Elden Ring is a resounding step up from today's soul-like standards. FromSoftware thus gestates a video game like no other has created, in which a gigantic and absorbing universe will surprise players again and again despite the dozens of hours they accumulate. Elden Ring is, without a doubt, one of the great candidates to become the GOTY of 2022.
Ars Technica - Kyle Orland - Unscored
I can appreciate that Elden Ring doesn't want to hold a player's hand and gently guide them to the next point of interest, as so many other games do. But that lack of guidance often seems to slip into a willingness to let a player wander aimlessly if they're not careful. Players who use guides or rely on the in-game hints from other players may not feel this issue so acutely, but aimlessness has been a major feature of my time with the game so far.
Attack of the Fanboy - William Schwartz - Unscored
Elden Ring is an absolute must-play game for 2022, but set aside some time and some patience.
But Why Tho? - Arron Kluz - 9 / 10
Even with its few issues, Elden Ring is an absolute triumph that will surely please all of the many players eager to get their hands on it. From Software’s track record with the genre has been incredible to see, especially as so many competitors have tried their hands at it with very few finding success. The studio is truly the master of soulsborne games, and Elden Ring proves that conclusively.
CGMagazine - Preston Dozsa - 9.5 / 10
Elden Ring is an epic. With a beautifully designed open world, FromSoftware takes the Souls formula to new heights and crafts a journey that needs to be played.
Cerealkillerz - Gabriel Bogdan - German - 9.5 / 10
Elden Ring surpasses all expectations, eliminates all doubts that we had and surprises more than any other soulsborne game so far. If you can live with rare repetitive bossfights and enemy appearances due to the open world design, you'll get the most extensive and exciting game FromSoftware has created so far.
Checkpoint Gaming - Elliot Attard - 9.5 / 10
The hype behind Elden Ring was always going to be a challenge to match, yet the game succeeds in almost every way. This detailed and exciting world is full of wondrous moments and brutal fights as the excellent Souls gameplay finds itself being utilised in a freshly open-world format. The variety of ways you can approach combat and the sheer volume of viable tools you can use to take down gruesome and frightening foes makes for an experience that never gets old. A game unwavering in its vision, Elden Ring stands out as a monumental 2022 release.
Console Creatures - Bobby Pashalidis - Recommended
Elden Ring is unabashedly a FromSoft title and without a doubt was worth the wait. It provides a challenge; it gives us a vivid world that feels like a dream and challenges us at every turn.
Cultured Vultures - Mike Worby - 10 / 10
An uncompromising vision of wonder and terror, Elden Ring is the ultimate dark fantasy odyssey. It will ask much of players who tackle its challenges but the rewards of seeing your adventure through more than make up for the effort.
Daily Mirror - Eugene Sowah - 5 / 5
Elden Ring is a beautiful but brutal game that stays true to its Souls roots, I will say that it's not for the faint-hearted as completing quests is equally as difficult as the dungeons and combat sequences. However, FromSoftware has added another great game to their already impressive catalogue. Elden Ring is certainly one of this years must-have titles as it's an experience like nothing else.
Daily Star - Tom Hutchison - 5 / 5
It has been equal parts a pleasure and hell to play Elden Ring. Because this is an amazing game and the developers have built a mind-boggling but nightmarish world to live and fight in.
Destructoid - Chris Carter - 10 / 10
10s aren't perfect, since nothing is, but they come as close as you could get in a given genre. The new leader to beat in its sector, we're talking pure ecstasy.
Digital Chumps - Alex Tudor - 10 / 10
Elden Ring is a masterpiece. From its expertly crafted open-world design that rewards the player for taking the chance to explore to its riveting lore, FromSoftware has delivered what can only be described as a deliberate and thoughtful experience. While some of its visual stylings are starting to show its age already, Elden Ring's gameplay is the result of years of fine-tuning to be as rewarding as it is challenging. Many wondered if FromSoftware could put the level of detail into an open world that they have with their previous games. They've achieved that, and so much more.
Digital Trends - Giovanni Colantonio - 4 / 5
While technical frustrations hold back its full potential. Elden Ring astonishes with fantastic open-world design and consistently rewarding exploration.
Digitally Downloaded - Matt Sainsbury - 5 / 5
With Elden Ring, we're in masterpiece territory.
EGM - Mollie L Patterson - Unscored
Any gripes I have at this point, though, are very minor in the grand scheme of things. Every time I think I might be growing tired of FromSoftware’s modern-era releases, the studio does something to rekindle my interest again—and Elden Ring has me feeling like the Bed of Chaos. Given my current knowledge of and expectations for what still lies ahead, I’ve probably got at least another 40 hours until I see the end credits. Could something happen in that time to make me change my feelings on the game? Absolutely. For now, though, I will be shocked if Elden Ring does not end up being one of my favorite games of the year—if not my #1 spot, just like Dark Souls once was.
Easy Allies - Brad Ellis - 9.5 / 10
Elden Ring is an unforgettable journey that masterfully weaves in its excellent combat with an expertly crafted world, resulting in one of the best open-world games around.
Enternity.gr - Konstantinos Kalkanis - Greek - 9 / 10
Rise, Tarnished! Elden Ring sets new standards and it's a truly memorable experience.
Eurogamer - Aoife Wilson - Essential
Grandiose, mysterious, but now a touch more welcoming, Elden Ring tweaks the FromSoft formula to open up its world.
Eurogamer.pt - Jorge Loureiro - Portuguese - Recommended
If you love the Souls formula, you're going to be delirious with Elden Ring. It's a complex, challenging RPG, and with a lot of content that will seem inexhaustible to you.
Fextralife - Fexelea - 10 / 10
Elden Ring is FromSoftware's Magnum Opus, and it's hard to imagine them making a better game. The only negatives are performance related, which can by and large be overlooked. Elden Ring delivers on a scale that few games ever have, and likely ever will again. A day one buy for RPG and open world fans. Don't miss out on this once in a decade experience!
GGRecon - George Yang - 9 / 10
The Lands Between is filled with visually stunning locations and deadly enemies to ensure that the perilous journey to become the Elden Lord is at least pretty to look at. While Elden Ring stumbles a bit in some areas, it still has all the hallmarks of what makes FromSoftware’s games so enticing: it’s fun, challenging, and rewarding.
Game Informer - Daniel Tack - 10 / 10
Elden Ring represents a truly amazing combination of various game elements that all come together to create something fascinating, special, and unforgettable. Elden Ring isn’t just the best game this year; it’s one of the best games ever made.
Game Rant - Pam K. Ferdinand - 5 / 5
More than an open-world Dark Souls, FromSoftware's Elden Ring offers a new experience that will still feel familiar and satisfying to fans.
Game Revolution - Jason Faulkner - 10 / 10
Games like Elden Ring only come once or twice in a generation and raise the bar on what the medium can offer.
GameMAG - Russian - 10 / 10
Elden Ring is the true triumph that FromSoftware was striving for all those years. Complete and utter triumph.
GameSpew - Richard Seagrave - 10 / 10
Combining the deep and challenging combat FromSoftware is known for with a vast and varied world that’s always a pleasure to explore, Elden Ring is quite simply incredible.
GameSpot - Tamoor Hussain - 10 / 10
Elden Ring takes the shards of what came before and forges them into something that will go down in history as one of the all-time greats: a triumph in design and creativity, and an open-world game that distinguishes itself for what it doesn't do as much as what it does.
Gamepur - Aidan O'Brien - 10 / 10
Elden Ring is just about everything that a player could want from a Soulsborne game with the scale turned up to 11. The areas in between dungeons, NPCs, and monsters all feel perfectly natural for the world, and allow FromSoftware environmental storytelling to shine, something that many open-world games fail at. When you are deep in the bowels of a castle or dungeon, you realize that FromSoftware’s excellent level design is still alive and well.
GamesRadar+ - Joel Franey - 5 / 5
Elden Ring is both a refinement and evolution of the Dark Souls formula, presenting an expansive world that's as hostile as it is inviting. Despite the occasional excess, suffering has never been as much fun as this.
Gaming Nexus - Henry Yu - 10 / 10
FromSoftware effortlessly immerses you into the beautiful world of The Lands Between, with challenging enemies, secret treasures, and deep lore tucked away into every corner. This is, without a doubt, FromSoftware's best project yet, showcasing a culmination of all their previous games. I can't wait to jump back in The Lands Between… See you there, fellow Tarnished.
GamingTrend - David Flynn, Richard Allen - Unscored
This level of freedom has never been seen in a Souls game before and thankfully, it works (mostly).
Geek Culture - Jake Su - 9.6 / 10
An almost neverending treasure trove of amazing combat experiences interspersed with an inviting world full of surprises, Elden Ring is FromSoftware’s best game ever for its fans, and that is no mean feat.
Guardian - Simon Parkin - 5 / 5
This is a massive world, astonishingly rendered and seemingly limitless in its creative diversity
Hardcore Gamer - Adam Beck - 5 / 5
Elden Ring is one of the best games in years, with a breathtaking vast world to explore, and one of the most satisfying combat systems in an RPG. This is the accumulation of FromSoftware's work over the last thirteen years and an evolution on its inspiring formula.
Hey Poor Player - Jon Davis - 5 / 5
If FromSoftware was The Fellowship of The Ring, then Elden Ring is Mt Doom; the terminus of an epic journey spanning over a decade. It consolidates all the acclaimed Japanese studio's ideas into one cohesive and brilliant package. Its art design, lore, and world design are arguably the studio's most inspired work to date. And considering these are the folks that created Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, this is high praise indeed. Elden Ring's open-world design is almost puritan in its purpose, reflecting the single-mindedness behind all the previous Souls games.
Hobby Consolas - Álvaro Alonso - Spanish - 98 / 100
FromSoftware signs a title that, more than a new IP, looks like a swan song; the culmination after 13 years perfecting a genre. The ideas and learning of his latest works converge within the richest and most exquisitely designed open world that our feet have ever trodden. Elden Ring is a madness that seems impossible to beat.
IGN - Mitchell Saltzman - 10 / 10
Elden Ring is a massive iteration on what FromSoftware began with the Souls series, bringing its relentlessly challenging combat to an incredible open world that gives us the freedom to choose our own path.
Impulsegamer - Nathan Misa - 4.8 / 5
A must play for action-RPG fans looking for deep combat systems and an expansive open-world that truly rewards exploration.
Infinite Start - Mark Fajardo - 9.5 / 10
What makes Elden Ring work is a deep understanding of both what players like about the games and what makes the setting different. It should immediately feel different, yet the same, making for a wonderful experience. Some might be put off by the more accessible nature, at least initially, though it does a good job of offering this without taking away from what makes the experience special. You’ll still struggle, die, make another mistake, die, get to the boss and then die again. Just instead of putting people off, it encourages using the awareness to your advantage. For these reasons, along with the wonderful cutscenes that touch on a fascinating narrative and delightful scenery, it’s easy to recommend Elden Ring.
Inverse - Joseph Yaden - 9 / 10
This isn’t just Dark Souls with an open world tacked on. Instead, developer FromSoftware weaves its familiar formula into a massive playground so expertly that we can’t help but wonder how we ever played Dark Souls without it.
JVL - Kikitoès - French - 20 / 20
The game leaves no respite to the player who is constantly solicited, whether to contemplate a truly fantastic world, in every sense of the word, face a tough challenge, explore and think for himself. And it's this melting pot of exhilarating emotions that makes Elden Ring more than a great game, it's a true masterpiece.
Kakuchopurei - Jonathan Leo - 100 / 100
Elden Ring is a triumph in game design. I respect and like Elden Ring and From Software for sticking to its guns but also adding in much-welcome changes and additions to make it more “accessible”.
M3 - Billy Ekblom - Swedish - 5 / 5
Elden Ring takes everything fans love about the Soulsborne phenomenon and applies it to an open world. A wonderful, fascinating and incomparably beautiful world that connects a stranglehold on the player from the first moment – completely without falling. No gamer, no matter what you think of the previous games, should miss this.
Metro GameCentral - GameCentral - 9 / 10
A masterful blend of Dark Souls and Zelda: Breath Of The Wild that makes high demands of its players and yet still remains surprisingly accessible and adaptable.
Niche Gamer - NECRO XIII - 10 / 10
Anyone looking to get into the Souls games and ride the wave of hype can do so fairly easily this time around with Elden Ring.
One More Game - Ricki Buzon - Buy
The Lands Between is vast and full of danger at every turn but heavily encourages exploration, offering handsome rewards for those who choose to face the dangers head-on. Capped off by a beautiful open-world brimming with mind-blowing monster and level design, Elden Ring easily rises to the hype and exceeds expectations.
PC Gamer - Tyler Colp - 90 / 100
An open world action RPG from FromSoftware that reaches new heights, but spends too much time in the familiar.
PCGamesN - Jordan Forward - 10 / 10
A supercut of FromSoft's very best work, transported to a totally new space. Elden Ring is not only a masterpiece by its developer's lofty standards, but in packing so much density into the Lands Between, it lights the path ahead for open-world games in general.
PPE.pl - Wojciech Gruszczyk - Polish - 10 / 10
Elden Ring is the "ultimate form of Dark Souls". From Software has created the final boss and throws you a gauntlet. Will you take it? You should and as soon as possible, because enthusiasts of the production of this studio will be delighted.

It appears there may be an endless number of things to do in Elden Ring and that's fine by me. I never want it to end.
Press Start - Harry Kalogirou - 9.5 / 10
While it feels like the impact of Breath of the Wild is waning as the open world genre starts to stagnate again, Elden Ring stands out as not only an achievement in FromSoftware's hall of fame, but also as an open-world RPG. Elden Ring is without a doubt, FromSoft's most ambitious undertaking yet, and like Dark Souls before it, I believe it will leave a permanent mark on both the open-world genre and the games industry in general.
Push Square - Liam Croft - Unscored
Elden Ring feels like the definitive FromSoftware game.

Elden Ring is an action-RPG with an open world that's not only incredibly rich, but encouraging too. This game will be the talk of the Blighttown for years to come.
SECTOR.sk - Oto Schultz - Slovak - 10 / 10
Elden Ring is the embodiment of From Software's best work yet. Top-notch quality of another huge soulslike adventure persists, especially in the cryptically epic story cowritten by George R. R. Martin and in the ingeniously vast and visually stunning world of Lands Between that sets the new standard for open world games. And of course, you can expect a lot of dying, rolling, and rage-quitting. Elden Ring is a must play for every fan, but it also makes so many good steps towards accessibility for greater audience.
Screen Rant - Christopher Teuton - 5 / 5
Elden Ring is a nearly perfect game.
Seasoned Gaming - Ainsley Bowden - 10 / 10
Elden Ring is not only the best game From Software has ever developed, it stands firmly alongside the greatest fantasy-RPGs of all-time.
Shacknews - Sam Chandler - 9 / 10
Simply put, Elden Ring is Miyazaki and FromSoftware’s magnum opus.
Sirus Gaming - Adrian Morales - 9.5 / 10
Elden Ring feels like a culmination of everything that FromSoftware has created in the past 13 years. Refining, reworking, and incorporating the best parts of their whole catalog into one complete package. The Lands Between is one of the most extraordinary open worlds I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. It’s a world that you can’t help but lose yourself in for hours at a time thanks to its classic RPG sense of exploration and curiosity. This is the cherry on top for a team that has been firing on all cylinders for over a decade. Elden Ring is a triumph.

At this point I’ve put over 70 hours into Elden Ring and haven’t finished it yet; nevertheless, I’m completely blown away by how impressive it is.
TechRaptor - William Worrall - 9 / 10
Elden Ring takes the best elements of all past FromSoftware games in recent memory and mashes them together. While it's not inviting to newcomers, this is certainly the definitive FromSoft experience.
TheSixthAxis - Jason Coles - 10 / 10
Elden Ring is the game Souls fans have been waiting for. From the open world design, to riding into battle on Torrent's back, and the dark narrative woven through the world, this is a clear Game of the Year frontrunner that will have us all ensnared for a long time to come.
Too Much Gaming - Carlos Hernandez - Unscored
Considering how well From Software incorporated the Souls formula into this captivating open world, the hype currently revolving around this action-RPG is justified. If you’re excited for the release of Elden Ring, you have nothing to worry about here.
Total Gaming Network - Shawn Zipay - 5 / 5
FromSoftware's largest and most ambitious title is also its best yet.
TrustedReviews - Alastair Stevenson - 4.5 / 5
After spending 50-plus hours playing it, I can confirm Elden Ring is the most developed and welcoming Souls-series game ever made, with the added narrative and open world making Elden Ring feel far more accessible to From Software newcomers.
Twinfinite - Zhiqing Wan - 5 / 5
Is this the best FromSoft action RPG ever made? For now, perhaps. It’s definitely up there with Bloodborne. But given the company’s track record, I’d no longer be surprised if they come back in another six years with a new IP that surpasses all expectations yet again.
VG247 - Sherif Saed - 5 / 5
What ultimately matters, however, is that Elden Ring succeeds at almost every goal it sets out to achieve. It’s the culmination of years of refinement of FromSoftware’s formula. Mechanically, and thematically, this is a game making a statement: that you can buck industry tendencies even as you adopt their trends.
VGC - Jordan Middler - 5 / 5
Elden Ring is a fantastic game that can still deliver the unmatched thrill of defeating a tough boss after an hours-long battle. Those who worship at the church of Souls-like will find a game that’s basically everything they ever wanted.
VideoGamer - Josh Wise - 9 / 10
There are no other dynamics quite like it in games; they acquaint us with an array of miseries and charge us money for the privilege.
Washington Post - Gene Park - Unscored
“Elden Ring” is a game about discovering and pushing the limits of possibility. It dares you, over and over, to keep pushing, making this unlike any other adventure I’ve experienced. It would be understatement to say “Elden Ring” has exceeded my expectations. After 40 hours — and with so much more to go — I don’t even know what I expect from it anymore. Its sheer scale is humbling. In terms of square footage, “Elden Ring” may not be the largest game ever made, but no other experience has made me feel quite as small.
Wccftech - 10 / 10
Elden Ring is not only the best action RPG developed by From Software but one of the best open-world titles ever made. A masterclass of game design, Elden Ring isn't just a game but an epic dark fantasy journey that no one will be able to forget for a very long time.
WellPlayed - Jordan Garcia - 10 / 10
Backed by an incredible and rewarding open-world design, Elden Ring is a masterclass in every facet that it brings to the table. Without a doubt, this is FromSoftware’s magnum opus.
Windows Central - Miles Dompier - 5 / 5
Elden Ring is a masterclass in open-world game design. FromSoftware has poetically fashioned a gorgeously haunting universe that begs to be explored. It's a quintessential action RPG and an obvious contender for game of the year.
Worth Playing - Chris "Atom" DeAngelus - 9.5 / 10
Elden Ring is exactly the game people were hoping it would be. It's the biggest FromSoft Soulslike to date, with a ton of polish and a bucketload of content. It won't change your mind if you don't enjoy the genre, but Elden Ring accomplishes what it had set out to do. Not every new feature hits, and it sometimes felt a touch too familiar, but when the biggest complaint I can think of is, "It feels like some of the best games ever made," that is a sign of its quality. Elden Ring is the game we've all been waiting for.
Xbox Achievements - Matt Lorrigan - 90%
Elden Ring offers up a gorgeous open world that is enticing and exciting to explore, along with excellent combat variety, amazing bosses to fight, and intricate dungeons to tackle. It might feel a little familiar, but this could well be FromSoftware’s best game to date.
XboxEra - Jesse Norris - 9.8 / 10
Elden Ring is a masterpiece of a title, with only a few minor issues. The co-op summon system is a pain, and mounted combat doesn’t always feel the best. Other than that this game is staggeringly good in every single area. It does for open-world games what people claimed Breath of the Wild did. Every part of the experience is elevated by an insane attention to detail. Few games have ever left me feeling so enthralled for the entirety of my playtime. Whether you’re going it solo or with a friend Elden Ring is one guaranteed to be one hell of a time.

From The Guardian’s review:
“Video games can be all kinds of different things, representing all manner of artistic ambitions. Most, however, share a common goal: to conjure a compelling fictional reality, filled with beckoning mysteries, enchanting secrets, and enriching opportunities to compete and collaborate. They aim to provide a liminal space in which a determined player can fix that which is broken, order that which is chaotic.
By this definition, at least, Elden Ring is the finest video game yet made.”
ID: hy3yyvdNeed to read that one. thanks!

Game Informer already saying it's one of the best games of all time

so this game is basically Miyazaki's "thanos post snap, resting in his cabin" moment. An All Timer. Congrats to From. I might just end up biting the bullet and figuring out how to get over the hump with these games

I've been playing this for the past week under the embargo and I can certainly agree with the 10/10 scores. This is personally my favourite from soft game that they have ever made. I found a small issue in performance on the pc version but other than that the game is perfection. For any new commers this is the best fromsoft game to first jump into.
-
Wow FromSoft are just the absolute GOATs - every title from them is an all timer. You wouldve thought Bloodborne would be their peak at the time.. then they made Sekiro.
Now this is shaping up to be their best to date? Were closing in on the release of what could be a Top 3-5 game all time? not even exaggerating this is a huge fucking deal!!!!
-
I’m laughing at some of these ratings, how does someone come up with a rating of 17.684/18.329
Jokes aside, I’m not surprised that this game is getting the praise it is!
-
Not going to lie, I was not going to buy this.
BUT with a current 98 average on metacritic, I’m going to have to check it out. That’s crazy.
ID: hy3w614Ocarina of time: 99 THPS2: 98 GTA4: 98 Soul Calibur: 98 Mario Galaxy: 97If the 98 holds, it is in the top 5 games on metacritic of all time. Absolutely crazy.
The best video game in at least a decade and a half. Only surpassed by Ocarina of Time - in 1998.
ID: hy3x92rI feel like it’s even more difficult to break into that list now in the current world.
It only takes a couple journalists to say a game is bad purely for clickbait attention seeking purposes to bring down the overall score.
Even if it does drop off a bit, it’s clear the game is still great.
-
So… it’s a good game?
ID: hy4ndclNope, it seems to be a great game. Sorry man.
-
This is really shaping up to be an all time year for games. It’s insane to think it’s February and we’ve got Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring.
-
I don’t care much for punishing games like dark souls but I’ll be damned if that’s not an amazing score and tempted to buy it anyway.
-
Today's the day I find out if this game is truly the masterpiece everyone has been saying it will be for years now.
I've been excited for Forbidden West and it paid off. I hope you guys get the game you've been dreaming of!
ID: hy3uv5aToday's the day I find out if this game is truly the masterpiece everyone has been saying it will be for years now.
So far seems like the hype is actually true lol

I know this is the Elden Ring thread, but I'd just like to pour one out to the Horizon franchise. This is the second time in a row they've been swallowed by an absolute monster of a videogame.
2017: Breath of the Wild
2022: Elden Ring
ID: hy433k9It's not ideal haha but Horizon will still sell really well over the generation I'm sure!
ID: hy45ppiMost definitely. Ill be picking it up after Elden Ring for sure
ID: hy49nohHFW is super fun so far. Does it change the way we think about video games? No, but it’s a hell of a good time. It’s also not as hard as Souls games, so a lot of people will play due to accessibility. The true winners are us, because we will have a lot of great games to play this year.
