Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is the biggest and most ambitious expansion ever developed by FromSoftware. However, it could have been flawless if it weren't for the over-the-top recycling of enemies. Even so, the challenging boss fights and the great sense of exploration with the addition of new layouts on the maps make Shadow of the Erdtree an excellent conclusion to the Elden Ring journey.

9 / 10.0 - Animal Well
Aug 10, 2024

When I stop to think that Animal Well is a product of a single person's imagination, all the positive impressions I had about the game take on even greater proportions. Animal Well applies simple concepts to create a formula that can incite the player's creativity and their ability to understand a mysterious ecosystem. A game like this doesn't come along very often and deserves to be revered whenever possible.
