THE NEW FANTASY ACTION RPG.
Rise, Tarnished, and be guided by grace to brandish the power of the Elden Ring and become an Elden Lord in the Lands Between.

• A Vast World Full of Excitement
A vast world where open fields with a variety of situations and huge dungeons with complex and three-dimensional designs are seamlessly connected. As you explore, the joy of discovering unknown and overwhelming threats await you, leading to a high sense of accomplishment.

• Create your Own Character
In addition to customizing the appearance of your character, you can freely combine the weapons, armor, and magic that you equip. You can develop your character according to your play style, such as increasing your muscle strength to become a strong warrior, or mastering magic.

• An Epic Drama Born from a Myth
A multilayered story told in fragments. An epic drama in which the various thoughts of the characters intersect in the Lands Between.

• Unique Online Play that Loosely Connects You to Others
In addition to multiplayer, where you can directly connect with other players and travel together, the game supports a unique asynchronous online element that allows you to feel the presence of others.

Who Has Time for This?

The Good

  • The vast open world is visually stunning and immersive, with a variety of environments to explore.

  • The combat system is complex and deep, but can be rewarding for those who enjoy the challenge and the grind for rare gear.

  • The game has a strong focus on lore and storytelling, with memorable characters and a well-crafted world.

    The Bad

  • Elden Ring is incredibly difficult, with even the simplest encounters proving to be a challenge for many players. This high level of difficulty may be off-putting for those who are not familiar with the genre.

  • The open world is often empty and repetitive, with little to do outside of combat. The lack of content can make the game feel like a chore rather than an enjoyable experience.

  • The story can be convoluted and confusing, making it difficult for me to become invested in the game's narrative.

  • The lack of fast travel options can make traversing the world a tedious and time-consuming experience.

  • The game can be overly reliant on trial-and-error, with little indication or guidance on how to progress or overcome challenges.

  • The game's boss battles can be unfair and imbalanced, with some requiring precise timing and execution that feels more like luck than skill.

    The Bottom Line
    Despite its beautiful visuals and impressive combat system, Elden Ring falls short of expectations. Its extreme difficulty and lack of content make it a frustrating experience. The convoluted story also fails to provide a compelling reason to continue playing. Overall, I cannot recommend Elden Ring to anyone but the most dedicated fans of the Soulsborne genre. I was hoping this would be "the one" to better convince me that there might be something more to the Soulsborne genre. Unfortunately, it did not.

The Perfect RPG experience

The Good
Everything about this game, from how smooth combat is to how incredible the spells and graphics look.

The Bad
Nothing. It may be difficult for some.

The Bottom Line
The Best Fromsoftware game to date and the greatest RPG experience I have ever had.

Windows · by JiroMagic · 2023

excelente

The Good
o mundo aberto desse jogo é simplesmente marilhoso, e por ser um souls like é ainda mais cativante

The Bad
uma hora começa a se repetir demais os bosses em dungeons, mas de certa forma seria normal pra um jogo tão gigante

The Bottom Line
jogaria de novo quantas vezes fossem necessárias pra entender tudo, vou comprar um ps5 pra platinar tudo
