Elden Ring: Nightreign review: An experiment that completely hooked me in

Elden Ring: Nightreign offers a fast-paced gameplay and a return to the kind of raw challenge I’ve come to love in soulslikes. And that’s exactly what I wanted, the more time I spent with Nightreign, the more I found myself enjoying it.

Use a Potion: 8 / 10

Brutal, bold, and brilliantly chaotic, Elden Ring: Nightreign thrives when all of its pieces fall into place. It’s not flawless, but its smart design choices and thrilling co-op gameplay prove that FromSoftware’s risks continue to pay off in exciting new ways. While repetition and technical issues hold it back from greatness, the game shines when played with friends, offering moments of pure adrenaline and triumph. It may not eclipse Elden Ring or Dark Souls, but Elden Ring: Nightreign stands tall as a bold and compelling spin-off of the successful formula.

Full Review

Impulsegamer: 4.3 / 5

I first went into Elden Ring: Nightreign during the PS5 network test some months ago, and my expectations weren't overly high. After that network text, I was left somewhat optimistic. All the FromSoft magic was there, excellent, minimalistic writing, fantastic audio, and crushing enemies. All of this has continued into the final game.

Elden Ring Nightreign won't be every FromSoft fan's cup of tea, and this is especially true if you're a lone wolf.
