Elden Ring Nightreign just dropped, and folks are buzzing, some with excitement, some with—well, let’s call it constructive feedback. Yeah, people are saying, “Hey, solo play’s kinda punishing.” And honestly, who didn’t see that coming? It’s FromSoftware, after all—difficulty is their middle name. Or, maybe it’s “balance issues”? Ha, who knows.
So, the devs are on it. They tweeted (or X-ed—is that a thing now?) that Patch 1.02 is on the way. Next week-ish. I mean, the whole “once per night boss battle” self-revive thing sounds nifty for us lone wolves. Plus, more runes when you clobber enemies! We’re practically rich. In the game, at least. My real wallet? Not so much.
But, let’s be real. Solo adventurers will still have their hands full. Trying to channel your inner Let Me Solo Her? Good luck, my friend. Nightreign was built for three-person co-op chaos. It’s like, “Here, have some bosses. Oh, and a horde of enemies too.” Kind of like life, isn’t it? Just when you think you’ve got it handled, bam, curveball. Anyway—uh, wait, what was I saying? Yeah, good luck out there.
