    What more can be said of the pinnacle game by the From Software team. I'm a big SoulsBourne fan and Elden Ring takes the best game play mechanics from all the Souls, Bloodbourne and Sekiro games into a open world masterpiece. I got this recently for the Xbox (I already have it for PS5 on launch day) to prepare for the DLC this month "Shadow of the Erdtree". This way my son and I can play on our respective systems. (there is no cross play for Elden Ring btw)

    Haven't gotten that deep into this game yet and I'm having a little trouble getting started. The graphics are pretty good and I've heard it's a cool game. I guess time will tell! The price was lower at best buy than other places.

    One of Fromsoftware’s best. Would be a 10/10 if not for the repeated mini-bosses.

    Im not a fan of Dark Souls an im not really into this. Now before the crying start understand my games I play a 110% of the time are offline story-driven action open world RPG(So stuff the go back to Fortnite/COD junk). Also I have found nothing graphically that shows "Next-gen" on XSX. No I'm not saying it's a bad looking game because it is not it's actually very beautiful. But it's nothing NEXT-LEVEL. The Story and Gameplay doesn't really pull me in nor keep me entertained. Im not a Fan of From Software an this game hasnt Changed that.

    The case had a slash/cut on the front. The rear of the case was cracked/smashed. I was disappointed. The game was priced fairly. I look forward to finishing it.

    I have to start by stating that this is my first time trying to tackle one of From Software's notoriously difficult titles. So how is it? In a nutshell, exceptional! Visually striking, the beautiful open world is just an absolute joy to explore and behold. That is until you get mercilessly slaughtered by by just about any living creature within proximity. The gameplay mechanics are smooth and rpg elements are deep and layered. Its a system that is easy to pick up but takes some serious dedication and hard work to master. And that really is the beauty behind the beast. At first this game is torture. You will die. A lot. A whole lot. I found myself getting frustrated and having to walk away quite often. "Thats it!", "I'm done with this crap!!". But credit to the design, somehow like an addicted masochist I kept coming back for more. Then eventually after hours of agony and suffering something just clicks. Suddenly you just get it. And after a little leveling up then this game truly starts to shine! The sense of accomplishment and joy of finally getting that mini boss back for all the beatings you took is unparalleled. The freedom of the open world is truly amazing. And that first victory pushes you to go forward to tackle that next big challenge only to get wiped out like bug and start the whole process again!! For a game to be so difficult yet so enjoyable and rewarding has to be one the greatest achievements in gaming. Never have I embraced the punishment so happily and can't wait to suffer some more. An excellent game that genuinely impressed and also feels so refreshing and different than everything thing else out there. Highly recommended!

    So I'm certainly latecomer to this game, but all the hype that I've heard, is absolutely accurate! The game has an immense amount to do, I've also died in the game several times, I'm sure there's many more to come, but it's fun challenging and there are several ways to play it. I would highly recommend this game if you're looking for a game that you can really Drive into and embrace the world the creators have made for us to enjoy. If you're looking for again that's going to be challenging and fun, this is like three of the game for you!

    Soundtrack, visuals, animation, combat, rpg elements, exploration are top notch. The difficulty is not as bad as some say. Because if you struggle with a boss, then you can go somewhere else to find better gear/spells/skills/level up then come back to beat the boss. You can even look up guides to make an OP built to cheese some bosses. Only downside IMO is I wish regular monster were a bit weaker since they become tedious especially if they are in a group or in a tight quarters. I stopped after 80hrs for this reason but this is a game I'll come back many times

    Elden Ring is a masterpiece. This game brings a relentlessly challenging combat to an incredible open world that gave me the freedom to choose my own path. I loved playing this game and I recommend it to everyone that is willing to put the time in.

    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).
