They also produced the widely popular reprint of the Dark Souls Trilogy guide.
In Eurogamer's review of Shadow of the Erdtree, Alexis Ong said: "I am still impossibly fond of Elden Ring and my time spent in its grasp, but I'm just not sure if I can share the same fullness of warmth with Shadow of the Erdtree. Despite its strange dispersion of "active" areas, and uncharacteristically infantilising hand-holding for encounters that should be learned through repeated failure, Shadow still has its share of Elden Ring's brilliance - weird little dudes and obscure secrets and goofy cheesing and all.
"But perhaps trying to combine the inherent focus of a largely self-contained DLC, with the narrative flexibility and open-world freedom of Elden Ring – the concept that set it apart from its Souls brethren - was always going to make for an incongruous match."
