Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree review – FromSoftware has never been better
There are some games you wish you could forget playing just to experience them for the first time all over again. For me, Elden Ring is one of those games, and after spending nearly 50 hours with Shadow of the Erdtree, I’m delighted to say it evokes that very same feeling.
Elden Ring‘s expansion isn’t without its flaws, but it’s artisanally crafted and a joy to explore. It’s impressively expansive, packed to the brim with secrets, and hauntingly beautiful from start to finish. From the moment I set foot in the Land of Shadow, I was stunned by its gorgeous scenery and captivated by its world, but the most impressive thing of all is the sheer scale of what’s on offer.
