Is this a safe space? Can I make a confession? I still haven't finished Elden Ring. In fact, I've yet to make much further than Margit. For all the hours I sunk into The Lands Between, it never quite got its hooks into me. I'll go back and give it another shot some day, but there's a part of me that wonders if I might just be kind of done with Souls-style games for a while. Sekiro 2, though? I'd eat that up in a nanosecond.
But I don't think most people are with me in that regard. I wonder if most people would much rather FromSoft stuck to making what it does best. That'd certainly explain the current Steam reviews for Elden Ring Nightreign, which came out yesterday and quickly became FromSoft's worst-reviewed game on Steam. Now, don't get too alarmed, we're not talking the doldrums of an Overwhelmingly Negative score here or anything; Nightreign is currently Mixed, with 66% of its user reviews coming in positive.
