FINAL. (Aviso: ... MUCHO TEXTO ...) No se cuanto mas se pueda decir de ELDEN RING que no se haya dicho hasta el momento. Yo creo que este juego es una experiencia que puede llevarse de diferentes maneras y creo que es super recomendable sobre todo al publico que disfruta de desafíos, de mundos abiertos y de maravillarse con lo que tranquilamente podría ser una de las mejores OST de la historia. ELDEN RING para mi es GOTY pero NO ES PERFECTO. Tanto el mundo como la duración son extensos sin entenderse realmente la finalidad del mismo .El sistema de crafteo, se usa muy poco y no es para nada relevante. Hay muchos enemigos repetidos, de igual manera que zonas... etc... NO ES PERFECTO.
    Sin embargo hasta el final no deja de maravillarte. Si de a poco logras ir siguiendo la historia, si ademas buscas afuera, en youtube o el canal que mas te guste, el entendimiento del mundo, si te aferras a ciertas Questlines y las llevas hasta el final, es maravilloso desde el punto narrativo.
    La inmersion que se encuentra a traves del arte y la musica es increible.
    El combate por supuesto es desafiante, y el agregado de las invocaciones lo hace mucho mas accesible que sus predecesores.
    El juego en si a veces se ameseta pero en sus picos mas altos es una OBRA MAESTRA SOBRESALIENTE.
    Jugandolo tranqui tarde 8 meses en terminarlo mas o menos. Podes dejar y volver a las Tierras intermedias si estas cansado. Es por este ritmo que aunque sea un juego CARO... me parece super rentable por la cantidad de horas que se le puede dedicar sin inferir en conseguir todos los logros o probar diferentes runs con diferentes builds inclusive.
    En fin... ELDEN RING... SI!    … Expand

The lands between is such an amazing open world map, the fact that everything you can see everything in the distance is really there is baffling, a lot of games simply put a jpg in the background and call it a day but in Elden Ring you can go to anything you see. FromSoftware seriously out-did themselves with this and I cant recommend it enough. Please go play this game.… Expand

Open world is a masterpiece and there is literally something to do everywhere. The variety of weapons, spells and items to use was very impressive and it kept the game addictive and replay-able as there was so many ways to beat and explore the game.

    Radahn is also the best boss in all of soulsborne and one of the best bosses of all time. Another amazing part of the game is Volcano manor- a masterpiece of a side dungeon that has many ways to reach the final boss- the final boss is also amazing as Rykrad is an incredibly fun and cinematic boss fight. The dungeon level designs are mostly perfect as they are not too linear and they give you many things to do in them. Overall a masterpiece of a game.    … Expand

    Elden Ring is an expansive, jaw-droppingly beautiful game with what is probably the best open world in terms of it's scale, every location looks like its out of a piece of concept art for a fantasy world.

So much love and effort was put into the world of this game and I loved every minute of dying over and over in attempts to find treasure in every corner of the map, just to be trapped and transported to a region with outlandish creatures far above my level. You never know what to expect in the world, what abominations await you around ever corner.

    Even better are the Shard Bearer boss battles each in their own region, theme and each with meticulously designed move sets to be just difficult enough to be near impossible at certain levels, but still doable. Exploration is key in this world as it can award you a plethora of unique weapons, magics and summons that can help aid you in these colossal fights with the demi-human giants.

    Gameplay honestly could do with a little tweaking, the lock on system is a little dodgy at times. It isn't bad enough to warrant any kind of negative score for though just a bit of criticism. The starting area is also a little difficult if you aren't familiar with the way the levelling system works. Some items can be scarce at the beginning, but with patience and time you will build up your arsenal slowly and progressively quicker as the game goes on.

    If you are willing to pour dozens of hours into the game you get a fantastic experience, but you have to understand what it is you're getting into, you will die - A LOT - but that gives you the experience you need to progress further into the game. Don't give up, keep trying or come back to that area at a later time with better gear and a new strategy.

It may not be a popular opinion but I think this boss is "ahead of it's time" and it is hands down the greatest boss I have ever played.

    I don‘t understand the bad reviews. Never experienced any frame drops on performance mode and the game looks beautiful. Apart from that the gameplay loop is probably the best I‘ve seen in recent years. Never have I been so addicted to a video game that I played it over 30 hours on the first 3 days and I still only scratched the surface. The game rewards you every time you venture off the

    First off, I love the unforgiving combat system typical of souls-like games. It's a steep learning curve but rewarding when you finally get it down. The visuals are fantastic and at first I enjoyed exploring the open world. In the end, I found the world too open and too repetitive. I can see why some people may love it, but for me I just found it good and not great in the end.

    Superb game with amazing game-play and environments. First time playing I was blown away by the sheer number of things to do, weapons to collect, monsters to kill. And the most importantly, not game passes or micro-transactions.

    GOAT Ring is the best FromSoft title and one of the best games I have ever played. Just a pure joy from gameplay and discovering the world and all of it's secrets. Simply beautiful and most importantly fun.

    An absolute masterpiece and i am not a souls-like lover at all. The menus could have be done better and the ai and the balance the enemies is sometime a mess but from an artistic point of view is something unreachable

This game lives up to all those previous games legacy, with a fantastic world to explore, marvelous combat, weapon as well as magic variety, and wicked bosses. Plus, all of the new mechanics that this game offers to the souls like genre are marvelously done, with the horse feeling pretty good, jumping adding a whole nother layer to combat as well as exploration, and the open world, which is just phenomenal.

    Now, this game isn’t perfect. To start off with there is numerous repeated boss fight’s, and the dungeons are really, in most instances, underwhelming. Overall, this is a game that I would always recommend to fans of the souls series, and I would even recommend anyone who haven’t play the Souls game before, to give this one a shot.    … Expand

    I originally gave this game a negative review on Steam as I found that the lack of direction really hurt the games flow. I still hold that sentiment about Elden Ring.

    I don't expect the game to give me a guided tour or arrows on the hud to tell me where exactly where to go, but at times I was wandering into zones I clearly shouldn't be in, undergeared, not high enough level and still on like 4 flasks to top me up.

    Recently I picked this back up and followed a guide, yes I know what a scrub, but I thought that if I can get a rough guide on what weapons are where, and how I should reasonbly progress, I will then get along with this game. Sure enough, I fell in love.

    Now is this game perfect? No. Is it loyal to it's core audience? Absolutely. If Demon or Dark Souls are something you enjoyed or even love-hated for it's punish factor, you will adore this game.

    The amount of times I just took a minute to appreciate the glorious views is countless, yes even dreary Caelid. Once you get into the swing of things you really can't put the game down, it envelopes you with it's "push on" layout.

    So after clearly with a bit of a guide, I will replay this for sure, might make a meme build or even the Holiest build, Jesus Himself.    … Expand

Elden Ring proves to be a massively intimidating but intensely captivating experience with a focused yet ever expansive goal. The excellence of the world building provided by George R.R. Martin and the powerful writing of Hidetaka Miyazaki mesh extremely well into a very cohesive experience rivalling the most popular intellectual property the fantasy genre has to date. Its use of the visual and interactive medium to convey messages, evoke emotion, and to inspire awe reflect the work of true masters of the craft.

    The game plays as an evolution to From Softwares flagship series, Dark Souls, with an infusion of elements from their more recent breakout hit, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. It goes further to add its own unique characteristic’s providing the player with a large and varied toolset allowing for a wide choice of play-styles. It’s more subtle take on quests is impactful and requires actively engaging with games story in a way many games never come close to accomplishing. As you move through the ever-growing world, you begin to acquire the sense of just how vast the play-space is, and how small and inconsequential you feel in comparison to it. The stories multiple endings provide the ability for a second or third play through with a breath of fresh air, making great use of the games new game plus feature.

    Like all games, it doesn’t come without its flaws though. Its high difficulty being a major barrier to entry is one of the best examples, but stands as one that is important to the fundamental experience itself. Another would be its strange approach to cooperative play, being overly restrictive in the modern era of co-op games. Despite its potential flaws, Elden Ring stands as one of the very few titles worthy of the masterpiece rating.    … 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.
