Incredible DLC recapturing the magic with dense world and challenging bosses.
Ambitious but plagued by poor tutorials, confusing quests, and excessive platforming. Satirical critique.
DLC adds excellent bosses and large new map but overall package disappoints vs expectations.
Masterpiece of open-world design translating From Software formula into massive seamless world with unparalleled exploration.
Three-player PvE game set in Elden Ring universe with battle royale-style shrinking map instead of traditional Dark Souls gameplay. Stressful but fun co-op experience with multiple character classes.
Dunkey delivers a gatekeeping commentary on the Elden Ring DLC, claiming it's too easy and only for hardcore players. He mocks casual players while praising the DLC's artistic vision and boss design.
Masterpiece that delivers astounding world scale with refined combat and accessibility options. FromSoftware's most open and accessible souls-like, enabling new audiences to experience genre.
Technically impressive DLC with Elden Ring's signature brilliance, but undermined by excessive signposting and brutal final boss.
Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree review. See full video for detailed analysis.
A generational, magnum-opus open world that trusts the player, rewards exploration at every turn, and offers phenomenal progression with flexible respec-friendly builds and a deep Ashes of War system. Criticisms after 100+ hours include reused bosses, spammy mob encounters, frustrating chariot dungeons and sewers, camera trouble on large bosses, never-improving performance, and balance concerns like overpowered bleed and summon-dependent fights. Still an easy buy and a game-of-the-year frontrunner.
Combat depth, build variety, Spirit Ashes, and exceptional world design; some repeating mini-bosses and camera issues but overall masterpiece.
An unmissable expansion that stands as a staggering achievement in worldbuilding and game design, delivering 30 hours of masterfully crafted dark fantasy adventure that rivals the original game.
