    I just love this game. It's my first Formsoftgame and I knew it would be hard but it's also a lot of fun. I don't have issues on PS5 and the graphic is just fine. GOTY for sure!

    Primeiro sous que joguei gostei muito do jogo só falta um pouco mais de gráfico pra ser nota 10
    As quests secundárias são boas demais
    E é cada Boss mais fantástico que o outro
    Top demais

    This is a beautiful game with a challenging and rewarding feedback loop. It elevates the soulsborne genre to new heights and may be the only game I will likely play for the next year and a half. I just can't put it down.

    Its hilarious to me that in all the 0s and 1s review this game is getting, they can only complain about the graphics being last gen and lack of cutscenes. Nothing screams GIT GUD more than seeing reviews like this. Im glad fromsoft have stuck to their guns and kept the handholding out of their games as is their tradition.

    My first time trying a souls style game it is absolutely incredible! Everything in the game encourages exploring and if something is hard you can go farm and come back. I find everything about the world immersive and exciting. The combat is very fun and you have so many options to approach different situations. 10/10!

    does a good job as a exploration game, but:
    - savegame bugs took like 10h of effort, boss killing and farming and weapon and material grinding from me. how does a souls game fail at saving, the previous parts were saving at every opportunity. thats the biggest minus from me

    - the game has no clear red line, hugeass open world and no clear directions, cryptic introductions ruins the fun and drag the story longer the wrong way
    - progression is superslow, if you struggle with your current stats against enemies, you will struggle more in the upcoming regions. monsters get superhard, runes (exp) and smithing materials are very scarce, i wasnt able to get my weapons past +4 after 50h of gameplay. so i used the rapier +8 which you get as a gift after beating some mainstory boss.
    -great runes are a great idea but a greater dissapointment. why do we have to use rune arcs to buff them up? i found in all myhours so far 4-5 rune arcs (similar to humanity and embers) in the open world and those expire once you die and you will probably die every 5 mins once.
    - effing dragons at some endgame location give 3,5k runes... and you need at lvl60 or so around 25k exp for a level up. and dragons would at that point one shot you with basic attacks. the game is super tough, i dont know why they went with that kind of progression design. this game is supposed to be a challenge, not a parkour and avoid monster simulation
    - the trap chests are a nice idea, but can lead anyone who plays without guides into desperation. i for my part hated that idea

    + great enemy variaty
    + great combat gameplay
    + great mounted combat
    + ashes of war and summon noble spirits are a awesome addition to the game
    + awesome looking bosses (which drop almost no usefull weapons or souls which can be turned into weapons)
    + fast travel is also an awesome addition to the game, from any point (except inside traps)
    + the exploration is also awesome, you can explore so many regions thanks to the jump button
    + some regions seriously looked dreamlike, which almost never was the case in any souls game . which mostly has gory stuff and locations    … Expand

    Ahh... The Elden Ring. What an adventure. I haven't had such a good adventure since Breath of the Wild. A game where curiosity rewards, A game that challenges you, a game that is learning you, to step back and comeback later.

    Elden Ring deservers nothing more then a 10 out of 10. The only thing I dislike is that I never can go back to Dark Souls or any other souls game.

    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.

    After 156 hours I completed Elden Ring along with about 95% of the character side quests and all optional and main bosses.

This game has one of the best worlds to explore I've ever seen in any game I have played; the visuals are spectacular and not one single inch feels wasted. One of my favorite things about this game is every weapon and spell looks cool but also feel viable to the point you can pretty much make any build you want. This game is the peak of From Software's design in Dark Souls in giving freedom to the players to play however they want. The fluid combat and the added ability to jump add to the great experience of fighting and exploring in this game. The games story like other soul's games is very obscure but also very rich if you are willing to look for it. The characters are mostly good, but I felt they could have done more with certain ones. Most main game bosses feel and look very cool and are fun to fight. Some people don't like the reuse of enemies throughout the game but overall, I think they did a good job of making them unique to the areas you fight them and the powers they use, making them feel like new enemies. Difficulty wise Elden Ring is probably the 2nd easiest soul's game with Dark Souls 2 being the easiest. With 85 deaths in Elden Ring total, 46 of which were due to Malenia leaving 39 from the rest of the game compared to, 38 deaths in Dark Souls 1, 55 deaths in Dark Souls 3, and 9 deaths in Dark souls 2 (DS2 just felt extremely easy). One problem I had was Malenia and her being able to use her waterfowl dance 5 times in the span of a 2 minutes using it every other attack, if I could change one thing, I would give that move a 60 second cool down after she uses it. Overall, Elden Ring has slight issues with difficulty balancing but they are so small that it doesn't change how amazing this game is.… 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.
