Many reviews of the expansion Shadow of the Erdtree criticize its difficulty and perceive it as inferior to the base game. PC players also encounter performance issues, including crashes and micro-stuttering. These concerns have been reflected in negative Steam reviews, citing problems with the game.
Complaints about the difficulty are subjective, but the performance issues on PC are holding the game back. Many Steam reviews point out issues such as stuttering, capped frame rates, and lack of ultra-wide support. It seems these problems are exclusive to the PC release.
It is hoped that performance issues will be addressed in the future.
