Decent RPG needs a little polish early on.

Elden ring is a solid RPG with an good storyline but does have an under performing training section you will learn the basics and should be fine once getting into the actual game.

If you’re a veteran of the Dark Souls/Bloodborne universe created by Miyazaki, you know what to expect. Those newcomers who think this will be drastically different…are wrong.
The game is open world this time, so it definitely gives you more freedom to explore on your own schedule. That helps a lot but the combat is still painfully difficult and likely will put off a lot of first timers. I’m used to this unique genre but I still find myself looking for info via online guides and videos. I think that’s what Miyazaki wants…players to create a shared community where they discuss tips and share ideas about how to tackle certain areas. I admire that but it can feel a little exhausting at times, to constantly head to the internet in the middle of a session.
This world is so richly detailed and intricate though, that you can easily spend hours on just one small area. The sense of discovery is great here. More patient gamers will be rewarded. Those who wish to rush through won’t get the full experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this game but it’s certainly not for everyone!

Phenomenal. Challenging, brutal and beautiful, Elden Ring’s expansive open world provides an opportunity for even the most experienced gamers to get lost in the magic of exploration and combat.

The combat in this game feels better than other Souls games, as does the difficulty curve. It feels like there are more save points as well. The world here is great. This part feels modern and I wish more game world designers would design like this where side paths and structures feel natural in there placement and some can take you on branching paths elsewhere vs in most open world games where most things feel like the developer was obligated to put the thing where it was and the logic on why it was there is flimsy. Now, onto the not so good things. The graphics and performance is just OK at best. Really, by now, FromSoftware should have learned how to make a solid 30fps game, with character models and textures that don't look like they were upres'd from a PS2 game. Some animation is a bit janky as is the norm in Souls games. There's certainly a lot to like here, so the negatives feel less impactful to me as they do in like Dark Souls 1.

Do you enjoy video games that suck the very life and soul from your withered corpse and reward your slightest miscue or mistep with instant and brutal death?! Do you enjoy making up new and inventive curse words because you've already used all the regular ones and are as fluent in them as if you've been at sea for 18 months due to all the painful and swift death layed upon you by the unforgiving tyrannical butt weasel (yes I said "butt weasel") that is Elden Ring?! If so, look no further than this game.. Having said all of that, the graphics are amazing as is the game play. Ive spent hours upon hours already playing/dying/cussing and enjoying every minute of this game.

The folks down at From Software didi it again with this new release. Such an outstanding game from both a story and gameplay perspective, my only gripe being it not being an even longer game.

VERY difficult. No direction from the game on how to proceed or where to go. You’re just dropped in the middle of a HUGE world and basically told “there you go.” Definitely not for beginner gamers. With that being said, great game play and it’s fun.

Best game ever hands down. Definitely a huge learning being a new souls player. So good. Beat it five times and twice on two different consoles. Must play for everyone. From music , to graphics and story telling. Milena is my home background on all my devices.

Elden Ring is a very challenging game ,It will take 60 plus hours to finish this gem . It defly has to be played at least 3 times to find every secret.
