A new Elden Ring mod that is now available for download further improves the game’s visuals by introducing a new feature that also enhances the game’s atmosphere.
The Force Dynamic Shadows mod, which can be downloaded from Nexus Mods, forces dynamic shadow casting from light sources, which makes quite a difference in most instances, as highlighted in the comparison screenshots below. Like every other mod developed for the game, the Force Dynamic Shadows mod should only be used offline to avoid any issues. It also only works with the game’s latest version, version 1.09.1.
Since its release back in February 2022, Elden Ring received plenty of mods that improved both visuals and gameplay, alongside official updates that introduced new features, such as ray tracing support and the Colosseums. Even without these, however, the game by FromSoftware is an action role-playing game that is more than worth anyone’s time, as I highlighted in my review.
I tried hard to find any faults in Elden Ring, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find any outside of some technical issues that the developers could fix via patches. I firmly believe that perfection doesn’t exist and that it is always possible to improve, but I really couldn’t think of anything that Elden Ring could have done better. As such, the game wholly deserves a perfect score, an honor I would have given only to a couple of other modern games, not only for its extremely high quality but also for what it accomplished with its open world and for how it will surely influence video games as a whole in the future.
Elden Ring is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One worldwide. A major expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, is now in the works.
