DO NOT BUY Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC - VERY Disappointing

After a two-year wait, he finished the DLC in two weeks, rated it 6.2/10, and called it bland, empty, and not worth buying. He criticizes unchanged base-game problems: sluggish combat, repetitive bosses, forced runbacks, long re-entry animations, frustrating camera, and vertical map traversal. The Bloodfiend Arm and Palm Blast made combat easy; Radahn required shield-tanking, while weapon upgrading demanded roughly ten million farmed runes.

His enthusiasm shifted into frustration with repetition, grind, weak storytelling, and an underwhelming ending.
