The world is depressing and the game just puts you in a bad mood, story is non existent aside from some convoluted item descriptions and they make no sense anyways, everything is vague and dumb. Combat is the only thing to do and it sucks too, just hit, block, dodge repeat, it is slow and boring, there are some weapons that do a special type of attack like laser beam and such but they even managed to make those special weapon attacks slow and boring. The game is just bad, most overrated game I've ever seen. Avoid it and save your money.… Expand

    I was hoping for something to completely reinvent gameplay and story based off of the hype but what I got was just yet another game with very similar esthetics, mechanics, and ambiguity with certain story elements and characters. It's a decent game to some I'm sure but after so many similar titles, I've had all the fun I personally think I can with such subtle growth and change.

    No es un juego para todo el mundo, despues de 60 horas de gameplay he decidido abandonarlo, no por dificultad, sino porque quien mucho abarca poco aprieta, es el caso de este juego, demasiado largo en mi opinión...

    Tal vez no este en el momento de meterle 100horas a un juego, y en un futuro me parezca la obra maestra de la que todos hablan

    True masterpiece. Must play for enthusiast of From Software games. It is not easily approachable, but so are other From Software games. You need to spend some time to drown into the Elden Ring world. Map is overwhelming with number of locations and secrets. Boss fights are spectacular. Glued me to the console for long time.

FINAL. (Aviso: ... MUCHO TEXTO ...) No se cuanto mas se pueda decir de ELDEN RING que no se haya dicho hasta el momento. Yo creo que este juego es una experiencia que puede llevarse de diferentes maneras y creo que es super recomendable sobre todo al publico que disfruta de desafíos, de mundos abiertos y de maravillarse con lo que tranquilamente podría ser una de las mejores OST de la historia. ELDEN RING para mi es GOTY pero NO ES PERFECTO. Tanto el mundo como la duración son extensos sin entenderse realmente la finalidad del mismo .El sistema de crafteo, se usa muy poco y no es para nada relevante. Hay muchos enemigos repetidos, de igual manera que zonas... etc... NO ES PERFECTO.
    Sin embargo hasta el final no deja de maravillarte. Si de a poco logras ir siguiendo la historia, si ademas buscas afuera, en youtube o el canal que mas te guste, el entendimiento del mundo, si te aferras a ciertas Questlines y las llevas hasta el final, es maravilloso desde el punto narrativo.
    La inmersion que se encuentra a traves del arte y la musica es increible.
    El combate por supuesto es desafiante, y el agregado de las invocaciones lo hace mucho mas accesible que sus predecesores.
    El juego en si a veces se ameseta pero en sus picos mas altos es una OBRA MAESTRA SOBRESALIENTE.
    Jugandolo tranqui tarde 8 meses en terminarlo mas o menos. Podes dejar y volver a las Tierras intermedias si estas cansado. Es por este ritmo que aunque sea un juego CARO... me parece super rentable por la cantidad de horas que se le puede dedicar sin inferir en conseguir todos los logros o probar diferentes runs con diferentes builds inclusive.
    En fin... ELDEN RING... SI!    … Expand

    Looks pretty, but the very poor design is just lazy. Making Bosses massively, vastly overpowered and giving players a feather duster weapon to wave at a Boss travelling at you like an atomic bomb is terrible unbalanced rubbish.

    It's a very intriguing game and very difficult, if you want to make the game easier in any way then your only option for the casual and hardcore gamer is to RUNE FARM and level up your character. Doing this allowed me to get better and stronger and able to defeat and beat the game. It still is a challenge but being at a high level makes things easier, YES even in Elden Ring it makes it Easier!

    This game can prove that you can definitely have too much of a good thing. To say the map is big is a massive understatement. The verticality of the game world on top of the area size is absolute overkill. I haven't even reached the Capital yet and I feel. Burnt. Out. I'm so mixed on it.

I do feel like tye enemies have more predictable attack patterns but the variety is there until you start to notice a somewhat shameless reuse of assets. This game has 165 Bosses! I think dark souls 2 only had 40 or so? I wish I could appreciate this game more and I respect the effort put into it. But somehow. Its too much for me personally. Which is weird. Maybe they should change the multiplayer mechanics so that you can interact with players in real time with no summon signs. Instead of summons it could end up being alot more organic. I'm sure covenants could still be implemented in some form or fashion. I just think if you're going to have such a large open world. You may as well make it more social. It would feel alot less empty I suppose as a result.… Expand

    boring and overrated, the genre urgently needs fresh air and its combat system already looks outdated for today's times, a shame I was expecting something more ambitious.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One thing Elden ring does well is that it gives the player a choice. At the start the tree sentinel as well as multiple hidden bosses can be averted by simply walking away from them.this paired with the collosal open world gives Elden ring a sense of freedom which is lacked in other from soft games like blood borne. Don’t get me wrong,bloodborne is a very good game,but it lacks the sense of freedom with cramped city passages as well as a lack of save points against Elden rings huge quantity of graces. By following a different golden path in Elden ring you can bypass the storm front castle and head straight to caelid. you have freedom to go where you want when but the difficulty of enemies combined with the low strength of your starting gear helps reel explorative players back on to the story path without physically putting up a wall… Expand

    Increíble. Un juegazo que todo el mundo debería probar. Su dificultad es menor a la de otros souls y premia la exploración. Si quieres usar invocaciones las usas, si quieres ir a pecho pelado puedes ir. No es necesario el ultra farmeo y no tiene carteles diciéndote a donde ir. Su apartado gráfico es una sacada tremenda y su lore es tremendo, casi tanto como el de farfadox. Recomendado 10

    I have never played a FROMSOFTWARE game before and I usually don't like hard games but I now have 70 hours in the game and I am still only 80% through the game. There are so many new areas to explore and over 200 bosses. All in all I love this game.

    (With Elden Ring, Fromsoft proves it has finally lost sight of what makes their games fair and rewarding and has caved in completely to artificial difficulty. Fights in this game are either trivial or littered with poorly thought out fast attacks and combos, with dramatic AOE effects in bossrooms to cover up the horrible design choices. The gameplay has barely changed since DS3 and does not equip the player with the appropriate toolset to handle its range of enemies. Even worse, they have somehow regressed in quality, with slower rolls, less i frames, input buffering, input delay, inputs disappearing. The damage done in the last third of the game is so bizarre that I cannot even begin to comprehend the thought process. It feels like From really wanted to make an open world game, designed a huge and interconnecting map, and everything else just played second fiddle: littering the landscape with uncreative, sparse and repeated dungeons and encounters, scrapping together unused boss and enemy designs from previous games and slapping it together without thorough playtesting or thoughtful user-oriented design. In summary, after several hundred hours of From games, this is the game that has now tarnished my image of From as a company that holds their games to high standards and respects the player.)

    Quite simply one of the best games of all time. Ive been gaming for 30 years and it is an incredible game. Think dark souls series but in an open world with a better storyline and plot. Ive seen some of the reviews on here and believe these are gamers whom havent played souls games prior to playing elden ring.

    The game was my first ever 'souls-like' so take my review carely. I fall in love with this game, the story, the carachters, the gameplay, everything is put in the exact position you would wish. The score in not 10 out of 10 because a lot of boss/mini-boss are pretty much the same in all the game, but this in understable because the map is very big so i understand why is like that.

    By far the worst souls game ever made, the open world is extremely boring and full of copy+paste content. There is no fun way to traverse the open world. Boss fights are low quality and again a lot of them are copy+paste, I am talking about big story bosses that get shamelessly reused!

The boring empty open world is filled with wannabe pokemon summons called spirit ashe summons, you like collecting pokemons in your souls games? I don't. There is no meaningful reward, the game is too big for its own good, next time provide less quantity and more QUALITY, like previous souls games.… Expand

The publishers boasted that they consulted George R.R. Martin for the story. There is no story. This game is a soul-less mess where players will constantly have to look up guides just to find out how to finish "quests". Game difficulty is artificially too difficult in some parts with stupid gimmicks. Boss fights are boring and repetitive. The UI is horrible and many of the stats (for a stat based game) are not shown in game. This is another game where the reviewers and various streamers are paid shills. I would have more fun poking my dogs petrified poop for 12 hours with a stick on a 102 degree day then continuing to play this garbage game.… Expand

    The game is good, but it fails with certain bosses. Either they're repetitive or unbalanced (AOE spamming fest). But for a Skyrim sized open world soulslike, it's definitely worth a try.

    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.
