Shadow of the Erdtree is, in my opinion, an improvement on what was already a 10/10 game.
I am shocked that most of the discourse is about the game being too hard. It seems like we all collectively need to learn the Margit lesson again. 🧵

- Replying to @BushyGamesThere is literally only 4 required bosses to beat the game. If you're stuck on a boss, slamming your head against a wall, and getting frustrated it is almost certainly not required. And your time would be better spent exploring elsewhere and upgrading your character.
