In the conclusion of the colleagues from IGN (10/10) it says for example: “It’s no exaggeration to say that Elden Ring is FromSoftware’s biggest and most ambitious game to date. And this ambition has more than paid off. Even following 87 hours of blood, sweat and tears that included some of the most challenging fights I’ve ever fought and countless surprises, there are still bosses I left open, secrets I have yet to uncover, side quests that I missed tons of weapons, spells and abilities that I never used.”
The editors of VG247 (5/5), on the other hand, stated: “What ultimately matters is that Elden Ring achieves almost every goal it sets out to achieve. It’s the culmination of years of refinement of the From Software formula. Mechanically and thematically, this is a game that makes a statement: that you can buck the trends of the industry even as you adopt its trends.”
Also at GameSpot (10/10) one is enthusiastic: “In a genre defined by bloated and overdesigned games, Elden Ring is defiantly contrarian in almost every way. Putting its dedication to design and the responsibility of finding a path through its world entirely on the player makes it superior to other open-world titles. Elden Ring takes the shards of what came before and forges them into something that will go down in history as one of the greats of all time: a triumph of design and creativity, and an open-world game characterized by what it does.”
