• “It is such an incredibly good adventure that we would not be surprised if many of you end up liking it even more than the main game. Here a new journey awaits you that you cannot miss under any circumstances. Simply essential,” they comment on Vandal.
• “Terms like ‘DLC’ or ‘expansion’ fall very short and are even insulting when used to talk about Shadow of Erdtree. What FromSoftware has done is closer to being Elden Ring 1.5 than mere downloadable content. It seemed impossible, but they have surpassed themselves again,” they review in Hobby Consolas.

• “Like the base game, Elden Ring: Shadow of Erdtree raises the bar for expansions. It takes everything that made the base game an iconic RPG, condenses it into a compact 20-25 hour campaign, and offers fantastic new challenges for fans to enjoy,” they say on IGN.
• “It is an excellent continuation of the base game. Shadow of Erdtree focuses on great level design and fantastic final boss fights, making it a must-have DLC for fans of the genre,” Gamingbolt says.
• “It’s a surprisingly confident and rewarding adventure that feels more like a sequel than a simple expansion. There’s more quality to this expansion than most games in a standalone release, and before Elden Ring, this alone would have been one of the world’s largest FromSoftware”, analyzed by VGC.
