Exceptional DLC with magnificent world design and brilliant dungeons.
Our analysis
Incredible DLC recapturing the magic with dense world and challenging bosses.
Our analysis
Dunkey satirizes the Shadow of the Erdtree difficulty backlash by playing an elitist who calls the DLC too easy, while poking at its brown visuals, swamp and sewer areas, Scadutree Fragments as easy-mode tokens, and three-hour cave detours for gear you never equip.
Our analysis
Shadow of the Erdtree keeps Elden Ring's brilliance, obscure secrets and challenging bosses. But the Shadow Realm feels oddly empty in places, heavy signposting undercuts learning through failure, and a punishing final boss feels like difficulty for its own sake.
Our analysis
Masterpiece expansion delivering an entire game's worth of content with incredible legacy dungeons, 95+ new weapons, and challenging bosses. Performance issues and some empty landmass are minor blemishes on an exceptional package.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree review. See full video for detailed analysis.
Our analysis
Shadow of the Erdtree is a full-fledged 30-hour expansion. Its denser Land of Shadow is awe-inspiring, its bosses are punishing, and its story makes Elden Ring's world feel complete. The reviewer calls it an unmissable tour de force, every bit as brilliant as the original game.
I have rarely played a game that I find so triumphantly enchanting and beautiful, and at the same time so undignified in parts.About

Our analysis
The DLC surpasses the base game with phenomenal world design featuring impressive verticality, outstanding art direction, fantastic bosses, excellent legacy dungeons, and engaging side content. The challenging difficulty pairs perfectly with a new progression system that maintains the sense of discovery and wonder from the base game.

Our analysis
An exceptional DLC that rivals the main game with enhanced combat, excellent exploration, and compelling story revealing mysteries about Maliketh. Despite extreme difficulty and some unfair boss attacks, the craftsmanship and content quality is outstanding.

Our analysis
A challenging DLC expansion that delivers on exploration and difficult boss fights, but suffers from punishing difficulty spikes, confusing access requirements, poor reward design, and an unsatisfying conclusion without proper ending cutscene.

Our analysis
An excellent DLC expansion with stunning visuals, new mechanics, improved level design and exploration that represents the best DLC experience the reviewer has played. Despite some recycled boss encounters and occasional unfair difficulty patterns, the overall generous content and satisfying challenge make it well worth the price.

Our analysis
A solid expansion that delivers more Elden Ring with great bosses and character-building options, but marred by technical performance issues and sloppy implementation in places.

For me, this is a typical 8/10 DLC. I think everyone who liked Elden Ring will be satisfied with Shadow of the Erdtree, but it's nothing amazing.
