Elden Ring, which took the gaming world by storm when it launched in 2022, has been on fans' minds ever since. While the massive DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, brought a fresh wave of excitement and even earned a spot as a Game of the Year nominee, it seems that even the best expansions can lose their luster over time. It’s just the nature of things; what once felt new can start to feel a bit repetitive as we dive deeper into the game.
