Nightreign is so unlike every other game out there that its sheer novelty may be enough to tempt FromSoftware veterans and newcomers alike. It's polished, is easy to get into the action and has a very high skill ceiling. If players stick through its lack of direction and difficulty, they'll find a multiplayer game that feels rewarding to win in a way few other games are.

Elden Ring Nightreign blends soulslike intensity with mechanics from other genres. A high-adrenaline yet deep game, it introduces a blast of fresh air with ideas like shrinking safe zones and build-from-scratch expeditions. While solo play needs refining and asset reuse is noticeable, strong combat and co-op potential make it a worthy entry point for newcomers and a satisfying twist for veterans.

Elden Ring Nightreign departs a lot from the usual FromSoftware formula, which doesn’t always work out. From a hasty experience to boss fights you can’t learn from, it can often be frustrating. The mechanics are solid however and it might tap into a whole new audience.

I walk away from Elden Ring Nightreign with an admiration for the weird thing the team at FromSofware has crafted. Something that doesn't feel like a cheap cash-in of the namesake but an idea that the team wanted to explore. It doesn't get everything perfect, but I'd rather see developers take big swings than stay stagnant. Much like Nightreign's speedy pace, FromSoftware once again proves it's not standing still.

Elden Ring Nightreign does its best to let players have fun, get stronger, and take down big, bad bosses together. I can't speak for the greater FromSoftware fanbase, but after these shared triumphs, I'll have a hard time going back to doing it alone.

Overall, Elden Ring: Nightreign offers a fresh and different experience for fans of this beloved title and the roguelike genre, with a strong focus on co-op gameplay and fast-paced progression. While it might not appeal as much to newer or less experienced players, it will no doubt keep dedicated fans of online co-op games, Elden Ring, and the Souls series entertained for hours.

"A bold direction that exceeds expectations" Elden Ring Nightreign offers a bold and exciting shift in the identity of the Soulsborne series by incorporating co-op gameplay and fast-paced randomization. It's an experience that balances the usual challenge with innovation, rewarding cooperation, tactical intelligence, and bold exploration. Despite some reservations about the depth of the story and repetition, the game proves itself a strong and refreshing addition to the FromSoftware universe.
