    Game is janky and the controls really just don't feel right. Grinding for the sake of grinding is bad game design, imo

    Jogo porco de uma produtora preguiçosa, os gráficos parecem de início de geração do Ps3 ou Xbox, pop-ins a cada 2s e fora a terrível performance principalmente nos consoles de última geração e PC. E o pior é essa mídia especializada (comprada) dando essas notas altas... Lamentável!

    This game feels pointless and is just plain boring. Last generation graphics with sub 60 fps.

    To start with, this game probably deserves higher than the rating I am giving it but in the light of biased rave reviews the game has received (which would not be accepted by those reviewers unfortunately), I will also provide a biased review according to me personal taste.

    Elden Ring is a dated looking poorly optimized game with interesting and fleshed out character build and combat mechanics that only seems to serve the niche of gamers who like the soulslike formula. I believe this game having a rave metacritic would falsely give the impression that it's appealing for masses of casual gamers hence my review.

    As a fan of open world RPG genre carrying many other responsibilities which obliges me to not be able to spare extended stretches of time or entirety of my intellectual capacity to a video game, I found this game to be a poor experience.

    There are a few critical points Elden Ring ignores whether it's intentional or not. Game experience is very unguided. You will likely have bad time figuring out how to progress the story or even what the story is, and consequently you will find yourself wandering around weak mobs in a monotone routine if you don't enjoy that kind of tedious exploration. World is quiet desolate and falls into pitfalls Ubisoft RPGs are prevalently considered to fall into while having no cities or areas bustling with energy many other RPGs offer.

    Accessibility is very poor. Bosses are quiet challenging to the extent that even an experienced gamer who just doesn't have experience with genre will have nightmare time unless one enjoys attempting a single boss fight for more than a dozen time especially given that there are often no tooltips or guidance on how to make certain fights easier given lack of difficulty options for user to choose. This often requires player to memorize move set of the boss while dying numerous times where poor optimization causes big problems as frame drops hinder the application of this memorization as well. This is in addition to the fact that game requires almost impeccable gaming reflexes to apply any of the move set memorization to an efficient enough degree to win these fights.

    Overall, I can see the attraction of this game for the fans of this genre but it is not a game that deserves the acclaim reserved for experiences that can be enjoyed by majority of the overall open world RPG genre like the Witcher 3 or Red Dead Redemption 2 do deserve.    … Expand

    Interesting premise, I really love the open world approach in Elden Ring. Graphically it looks fine, but it runs so incredible bad that I had to stop playing. Get the fps up to a stable 60 and its a masterpiece, right now its not worth buying. In a game that revolves around timing these framerate issues are just unacceptable.

There is nothing new here, other than an expanded map you can move through freely.

    After 19 hours I decided to get rid off the most frustrating gaming experience I have ever experienced from my consol and deleted the game. Not one minute did I feel any kind of fun spending with this game. In my opinion it is completely unfair and thus annoying.
    Furthermore there is basically 0 story. Vague storytelling? No. It is no storytelling. Terrible.
    Beautiful graphics? I would not consider it such. Often times I was not even able to realize there is an NPC next to me, because it disolved into the background.
    Music? When my 6 year old son without watching, just listening to what I am doing points out how terrible the music of the game is, I realize why my frustration spending with this title is so big.
    I honestly do not understand the extremely high critics reviews, why they call this game a milestone. Maybe for a niche group of players who like to be annoyed and frustrated by a game, it delivers, but I did not have fun with it for any second.    … Expand

    My recommendation unless you are a top 30% skilled gammer. Save your money and play cyber punk or assassins creed. Both of those games are amazing. Elden Ring was a big waist of money for me. It may run well, look good, but critics do not give enough warning on how unapproachable this game is for the vast majority of average skilled gamers. Clearly the critic rating system for informing average gamer purchases is flawed. Look at the user scores on these games from now on!    … Expand

    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.

    Cutscenes are awkward as they are stuck behind cutting in and out of black screens and changing camera perspective
    Little explanation for the game and the mechanics, it didn’t tell me the imperative detail of progression being leveling up until I had played for almost 4 hours
    Insufficient explanation of core game design decisions and mechanics that the developers left to hope the players would just spend hours without this knowledge until they figured it out
    Lack of early game narrative gives your character a lack of purpose as your just running around a world you know nothing about and don’t care about to kill enemies you know nothing about and care nothing about
    It’s hard to call a game like this an “RPG” because RPGs usually have good immersion however the immersion is broken with this game once you get a loading screen and are teleported away every time you die, which happens a lot by design with this game
    Enemies always respawning also breaks immersion and makes you clearing an area feel unrewarding

    Overall this game is a **** fest where you spawn in with no purpose and are tasked with killing enemies that attack quicker than half your attacks, attack animation duration(something you can’t cancel). Who also hit you during your roll animation(not synced to negation bad game design) making the core draw of this game the combat a poor experience.

    Pros
    Good character creation

    Muy flojo , malos graficos e historia. Las notas tan altas de los profesionales estan totalmente injustificadas. Creo que hay mucho elitismo en este tipo de juegos . Una juego como una peli que se pueda considerar obra maestra debe ser buena para Todos , no solo para una elite

    So frustrating. I raged quit tonight after putting in over 100 hours. Not even due to a boss fight. The game is unbalanced in its difficulty. This game is for a tiny subset of gamers. I have a stressful job, I look to games to blow off steam and this game achieved the opposite. I don't even feel accomplished after defeating a boss, just relief. Why would anyone subject themselves to this?

    Just simply not a very good game. Little to no story. Most content is missable and untracked. Very outdated and disappointing on accessibility. Unimpressive visual and audio design. Sluggish combat. No climbing. Janky horse. Poor optimization and performance despite very minimal technical ambition. Lots of lazy corners cut, like the slideshow opening.

Zero storyline.. apparently it’s a uNiQue MeTHoD of Storytelling.. but seems to me just a way to 1) not have to pay for voice actors because almost every NPC apart from a choice few are complete mutes even human characters 2) hiding the lack of programming ability to maintain loops or behaviors for the NPCs - so a) everytime you touch a grace or fast travel anywhere - every NPC / flower / bird goes back to the same exact spot and starts their day like some weird Truman show - Groundhog Day **** b) no immersion and no permanence in the game - might as well just run past every bad guy until you get the main boss because as soon as you go somewhere to level up every single bad guy will be reincarnated in the exact same spots, walk the exact same paths and do the exact same thing
    c) the can’t program interactions with the bosses with the environment well and limited environmental destruction so they have to lock you in the room with every boss so you ‘can’t escape’ but realistically it’s because they can’t program these creatures to interact with the world C) Making the game a complete grind to level up “to make the game difficult and rewarding” - nah bollocks - it’s just because the game is much more shallow than it advertised and so it makes pointless grinding and one hit kill bosses you have to flawlessly fight again and again just to pad out this lifeless game. I mean seriously? How do these giant monsters survive underground in a cave etc with no food - it makes zero sense.. It’s a pretty open world game where there’s no point to anything and nothing you do changes anything - it’s just a game for people who like collecting herbs and leveling up for hours and don’t care much the story    … Expand

    If you activate multiplayer features in this game you also get the invasion system which is nothing but a feast for grievers and can‘t be deactivated. Which makes it impossible to play a relaxed coop session. If you don‘t care it might be a great game.

    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.
