Real-World Experience

Elden Ring’s long-awaited DLC feels like a letdown, failing to deliver on the epic scale and groundbreaking gameplay that made the base game a masterpiece. The new areas feel uninspired, with repetitive bosses and lackluster challenges. While the visuals are stunning, they can’t mask the shallow gameplay and frustrating difficulty spikes that make the DLC a chore instead of an enjoyable extension of the Elden Ring experience.
