It's huge. New map, new weapons, spells, bosses, etc...
I find it to be amazing! Go get it!!

Lots of new looking weapons and arts. New areas of the map of things we haven't yet seen in Elden Ring. Lots of new intricate boss abilities and attacks which is cool for me at least. Difficulty wise, everyone is debating due to having to acquire 2 specific items to progress your "power" in DLC only.
There are some performance issues going around for some so you might way for a few patches before.

It's basically the size of the base game it seems. Maybe a bit smaller? Considering how empty MOTG was, it's awesome. I've put 20 hours in it just exploring and progressing. Still haven't done the top half of the map.

What's more Awesome is it will work at SL1 or SL900 the same.

New map, but I'd say about 75% of it is generally the same as the original game.

New spells, but most of it is also pretty much the same.

The new weapon types they added do feel unique compared to the base game.

The bosses are... okay-ish... I'll just say the final boss of the DLC is probably FromSoft's laziest work ever. Even lazier than the Smelter Demon.

The big negative to this DLC is that the Scadutree Blessings is an absolutely unnecessary addition to the game that only serves to annoy the player. I generally dislike the term "artificial difficulty" but it's something you will feel in the DLC; especially if you're on NG+ going into it.

*Edit: Oh, and the final reward is super underwhelming.
