BelgerModder4414: the most difficult task for a souls fan will be finding two friends lol

RanmaSaotome1_2: This is Mitchell Saltzmann who reviewed Elden Ring originally and gave it a 10. He's also IGNs resident sweaty gamer. Definitely trust his opinion with this.

DereckLarge: No Duos, crossplay, and voice chat is unacceptable in this day and age, especially for a multiplayer centric game.

Ann-mq2te: No voice chat is just a completely dumb decision in a game that really requires working together

4KazGaming: Hmmm, honestly stunned that there aren’t Summon options for solo play and cross play for multiplayer..

porpa9998: They gave it a 7

McdonaldeS1986: Should have at least 2 AI controlled characters for solo play

Starboiiiii: Fully multiplayer focused game

monitar123: Wait, no cross play? Damn, that’s disappointing at this age of games

efratagung2440: Very bold of Miyazaki to think I have two friends to play with...

kizaruthegreat: If it is made for 3 people i feel they maybe should have gone the dragon dogma route. For those who wanna play solo still getting ai companions to take some aggro since enemies spawn for and have the agression for 3. Maybe build your own team at the start or something.

chavsny1578: This sounds like a complete nightmare to play with randoms.

christopherlyndsay8611: Not getting this game until they add duos. It’s a ridiculous oversight that they don’t have it as an option.

cattysplat: Most Souls and Elden Ring players are solo. This is a hard sell if you require multiplayer to beat bosses designed for multiple players.

Sekiberius24: Damn, this review sounded a lot more like a 5/10.

bourne.: a tldr for everyone who doesnt wanna watch the video:

Basically solo play bad due to balancing issues

but multiplayer very good and fun

vineethsai1575: No crossplay is such a dealbreaker for me. I want to play this on my PS5 relaxed on the couch and my friends dont have a PS5.

HaruVibes_: Will be interesting to see how Duskbloods shapes up in comparison

dereknyabamba: A 4K review from IGN? Gotta be an anomaly

LowLeveledPower: What i loved about Elden Ring was taking my time as a solo player and exploring the entire world at my own pace....

For those reasons, I am passing on Nightreign, but I'm sure it's fun with the right people who have the time to all be on at the same time.

MrWesley145: This should have been an add on for the main game.

jetleb: This was refreshingly detailed and well argued review. Thanks and kudos to the reviewer.

SoulsBorneJosho: I knew it would be the lowest soulsborne rating all along

EraVulgaris-: I don't see this lasting longer than a month tbh

antoinelajoie-cote7306: The dude complaint about RNG in a rogue like

JoaoNeves-fr8ju: The fact this game has no crossplay really killed my interest. Most of my friends played Elden Ring on PC and I played on PS5. We don't want to buy the game because then we won't be able to play together

DivineSlayer-y6v: Solo play not being good at launch....need to cancel my pre order then, i intended to play this offline Solo. EDIT yea man those Night lords having MMO wipe abilities, sheesh how the hell did they state this was playable solo.
