Like the base game did before it, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree raises the bar for single-player DLC expansions. It takes everything that made the base game such a landmark RPG, condenses it into a relatively compact 20-25 hour campaign, and provides fantastic new challenges…

Eurogamer's review of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, an expansion that delivers more of the same gruelling beauty, but too much signposting and empty space.

Agreement—

Shadow of the Erdtree delivers more of the same style of content you loved two years ago rather than introducing new ways to engage. That's enough to consider it a fantastic expansion, though it's hard not to feel like you're just going through the motions again. With a new land to explore, a fresh set of bosses to fight, and extra lore to consume, it's so much more Elden Ring.

Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree is a knotty, dense expansion that's home to some of the best moments in Elden Ring, but also some of its most frustrating.
