Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree slips to ‘Mixed’ rating after fan difficulty complaints

Elden Ring’s highly-anticipated and critically acclaimed Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has slumped from a ‘Positive’ score on Steam to ‘Mixed’ with over 31,921 reviews, with most lower scores complaining about the expansion’s notoriously high difficulty.

Complaints range from “complete disrespect to the player” to the fact that the new DLC has “cranked up the difficulty up through purely artificial means,” with one player even declaring they “don’t think [they] enjoyed a single boss in the DLC.” The bosses’ health and damage have increased compared to the Elden Ring and higher attack speeds of the bosses make it impossible to dodge them, some fans have suggested in their reviews, making the experience feel “miserable.”
