Elden Ring might be on track to be 🀅one of the best-reviewed g🍒ames ever made, and its fans are barely holding it together.

The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring review embargo dropped earlier this afternoon, and at time of writing, the PS5 score on review aggregate site is hovering between 97 and 98. If it settles on the latter, Elden Ring will become the second highest-scored game in the history of the site, sitting on𝓰e point behind The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and level with GTA 5, GTA 4, Tony Haw💦k's Pro Skater 2, and Soul Calibur. Over on , the game is currently the top-reviewed game of all time, averaged across all major platforms.

Of course, not every review has been published yet, so the score is likely to change over the next couple of days. It's pretty clear, however, that Elden Ring promises to be Game of the Year material at the very least. Our own five-star review says that the game might be better than its Dark Souls brethren - quite the accolade in and of itself - even𝐆 if its worlಌd is "as hostile as it is inviting."
