FromSoftware games are hard - you probably don't need me to tell you that by now - but Elden Ring's newly released Shadow of the Erdtree expansion may have tipped the difficulty over the edge into "frustrating" territory, as the project just debuted to a divisive fan reaction.
On Steam, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree currently sits with a 'Mixed' rating based on over 12,000 user reviews as of the time of writing. That means 38% of PC players walked away from the Land of Shadow with a negative reaction - a far cry from the base game's glowing 93% positive reception based on a whopping 627,000 reviews.
