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.

An open world action RPG from FromSoftware that reaches new heights, but spends too much time in the familiar.

‎Elden Ring is a true milestone for its developers and one of the best titles we've played in recent years. The mix of its playable base inherited from Dark Souls and a very refined exploration offer a very fresh proposition in the saturated market of open world titles. Despite the presence of some unfortunate technical problems, these do not impact the good taste in the mouth of what promises to be one of those games that mark a genre, and perhaps, the best game developed by From Software.‎

Elden Ring manages to draw the player into a fascinating world for many hours, with refined gameplay that fits perfectly with the freedom granted to the player. A sumptuous but imperfect work, which fails to completely overcome some of the historical flaws of Hidetaka Miyazaki's productions. Flaws that, however, can't diminish the scope of a masterpiece destined to leave an indelible mark on the videogame world and to set new standards for the souls-like and open-world genres.

Elden Ring is a brutally unforgiving game, from its difficulty to the dreary tones it presents and at the same it’s quite wondrous to take in being a strangely addicting offering.

Although 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.

Elden Ring is a superb take on the soulslike genre, an astonishing evolution and a decisive step forward for From Software's scale of ambition. Elden Ring is a dream come true for every fan of Miyazaki's works.

Elden Ring is the point of arrival, and departure, of all Miyazaki's productions prior to Sekiro. Where Sekiro was that butterfly born from a chrysalis called Bloodborne, Elden Ring picks up the important gaming heritage of Demon's Souls, matured over the years, to transplant it in a context at the same time new and familiar to fans of the genre. Elden Ring is not the classic open world but a Soulsborne that violently bends the rules of open world games to its will, defining new standards for the genre that cannot be ignored in the years to come...neither by future open world titles nor by the next Souls-Like productions. You can undoubtedly question the choice to reuse assets already seen, and overdone, in the past, as well as it is obvious that the general performance of Elden Ring are not among the best currently in circulation, but in practice, when you immerse yourself in the vastness of the Interregno, the only truth that comes out is that From Software, as it did in 2009, has once again overturned the rules of the game.

Elden Ring stays true to its strange and obtuse controls and UI, but blows the subgenre wide open for both veterans and newcomers.

From Software continues to impress, with an open world debut that immediately becomes an example for future games. Finally, a game that truly lets you explore, without giving you everything on a plate, and manages to do so in a natural and rewarding way. Elden Ring is the team's ultimate fantasy game.

Elden Ring is perhaps the best Fram Software Game to date. By offering a large and mysterious world, challenging combat - as always - and a story that you have to navigate through to turn its question marks into dots, Fram Software has managed to create one of the best games of the last few years. 2022 has already known as its best game of the year, and it is not very likely that a title will be able to compete with Fram Software's masterpiece in the award season.

Elden Ring might just be FromSoftware's masterpiece thanks to its perfected combat, incredible open world design, and some of the best in the Soulsborne series. This game is practically a 10/10 in terms of pure gameplay, though the noticeable framerate drops deduct half a point from its score.
