I’ve spent the past week playing Elden Ring and have enjoyed practically every single moment. Let’s dive in and discuss what and why I like this game so much.
Elden Ring Info For The Algo:
THE NEW FANTASY ACTION RPG.
Rise, Tarnished, and be guided by grace to brandish the power of the Elden Ring and become an Elden Lord in the Lands Between.
• A Vast World Full of Excitement
A vast world where open fields with a variety of situations and huge dungeons with complex and three-dimensional designs are seamlessly connected. As you explore, the joy of discovering unknown and overwhelming threats await you, leading to a high sense of accomplishment.
• Create your Own Character
In addition to customizing the appearance of your character, you can freely combine the weapons, armor, and magic that you equip. You can develop your character according to your play style, such as increasing your muscle strength to become a strong warrior, or mastering magic.
• An Epic Drama Born from a Myth
A multilayered story told in fragments. An epic drama in which the various thoughts of the characters intersect in the Lands Between.
• Unique Online Play that Loosely Connects You to Others
In addition to multiplayer, where you can directly connect with other players and travel together, the game supports a unique asynchronous online element that allows you to feel the presence of others.

It looks like what New World could have been…
Tomorrow night for me i cant wait.
Awesome review, I agree that it’s hard to review the game in the traditional way.
That's a strange question 😛 Will listen… Never played the souls-like games, but I feel ready!
( unplayed games in my Steam Library disagree, but anyhow )
– I am still trying to finish exploring all of Skyrim 😛
Can anyone tell me if the dungeon are a complete maze like darksouls or if it's actually possible to figure out what to do without a walkthrough? I could never get into darksoul cause I was always getting lost and frustrated. I like the difficulty, but I dont like wasting my time
Should you guys play good games? Let’s me a pointless video out of that question
Yes.
I hate that you're going to make me buy this game.
where is my weekly report of gamess!!
How does it play with a keyboard?
I could never get into the souls series or even bloodborne (the main death mechanic is the reason why, though I liked sekiro before the game refused to recognize my controller anymore), but I still pre-ordered Elden Ring because I still think it's worth giving a shot as I love the idea of the game.
Video opens with 2 unskippable 15 seconds ads. Rip
yes we should 😀 bought it just 4 minutes ago and iam looking forward to this. Elden Ring will be my first souls game and iam already meditating to keep my inner grizzly at a low agression level 😀
Your writing of this review was very well done. I really enjoyed your review.
I've been playing souls games since Demon Souls on ps3. I absolutely love all souls games.
ge zij een neute …. simple
I've heard that PC has frame drops and texture popping. That's very concerning to me 😢
Thank you dennis
LETS GO DENNIS !
Nice review Force. Even tho you're not telling me anything new, you always find a way to be different from other reviews I've watched about any specific game. Thanks for your high quality content.
Can't believe this games almost here!! So glad I'm off work when it releases ;D lol
Is there anything in this game for people who HAVE tried Souls games but didn't like them?
It would be perfect you if you put Skyrim music to Elden Ring then add BOTW at the game intro.
10/10
This makes for a great podcast, best way to enjoy a review without spoilers imo.
80 hours seems to be about the time i see other reviewers say they complete the game.
no ultrawide support, 60fps lock. hard pass
Never played a DS game. How does the combat work? Do you have skills? Is it a single button combo system? Does every weapon have the same damage? How many attack buttons do you have? It's impossible to get these basic answers from any of Elden Ring review videos on YT, it's mind blowing.
Loot tables that matter! WoW Classic fresh basically nice! Natural scaling as well. Not my style of combat, but game looks great.
Would be super cool if they had the switch weapons like bloodborne in the game. The sword/hammer idea was so cool.
Can't wait to play, just need the buster sword from berserk and I'll be happy.
Cool video
Force: "Well done Fromsoftware."
Me: And Bandai Namco?
Pretty Off Topic, but I wanted to ask you, Force, if you know about The "Dark Souls: Role Playing Game" from SteamForged? Not sure if you're into D&D style adventures in your free time or you only play video games. It launches in May with a beautiful book and captures the essence and feel of Dark Souls (NPCs, monsters, loot, bosses, traps, tough scenarios etc.) in a D&D 5e style gameplay and rules (with some modifications), however in D&D you have many ways to prevent death, as it's generally frowned upon. In Dark Souls you don't. Death is part of the campaign. You respawn at the bonfire and use what you've learned to defeat the encounter, hopefully, on your 2nd try. And of course you lose your Souls (XP). Humanity will also be in apparently. Swapping weapons, using flasks is reminiscent of Dark Souls. Of course you can do this in 2 players: 1 DM and 1 Character or many friends that will hopefully aid you in combat and getting past puzzles and traps 🙂 Just don't wipe, because the enemies will respawn.
I'll be keeping an eye out. They will also be offering PDFs so maybe I can play on Tabletop Simulator or another D&D helper platform online (like Roll 20). I've only seen a sponsored stream with people playing it before release and it is awesome.
Long story short: If you like the Souls Games, if you like to have a Cool Book in your Bookcase and especially if you like Tabletop Role Playing Games, give this one a try 😉
And cheers for the great video, as always 😀
oh boy does it shine so hard it gives u bad performance
How much did they pay you to shill?
I would so love to play it. But I have enough self-understanding to know that it would be too hard/frustrating for me. I have enough stress at work, I don't need to pull that into my gaming life, lol
And the game is broken for PC users and you and these 10/10 people are being called out as shill's
Started playing and it’s definitely hard cause I don’t play souls games usually. One thing I don’t like is it feels like you’re pushed into having to use stealth or you’ll get wrecked but I’d rather be able to just jump in aggressively
5/10 frustrating bosses, empty world.
Have a new lets play about elden ring, if you guys want some more inspiration about the game, have a look on my channel 🙂
Episode #2 is online o.O do you think its the game of the year?! Have a nice Day 🙂
Fantastic review!
I tried getting a refund but I spent too long trying to piece together its awful control system so I was denied. The game is not hard!!!! the shitty systems make the game hard!!!! It's a cheap console port. The game runs like crap on PC, has seizure issues with lighting/fire, controls are absolutely garbage, in complete (you are literally lacking keybinds to moves, items, actions). Combat input response times are a big issue. Sometimes the game flat out refuses to let you attack. When targeting the game actually takes control of your camera and you are locked out until you manage to deselect a target. targeting has its own massive issues. They did everything right except the largest part of the game. Character control!
Question for the hardcore souls enthusiasts. Is comparing souls to GoW blasphemy? Im downloading ER right now but GoW is my only experience with “Boss” type games
Awesome review!
Just the way i wanted!
The game looks soo bad on my PS5 out of all next gen standards and expectations, Demons Souls for PS5 is far better looking, can't stand Elden Ring's look especially buildings and it's repetitive textures and proportions as person from art school trained for viewing cant look at it 5-6 minutes, start it and must turn off that ugliest popular game I'm feeling CHEATED by uneducated YouTubers and reviewers which do not respect 2022 standards and our free time
