I don't want to say that it's a bad game, because it probably isn't. Just be prepared to be rushed literally everywhere the whole time. If you're like me and struggle to enjoy games where you can't take your time, you're not going to enjoy the game. If you're in it for speed and you already ran past enemies in your souls games to begin with, you will probably enjoy this a lot though. They have some interesting classes to pick from that I wish I could enjoy in a setting that was more suitable, but you can't really win every time, can you? xD

it's a good game overall but... the feeling you get when you load into the exact same seed you just played is really bad. during the fly in you look at the map and then you realize it's the same map you just played with the same bosses in the same places. let's just say you hate to fight the first night boss Gaping Dragon, you load in and realize you're gonna be fighting him again because you saw the same locations and bosses in the same places when you explored around the map, it just gives you no surprise for what's to come in that session. I really hope that they might fix this problem in the future. I'll still play the game ofc but this just leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

about a year ago i was talking about dark souls to my friend. "Man, I love the combat in these games, but sometimes i dont wanna do all the exploring. just lemme fight shit." then fromsoft announced "elden ring but theres no exploring you just keep fighting" life is good

It's overall a really solid spin-off game with enhanced movement and improved combat over the base game, and it gets even better when you're playing it with people or friends in voice comms over Discord. But I'd advise against queuing with the random matchmaker because more often than not you'll be matched with people who give up at every minor inconvenience which is quite frustrating at times. My biggest gripe with the game so far is that for a roguelite there's a clear lack of randomization when it comes to enemy and boss locations because at some point after playing for some time you'll just know exactly what to expect since the spawns will always remain the exact same throughout the many playthroughs. But they can easily remedy this by adding more enemies from the previous FromSoft titles because as of right now they've only reused a [i][b]very[/b][/i] small handful of them. Another thing the game could definitely use is [i][b]more[/b][/i] maps to spice things up because right ...

ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is a spinoff of the main game Elden Ring and it delivers a unique experience of its own. Out of all the amazing titles FromSoftware has released, this is the one I enjoyed the least, but it is still a good game. That alone shows how consistently strong FromSoftware is as a developer. The gameplay is very fast paced and revolves around constant fighting and dodging. This can be exciting and satisfying, but also tiring, especially since you only get one run and one chance to defeat the final boss. The main mode is built around trios rather than solo play. I love the idea of being able to beat every boss with friends, but when they are not available, matchmaking feels like a gamble. You are paired with random players you cannot speak or type to, which I feel is one of the game’s biggest flaws. FromSoftware, please fix this. On the positive side, there are eight playable characters and each one has unique abilities that keep the experience fresh. I enjoy experimen...

Elden Ring: Nightreign is a must-play for fans of fast, tactical combat and cooperative roguelites. Set on a dynamic island with intense 45-minute runs, it combines adrenaline-pumping boss fights, procedural maps, and team-focused gameplay. The combat is tight and thrilling, especially with friends, delivering a fresh and compact take on Elden Ring’s signature challenge. If you love Souls combat and multiplayer action, Nightreign is an unforgettable, high-replay-value experience you shouldn’t miss.

I really tried to love this game — I have over 2000 hours in all the From software titles combined across multiple consoles and multiple play-throughs, so yes, I truly did. But after about 80 hours, and after completing everything, I just don’t enjoy playing anymore. Every run feels like a chore, and the boss reward at the end isn’t even worth the 40-minute drag. At its core, it’s a cool idea on paper. For the first 20 or so runs, this feels like the most fun game ever made: fast-paced, quick action with cool bosses and that signature Elden Ring–style combat. Every run feels unique at first, as you discover new enemies, encounter different bosses, and try your best to create the perfect build. But all of that disappears after a while. You realize there’s barely any enemy variety, every location feels the same, the so-called “shifting” map is static and predictable, and the boss selection honestly sucks. Because of its fast-paced nature, they couldn’t include any of...

The game is fun. But it feels clunky; it's a bunch of systems for a very different game mashed into something that it isn't meant to be. The boss designs are cool and fun and built for a game like Elden Ring, where you get the chance to learn and refine your techniques without a forty-minute runup between attempts - and this is necessary, because several of the boss' mechanics are not at all clear, visually or otherwise. Getting the most out of a run necessitates playing it in the least fun ways - constant farming after the second boss, taking solo trips to the closest taking DOT damage all the while. The map isn't easy enough to navigate for anyone who isn't already intimately familiar with it, through experience. The information you have to sort through in your inventory is complex, and elemental symbols are very similar, and the game never at any point gives you a moment of rest to sort through this stuff - from the start of the run up all the way up until the second boss is defe...

Game's decently fun, but I'm going to start downvoting every single FromSoft game on PC on basic principle, because it's getting ridiculous how garbage these games run. I used to be of the opinion "haha FromSoft with their usual bad PC ports again", but it's legitimately starting to piss me off. The good: - The base thing you're playing is still recognizably Elden Ring and Elden Ring won all those GOTY awards for a good reason. The bigger changes like the super sprint, wallclimbing, etc... feel like necessary addition for this different style of game and integrate fairly decently with everything else, though the new sprinting does cheese old enemies fairly hard at times - Classes are fairly distinct from each other to offer meaningful differences in play - The new Nightreign specific bosses are pretty awesome, with the final boss being absolutely incredible and one of the best thing they have ever made full stop (not the moth though, the moth is a dumpster fire boss that can go straig...

I love this game so much. It's addicting :D I enjoy playing with friends but also with randoms too. I like that the devs listen to the community and try to make changes when needed such as adding duo mode, making the relic filter system more detailed etc. I like the updates and the everdark bosses. I can't wait to play the dlc later this year <3
