ELDEN RING:
Shadow of the Erdtree is a staggering expansion, not only for its massive size—it’s about as big as half of the original map—but for the ways it challenges the assumptions we had about the nature of its world, coming from the main campaign, and the limits of an open-world narrative.
SotE rivals Dark Souls with a corkscrew world design layered with wondrous and horrific secrets to discover. FromSoftware has perfected its command over creating a dark fantasy world layered with history and details that cement Elden Ring as one of the most creative and satisfying action RPGs ever made. Old enemies return in new contexts, weapons, and spell types stretch your approach to combat with acrobatic animations and potent synergies with existing items, and new characters come to blur the morality of major figures we’ve spent hundreds of hours learning about. Shadow of the Erdtree’s storytelling is so masterfully embedded into the fabric of everything you see and do that it’s practically elemental.
