Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, with world-building contributions from novelist George R. R. Martin, the game features an expansive open world called the Lands Between. Players assume the role of a customisable character known as the Tarnished, who must explore this world, battle formidable enemies, and seek to restore the Elden Ring to become the Elden Lord.\n\nThe game builds on the challenging gameplay mechanics familiar from the Dark Souls series but introduces a more open-ended structure with vast exploration, dynamic weather, and a day-night cycle. It offers deep lore, complex characters, and an interconnected world filled with secrets, dungeons, and powerful bosses.","96347\u002FElden Ring Cover.webp","96347\u002FElden Ring Header.webp","2022-02-25","2024-09-14T01:22:46.633494-04:00","2026-03-27T17:00:09.545205-04:00",119133,"elden-ring",true,"https:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002Fe5wwSxl0atc",0,94.6,1245620,[21,52,81,107,131,156,184,206,235,259,285,308,328,362,385,409,432,454,478,502,524,544,564,589,619,643,667,692,716,734,758,780,803,827,853,877,900,926,947,968,988,1011,1034,1055,1075,1103,1124,1153,1174,1203,1230],{"id":22,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":23,"author":24,"original_score":32,"normalized_score":33,"review_url":34,"review_date":35,"summary":36,"created_at":37,"updated_at":37,"author_id":25,"last_edited_at":37,"outlet":38},145267,150,{"id":25,"bio":26,"name":27,"avg_score":28,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":29,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":30,"claim_token":26,"article_count":31,"claimed_by_user_id":26},12403,null,"Harry Kalogirou",83.35820895522389,"2025-05-07T19:13:32.285567-04:00","2026-07-21T09:26:24.698143-04:00",69,"9.5",95,"https:\u002F\u002Fpress-start.com.au\u002Freviews\u002Fps5-reviews\u002F2022\u002F02\u002F24\u002Felden-ring-review-a-formula-perfected\u002F","2025-05-07","While it feels like the impact of Breath of the Wild is waning as the open world genre starts to stagnate again, Elden Ring stands out as not only an achievement in FromSoftware’s hall of fame, but also as an open-world RPG.

This is the accumulation of FromSoftware’s work over the last thirteen years and an evolution on its inspiring formula. Despite its name, this is still very much a Souls title, containing familiar mechanics and aesthetics, but reworked in a way to work perfectly in an open-world setting. There are numerous varying options to choose from, not only in how a character is built, but how to approach a situation. Players can brute force their way through the story or find clever ways around obstacles through adventuring. This on top of a creative day and night cycle that will change locations to make them more hostile and in some cases add new hidden boss fights. The amount of times we were taken aback, be it just looking at the map expanding far beyond our expectations or respawning in a location we were not familiar with, there’s never been a better game to explore. The systems are far more accessible, but don’t misconstrue that as Elden Ring being easy, as it’s quite the opposite. Enemies still have the means to strike players down in a single blow, making the well-designed boss encounters overly gratifying. The exquisite presentation values with the artistic variety and musical scores will also have you immersed in this dreadful world. Elden Ring is a spectacular triumph that excels well beyond anything we could've hoped for.","2025-01-15T05:39:20.036677-05:00",{"id":902,"logo":914,"name":915,"slug":916,"tags":101,"bluesky":26,"twitter":917,"youtube":918,"facebook":919,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":920,"website_url":921,"score_format":78,"average_score":155,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":922,"stats_updated_at":923,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":924,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":83,"published_reviews_count":925},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FHardcore-Gamer-Logo.jpg","Hardcore Gamer ","hardcore-gamer","HardcoreGamer","HardcoreGamerVideo","Hardcore-Gamer","Follow us for the latest and greatest in video game news, previews, reviews and more.

The co-op summon system is a pain, and mounted combat doesn’t always feel the best. Other than that this game is staggeringly good in every single area.
