The dust is beginning to settle after one of the biggest games of the summer, FromSoftware's Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, launched this week, and some players aren't happy. The highly anticipated new DLC dropped to a "mixed" review score on Steam over the weekend amid mounting complaints of performance issues and difficulty spikes that make even the infamously tough-as-nails base game look like Super Weenie Hut Juniors by comparison.
As of writing this, more than 26,000 players have weighed in on Steam. And while just over half (14,500~) of the user reviews speak very positively of Elden Ring's first major expansion, a few reoccurring criticisms are gaining traction. Chief among them is Shadow of Erdtree's performance on PC.
