i'm normally not big on multiplayers and bought this game only because i trusted that FromSoft wouldn't let me down, and, sure enough, i've had tons of fun with this game. i've only played with randoms so far, but i haven't had any major issues with teammates in my 100+ hours of play. the combat is as satisfying as you'd expect from FromSoft. and while the game isn't easy (particularly when playing against an event boss), it should be less intimidating to most players than FromSoft's other games, since you always have allies helping you (unless you run off on your own). highly recommended.

Solid Game - but can be very hard for Normies. This game is not an Elden Ring expansion, it's a standalone game that favors multiplayer 3 man teams. Single player is very hard to make even the 2nd Day event. Still it's a From Software game which most fans of them will like.

My son got me into the Elden Ring series of games. They are rather difficult but fun to play. I am still learning the platform but so far the game is great. I enjoy playing the online portion sonother players can assist in conquering enemies and bosses.

After sinking over 200 hours into Elden Ring: Nightreign and proudly earning the Platinum Trophy, I can confidently say this is one of the most breathtaking and unforgettable gaming experiences I’ve ever had. FromSoftware has once again redefined what an action-RPG can be, building upon the original Elden Ring with darker themes, richer lore, and even more brutal, rewarding combat.
Nightreign delivers an atmosphere dripping with tension and mystery. The new regions—twisted wastelands, shadow-soaked ruins, and night-haunted castles—are not just visually stunning but narratively dense, rewarding exploration with secrets, new builds, and lore that deepens the mythos. The boss fights are on another level—ferocious, beautiful, and each one unforgettable in design and mechanics.
The fact that I poured over 200 hours into this game and still felt like I was discovering something new every session says everything. Earning the Platinum wasn’t just a badge of honor—it was a journey through sheer grit, mastery, and immersion. Every challenge was worth it, and every moment was an adrenaline rush.
If you’re a fan of the Soulsborne genre or just appreciate top-tier game design, Nightreign is a must-play. It’s not just DLC—it’s a fully realized extension of a modern classic, and it absolutely delivers.

"Elden Ring Nightreign" for PlayStation 5 is a truly fantastic and unexpected gem! As a long-time fan of Elden Ring, I was curious to see how a roguelike twist would play out, and I'm genuinely impressed. The fast-paced, cooperative gameplay is incredibly addictive, and it’s a blast teaming up with friends to take on the Nightlords. Each run feels unique thanks to the diverse Nightfarers and the ever-changing Limveld. It's a brilliant blend of familiar elements with a fresh, high-energy approach that makes it incredibly replayable. If you love Elden Ring and are looking for something new and exciting, this is definitely worth picking up!

Way better than base Elden Ring. If base Elden Ring launched with the QOL changes that Nightreign has then it would be a GREAT game. Nightreign is superior

First, you need to be familiar with Elden Ring to get the most out of this one. The circle closing mechanic adds excitement to the Souls formula, and jolly co-operation has never felt more necessary. However, queueing can take forever, and people will leave your expedition constantly. So there's RNG in multiple ways, but 70 hours in still having a blast.

It's a roguelite Elden Ring where each expedition takes the course over 3 nights (if you can survive, that is), which takes about 40-45 minutes in real life. You'll see familiar enemies from the game of Elden Ring as well as bosses from other FromSoftware games like Dark Souls. The game is fun and can get addicting. With 8 characters to choose from each having their own storyline, there's quite a bit of replay value. I've already put in over 50 hours into the game.
