Ring Of Elysium Review

Graphics 5/5

While being freezing in this winter hell, it is still not possible to avoid these amazing views and very realistic graphics.

Gigantic map of the battlefield is all well-developed, no matter where the player starts. There is some creepy beauty behind tall snow mountains, huge ice chess, frozen buildings, animals.

The game is still on the level of constant readjusting. The last updates brought new options for modeling main character up to your taste. You can pick the shape of the face, the color of hair and eyes.

Gameplay 4/5

Despite its iconic views on snowy mountains and forests, Ring of Elysium is still a Battle Royale shooter. Like many battle royales, it is not highly competitive unless you are building all your surviving strategy on killing as many other players as you can.

You can team up with one, two or three friends, as the number of free places is 4, and try to reach the finish together. There is no usual battle royale beginning when gamers are falling from the skies or jumping out from helicopters, so you can pick the point of destination. At the same moment, there is an option available for tracking other players on the map. There will be 49 players besides you trying to survive.

The pleasant bonus is you can select loadout yourself, packed with bandages, guns, and the vehicle up to your choice: climbing axes, snowboard, glider. But their main problem is that you can activate them only in specially created areas, in other places they are useless. Anyway, it is more fun to run or use ski lift that crosses the map in the game.

The weapon in the game is similar to lasers. It shoots exactly where you pointed, with no mistakes. So, sometimes fights are too easy and end very quickly. But be aware of abruptness in the game that can take you to the cliff, right after you luckily escaped the most brutal firefight in your life.

Controls 5/5

Ring of Elysium Review says control is nothing really hard. The standard WASD navigation on the keyboard, space - is for the jump, 7 – to use a medkit, M – for a map, TAB for Inventory. The game is still in progress so there are some bugs like getting stuck in one of the buildings, etc.

You can change zipline direction by pressing S or backward during the ride. It can be useful if you want to avoid firefight or being on the wrong zipline. After the character lifts up legs, you are jumping off zipline. There will be an animation that will point on your ability to jump.

Replay Value 4/5

The game in the constant updating, which means new options can be available since the first time you tried it.  After finishing one game, you can come back and choose another playstyle, another road, vehicle, and character. But you can always try to master your skills with one character and see where it takes you.

Ring of Elysium is supposed to be realistic, and this means it is not as chaotic as many other battle royales. You have enough time to build up a strategy, see where your possible enemies are and use the weapon you were given. That’s when you can feel bored by how easy you received everything.

Conclusion

The game is in its start, and there are good chances that it will turn into something amazing, and will become the next legend among battle royales. The detailed picture of snowstorm makes it incredibly realistic and increases the desire to get to the helicopter faster than others. To win in the game you need to build a strategy, calculate the chances of your enemies and destroy any threat on your way.
