First
10/10 is the score.
10/10 les goooooo
Good review. Well-written.
unbelievable it is the number one game of all time in opencritic right now
This is gonna be my first Soulsborne game, can't wait to play it.
Game of the year for sure. Finally.. an open world game worthy of being called a next gen title.
Glad that is working fine on PS5
What I'm enjoying most is that these reviewers aren't trying to put some woke spin on the game which tells me, this game is completley neutral.
Now I can actually say that I don't mind if BotW 2 comes out next year. Let them take their time. I want to dedicate this whole year to Elden Ring.
Destructoid has really gone downhill
My gamestop is letting us pick it up at 9 on thursday. Wooowho, lets go!
It is not an Eldensekisoulsborne. It is a Soulsbornekiroring. Gotta keep the chronology going.
I wish the combat mechanics was like Sekiro's fast reflex and parry.
"40 hours or more seems like most playthroughs". Every other reviewer has this number pegged at 80-120 for a first run — any explination for the discrepancy? some excellent players have quoted the longer number.
fromsoft signing a lot of checks obviously. I'm hearing from actual players that have this are saying it runs like shit on pc and ps4/xbox one.
No publisher should be giving out scores from a game without a day one patch.
I’d use my PS5 more if it has a god damn back button attachment or elite controller
Console footage? Come on…
For those who have never understood the appeal of Dark Souls, Elden Ring’s action is a different story. Even with helpful new features, this is still a tough game that required me to bang my head against individual bosses for hours on end. If that’s never sounded fun, it still won’t be here. this is a review of a game from digital trends at least bring an angle for those of us who doesnt like Souls like games. not everybody have hours to spend killing a single boss. this is not called best RPG of all times. it is called pinnacle of pain for dark souls fans
story based rpg right. here is another remark from a neutral reviewer; " While Game of Thrones’ author George R.R. Martin contributed writing to the game, the overarching story is perhaps the least interesting thing about it (its standard fantasy mumbo-jumbo with lots of kingdom names peppered in). "
All I want to know is WHERE ARE MY MICRO-TRANSACTIONS AT?!!
Hard to believe that Sekiro released 3 years ago. Was this mammoth game built in just 3 years?!
Trash….like all FS games are…
Amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great job ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So good ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice video ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Audio on this review is ass. Step up your game Destruction.
Why do we need 163 f-in reviews of a game??? I am excite to jump into Elden Ring.. but for f-sake, why don't we leave game journalism to the pros??
