The final boss of the DLC is really like all the worst parts of From boss design thrown into one.

I also hate how most DLCs of any game try to cater so much to the hardcore players by amping up the difficulty. I want more of what the basegame did, I don't want "more challenging". Hell, even Astro Bot's free extra content misses this by adding just more challenge levels when those are often the least fun levels in the games.

I remember the 2nd DLC for Nioh 2 getting really crazy like this, too. Not sure I ever finished that one.

As for Elden Ring… If you told me before SotE happened that I’d walk away from paid-for FromSoft content, I never would have believed you. I just got so tired of wandering around wide open spaces hoping a twinkly bauble would pop up and make the next boss (if I could even find it) slightly more survivable.

Started Death Stranding 2 last night. So far it's all getting familiar with mechanics from the first game.
