Our analysis
Ambitious but plagued by poor tutorials, confusing quests, and excessive platforming. Satirical critique.
Our analysis
Masterpiece of open-world design translating From Software formula into massive seamless world with unparalleled exploration.
Our analysis
An incredible game with massive scale and creative enemy design held back significantly by terrible balance and poor difficulty tuning. Dunkey beat it 4 times because the core world design is phenomenal, despite broken damage scaling and unfair endgame difficulty.
Our analysis
Masterpiece that delivers astounding world scale with refined combat and accessibility options. FromSoftware's most open and accessible souls-like, enabling new audiences to experience genre.
Our analysis
Continuation of Elden Ring review discussing accessibility and combat. Game is very good with non-hand-holding design despite some control issues.
Our analysis
A generational, magnum-opus open world that trusts the player, rewards exploration at every turn, and offers phenomenal progression with flexible respec-friendly builds and a deep Ashes of War system. Criticisms after 100+ hours include reused bosses, spammy mob encounters, frustrating chariot dungeons and sewers, camera trouble on large bosses, never-improving performance, and balance concerns like overpowered bleed and summon-dependent fights. Still an easy buy and a game-of-the-year frontrunner.
Our analysis
A glorious and exceptional game that successfully balances accessibility for new players with challenge for veterans through spirit summons and flexible mechanics. Stunning visuals, deep world design, and unforgettable gameplay make this FromSoftware's brightest effort.
Our analysis
Combat depth, build variety, Spirit Ashes, and exceptional world design; some repeating mini-bosses and camera issues but overall masterpiece.
Our analysis
Game of the year and decade contender with 100+ hours of content.
Our analysis
A rewarding, content-packed evolution of the FromSoftware formula that opens the Souls structure into a massive, indifferent open world worth exploring. Standout boss battles, deep build variety, and additions like Ashes of War and summons make it more approachable, while exploration consistently rewards persistence. Weak spots include a disappointing final boss, performance hitches, reused bosses, an unintuitive co-op system, and an obtuse story, but the sheer scope easily outweighs them.
elden ring is one that we'll be looking back to as a game that moved the genre forward
the base game is 60 at least on steam and honestly yeah it's absolutely worth that price
the Nintendo Switch 2 version is definitely worth considering.
I'm convinced that this is the most fun software of the year, and I'm almost convinced that there's no other game like it.
I thought it was a fantastic game, and I'm sure it's a game I'd recommend to many people.
i think this is one of the greatest games of all time i actually do
Elden Ring Tarnished Edition is a tremendous achievement and one of the finest games that you can currently play in the Switch 2 library, offering up an enormous and densely packed open world, tons of tough boss encounters to overcome, a huge DLC and game expansion, and presenting it all with great performance.
