Still Wakes the Deep is a short but effective game with brilliant performances, a deeply atmospheric setting and fun creature effects. Critics of the hand-holding found in the 'walking sim' genre likely won't be converted, but those looking for an engaging story they can play through in a night or two will strike oil with this one.

Shadow of the Erdtree gives all you Elden Ring masochists out there exactly what you want – a sombre, grandiose story which is more than meets the eye and a gorgeous new land to explore with a ludicrous amount of nooks and crannies in which to get lost and/or killed. It is a chainmail gauntlet thrown casually at your feet daring you to pick it up – if you thought FromSoft was running out of new ways to torture you, then let Shadow of the Erdtree convince you otherwise. This DLC is as expansive in size and scope as some full games, and represents the work of a studio at the height of its power, a studio showing little sign of slowing down anytime soon.

I’m both happy and sad that Shadow of the Erdtree is the first and last expansion for Elden Ring. On one hand, it’s a masterfully woven experience that expands on the contents of the base game, whereas on the other it leaves much more to be desired with its disappointing final boss. That being said, it’s still very much worth your time if you’re craving some more Elden Ring.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is the lore and gameplay continuation that we all needed. The new challenges and a feeling of nostalgia help propel this DLC into the stratosphere. (Review Policy)

Si From Software a encore beaucoup de progrès à réaliser en ce qui concerne l’ergonomie de leurs productions ou encore sur la partie strictement technique avec un jeu qui souffre encore sur PC de quelques stutterring ici et là, nous avons déjà sanctionné cet aspect en 2022 lors de notre critique d’Elden Ring et nous ne sommes pas défenseur de la double peine. D’autant que des progrès ont été fait sur la partie ergonomie du jeu avec une carte bien plus lisible et contenant beaucoup plus d’informations qu’auparavant. Même si cela doit rester un chantier prioritaire pour les développeurs japonais, Shadow of the Erdtree reste époustouflant en termes de qualité et de quantité. Il est la cerise parfaite sur le gâteau déjà hors pairs qu’était Elden Ring.

FromSoftware says Shadow of the Erdtree is the only expansion Elden Ring will get, so it’s fortunate that it’s hard to imagine a better DLC than this – as long as you’re not hoping for it to do anything radically outside the box. Everything I loved about the original has been condensed into an incredibly tight package – one that’s the size of many standalone games all on its own, and can only be considered “small” in comparison to the absolutely massive world of Elden Ring itself. Erdtree’s absolutely jam-packed with secrets, valuable treasures, challenging boss battles, and horrific monstrosities to face off against, as well as cool new weapons, spells, Ashes of War, Spirit Ashes, talismans, and more to play around with and use to find even more novel ways to tackle its memorably brutal battles. Add on some very interesting lore revelations, not to mention the same spectacular visual design and stellar music that accompanies its larger-than-life bosses, and you’ve got what is certainly one of the best DLC expansions I’ve ever played.

Shadow of the Erdtree s’impose comme une évidence. FromSoftware a pris son temps pour imaginer la première — et seule — extension d’Elden Ring, et la proposition dépasse les attentes. Portée par une direction artistique sans cesse surprenante, la nouvelle région s’appuie sur une architecture presque unique dans le paysage vidéoludique. Le DLC est un empilement de labyrinthes tous plus impressionnants les uns que les autres. Ces environnements très travaillés encouragent une exploration approfondie, matérialisant une course aux secrets et aux passages dérobés, entre des ennemis qui veulent notre mort. Elden Ring: Shadow of Erdtree magnifie le sentiment de liberté et la quête de découverte nés dans le jeu de base. Dommage, simplement, que le casting de boss n’ait pas bénéficié d’autant de soin.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree is an incredible expansion and a worthy follow up to the generation's best game. In some ways, it's better than the original by providing an experience that's both tighter, but also more than double the length we expected. A sequel-sized sensation.

With a slick presentation and an incredibly fun combat system, all the right pieces are here for The Rogue Prince of Persia’s success. But while running on walls and zooming through enemies are fast-paced joys, the repetition you’ll face and the faint whisper of a story that loosely ties things everything together wear thin far too quickly as of its Early Access launch. It will undoubtedly be fascinating to watch The Rogue Prince of Persia fill out as time goes on, but both bug fixes and more of pretty much every good thing need to be equal priorities in its upcoming updates to move the needle to something great. Some of that has already arrived, so I’m at least optimistic The Rogue Prince of Persia could have what it takes to one day become the next major roguelite favorite, but it’s pretty far from that goal where it sits now.

Tout au long de l’aventure, Still Wakes The Deep parvient habilement à alimenter la tension qui guide le joueur. Une intrigue très bien narrée, des personnages attachants, des moments d’émotions, un gameplay classique mais parfaitement maitrisé, une entité menaçante, et un énorme travail fait sur l’immersion : le jeu de The Chinese Room a tout ce qu’il faut (ou presque) pour répondre aux attentes des plus fervents fans de survival-horror.

Still Wakes the Deep è il più classico dei walking simulator. Si tratta di un horror psicologico dai sistemi di gioco striminziti, sin troppo basilari, con interazioni comandate, strade sempre guidate e nessuna reale sfida per il giocatore. Trattandosi di un titolo fortemente orientato alla narrazione, con una storia che funziona piuttosto bene e un'idea di base da manuale dell'horror, tutte queste scelte a monte potrebbero essere comprensibili; ma se al di là del comparto tecnico non si notano differenze con un gioco del 2010, allora è evidente come le mancanze siano sin troppe per chi aveva l'intenzione di ripresentarsi sul mercato con ben altre ambizioni.
