I’ve only got about 5 hours in, but this is probably going to be the best AAA release this year. Note spam everywhere trying to trick people, co-op play, actually challenging combat but frankly so far is very manageable. Graphics are outstanding, and No Micro Transactions. In fact this is the first game I’ve seen in years where the “deluxe” edition is just the art book and soundtrack. This and Ghosts of Sushi Legends mode are the only reason a ps5 has any value so far.

The game is poorly optimized, there’s stuttering issues in the open world, especially when fighting large groups of enemies, as well as framedrops while fighting field bosses. Some people are blaming easy anticheat, but I don’t know the cause really.
On my end I disabled DoF, AA, and motion blur and it works a lot better, I only get microstutter when I load into a new area on the open world, so ymmv, hopefully through patches it will cease to be an issue.
You should watch the video from 'Worthabuy' on his experience with the Elden Ring PC Port.
He refunded it after half an hour, and I don't blame him.
Yeah, I’m not thrilled with it either but it’s my only option right now, I don’t want a PS5 or Series X, especially not just for one game and I’m loving it so much that the performance could be considerably worse and I’d still soldier through it.
It also seems to vary a lot, I’ve talked to people with worse specs than me wh say they haven’t had many issues outside of the odd stutter, and I’ve seen people with better hardware say the game framedrops are so bad it’s unplayable…
Here’s hoping they can sort the issues out quickly, or at least find out what’s ducking everything up; a game that can run on base PS4 and xbone shouldn’t be causing so many problems.
