Elden Ring Nightreign duos mode should have been the perfect update, but it's lacking both the challenge and the chaos that make the base game so good

Elden Ring .

Elden Ring Nightreign's lack of duos support at launch was, for many, one of the game's biggest failings. It was apparently such a significant oversight that FromSoftware walked back its decision to focus purely on solos and trios within days of launch, and managed to incorporate a whole new mode within just a couple of months. But despite being a prime candidate for heading to Limveld in a party of two, Nightreign's duos mode has entirely failed to hold my attention.

I was, perhaps, one of the lucky few when it came to Nightreign's release. Among my gaming friends, only three of us play soulslikes with any form of regularity, meaning we could ensure regular three-player runs without anyone else feeling left out. We dived straight into Nightreign, and although certain bosses pushed us towards classes we'd really rather not play, we've been gradually making our way through the lineup ever since.
