What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Elden Ring, while imperfect, is the best implementation of an open-world action RPG that I've ever played.
Enough about the story, it speaks for itself, lets start with the graphics, the first time I saw this game running on a machine, I almost cried, I could not believe that this was not real life, the graphics in this game are so unreal its like watching a high resolution video.
•Compared to the other Dark Souls stories, Elden Ring's story feels the most digestible at face value without feeling completely puzzled from the outset.
Voice acting is good, doesn't get cringy and doesn't try to be over dramatic when there is no reason to.
You will cry multiple times at the sheer difficulty of this modern age masterpiece.
Sneak attacks, jump attacks, ashes of war, NPC summons, mounted combat, guard counters, power-stancing, and everything else feels very, very good.
