    Master piece, this game make me love videogames again. Is a continuous challenge from the begging to the end, that makes beating each boss feels that you are getting better are more stronger. The people who says that it doesn't have graphics, or it doesn't have a quest log or you die a lo, please go home a cry to you mother because this is dark souls.

    Literally the greatest game I've played in such a long time. I'm a veteran player of the souls series, however I see how it could be more accessible to newer players with summons and spirits. Brand new playstyles with Torrent and the ability to jump freely, which changes it alot more than you think. Lore is still spicy.

    I’m convinced that these low user reviews haven’t even played the game. Soulless? Uninspired? Bad graphics? None of these things have been an issue for me. Sure the graphics aren’t AAA level, but the art direction more than makes up for that. I haven’t entered a world that has more character to it since Skyrim.

If you give it a chance and have the patience to learn from dying instead of getting angry, then please don’t let the negative user scores throw you off. If you can’t handle dying or don’t like overcoming adversity, then don’t play it. If you like all the aspects and areas of your open worlds thoroughly explained so that there is no mystery or discovery, then this game is not for you. If you are a human being with a brain and an ability to learn and think critically then this game IS FOR YOU.… Expand

    As a long time fan of Fromsoft's Dark Souls trilogy, Elden Ring takes the cake as the best of them all. I'm naturally a skeptical person and don't go throwing around the phrase "the best" too often. They plucked and dropped some of the best features from all of their past games and beautifully orchestrated them together with an interesting original story and produced a masterpiece.

The music in ER is amazing as well and deserves recognition. There are a lot of reviews on here, and all over the internet, that make ER sound like the worst game ever made. A minute sum of these reviews and comments are valid and bring up reasonable points. However, a majority of them are emotionally motivated and charged by the overwhelming popularity this game has imbued. In the end, Elden Ring will go down as one of the greatest ever in-spite of the negative "reviews" a few "gamers" made because they couldn't git gud.… Expand

Elden Ring is more of then a game, it’s an actual story that you get to create, it lets you choose your path and how you get to do it, the freedom is astonishing, and what you can explore to at the start of the game, there are no quest markers and I believe that it is amazing, there’s no task list, there’s no other objective except one, become the Elden Lord, people get upset that there’s no quest marker because they are used to their hand being held, and true, not every game can copy that, but, elden ring let’s you use your imagination. When you figure it out, there’s a click that you get in your head, the narration and item description helps give you a hint, take your time with the game and enjoy, and to the people say the graphics aren’t enough, go outside, the game is beautiful the way it is, you don’t need peach fuzz rendering to make a game like elden ring beautiful, the gameplay is fun because it challenges you, as a vet in the series, I am ecstatic to find the joy I have when I play this game, and to a word to people who say they hate people who love soul like games, my joy outshines that hatred that equals the abyss, in the end though, I love the challenge, I love the time I’ve spent in my first play through, and another side note, sorry if I sound nerdy, this game deserves the praise it gets… Expand

    Cinematics are awesome and it has so much good content, that it blew my mind.
    The quests and story is also wonderful and I was never more into a game as Elden Ring overall. Definetely a 10/10.

    Now lets talk about the current "controvery":
    Some Game devs (Especially the sore loosers at ubisoft) badmouthed this game with various untrue reasons like: missing UI, bad graphics, overhyped by game critics and so on (,while being unable to make good games theirself).
    Saddest part is, that some ubi-fanboys are reviewbombing this game and giving their favourite "open world game" perfect score. They usually copy ubisofts and over devs words and just add the "bad performance" part for PC, which mostly has been fixed for people above min. reqiurements.

    If you don't like it or even hate the game, I guess it's okay if you give like a 5. But it shouldn't be objectively possible to give below 5 because it's in every aspect amazing. Now to all the Fanboys/Clowns: If you really hate it, it's okay. Taste is objective.
    If you think the game is bad because of gameplay or graphics then you didn't know what game you bought in the first place and you are a fool.
    If the game doesn't run smoothly, next time read the System requirements, which they posted like 1 week even before release.

    If you cry about UI, lore or just copy the stupid/false words from the "devs", just go to your corner and play your easy/boring/bad microtransaction games with 800 questmarker/waypoints on the map where you just follow a path like a bot without thinking/playing yourself. If that's the case, you are the reason why gaming gets bad and gives money to those big "triple A" companys, who exploit clowns like you.

    If you want to fight me in an argument about this, just add me on steam or write me a comment there. Can't wait how many clowns are going to write "interesting stuff" and white knight their favourite game in comparison to elden ring.

Otro punto negativo son las quest secundarias, en estas si hubiera hecho falta algún tipo de indicador o un guiño del personaje de donde encontrarlo la próxima vez o de que hacer, por que literal es imposible completarlas sin mirar una guía, lo cual le quita al juego ese extra de andar a ciegas y lo convierte en algo monótono el tener q ver una guía, volver al juego ir a ese punto x tener un dialogo, volver a la guía, ver el siguiente paso, volver al juego, hacerlo..... arruina la experiencia. Fuera de eso es un excelente juego y la realidad por ahora es que la dificultad está presente al inicio, una vez alcanzado el nivel 60 con tu arma favorita en +17 algún stat de fuerza o destreza en 40 y unas cenizas de invocación en +6 la dificultad baja al 50%. Por ejemplo arranque el juego como es esperado y en lugar de ir a la segunda y tercera zona, me fui para la cuarta el desafío era alto pero la fue peleando y lo completo hasta donde se podía, y luego al ir a las zonas que en realidad eran la 2 y 3, me la estoy pasando matando a enemigos poderosos de 4 golpes .para resumir tiene una duración monstruosa ya que explorando al 100% y jugando sin guías a la primera recurrendo luego a ellas para sacar el 100 de lo que ofrece cada una de las zonas, con quest incluidas, llevo unas 60 hs y calculo que recién un 50% del juego, y aun sigo enganchado cosa que no me paso con otro mundo abierto… Expand

    I joined the feeble cohorts of console gaming when the SEGA Master system was cool. This was the start of a life long infatuation with gaming. Thats where it started. NIntendo,PS, Xbox, indeed even a PC or two have graced this household with its presence. Ive played many, many great games. I’ve rescued the Milky way from fearsome reapers, liberated the nuclear wasteland, stolen thousands of cars, liberated tropical islands, won countless Stanley cups and to boot l, a few world cups. I’ve planned and built cities and I’ve protected man kind in the name if our God emperor! Ive played over 200 hours of Elden ring on my Series X , not nearly as many as I’ve spent on Dark souls one, two or three. But i predict this game will be one of the greats. One of those you keep coming back to. I truly have loved every moment of it. The open world keeps distracting you, leading you astray from your true quest. Visually stunning vistas and alluring lore that keeps you hooked on lorevids on Youtube is accompanied by stellar fighting mechanics and that ever present feeling of joy and fear at the same time. You know the one, where you never know whats next on the epic journey. Bossfights in line with what we’ve come to expect when it comes to FROM, secret and rare items, dragons, fire, magic, stellar soundtrack and of course..Patches!
    This game has earned a spot in my all time top ten of games. It is a few patches from top five. (Software updates, that is ;). )
    Never wrote a review before.. This seemed like a good time to start!

It was not easy by no stretch in fact my second time through the game I did the vagabond and used the glorious golden halberd which did make most bosses feel super easy but once I took one the dual wielding great swords did this game feel truly special. All of this to say that the freedom in this game is what truly sets itself apart from former games in the series and the unguided nature of the game sets it apart from other open world games minus a few that did it first.

    Repetitive, the most efficient way to play is to find the weapon with the most damage and do a jumping attack, pvp is lousy unless you like to be ganked by 2-3 people and if by some miracle you win the rewards are not worth it, in late game bosses are very unfair, decent game but Sekiro has better combat, Bloodborne better story.

The first experience is incredibly memorable and the main bosses are amazing, the lore is nothing to talk about, although I think it's very similar to Dark Souls and lacks a bit of originality. The problem is that there comes a point, more precisely in the second half of the game, that it gets very repetitive, the optional bosses are very forgettable, the boss repetition is ridiculously annoying and the game balance is so unstable to the point that you are OP without nor make effort, spoiling the Experience. The soundtrack is far inferior to past games, especially if we compare it to Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne, you can count on your fingers which ones are really memorable and incredible. The exploration of the world itself is phenomenal and intuitive, it's really a revolution of the open world system, but unfortunately that's only true for the first time playing, making the game have very little replay factor, as you've already seen all the new exploration. In short, the game is amazing and extremely fun and addictive, it has a lot of successes but it also has a lot of flaws. For FromSoftware's first open world game, I'd say they are to be congratulated, they improved a lot from the other games, but honestly it could have been better. If they had more creativity and time, the game would be immensely more memorable and most of the game's serious flaws would be minimized. Overall, it's an unforgettable game on your first playthrough and it's really worth it, it's not quite a masterpiece as many have said, for me it's basically an open world Dark Souls 4, but it's worth the investment, especially nowadays where the market of Videogames only cares about money and quantity, while FromSoftware cares more about the artistic factor and quality in their games.

I felt like by NOT playing this, I would possibly be missing out on a game of the year candidate. The game is absolutely deserving of it's high marks and I'm blown away about how much I actually enjoy this game.

    The first couple of hours were a bit daunting and I started to wonder what I got my self into. It felt like "Well here comes another game I shouldn't have bought". But I pushed through to learn the mechanics and how the game wanted me to play and at this point, every time I turn on the Series X, its the first thing I click on. The world is highly satisfying to explore. The graphics look great on an OLED (Not sure what others have issues with, it definitely looks like a next gen game). The game is challenging which isn't easy to come by these days, but remains rewarding. The gear/progression system is addicting and I believe the game has very long legs as something you play off and on for the entire year.

    I'm a shooter/sports/sometimes RPG fan. This game should not be in my wheelhouse. But the hooks are in deep and at this point I couldn't be happier I decided to check this out. FromSoftware is now a "must check out" their new game developer for me alongside studios like Bethesda.

    Do yourself a favor, stop contimplating it. Stop getting stuck on people throwing hate because they don't enjoy the challenge. It's a game that doesn't hold your hand and that's rare right now and should be praised. We come to video games for escape and emergence. It's here....it's Elden Ring.    … Expand

It truly is one of the most immersive games I've ever played. It's a beautiful game filled with diverse landscapes and beautiful music. Every area feels like your walking into a living, breathing painting. Next, the story in this game. It's fantastically vague and fleshed out, much like it's predecessors. The story itself is interesting and captivating, perhaps the best in the entire series. Now for the npcs and side quests. Almost every npc character in this game has a quest line. These are almost always amazing and generate a connection between the npc and the player. The problem of finding the npc in a hidden location is mostly gone now that a character marker has been added, although not completely. Finally, the cinematic and fantastic boss fights. My favorite part of all the souls games have always been the boss fights, duels with mythical knights and gigantic beasts are almost always done so well in the souls series. Elden Ring is no exception. So many bosses in this game are amazing! These aspects of the game add up to elden ring being a masterpiece. However, it's not perfect, nowhere near it.… Expand

The bosses are fun for the most part and the open world always has somthing to find and lack the soullessness of modern open world games. No game is perfect and Elden Ring has a few quibbles, suchElden Ring is a superb experience, bringing From Soft's Dark Souls combat to a new level and open world. Easily the most accessible Souls game with hard but fair game play that rewards the user. The bosses are fun for the most part and the open world always has somthing to find and lack the soullessness of modern open world games. No game is perfect and Elden Ring has a few quibbles, such as some of the bosses being a little too big for the camera to see and the lock on system is flawed. However a 10/10 is not saying a game is perfect and I can give this game no less then that. One of the best games i have ever played neck and neck with Fallout New Vegas for my favorite open world game.… Expand

    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.
