For further coverage, check out our Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree PS5 review. Awarding the DLC an 8/10, we concluded: "By doubling down on what made the base game so sublime, FromSoftware has crafted an Elden Ring expansion that's just as great as it is familiar. Shadow of the Erdtree delivers more of the same style of content you loved two years ago rather than introducing new ways to engage."
