I played Shadow of the Erdtree for 50 hours...my thoughts (Spoiler-Free Review)

Shadow of the Erdtree is worth the wait. Bandai Namco sent me a review copy a few days early, so I took full advantage of the opportunity. Here are my thoughts after degenerately playing for 50 hours.

This video will not include any major spoilers whatsoever. I only show small segments of various regions that can be accessed through the starting area.

Oh my god... did not expect you got the early copy dude. Good job

FS is one of the rare studios that understands the benefits of under-promising and then over-delivering, as well as having the confidence to develope the game and release it when its truly ready. FS with Miyazaki in control is a dream come true for those who love their design philosophy.

[gagegrogan]

This was a perfect review for something without saying too much, other channels should take after cuz this was all I needed and wanted. I’m avoiding almost every other channel until release now.

I've just finished Lies of Pi. A masterpiece of it's own. I will take 1 week break and then I will proceed to enter the Shadow realm. I fucking love the grind in these games because you really feel satisfaction after finishing a level and the whole world is like a living painting with dark and fantastic tones. It also shapes our character into a better one.

Long and hard didst thou wait, tarnished warrior.

It is around the size of Limgrave in the same way water is around an island. Encompass would be a better word.

Making the "mini sequel" to Elden Ring as a big, and relatively expensive, DLC is a pretty good idea. The devs can reuse the same engine as is, while concentrating on just making new content.

Also, who's ready for 18 inches of Messmer?/

[neptwo]

this feels like a dream man. having played previous fromsoft dlcs and knowing you too have played them, and hearing you say this feels unreal
I'm just finishing up on my character I made for the dlc and I'm going to cap my level at 125 because I want to face a damn good challenge, and man does this sound like it's gonna be a pain in the ass

[siege]

Congrats on getting a copy dude - been following you for a little while and seen the growth with your Elden Ring content. Keep it up man!

[reign]

SPOILERS!!







Malenia is the Blade of Miquella

[JedBabe]

Man i cant wait to learn all the new lore

[Elbsolut]

I like how you said at the end „when the GAME fully releases“ ;) that speaks for itself

[abdelrahmankhaled]

3:30 is that ichimonji? And the sekiro parry is in the dlc. Bro cmon it's almost like elden ring is a culmination of all they learned and created through the years

[robertk]

Oh damn all those weapons look good. I really wanna get that dude's swords at 3:45.

[grantzu]

ive never been this excited for a game man this gonna be a lifetime experience just like the first playthrough of elden ring

[dijonnjuguna]

I want the lol, everyone’s leak fights but i just wanna know who messmer is and have that scene with Marika explained

[PumPkinPatch]

Holy crap! Thats awesome man! Cant wait to take the journey with you!

[Doughstroy]

I hope you are still planning on streaming the dlc on release right?.... right? 😅

[SarcasticSloth]

9:50 that boss arena looks so epic wtf, i hope the boss fits that whole "Immortal Bastion" vibe

[nationstewart]

this dlc is kicking my ass! i won’t spoil anything but some of theee bosses have taken me straight hours of nothing but attempts. i’m ng+ smth like 5 and level about 200 and im still having a great time
