FromSoftware's curious co-op roguelike spinoff Elden Ring Nightreign is finally here, and perhaps unsurprisingly, it's off to a more decidedly rocky start than most of the storied developer's games tend to be at launch. Critic reviews were generally positive (though less so than is typical of FromSoftware), but even as over 2 million play in its first 24 hours, the initial fan reception to the title has been quite mixed.
Common complaints about the game include some disappointing map and enemy variety (something I discussed at length in my review), the lack of a two-player duos option (you can only play solo or in a trio), and the absence of crossplay. Another big one is Nightreign's solo play balancing — but while it's up in the air if the former issues will be addressed, FromSoftware has confirmed it's planning to improve the solo experience in a new update patch next week.
