world and aesthetic is beautiful and I find myself frequently getting sidetracked by some new dungeon or a unique town or area that just makes me want to explore it all. The combat is as fluent as ever, FromSoft has perfected their style and it's as fun as it has ever been. I've seen people talk about how bad the graphics are or how many issues they've discovered. The graphics may be somewhat dated, but it doesn't take away from how much I enjoyed the game. The only issue I've come across was when I was trying to load into a friend's world to help them with a boss, but when I loaded I received the "enemy felled" message and was sent back to my world. The issue was quickly resolved though, but was still annoying at the time. The story is vague, like many other FromSoft games, but there is just so much more in just item descriptions alone that interested me. I haven't beaten every boss yet, but I have dumped 60 hours into the game and overcome some of the more challenging enemies in the game. The fights are tough, but always fair. I haven't encountered a boss that was that I genuinely didn't enjoy fighting. My only issue are the sidequests. Sometimes they're hard to keep track of and some of the npcs would move to a location that just seemed random until the added context later in the quest, . Eventually it made sense, but it didn't make it any less tedious trying to find where they were in the massive world. I know FromSoft likes to be minimalistic with stuff like that, but some kind of log to just keep track of what quest I had started would have been appreciated. Overall, the game isn't the most graphically advanced and definitely has some issues, but I've been enjoying the game so much despite the few issues I did run into. The world is aesthetically beautiful and there are endless possibilities with exploration still left. I can't wait to fill out the rest of my map and maybe find some secret areas and fell more enemies. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve always loved FS games, played all of them, except for Demon Souls. The early and mid game is phenomenal! The main bosses are super cool and cinematic, some bosses do get repetitive by the end of the game like the Tree Spirit and Burial Watchdogs. The main reason I didn’t give it a 10 was because I felt as though the late game was kind of a slog. Mountaintop of the Giants and beyond, the enemies get a huge spike in health and damage, while if you’ve properly explored your damage may be reaching its max with +10/+25 weapon and the soft cap for your attack attribute. I’ve seen many people complain about the graphics but I see it as a none issue, considering Miyazaki has said graphics have never been a priority. The priority has always been the storytelling and gameplay which FS has delivered with flying colors. Expand

    There's no checklist simulator here, just an open world full of mystery and wonder. So many hidden places you'll find for the first time on your third playthrough. It's truly incredible seeing a dev team trust the player as far too often games are too proud of their work, so they feel the need to drag you to every place on the map, but elden ring wants you to discover the magic of this world on your own.. this is your journey, your path to cut, this is your world.

    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.
