Edge MagazineMar 24, 2022100Not for the first time, a Miyazaki game has arrived and the landscape appears transformed. As you play, there is a sense of plates shifting beneath you, of the T&Cs; of game development being hastily rewritten. We haven't felt this way since "Breath of the Wild." Here, as there, an open world means freedom and fresh air. [Issue#370, p.96]

Feb 23, 2022100I've absolutely enjoyed my time with Elden Ring, and while I'd say my expectations were high prior to playing the game, those expectations have certainly been met or even exceeded along my journey. It feels like a culmination of everything FromSoftware has accomplished in the genre so far, offering up a robust world with tons of exploration married to the unique combat we've come to expect from their previous titles. I can't necessarily say that there's enough changes here that will appeal to people who have bounced off of Souls games previously, but it's such a great looking (and playing) game that I think if you enjoy action-RPG's in the slightest that it's still worth a shot. And of course if you're already a FromSoftware fan, then I'd imagine you're already on board, and I can safely say that you won't be disappointed.

Feb 23, 2022100Elden Ring is a constantly surprising adventure that has taken FromSoftware's tried-and-tested formula to delirious new heights. One of the best video games of the last decade, and an absolutely essential release, Elden Ring really does confirm that 2022 is off to an incredible start.

Mar 2, 2022100Elden Ring took the best parts of previous FromSoftware games and expanded them across a living open-world with endless discovery, excitement, and danger. It's not lost the edge of previous titles, but it is the most approachable FromSoftware game yet, and is an excellent point for players to jump in on if they've not tried previous titles. While its technical issues can be annoying, even they can't dampen the experience of playing Elden Ring. FromSoftware's latest is an artistic, innovative and cultural achievement like nothing before it.

Mar 22, 202295All things considered, Elden Ring is a crowning achievement for FromSoftware but also for gaming. It takes the overused open world formula and flips it with a focus on exploration and freedom. It eliminates those limiting markers and quest objectives which every game since The Witcher 3 has used and that have really dampened the open world formula. For a game all about tradition, with its fantasy aesthetic and kings or rulers, it is amazing that Elden Ring breaks the mold and tradition by making such a compelling and intriguing experience. Once the bugs have been ironed out, there is no doubt in my mind that Elden Ring will be looked upon as one of the best games ever created despite the difficulty. It will be looked upon as a genre defining classic.

Feb 27, 202293Although I still find the original Dark Souls to be FromSoftware's magnum opus, Elden Ring is an undeniably amazing game. At the end of the day, it's sure to delight most Souls veterans but it probably won't convert many non-fans.

PLAYMar 7, 202280Elden Ring needed to be fresh and bold, and it succeeds, putting you in charge of your own adventure. However the open world has some uneven terrain. [Issue#12, p.80]

They only care about those things and not the true experience of the game. This game is a masterpiece through and through. It feels like a real adventure. You can go anywhere you want. Yes it's difficult, but it's fair, and you can always go and do something else to level up and then come back and take care of business. This game is a game changer!... Expand

It's slow and clunky and mostly its just dying a bunchIt's a beautiful game with awesome areas and cool enemies but imo the combat is crap. It's slow and clunky and mostly its just dying a bunch until you understand the enemy patterns and there's alot of recycled bosses as well.
