    One of the best games I have ever played, i am 40 years old and absolutly live this game. It is not easy for sure but it is a fair game and a stunning one. I can only recomend this game 100% and try it for your self. In xbsx runs perfect. You will love it!

    Game is fantastic, runs perfectly fine (not sure what everyone is playing it, a microwave perhaps or just haters). The game is a fantastic 10/10, if you e never played a souls game before your going to struggle which is possibly where the negative reviews came from. To their people it’s a hard game learn the movements and you’ll be fine.

    This is my first type of dark souls type of game i have ever played. The only reason i gave it a chance is because im a open world SNOB. At first, I hated the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Si has jugado toda la saga Souls este sin duda es un juego obligatorio. El gameplay evoluciona, la forma de contar la historia es igual pero quizas algo mas sencilla de seguir que en los souls (aunque bastante menos que en Sekiro). Como punto debatiblemente negativo está que tiene muchas mazmorras opcionales y jefes opcionales claro esta.estos jefes suelen reciclarse en este tipo de mazmorras pero digamos que son cosas opcionales que solo sirve n para conseguir nuevas armas/hechizos, y aun asi se hace entretenido de completar, no me resulto un drama pero entiendo que a alguna gente esto puede molestarle.
    En resumen: gran gameplay, gran ambientación, gran música, gran historia, grandes personajes pero las cosas opcionales del juego aveces son repetidas (aunque con variaciones)    … Expand

    This is my first game from FromSoft and so far my experience has been challenging but so rewarding. I haven’t felt this way about an open world game since Breath of the Wild.

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

    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

    First off if you think Elden ring is “too hard” you’re not taking advantage of the games mechanics, there are plenty of ways to make the game easier if not too easy at times to be considered a souls game .

First time playing I found it difficult until I figured out what areas to go to first and where to come back too. The areas in elden ring are set up perfectly to where you can progress without a serious challenge depending where you go next. If you have a problem with leveling up then you have yet to explore many areas because I found myself getting too strong for the main game . Lastly I hear a lot of complaints about the story being too hard to understand and I’m gonna tell you right now it’s only hard if you can’t put 2 and 2 together . You’re gonna need to google some words and maybe play the game a few times but you will understand the story as long as you can read and have an expanded vocabulary. Nearly every item description plays a role in telling you the story, you NEED to take your time and remember what npcs tell you . If you’re not able to do these things you will not understand anything and have a hard time for sure. And if you’re not willing to put in the work of unraveling this incredible story then don’t even bother writing a review about something you haven’t even fully experienced… 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.
