FromSoftware’s highly-acclaimed Elden Ring is getting review bombed on Steam, as many players are unhappy with the game’s poor PC optimization. Millions of players have already jumped into Elden Ring’s dark fantasy open world, exploring the wide variety of areas and encountering new Souls-like bosses likely to provide a massive challenge. Within its first hour on Steam Elden Ring amassed over 600k players, proving that few want to miss what could be 2022’s greatest launch.

Elden Ring’s other reviews are far from modest, with many gaming outlets and publications singing praise for FromSoftware’s new action RPG. Many reviewers were blown away by the game’s combat system, which shares many facets with previous FromSoftware games, save for a few new mechanics like jumping. The world design and Elden Ring’s in-depth fantasy lore have also been the focal point of its positive reception, and some claim the game is a shoo-in for Game of the Year 2022. Near-perfect scores from multiple outlets seem to corroborate that response, and earlier this week, Elden Ring was OpenCritic’s highest-rated game of all time. Even though it’s fallen in the rankings slightly, most professional reviewers agree that FromSoftware has crafted a masterpiece.
