    Could have been better. This game had too much hype. The game is generally looks awesome . The map is very huge and its is really fun to exploring. The bad thing is optimization. I believe, it gonna be fixed after patches. The feel also could have been better with more blood and gore and more animations on steath takedowns. Remember this is 2022 game .

    Trabalho lamentável de otmização, sem falar que os gráficos tiveram pouca evolução para outros jogos soulslike, a from software precisa trabalhar mais na qualidade de seus jogos.

    Performance issues, network issues at launch make me wonder where all tge perfect scores came from. VRR makes the performance issues manageable.

If you are new to the series nothing is explained properly. You'll be looking for guides everywhere so it breaks immersion.

    If you are into Soulsborne games and want to see an open world version I recommend it. If not stay away. The exploration can be super fun and darkly beautiful but beyond frustrating at times as well. The coop system is still the same so no updates to it as well. I unfortunately thought it was a big evolution but the only thing that's changed is am open world, a horse and you can a summon AI help at times. To me it's fun but can feel extremely tedious.    … Expand

    Jogo está muito mal otimizado, por favor consertem isso. Não jogue a reputação da from software no lixo por preguiça. Essa mídia especializada é uma piada a ponto de da nota 10 pra um jogo desses. Um desrespeito com os fãs das franquias souls

    Let me start off by saying the game artistically looks amazing. However the serious lack of details up close is a bit sad. They're something you would see early PS4/XBO days. The quality mode helps a little, but that mode is nearly unplayable, so hard to consider that an option. There also no quest list or journal, no map pin system, no hand holding of any kind which is kind of fun andLet me start off by saying the game artistically looks amazing.

The quality mode helps a little, but that mode is nearly unplayable, so hard to consider that an option. There also no quest list or journal, no map pin system, no hand holding of any kind which is kind of fun and kind of irritating at the same time. I like some bit of structure, it doesn't need to be Bethesda level of hand holding though. It also had a fun aspect to it when you're not repeating the same attempt for the 12th time. I played some of the other dark souls and blood borne games when I was younger, but didn't play them very long due to the difficulty. Now that I'm in my 30s I don't mind sticking to it longer but without that historical Souls franchise experience, it is very difficult and very frustrating. I've been playing since launch and still haven't beat the first boss. Watch video, gotten advise and still can't get it done. I would have liked to try it coop but ya know it didn't work for days and I still haven't gotten to try it. From what I've seen, it's really not that dynamic of a coop anyway so I'm weary. Overall the game is fun ut is very frustrating not just for difficulty but the broken online mode, meh graphical details, lack of basic features, and crazy clunky fighting mechanics. Basically, if you're not already a Souls die hard with a clear bias for this type of game, this game is just good but not good enough. Too bad the critics couldn't see past their bias.… Expand

    From what i know and when i played, Elden Ring performs so much better on the Xbox with better frame rate at max and even with VRR, Elden Ring is even more higher fps and is better than every other version of Elden Ring. Elden Ring is such a great game with bosses and open world

    A masterpiece based upon a foundation laid by George R.R.

TheA masterpiece based upon a foundation laid by George R.R. Martin, and further developed by director Hidetaka Miyazaki, and the development team, From Software, Elden Ring has captivated me unlike any game has before. The Lands Between consist of beautifully artistic scenery and level design, alluring incentives for exploration, fluid combat, and many diverse, challenging bosses. The narrative is firmly present within the environment yet little is mentioned of it, thus allowing for some extrapolation by the player. The more tense combat encounters are accompanied by Yuka Kitamura's masterful work as a sound designer and composer, which has been developed throughout nearly a decade of work on other similar games by From Software. Though its identity is distinctly its own, Elden Ring nonetheless shares many similarities with its predecessors, the Dark Souls trilogy and Bloodborne, and truly feels like the culmination of From Software's work on them. Of the many video games I have tried throughout the last decade, my experience with Elden Ring is confidently my favorite. Despite what I've attempted to convey, this game simply must be experienced personally to truly appreciate it.… Expand

    Horrible frame rate, horrible frame pacing, horrible latency, horrible boss hitbox!
    All for an ugly game with oldgen graphics
    The xbox serie x version is a real spit of From Software in the face of xbox gamers!
    Shameful optimization that makes the game unplayable the worst game I've seen since cyberpunk 2077 day one.

    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.

    Elden ring is not a perfect game but it is a good one, and if you are a fan of previous soulsborne games you will most likely enjoy this game.

Elden ring also has a few technical issues, like server issues that will hopefully be cleaned up fairly soon and some texture and occasionally enemy pop in.The open world also has a bit of a lower level of quality compared to the more detailed and interesting legacy dungeons, but none the less the open world is still rich with things to do and find. Sometimes the world can look a little outdated graphically but there are moments that truly do shine. Like when you are standing on top of a tower looking over to see the castle you have just finished fighting a challenging boss in, or the dense forest you escaped moments before. The bosses in elden ring vary from being great to more on the level of filler. Not that they are poorly designed just that you may fight a boss and then a have very similar enemy appear somewhere else that is just considered a slightly stronger foe in your path or multiple similar bosses scattered around the world, which can feel a little repetitive. Overall though the experience, designs of dungeons, enemies, sometimes breathtaking vistas, interesting characters and a very well detailed world and lore. Triumphs most of the issues that can be found with Elden ring. This is a game any fan of fromsoftware should pickup, and any interested new comers should maybe watch a few YouTube videos on, to understand what kind of experience they are going to get them selves into before purchasing.… 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.
