Rarely is a game so playable on its release day as Elden Ring. It is a truly polished (and extremely punishing) game. The unique story telling from FromSoftware puts me right back in my Dark Souls days. If you like tough games and adapting/improving, this is the game for you. If you dislike failing and are against adversity, stay away.

Maybe not my type of game because of the difficulty and steep learning curve. But I can definitely appreciate the amount of effort and beauty that this game has. Absolutely gorgeous.

I debated this game and almost didn't get it. Fromsoft games are brutally difficult. Im so glad i got it. It's one of the most well made in rewarding games I've ever played. In over 30 years of gaming this is easily become one of my favorite games of all time

I got this for my fiance because he adores Dark souls series, and this is very similar. He plays it all the time since it has come out and loves how much of a challenge it is to play. I also love watching him go through the story and watching the fights, and seeing the scenery which can be very beautiful and cool!

10/10 would recommend. Elden Ring has given me hours of playing time with continued content coming, PvP additions and changes as well as potential CDLs. The game is expansive, challenging, and just good plain old exciting/fun.

great game! haven't had a single bug which in my experience in this type of massive game is rare. The open world is huge! It is very challenging but that keeps you coming back for more. I really appreciate not having to have online connection to play as well. Very impressed and happy with this purchase

This is simply one of the best games I've ever played. However, for any prospecting buyer, I have to warn that this is not a game that everyone is able to complete. The difficulty is incredibly hard and you absolutely have to be very good at video games if you want any chance of beating it. However, it's still entirely possible for anyone to learn the combat system even if you haven't played a Souls-like or other similar games like Monster Hunter. As long as you have the patience to learn from your mistakes and adapt to your enemies, Elden Ring will be one of the best games you'll ever play!

Though it has a single player mode, the bosses are extremely hard to get past. It was also a little confusing on how to level up your character causing me to search youtube for advice. Other than that, the game play is pretty darn good and I enjoy the expansive environment there is to explore. I would also like to see an off line version of the game so it could be played without internet accesss.

This game may not be for everybody but it is a phenomenal game.
Pros - Large, open world game that focuses on self-guided exploration and allows you to explore and progress anywhere, anytime.
The graphics, music, sound effects, etc. are all fantastic and really add to the experience.
Any character class that you start with can morph or change into whatever your playstyle desires with a focus on melee or magic or both.
Possible Cons for some but I think is also a pro - The game isn't going to guide you, it offers a tutorial but is not forgiving my any means. Some players have complained that it is too hard, and at first I started to agree. However, after playing and getting used to the mechanics and how the enemies interact, the game becomes quite fulfilling and satisfying.
I like the partnering capability to ask for help from other players on some of the boss fights but also like the option of using NPCs to help (Ashes of War).

This is quite possibly the best game I have ever played. The open world, the challenging combat, and the incredible boss fights. I highly recommend to those who want to face an incredibly challenging but magical experience.

While I bought this copy for my dad (and I wonder how he'll do with it given it will be his first FromSoft game), I have it as well. Some bosses are difficult, but not unfairly so. It's the easiest Souls game in my opinion, so a great entry point for anyone wanting a more challenging action RPG experience. As for length, I clocked just under 60 hours having explored almost every zone and beating every major boss; I also am fairly experienced and moved quickly, so I'm sure 80+ could be expected for a first-timer, even more if you dig in every nook and cranny before moving on.

I love it. Challenging but fair. A complete game with no micro transactions. Everything is out in the massive and highly populated world for you to get. Can be extremely frustrating at times but all in all is a really fun game

I died like 50 times during the first hour and almost gave up but I kept on trying. Now I'm 24 hours in and it has become really enjoyable. Im still dying all the time tho.

Very nice departure from the brutally hard Bloodborne / ____ Souls games, now simply transitioning into the "ultra-hard realm". Loving the open world setting, storylines, and side quests. An absolute, "gotta have" gem!!!

Yes, there is an easy mode. I'm a chill gamer, I don't like to stress out when playing a game. I started my character to use a sword but I died a lot, too much, so I started over and went with all Magic (Astrologer) and this is the way to go if you want to play on "easy". I grinded in the first area and got my character up to level 17 with most points in INT and now I one-shot most enemies with magic. There are guides on YouTube that will show you how to get a good staff and spell super early and then you are set. This game is something special and you won't regret the purchase. I waited so long to get it because I thought it would be too stressful to play. Sometimes it is still stressful but the exploration and secrets makes it SO worth it. Have fun!
