Critics’ reviews for Elden Ring: Nightreign are out, making it the lowest-rated game ever produced by FromSoftware so far. This revelation has reignited debates within the Soulslike community, particularly among fans who anticipated a higher Metacritic and OpenCritic rating for
Currently, the game titled “Elden Ring: Nightreign” has a Metacritic score of 77 based on 58 reviews. The opinions expressed about this game vary widely; some describe it as an enjoyable experience for multiple players, whereas others, such as IGN’s Mitchell Saltzman, rated it 7 out of 10. This assessment was due to the game’s puzzling absence of crossplay and insufficient communication features that could enhance the gaming experience.
According to OpenCritic, Nightreign is currently doing well with a score of 79. As more reviews pour in, there’s a chance this rating might climb to an 80.
As the May 30th launch approached, fans were intrigued about what genre Nightreign would fall under. When it was disclosed that it combined survival and roguelike features, those anticipating another enigmatic single-player title from FromSoftware felt let down. However, enthusiasts of its challenging combat and unrelenting difficulty find themselves at ease with the design of Nightreign, particularly enjoying its cycle of monster hunting and striving for perfection through endless refinement.
Among FromSoftware’s contemporary collection, Nightreign is currently scoring quite a bit lower than the others, with a considerable gap. The original Elden Ring stands tall with an impressive 96 on Metacritic. The Dark Souls series varies from 84 to 91, with Dark Souls II holding the highest score and Dark Souls Remastered having the lowest.
Notable mentions also include Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which scored a 90, and Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, earning an 86.
Nightreign’s reviews, although not disastrous individually, suggest a trend in the industry that values high ratings. Positive scores frequently lead to incentives for employees and improved studio morale, while poor ratings can be detrimental to a studio as a whole.
Now that Nightreign has become FromSoftware’s least-rated game, there could be a cloud hovering over their upcoming experimental multiplayer games, such as The Duskbloods – a spiritual sequel to Bloodborne, planned for the Nintendo Switch 2.
