An excellent installation to the Soulsborne series that I would recommend to everyone! Its gameplay is far more intuitive for players new to the genre yet manages to remain challenging as you delve deeper into the game, its atmoshpere and design direction are unmatched, and the story itself is captivating. The open world is massive with lots of hidden secrets that are more interesting to find due to the verticality of the landscape. The DLC even manages to improve on certain areas and includes interesting NPC questlines and some of the best boss designs without messing with the power balance of the base game.

I highly encourage new playes that are looking to delve into the genre, as well as existing fans of Soulsborne games, to give Elden Ring a try if they haven't yet!

I don't know what to say first about this masterpiece, after this, whatever I play I find uninteresting... I want to somehow forget it so I can play it again...
there isn't even half a negative in this game...
it was my first souls game and I completed it in 3-4 months 100% ... without extreme difficulty... it was just - enough

For the first time, I engaged with a soul game and after 280 hours and 300+(game+DLC) levels, I can say that it is the best thing that has ever come out, not just huge (infinite) but also excellent in every way. It will challenge you a lot, it will frustrate you at first, but once you really get into its world and learn how it works, you won't put the pad down from your hands... epic!
