    Now before you rage at least hear me out, or i dunno read the summary at the end.

    Now to be fair, this game has next gen graphics that are beautiful and certainly one for your desktop wallpaper but not that much else.
    The character design is in depth and makes you feel like you have inserted yourself into this world.

    BUT,

    The AI in this game is abysmal, they patrol the same line no matter what, day in and day out. Their perception is absolutely atrocious and you can sneak around them easily, too easily. You can also just sprint around literally any enemy and effectively become invincible. For a triple A release i do expect better. You end up killing the same footsoldiers in the same forest over and over which slows progress to a complete halt. Oh yeah, and THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT CORPSES. Come on man, at least be cautious about a **** corpse in the road. The voice acting also leaves this game with something to be desired. Every line feels like it is delivered with no emotion, anger or despair. Nothing.

    The "open world" is also very open, true, BUT it fails to fill its openness which is very disappointing. It fills itself with these stale enemies that feel like robots, not humans. Some loot that is completely useless for a majority of the game and vast expanses of admittedly beautiful views. BUT THE FOLIAGE is atrocious. The animation when you look closely is the same waving back and forth of stale fronds despite the direction of wind. Everything feels plastic with moving parts like a machine which is disappointing to say the least.

    The combat also is very clunky. I have played as bandit and astrologer and both control pretty badly. If you dodge continuously you effectively become invincible which defeats the purpose of good timing. The stamina recharges so quickly it might as well not even be a mechanic. The flasks are a good system that i can appreciate but the way they refuel is silly. Having to kill a group of enemies is stupid as it is inconsistent with which groups you can gain them on. Also lack of invulnerability frames means one attack can spell immediate death on you which is frustrating and leaves me feeling cheated.

    There is very little indication of where you are meant to go at all. I understand it is an open game but the only clue is the direction of the light shining from the light respawn point things which do this regardless of level meaning you might end up fighting the first real boss with the same gear you started off with, unfortunately i fell into this trap.

    Even furthermore, a complete lack of story, or at least a well explained version at the beginning leaves me feeling like there is no point to anything you do. The vague explanation in the powerpoint presentation "cutscene" at the beginning is not very motivational and does not make me want to discover what a tarnished is or why i want the elden ring so much. Even if it elaborates later into the story, i'm afraid it will be too little, too late.

    In summary, i must declare this game a victim of over hyping. Too high expectations have crashed this hype train. I will admit, amazing graphics (that aren't plants) and a good premise. However a combination of terrible AI, bad voice acting, an empty husk of a world, bad combat and an utterly unforgiving and vaguely signed world makes for a terrible first experience. Overall, not worth the money or time    … Expand

    I can only rate how Elden Ring is for me on the Xbox Series S. I've had no problems, no stutters, no frame drops, multiplayer works, it's running the way it supposed to. It looks exactly like it did in all the advertising and network test (if it looked bad to some why did they buy it and then complain about it?) It's also exactly what Fromsoft said it was, an open worlds souls game.I can only rate how Elden Ring is for me on the Xbox Series S.

    Anyway I'm a Nintendo guy and I bought my Xbox so I could play this game and am not disappointed. It's also my first souls game since Dark Souls 1 first came out and I'm loving it, lots of dying even to the first enemy but it can be done with some time and practice. It's huge too, 40 hours in and I haven't even gotten out of the first area, too busy exploring and dying and trying to power up as much as possible, the world isn't empty, it just doesn't have a million markers on the map telling you exactly where everything is, you have to go look for it.    … Expand

    Yes the game must be so good for you if you have a lot of experience for souls games but from a new players perspective, this game is terrible, its confusing and plain boring.

Im a big Fromsoftware fan and the souls series, this game in no different. The game is Insanely big, spend the first 30 hours in the first 3 zones taking my own path doing everything i can find in every zone before taking on the main boss. I have seen the reactions of people having a hard time with the first big boss (margit) which wasn't the case for me after spending the first 20 hours in the first 2 zones i easily defeated margit, and i feel like this is how the game should be tackled, exploring is a big key to succes in this game and if this isn't something you like then this might not be the souls game for you.. the game is massive and to be honest will be sad when my journey ends at the end of the game.

    I had a couple of issue's with the horse controls and are wonky at times, the fall height also has its issue's..
    FPS issue's on XBSX are horrible some times when its rains the FPS dips belows 30 sometimes, also had some boss fights which weren't ideal at all making dodging a mess some times getting me killed.
    This might be an issue because i outleveled the zones and took my sweet time exploring but the game feels alot easier then other titles, bosses seem alot easier. I had a couple of bosses in my 40 hours play through that took me around an hour of trying but that was about it. DS3 took me about 2-3 hours for bosses to finish (sulyvahn)    … Expand

    This game should be called Dark Souls 4. For every fan of FROMSoftware this is definitely a must. One thing that I am not sure about is the use of open world (of field). Server issues should also be addressed, I assume the problems are temporary.

If that's what you are looking for, please please don't let the cool aesthetic of the game make you buy it, it is not for you.

    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.

    No, the graphics aren't next gen but graphics arent everything in a game. the game's aesthetic, enemy variety, environmental vistas are all quite stunning.    … Expand

    An insane amount of options to approach every aspect of the game, excellent fast paced combat and an incredible story with a cast of characters with superb voice acting. The open world is designed expertly and feels great to explore and discover secrets in.

    this game is great lots of content lots of different enemies and bosses the world is beautiful even the underground areas looks amazing... the low reviews are from people that dont like dark souls games or never played one which is to be expected but if you want a game with lots of hours of content and playability this game is for you

    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.

    I want to really like this game but performance issues ruin the experience. Playing on performance mode, it feels like I'm getting below 30fps in some boss battles, and having low framerates when you need precise movements and actions, makes it nearly impossible to progress in some places. If you're on the fence about purchasing Elden Ring, hold off until the developers improve the performance.

Exploration is continually rewarded in the world. The bosses are difficult but there’s always the option to leave and come back to fight another day once you’ve leveled up and gained more knowledge. I recommend players keep a notebook or notes file on their computer/phone open to keep track of important details that may be forgotten if not written down. If you’re feeling frustrated by a part of this game, this is most likely by design. It never hurts to use the internet to look up a topic you may be confused about. The lack of handholding is actually quite rewarding, even if it’s frustrating at times. After playing for hours and taking a break, I can’t wait to jump back in.… Expand

    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.

Hopefully FromSoftware can fix the multiplayer issues, frame rates and I’m looking forward to ray tracing in the future.

    This game has some of the most uninteresting and nerdy stuff I’ve ever seen. Why am I fighting a giant crab with zero explanation?

Exlporation is amazing, in every corner you will find secrets. There are infinite type of enemys every one with different fight style. Character customization is awesome, same for skill points. The other thing that i am loving is that this game is really huge, so if you are buying It you will play at least for 100 hours to finish It totally. 99 % of the games After 20 hours are done, and after they steal money with DLC...
    My only critic is the absence of a guide that help to understand some things of the game, for example i had to watch a YT video to understand how to summon spirits or how to switch Blade to 2 hand. I don't give 10/10 vote because the story in a game like is none-esistent (in my personal opinion), and even because perfection doesn't exist.    … 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.
