Its pretty good

Bloodhound’s fang goes crazy, absolutely love this game

I am kind of reluctant to give this game a rating, because I put it down for ages and only finally picked it up again over the past week, when I was already at the tail end of the game. I'll give some scattered thoughts though.

Putting Elden Ring down for so long meant that after having played most of the game a long time ago, I picked it up and basically did a boss run which included all of the most difficult bosses that the game has to offer. In some ways doing that kind of soured it in a way that one long and focused playthrough might not have, just because the experience of actually exploring the world itself would have been much fresher on my mind.

Elden Ring is definitely not a perfect game. I'm really not that huge on some of its boss design, some of it comes across like FromSoft were just extremely eager to top themselves on the difficulty front, and were less interested in designing a boss that is actually fun to fight. Difficult bosses are all well and good, but some of these fights are just tedious, to the point that they might actually prevent me from ever wanting to pick it up again. Oh, and there are also a lot of recycled bosses in Elden Ring, which kind of serve to undermine the initial fights you had with them.

FromSoft's tendancy for designing cryptic quests that require walkthroughs is also starting to get on my nerves. I'd like to spend more time actually playing the game, over watching a walkthrough on youtube every time I want to make some progress. This wasn't as annoying in Dark Souls, just by virtue of the fact that it wasn't a huge, sprawling open world game where the problem becomes much more abundant.

After airing my grievences though, I do have to make it completely clear, Elden Ring at its best is one of the most atmospheric, beautiful and engrossing video games I have ever played.

On the flipside of the cryptic quests, FromSoft never shoves the stories or the lore of their games down your throat, making you actively seek out answers if you really want to understand their games, and Elden Ring's world is so engrossing that it's very immersive and satisfying to discover it yourself.

Jogaço, só não é nota 5 pq o boss final é mais covarde que o Tiago Vanz.

I hate this game.
Not because of it's amazing story.
Not because of it's amazing soundtrack.
Not because of it's amazing boss fights.
But because of the fact that majority of players will use Youtube to complete this game.
If a game requires you to look for other resources, that already brings it down a few marks.
But yes, Elden Ring is fucking amazing. That's my only gripe.


First Souls-like game, and I get why people like these.

never played, cant wait to start it

A open world that pushes you ever foward to explore. Beautiful zones with different mysteries, layers and layers of great level design.

Things I loved:
Exploration, side quests, items, art direction, soundtrack, Bosses, variety in gameplay and characters/Lore.

Some dungeons and content around the world might feel repetitive after sometime playing. But for me, the reward after dungeons kept me wanting to explore it.

Je joue à quoi moi mtn après un tel banger ?

This game did almost everything right! Open-world souls are fantastic and don't feel forced; nothing feels unnecessary. The one problem is the level scaling at the end of the game and repeating bosses, but repeating bosses can be forgiven.

EldenRing me introduziu ao mundo dos soulslikes e definitivamente foi uma das melhores coisas que me ocorreu.

Esse jogo traz um mundo aberto único, com um visual SACANAGEM, muitas referências a obras grandes do darkmedieval como Berserk.

A gameplay beira a perfeição. Se você morreu provavelmente foi culpa sua, ou você não esta forte o suficiente para àquela área

Absolute masterpiece, I can talk about this game for days but I'll sum it up simpler. The games open world is one of the best we have ever seen. The world has a deep lore structure that oozes out as you play. The game has amazing art direction and absolute beauty. The music is also great too and of course the game holds some of the best boss fights in gaming.

Played Single player, on New game 2+

Seamless co-op mod:
Me and my brother love it, this game is amazing alone or with others.

playing it isnt enough i need this game in my ass

The developers fuck with you multiple times in the starter area. It’s really funny and I love it.

Such a phenomenal game, I'm really glad people who are new to souls games have a nice jumping off point. but I think it sacrifices a lot of the things like complex level design, and some of the more interesting parts of the old combat system that fans have come to expect.

A game with a fair few flaws but I just don't really care as I haven't had this much fun in a game in a while. Such incredible and intuitive open world design that actually feels like exploration. With some awesome bosses and cool story. Will never forget this first playthrough.

As 300h de jogo que mais passaram desapercebidas na minha vida, preciso terminar de zerar e platinar no PC

Mundo abierto perfecto manchado por algo de repetitividad en sus cuevas con la única finalidad de añadir horas artificiales

My first souls game finished to completion, and not a second felt wasted. This game brought back the feeling of total immersion that games can rarely bring me to these days. Masterpiece

if an RPG doesnt come out with the polish of elden ring, I am not playing it

El mapa es enorme de narices, enemigos y bosses guapisimos, mucha exploracion, varias historias secundarias con npcs y zonas, graficos excelentes. Muy largo

Balls were bleeding, sweating, tearing. 10/10


5 stars specifically for whichever programmer that managed to optimize this thing so well that it runs flawlessly on my ps4 slim

je vais l'avoir ce chevalier de l'arbre de merde la fdp

Maliketh: Oh death, become my blade once more.
Malenia: I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella, and i've never known defeat.
Radahn: RRRRRAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! (Best character fr)

Elden Ring is Huge, quite frankly massive. and It could be said, and will be said, by me, that it was TOO big for its own good.

Elden Ring is a good game, a damn good game and I absolutely can see why people think it is one of the best games of all time, but to me it's not. If anything I was disappointed because I've heard all of that and it didn't quite hit for me and It's a shame. However I will summarise it quickly before I go more in depth.

Elden Ring is Dark Souls 2 done right.

Gameplay - Elden Ring is the Gameplay of Dark Souls 3 but more refined and with more QoL features which allow for more fun and varied gameplay... If you don't like challenge. Elden Ring is one of the easiest games in this genre, if not the easiest aside from a few boss fights which were unfairly difficult like Malenia... which I have pure hatred and PTSD of "I AM MALENIA BLADE OF MIQUELLA" taunting on me with every death. Nontheless, if you're looking for a soulsborne game to start with ER is a perfect start for it. Alongside that, if You are a veteran you will absolutely adore the massive variety of playstyles and builds I don't believe many other games can say is possible.

Story - beautiful worldbuilding created by GRRM and built upon by Miyazaki. But other than its lore I believe it is Other than Dark souls 2) the weakest overall story of the catalogue. It is a shame as it had some really good building up but it never really hit. I must absolutely say, I love how I played through the game and found I missed so many people, forgot about others, and only finished a few stories. This is very well done and opens up for more playthroughs, which I will eventually get around to another year.

World - Other than my thoughts on it being maybe too large for it's own good, the most major positives of the game come from the first 2/3s of the game, absolutely beautifully paced until the mountaintops, stunning design with brilliant level design. This is always FromSoft in their element and here is no different. Even the mountaintops is only meh at worst and not even bad. What's been said by most reviews here I will have to say for this. Unbelievable world design.

Bosses - worst part of this game, while being extremely awesome to see and fight initially. most bosses turn out to be redone over and over and over through the game, on top of this I believe a lot of bosses were made unfairly and unfun, like Malenia, like Hourax Loux etc. they could've balanced these bosses so much better.

To summarise, this game is flawed but still great, not on the same level asmost FromSoft Games but far from bad, an unbelievable world, mazing score, great lore and incredibly done gameplay make this games positives really high, but it's bad enemy layouts, reused bosses, bad storytelling make the game unable to reach 5 Stars and thus

I give this game an 8.75/10

definitely buy it

I'll be playing the DLC and will make a separate review for it, I'm very excited
