Elden Ring: Nightreign is one of FromSoftware's worst rated games since the Souls era. The studio set the bar extremely high for itself
Elden Ring: Nightreign received solid reviews, but it's still one of FromSoftware's worst-rated games in years. The Japanese studio has set the bar very high for itself.
For years, FromSoftware has been delivering great games, which regularly receive high ratings in industry media. Yesterday, reviews of Elden Ring: Nightreign appeared online, and it seems that while it's a decent game, it's also one of the studio's lowest-rated games since the beginning of the Souls era.
Nightreign and other FromSoftware games
Currently, on Metacritic, Nightreign for PS5 has an average rating of 78/100 (this score is also displayed on the main game card), calculated based on the highest number of reviews - 72. In the case of PC, the game scored 79/100, and for XSX/S - 87/100. This is undoubtedly a great result, which, however, pales a bit due to the very high bar set by FromSoftware's previous titles.
- Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree - 94/100
- Elden Ring - 96/100
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon - 86/100
- Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - 90/100
- Dark Souls 3 - 89/100
- Bloodborne - 92/100
- Dark Souls 2 - 91/100
- Dark Souls - 89/100
- Demon's Souls - 89/100
It's worth noting that the above averages may vary slightly depending on the platform (the comparison includes ratings for releases with the highest number of reviews).
The last major game by FromSoftware, which received lower ratings than Nightreign, was Ashes of Ariandel for Dark Souls 3 (71/100).
Elden Ring: Nightreign is a solid title, but it has its issues
So, FromSoftware has really made a strong entrance into the world of cooperative games, but there have been a few significant problems along the way.
For example, according to our reviewer, the game can engage us in very long battles with some bosses and doesn't have a well-balanced single-player mode. If you are interested in the full review, you can find it below.
Elden Ring: Nightreign will be released tomorrow, on May 30, on PC, PS4, PS5, XOne, and XSX/S.
