ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN PS5 Standard Edition

*As of Jun. 4th the game has been patched to make solo less of a painful experience.**As of right now there is only solo play and 3 person groups, with duo groups supposedly coming later down the line.Nightreign is first and foremost a rougelike. This is not Elden ring with modified gameplay, this is a new rougelike with a souls/elden ring flare over it. Over the course of three days you will grow stronger, find treasures, and fight bosses in hopes of defeating the main last boss of the run. Every run is a full reset outside of equippable relics that give you advantages. As a pure solo player I can say this: I love playing this game but it is very very difficult. That difficulty however is why I was drawn to this game in the first place as rougelikes are always about overcoming to get that perfect run- every run is a bit more knowledge gained, a new hit on a boss that you couldnt scratch before, a new enemy defeated, a new moveset learned, etc. This is where the decision is on Nightreign: if you want more souls/elden ring you should look elsewhere, if you want a challenging rougelike with a soulslike/elden coat of paint this game delivers 100%.

This game is such a huge disappointment. Save your money and do a full speed run thru of any random area of the regular version of Eldenring and then delete all of your progress and try it again that’s the concept of this game. I’m a huge fan of dark souls and eldenring but this game stinks. They should have made another add on to the original game

i see people complaining about this game but yall need to know this is a rouge like game, not a full story mode game. If you have friends to play with, this game is for you, but if you don’t then good luck playing solo or with randoms🤷‍♀️ (I’ve had a pretty good experience with randoms) and people giving it one star or saying it’s bad suck at the game lmaooo

-The rogue elements were not done well.-The upgrades and power ups are weak.-Some bosses are overdone, things like their health pool, blinding particle effects, and movement across the map.-Solo isn’t balanced well.-Completion rewards are mediocre.-Luck based gameplay and difficulty.-Multiplayer is frustrating half of the time with people not working as a team.-Rushing around a game on a timer isn’t ideal for entertainment. Especially in a Souls game.-Fun should be the priority for entertainment, then challenge is absolutely fine when applicable. Challenge was prioritized.Some of the past Souls appeal was the environment. Taking in visuals, sounds, and atmosphere. That’s not happening much when rushing around on an unknown timer.I did complete most of the bosses, but the solo gameplay not being well thought out was a deal breaker. It was more frustrating than fun, although doable with practice. Additionally, the multiplayer is just too flawed, too chaotic, and doesn’t work well enough to be considered a fun way to spend my time.2 stars for a Souls game, sad. Should have released Bloodborne 2 or Dark Souls 4.

My husband loves this!

Awesome game, great to play with friends

I returned this game, due to finding the content boring. The seller hit me with a “damage fee” despite the game barely being used two hours in total. Do not buy.

Starting out you will question and hate alot of the decisions made with this game. If you’re familiar with the souls genre, you know the joys that await you when you stick with it, and reap the rewards. This game is about, learning the land, the weapons, the characters and the enemies. Through many failures, you’ll find yourself getting better and more fluid. I didn’t think it possible, but they managed to put the satisfaction you get when overcoming a boss in the main game, into a multiplayer experience. This game is not for most casuals, but if it hits for you, this game is insanely addictive. Give it a real try in a room where ppl cant hear you swearing at your tv, and enjoy.
