Elden Ring Nightreign Is Fromsoft’s Worst Reviewed Game on Steam

The Mixed Reception COULD BE A WARNING FOR FUTURES RELEASES

Elden Ring Nightreign‘S 66% Positive Review Rate is by Far Fromsoftware’s Worst Review Rate, With The Second Worst Going to Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the first sin, Sitting at 84% By Comparison, Making it Very Positive on Its Steam Page. This is a substantial drop-off for fromsoftware, consider how well the rest of it library has been reciped and the legendary reputation it has buds up. Nightreign COULD BE A Bump in the Road for Fromsoftware’s Multiplayer-Focused Future, with The Duskbloods PVPVE MODEL BEING THE NEXT TO RELEASE.

This hasn’t stopped the game’s populary, howver, SINCE Nightreign Has Fromsoftware’s Second-Highest Concurrent Player CountBeindy Only The Original Elden ringWhich Managed a Staggering 953,426 Players at its Peak. This Beats 2019’s Game of the Year Winner, Sequero‘S 125,315 Players, and Dark Souls 3‘S 129,975 Player Peak, Showing the Strerth and Pull of the Elden ring Ip. The Real Damage Might Be Felt Later, and This Poor Reception Could Affect the Game’s Longevity.

Early Nightreign Reactions from Players Are Mixed

It is missing Features, Not Gameplay, That Has Caused The Problem

Nightreign‘S Negative Reviews on Steam Largely Paint the Same Picture. Most Complaints Refe to The Lack of Multiplayer Features to Make the Game Click. Nightreign Lacks CrossSplay Support, A Voice Chat Feature, and doesn’t Allow Players to do a run in a duo, meaning that there is offten a random player. MANY Complain About A Lack of Communication and Coordination, with Steam User M♱Ropele Stating:

Fromsoftware Dropping The HardDest Boss Ever: Having Friends … Very Bold

While Elden Ring Nightreign Should have launched with these multiplayer Features to begin with, especilantly duo runs, it seers that the gameplay itself isn’t the problem for many. Should these features beded at a latter date with the core gameplay loop, there is still time for the steam reviews to make a recovery and fit more with the rest of the Library. The studio is demonstrating growing pains with this multiplayer title, and while not having all the online features is a huge oversight, they should be simple to fix.
