    Excellently done. There are some balancing, networking, and bug issues but really not bad considering what other devs push as "finished games". FromSoftware has done a great job and I could only imagine what they could have done with another 6 months or a year.

    A little Sneak:
    gameplay

    The heart at the end.

    a) Territories

    I could rave all day about the diversity of the individual areas. There is so much to explore. Caelid, decomposed by rot, Limgrave as an open landscape with many castles and towers, Liurnia with a grandiose academy or the beautiful city of Leyndell. This is just part of the many areas to explore. The areas are a big part of the incessantly generating motivation.

    It's unbelievable that Fromsoft managed to establish their level structure, the clear recognition value even in an open world that is so big. Despite the new world, you always feel at home and always try to compare some sections, places, etc. with previous parts or are reminded of them.

    The drawn map is a dream. You don't have question marks everywhere, but prominent spots on the map where you decide for yourself: something could be there. From the drawing, there could be something there. Most of the time you are simply rewarded for your curiosity and basically get useful things.

    Secret doors, at some point there are a lot of them, are simply part of it and I like this uncertainty that you always have at Fromsoft because you don't want to miss anything. You can always find something somewhere, whether it's backtracking or unlocking a shortcut. The top of it is that in the last few hours I've discovered so many more areas and because of that I've been able to kill a lot of bosses. Not only the boss kill but also finding an area gives you so much joy at Fromsoft.

    b) bosses

    Big or small, optional or story boss, I thought so many were terrific. Radahn, Malenia, just to name two really great fights, show what boss gameplay can do. I especially liked Malenia, who couldn't supplant my favorite boss, Sister Friede. Although it is now the undisputed boss with the most tries for me, that never spoiled the fight for me.

    I also liked the multitude of optional bosses. But the recycling bothered me a bit, especially e.g. the black cavalry riders, who were always ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL, was much too easy for me. The bosses, which then turn into trash mobs, are terrific and typically fromsoft, and they often made me sweat.

    The game is also getting more and more difficult, especially the last three areas are really tough. The game also gives you various options to act with different bosses (e.g. Mohg).

    Ultimately, the fat bosses also give you armor or weapons, and here too you have to make decisions and choose carefully.

    c) fight

    Whether magician, two-handed warrior or double katana samurai. There is so much possibility to change your character in Elden Ring, even during the game. I played with katanas for a long time, but also tried different weapons again and again. Later I even trained in faith and prepared myself with invocations before every fight. Halberds, fist weapons, daggers, swords, shields, bows, whips and much more. The Elden Ring arsenal is vast and only a small part of the greater whole. All weapons can be enhanced in various ways. Frost & Bleed? YES. Fire? YES flash? YES. Elden Ring gives you a kit and you can totally lose yourself in it in a positive way.

    Talismans replace the rings and only expand the hero's repertoire even more. There are also consumables and a crafting system. Especially the crafting shows Fromsoft's strength: If you read through here, if you look for the books together, then you will be given really important and good opportunities to strengthen your character. Gathering resources was never annoying, just well integrated. Each resource has its own look and at some point you also know what the item is that you collected there. It's not one size fits all, it doesn't all look the same.

    In addition to the possibility of PvE co-op NPCs or online partners, you can also summon different spirits. A great feature, but I only used it more often when clearing warehouses. For almost all bosses I personally left them out. Among them there are also really cool items with great figures.

    I finally used PvP and co-op a lot. I've helped people with Mohg so much because there were just so many runes for it, which gave me the opportunity to buy a lot of crafting stones to try out more weapons. PvP went much better than in the other parts (fewer lagging opponents) but there are already a lot of brutally strong meta builds here.

    I played with bleeding a lot.

    Conclusion

    10/10 ELDEN LORDS. I love the game and it has climbed the Fromsoft throne for me. My beloved Dark Souls III has been supplanted and in my eyes it deserves Elden Ring. I had 107 hours (+15 with my magician) of constant fun, going through a lot of emotions and just a really good experience.    … Expand

    As someone who has played all previous Souls games, Elden Ring tops them all. Although made noticeably easier than previous games to appeal to a newer audience, the open world experience is a delight and I really hope every game they make going forward is open world too.

This game has one of the best worlds to explore I've ever seen in any game I have played; the visuals are spectacular and not one single inch feels wasted. One of my favorite things about this game is every weapon and spell looks cool but also feel viable to the point you can pretty much make any build you want. This game is the peak of From Software's design in Dark Souls in giving freedom to the players to play however they want. The fluid combat and the added ability to jump add to the great experience of fighting and exploring in this game. The games story like other soul's games is very obscure but also very rich if you are willing to look for it. The characters are mostly good, but I felt they could have done more with certain ones. Most main game bosses feel and look very cool and are fun to fight. Some people don't like the reuse of enemies throughout the game but overall, I think they did a good job of making them unique to the areas you fight them and the powers they use, making them feel like new enemies. Difficulty wise Elden Ring is probably the 2nd easiest soul's game with Dark Souls 2 being the easiest. With 85 deaths in Elden Ring total, 46 of which were due to Malenia leaving 39 from the rest of the game compared to, 38 deaths in Dark Souls 1, 55 deaths in Dark Souls 3, and 9 deaths in Dark souls 2 (DS2 just felt extremely easy). One problem I had was Malenia and her being able to use her waterfowl dance 5 times in the span of a 2 minutes using it every other attack, if I could change one thing, I would give that move a 60 second cool down after she uses it.

Most open world games while huge are empty, Elden Ring's world is not. It's bright, lively, and enchanting while also being dark, gritty, and terrifying. It becons the player to go out and explore regardless of what challenges may be around each corner. The combat is a deep and intense as ever, with plenty of options for the player to explore and tailor their playstyle. And as always the boss's are as difficult as ever with some boardering on the insane. The sheer creativety of the monstrosities that have been created are jaw-dropping. Thankfully you do not have to face these challenges alone with the online co-op and the new spirit summoning system to ease your troubles on this long journey. The story is interesing but elusive which will require multiple playthroughs to fully squeze the blood from this stone, giving the game even more replay value. I highly recommend giving this game a shot but understand that while it is the most accessible FromSoftware title it is a challenge. You will die. A lot.… Expand

    While I don't necessarily think this is FromSoftware's best game to date, this is easily the game I would recommend to play first for anyone wondering where to start in the series.

But for newer players, the game provides many ways to make their playing experience moreWhile I don't necessarily think this is FromSoftware's best game to date, this is easily the game I would recommend to play first for anyone wondering where to start in the series. It has immense challenge for players who are up for it; Malenia is easily the hardest boss in any Soulsborne game ever. But for newer players, the game provides many ways to make their playing experience more manageable. So for anyone looking to get into FromSoft games, this is the best place to start imo.

    This game absolutely masters the art of the open world game like few have done before it. The only other open world games I've played that live up to the open world design of Elden Ring are Skyrim and Breath of the Wild. This was by far the most surprising thing about this game to me. FromSoft had always been known for their intricate 3D Metroidvania style games, so a fully realized and incredibly detailed open world game isn't what I was expecting from them. But it just works so well here. Also, their more narrow, non-linear, metroidvania style level design is still abundantly present in the NUMEROUS castles found throughout the map.

    Bosses are good. Best storyline that FromSoft has delivered so far. Still very much leaning into that alternative form of storytelling where you need to think about the context of why certain enemies are where they are, and you need to look through item descriptions to understand the story.    … Expand

    So the occasional framerate drops are enough to give this game a 0 for some people.

    Yes there are some little frame drops here and there, to be honest I hardly notice them that much.
    And yes the bosses are ridiculously difficult, but that is what to be expected from FromSoftware games. But they give you the option to always run away, level up and fight the bosses again.

    As for the technical issues, I'm on a 120hz VRR capable tv so it all looks fine to me. I am also against those giving the game a zero for something that will be further optimized with upcoming patches so another +1 stat boost in my review.

    The open world is deep and rich with so many places, corners, nooks, and crannies to explore. It can be overwhelming but there's no foul in looking through guides online or on youtube.

    The combat ranges from challenging to absolutely brutal, but you can run away go in another direction and return when you're stronger and you have more experience with less difficult opponents.

    This is my first souls-like and I'm glad I got it, I am enjoying myself but I'm also not capable of binge playing it like others, I feel this will be a game I go into for 1-2 hours a week to slowly grind away at it.

    Déjà, un premier point négatif sur la technique, le mode Qualité n'apporte rien visuellement et se permet d'avoir un fps trop bas pour ce type de jeu. C'est immédiatement visible. Préférez donc le mode Performance qui est parfait (je joue pourtant sur une Oled avec VRR). Point positif, la version Xbox bénéficie du Dolby Vision, non disponible sur PS5. Les contrastes sont donc meilleurs avec une colorimétrie plus maîtrisé. Top.

    Enfin, concernant le jeu, la DA est magnifique, l'univers réussi, et l'open World tient toutes ses promesses. Le monde est immense, bourré de secrets. On a l'impression de ne jamais en voir la fin.
    Je n'avais jamais fait de jeux From Software jusqu'à ce jour (à part le 1er Dark Souls que j'avais lâché à cause de son gameplay très lent et sa difficulté qui m'avait rebuté à l'époque).
    Le jeu est donc totalement accessible pour n'importe quel joueur, et ça c'est vraiment une bonne chose. Si on bute sur un boss ou une zone, pas grave, on y revient plus tard quand on est mieux équipé et avec un perso plus fort. Ca finit toujours par passé, et même Mélania le boss le plus difficile de jeu, ne sera pas insurmontable.

    Les principaux défauts pour moi:
    - recyclage omniprésent des boss. Entre les dragons, les statues chats, les mages, les vers et j'en passe. C'est vraiment dommage de ne pas avoir diversifié davantage ces "mini boss".
    - un scénario un peu obscur et difficile à suivre à mon goût
    - un inventaire brouillon et des objets souvent incompréhensibles (les indications fournies sont trop succintes, voir obscures)
    - des quêtes annexes où on ne sait jamais si elles sont finies. Il manque juste un onglet avec l'état d'avancement des quêtes. On peut passer à côté de beaucoup de chose parce que tout est très confu au niveau histoire et suivi

    En conclusion, Elden Ring mérite tout de même tous les compliments qu'il a reçu et reste un grand jeu. Presque 110 heures passés sur le jeu et je ne me suis jamais ennuyé. Preuve que la recette est bonne.    … 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.
