ELDEN RING Reviews

8/10 unlocked all trophies :) havent played sote yet but hopefully it is as fun and replayable

great game to make you smash your controller jokes aside the vibe and visuals are amazing, story telling is pretty good and replay-ability seems pretty endless gameplay can be tricky most times, but it's a souls-like game so no surprise. there's no game like this to make you feel a level of satisfaction you've never felt before after beating a boss you've been stuck on for ages get this if you're patient and like to learn from mistakes!

I've played this game on 2 separate platforms but it so fun no matter what! From start to finish I've done about 5 different runs, and I never felt burnt out trying different builds and weapons, this game has so much to offer for people who are interested in trying new things! Though I will say having to get up to the point where getting said weapons and gear is quite daunting, the reward after finally pulling it off is soooo satisfying, especially if you're into PvP! I love it a lot, despite the flaws this game has (No covenants or meaningful invasions, multiplayer in general, ect.), but so much passion was poured into every bit of the game's world, and I still find things I haven't seen before every playthrough! It really is a one of a kind open world experience!

Elden Ring feels like a worthy spiritual successor to the Dark Souls trilogy, with the key difference being its vast open world. You explore a hostile medieval-style fantasy landscape filled with castles, catacombs, ruins, colossal trees, magic, legendary weapons, and vile creatures like dragons, the undead, demi-gods, and cosmic horrors. But you aren’t some mighty hero, you’re a weak “Tarnished” tasked with overcoming it all. To reach the ending you only need to engage with a small portion of the world, but most of the optional content is so good that you’ll want to experience it anyway. Huge hidden areas contain game’s-worths of content to discover. And it’s never a waste because it makes you stronger for the main quest as well. For me, this is the best exploration I’ve experienced in any game, and easily Elden Ring’s greatest strength. Graphically, fidelity is good but not groundbreaking; what makes it shine is its art direction. Beautiful landscapes, striking set pieces, and dramatic architecture combine to create a stunning atmosphere. The result is a game that feels more visually striking than anything I’ve played before. Combat is very similar to Dark Souls 3: every button press matters, and you can’t just spam attacks. Brutal enemies force you to play deliberately. My main issue is the difficulty balance. The freedom to go anywhere means the easiest solution to hard fights is often to leave and come back later, which for me led to being overleveled and bulldozing bosses. As a result, I rarely felt the same satisfaction of overcoming tough challenges as in earlier Souls games. Personally I prefer a world that is slightly more closed off then an (almost) fully open world one. On the other hand, this freedom makes the game far less frustrating and more welcoming to newcomers, which is a great thing. Smaller flaws like reused content or specific boss complaints exist but aren’t worth elaborating on here. Calling something a masterpiece is always a bit of an exaggeration but this is certainly close.

Elden Ring is one of the best games I’ve ever played, period. It brought back the sense of wonder I haven’t felt since playing Ocarina of Time for the first time. The world is massive, the combat is deep, and every inch of the map feels meaningful. It respects your time, your curiosity, and your skill. It is a masterpiece.

If you enjoy pain and suffering, definitely buy this game. It will ruin every fiber of your being 10/10

More of the same that you know and love from previous titles like Dark Souls & Bloodborne. Awesome gameplay, beautiful scenes, and a very challenging experience. I especially love the many different weapons you can choose from. Where Elden Ring differs most from it's predecessors is the open world, and it does it better than many other open-world games. Every corner has something new to discover. It could be a weapon, a skill, some lore, or even a path to a completely new part of the map. Maybe even a part of the map you're not really ready for just yet. But you can go there if you want. There is very little hand holding. And if you feel like you are not up for that part just yet, there is always some other place you can go to. The story is like that too. There is no quest journal with lists to follow up on. You either figure out what you need to do, or you just go about your own way. It's tied into the open world experience nicely where sometimes you just happen to run into a familiar face in the middle of a field. The downside to the open world is apparent though. Assets tend to be reused. There are a lot of bosses that you face many times, and many smaller dungeons that you've seen before. Several times I found some cave somewhere that I was hesitant to explore because I already knew what it was going to be like. On the multiplayer side, I was happy to learn that you can play on online mode now without the hassle of being invaded! A very welcome change. The online features like the messages and 'ghosts' really add something to the overall experience. Unfortunately, invaders can still appear if you are co-operating with other people, and it's still an unbalanced mess. On the topic of co-operating, there still is no real coop mode. Which really is a missed opportunity. If you are looking for a great single player experience though, then Elden Ring delivers like no other.

“Elden Ring – A Modern Masterpiece Forged in Pain and Beauty” “This isn’t just a game. It’s a rite of passage.” Elden Ring took everything I loved about Souls games and unleashed it into a world so vast, so rich, and so brutally beautiful that I lost track of time and sometimes, of myself. It’s essentially a more refined and evolved version of Dark Souls with smoother mechanics, better quality of life systems and graphics, and a slightly less maddening difficulty curve that opens the genre to more players without compromising its soul. The graphics are stunning, and the world design? An artistic masterpiece. The map feels like something pulled from the mind of a renaissance painter lost in a nightmare. Every hill, every ruin, every horizon feels intentional and alive. This isn’t just level design—it’s world-building at the level of fine art. The story, though fragmented and cryptic as always, is absolutely brilliant. With George R.R. Martin’s fingerprints on the lore and Miyazaki’s vision guiding it, the result is a mythology that feels ancient, tragic, and deeply human. FromSoftware didn’t just make a game here—they built a myth. The way the art direction, music, gameplay systems and narrative all come together feels like the work of a true artist a modern day genius. If you’re into challenge, exploration, or just want to remember why you fell in love with gaming in the first place this is it. 10/10. I died 300 times, and I’d do it all again.

To start, I want to say that I have a special feeling about this game. If this game is finished, will there be another game like it that will give me that feeling again? 😎️ I think the answer to this question is pretty clear. I think I'll never delete this game from my system and I'm going to keep playing it for seconds, minutes, days, and years without getting tired of it! ^o^ https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3530213855 The game has a great story and the cool thing is that you have an uncharted world to explore and you progress the story based on what you discover. This can be one of the hardest things to do because there is no guidance showing where your path starts and where you will end up, but I think it is beautiful despite its difficulty.The game's story is very heavy and complex, with many choices to make as you find your way through the game and reach the end of the game with the things you have (✿◠‿◠) And the only criticism I can have is the lack of a photo mode in the game. As I said, the game and the game world have a lot of beauty, and the presence of a photo mode could have been a great help in depicting these beauties. But since the game is designed in a way that there is no pause and never will be, the lack of a photo mode is completely logical ^o^ The combat system is simple and is exactly the Souls-like game I've been looking for. Varied builds, diverse enemies, nothing is repetitive here and you have to move forward step by step to be able to deal with all the enemies in the game. As you progress through each world of the game, you realize that the difficulties are just a sentence and you can deal with all those who are stronger than you and bring them to their knees😎️ The game is excellent in every way and is truly a masterpiece of a game with infinite mysteries. After finishing the game several times, I still find things that are new and it is truly beautiful ❤ ❤ ❤ https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3513639118 The graphics and the game world are very beautiful The game world has an endless beauty that will shock you at every moment. Each area of the game has its own beauty and will not be repetitive or boring in any way ^.^ The music of the game with the boss fights and the music of the game itself is so beautiful that it creates epic moments for the players The music is truly a masterpiece I enjoyed it 💚 💚 💚 🦋 🦋 🦋 A world full of mystery, a world full of beauty and a musical masterpiece, and that is what makes this game beautiful 🦋 🦋 🦋 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3531798322 In this review, I tried to share with you some highlights of the game that will at least give you a reason to try it and feel better about its beauty. And I want to assure you that while the game has its challenges, you can overcome them with perseverance and not giving up 😎️❤️ 💙💙💙 I hope you enjoyed it and good luck 💙💙💙 🦋 🦋 🦋 This game, in my opinion, is a symbol of life because in our lives, we also have difficulties and problems that we face day by day, and if we resist and do not give up, the day will finally come when we will overcome the problems 🦋 🦋 🦋

Damn, this game is good. There aren’t many games I finish for the fifth time and still think, “Well, time for round six.” This is one of them.
