A rewarding, content-packed evolution of the FromSoftware formula that opens the Souls structure into a massive, indifferent open world worth exploring. Standout boss battles, deep build variety, and additions like Ashes of War and summons make it more approachable, while exploration consistently rewards persistence. Weak spots include a disappointing final boss, performance hitches, reused bosses, an unintuitive co-op system, and an obtuse story, but the sheer scope easily outweighs them.
Ambitious but plagued by poor tutorials, confusing quests, and excessive platforming. Satirical critique.
Game of the year and decade contender with 100+ hours of content.
Masterpiece of open-world design translating From Software formula into massive seamless world with unparalleled exploration.
Initial Elden Ring impressions focusing on open world design and exploration. Beautiful world with good progression but controller scheme is poor.
An incredible game with massive scale and creative enemy design held back significantly by terrible balance and poor difficulty tuning. Dunkey beat it 4 times because the core world design is phenomenal, despite broken damage scaling and unfair endgame difficulty.
Masterpiece that delivers astounding world scale with refined combat and accessibility options. FromSoftware's most open and accessible souls-like, enabling new audiences to experience genre.
After 112 hours, reviewers remain engaged and enthusiastic about the game's depth, systems, and replayability. The extensive playthrough demonstrates continued enjoyment with NPC questlines, boss variety, and character build diversity.
Elden Ring delivers an exceptional open-world souls experience with rewarding exploration and meaningful mechanics.
10 hours into network test is impressive with rewarding exploration and boss fights; frame rate drops and input issues are minor concerns before final release.
Combat depth, build variety, Spirit Ashes, and exceptional world design; some repeating mini-bosses and camera issues but overall masterpiece.
An unmissable expansion that stands as a staggering achievement in worldbuilding and game design, delivering 30 hours of masterfully crafted dark fantasy adventure that rivals the original game.
