The release of Elden Ring was undoubtedly a seismic event in the gaming world, with nearly every player singing its praises. The news of a DLC had been eagerly anticipated by gamers worldwide, and the absence of Elden Ring updates at last year's TGA only heightened their excitement. Today, the long-awaited DLC has finally been released.

Nearly every gaming media outlet has awarded this DLC near-perfect scores, with an average rating of 9.8 out of 10. It feels as if the developers intended to reward players for overcoming the numerous challenges of the main game. The DLC content is more exhilarating and straightforward, featuring grandiose combat styles, spectacular skill effects, and a richer variety of abilities. Players can freely mix and match equipment, attribute points, skills, and blessings to create entirely new combat styles.

The variety of adversaries is also impressive. From colossal bosses to smaller soldiers, each enemy has new moves and counter-strategies. They can drop a wide range of new equipment, skills, and weapons. Compared to the base game, the content in this DLC is more dazzling, flexible, and powerful!

In terms of the storyline, the DLC presents a more direct narrative approach. The plot direction, faction conflicts, and NPC personalities and dialogues are all very straightforward. Unlike the base game, players don't need to gather items or uncover hidden elements to understand the story.

Overall, while this DLC doesn't surpass the excellence of the main game, it certainly meets and even exceeds players' expectations.
