Eurogamer plays Shadow of the Erdtree! (Patreon)

Unfortunately it's impossible to convey in a flat video the sense of grandeur that you get from playing an exquisitely beautiful game like Elden Ring - Shadow of the Erdtree in VR. The epic size of everything, from giant monsters to castles, to mountains, to the Tree itself; the incredible feeling that the world around you is real.

Yet somehow Ian Higton manages to do just that. Please like and subscribe, if you haven't done that yet, because VR needs amazing communicators and evangelists like Ian in order to survive the indifference of the "mainstream".

By the way, this DLC has been criticized by some as being too difficult, with excessively tough bosses. It might be, although my personal opinion is that FromSoftware is perfectly entitled to make their games as hard as they please. After all, it's not like there's a shortage of spoon-feeding dumbed-down games out there :-)

But in case you want to take it easy, remember that my mod can also be used in tourist mode (as also showcased by Ian in the video) for harmless exploration, or with time slowed down, to rehearse and study the techniques needed to defeat the bosses... Or you can put it in first person, to dial both the immersion and the difficulty of combat up to 11!
