Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree – A Journey Back to Legacy Dungeons? 🌳 I’ve been diving into Elden Ring's latest DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, and it’s been quite the ride! After watching countless Twitch streams and YouTube videos about the game, I realized how much of a dense, dungeon-heavy experience it looks like, such as FromSoftware's older titles. ⚔️ Shadow of the Erdtree seems to offer a refreshing change! 🍉 The interconnected legacy dungeons bring back that classic, layered design I fell in love with in original Dark Souls. Instead of spending hours wandering through vast, empty fields, It looks like now it's more about exploring intricate fortresses, caves, and spooky forests. It's like each dungeon is a new adventure, packed with challenges and surprises. 🎁 But here’s the thing – while I love Elden Ring's open-world design, it can be a bit overwhelming. Often, a massive map and endless items might leave you relying on guides to find a way forward. I saw other players on Twitch struggling with the same thing, and it made me think which is better: a vast open world or a more focused experience to make it more immersive? 🤔 I could argue that Shadow of the Erdtree seems to show me the good side of a more compact, engaging world that Elden Ring hasn't been before. It really reminds me of the simplicity of FromSoftware’s earlier games. Watching streams and playthroughs of the DLC has really driven home how much I appreciate those tightly-knit, immersive dungeons.👍 So, what do you think? Have you tried Shadow of the Erdtree yet? Do you prefer the vast open world or the dense, dungeon-heavy design? Let me know in the comments! 😎 I still haven't personally played it, but I will!✨ #EldenRing #ShadowOfTheErdTree #FromSoftware #DarkSouls #OpenWorld #Dungeons #DLC
