ELDEN RING

Probably the best soulsborne game FromSoft has made so far. It's literally DS3 but open world. With 109 unique bosses tight controls and amazing visuals you'll never be bored.

Game of the year. Great intro into the souls type genre of games and once you figure out how the story works and how much freedom you have it gets even better. Don’t sleep on Elden Ring

So far, awesome game! My husband didn't have any interest in buying the game, but I did. So I grabbed it on sale. I played it the first night. Since then, he's been on it day-in-and-day-out! It appears I'm not the only one who's enjoying it. :) I'm definitely rusty when it comes to these types of games, so I was getting my butt handed to me. It's a very nice-looking game though. Surprisingly, I can play it on "high" graphics on a low-graphics laptop.

This game is awesome! Honestly probably one of the best FromSoft games. Pretty crazy how it did not disappoint AND with competent patches coming out to fix some things about the game. Great support by the Dev team.

My first "Souls" game, and I'm hooked. It's a great balance of challenging gameplay and exploration that encourages becoming stronger as a character and a player.

I'm a fairly recent FromSoft fan - Sekiro was my first game, and I fell in love with it in a way I have with few games over the years. Tried Dark Souls 3 next, and while I liked it enough to beat it, it wasn't as memorable to me personally. Elden Ring was a bit of a gamble, since it obviously leans closer to DS3 than Sekiro, but I'm glad I took that risk! After 85 hours of getting absolutely absorbed in it to the point where I have now completed all the achievements (save-scummed the alternate endings, sue me), I agree it is worth the hype, though with a few significant flaws. The open world is a huge upgrade to the linearity of DS3. So much content packed into this game, and all of it at least good. Unfortunately, there is a decent range in the quality of said content, but that's bound to happen in a game this large. I loved exploring the world, and I felt rewarded for it in a way no other open world game has so far. The main bosses are generally good. They were great in the first 1/2 or 2/3, with the last 1/3 seeming like the devs were afraid the game would be too easy for FromSoft vets, so they pulled out as much BS as they could. A few of the late-game bosses are unfortunately marred with a bit too much nastiness that pushes those fights from hard-yet-engaging to frustrating-and-unsatisfying. That being said, the majority were still amazingly fun, even if a few of them were soured. Other enemy quality is much more hit-or-miss. I found myself running through more and more of the later areas just because too many of the enemies would be fast/long-range/large groups/whatever just to get on my nerves. It's a shame, since some of the later areas are the most interesting visually, but I didn't take the time to dwell there because it wasn't worth getting ambushed by 4+ creatures again. Combat and movement are a solid improvement on the DS3 formula, but unfortunately it is still derivative of DS3. I was really hoping, after the amazing system they had in Sekiro, they'd take more cues from that, but it was not to be I suppose. Horse-riding is a much-needed quality-of-life improvement, along with jumping and excellent weapon variety. Customizable weapon skills are also a great addition. I didn't get to try out sorceries yet, but the incantations were pretty diverse and spectacular, though I found later ones to be weaker generally than the earlier ones. All-in-all, definitely worth it. Best open-world game I've played perhaps ever. Sekiro is still my...

I tried my best to avoid the hype and wait a month to play this (or find a sale). Finally, I bit the bullet and bought it. It's a great Souls game. I miss the tightly interconnected world of Dark Souls, but there are small pockets of it in the hundreds of dungeons scattered around the world. A great pick up and play game. Beat a major dungeon, take a break, and come back and do it all again. Dark Souls 1 is still the King for me, but this is a close #2.

Excelent Game! a whole new experience for Souls saga games
