Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Review Discussion
James Troughton and Jade King wax lyrically about their love for all issues Elden Ring, whereas Eric Switzer silently cheers them on from the sidelines, for he’s not Souls-literate.
Regardless of hitting the bottom working like Torrent towards the Elden Beast (effectively, after the brand new patch), plainly Shadow of the Erdtree is getting a bit more of a mixed reception from players, particularly on PC. Over the previous few days, the expansion has somehow dropped to “Mixed” reviews on Steam, with lots of them citing the identical points.
Shadow Of The Erdtree Has Dropped To “Combined” Evaluations On Steam
Reactions to Shadow of the Erdtree have been a bit blended on Twitter and Reddit over the previous few days, with many gamers shocked at how troublesome the enlargement is. That’s mirrored within the Steam evaluations for Shadow of the Erdtree, which present that numerous gamers are merely having an excessive amount of bother proper now.
A few of the hottest evaluations on the Steam web page presently are unfavorable ones that time out a number of the issue points, just like the Shadow Realm Blessing system being “flawed” and executives taking gamers out in a single or two hits. In the meantime, different evaluations say that the enemy placement feels “rushed” and that bosses have “overinflated” well being bars.
“I am hoping for a steadiness patch that makes this even barely extra bearable to play. I do not know the way individuals are defending this.”
Whereas the complaints about issue are subjective, one factor that does appear to legitimately holding the sport again on PC is its efficiency points. Lots of the Steam evaluations level out that Shadow of the Erdtree is presently having some points on PC, comparable to stuttering, the framerate being capped at 60, and no ultra-wide help.

This appears to be a problem unique to the PC launch, as I have never seen many complaints about that on consoles presently.
Even when FromSoft would not do something concerning the issue (or gamers simply learn to use the brand new levelling system a bit higher), let’s hope that the efficiency points do get mounted sooner or later for PC gamers. I am undecided if we’ll see a Helldivers 2 stage of evaluation resurgence, however it may quell a number of the anger.
