Anyone who knows me knows Im not aDark Soulsguy.
I totally get why people like them.
Overcoming brutally difficult games can be incredibly rewarding.
But at 34, I just dont feel like I have anything to prove anymore.
Not wanting to turn down the invitation, I went to the preview anyway.
To be honest, there are some things about Nightreign that intrigued me.
If you beat the boss youll begin a new cycle, now with harder enemies and even better rewards.
This is another reason Ive never been willing to invest my time into these games.
I dont like the feeling of having my time wasted.
This makes failure feel way less punishing because its easier to accept that its just part of the game.
Its exciting to start over too.
Nightreigns world has a fixed layout, but there are semi-randomized events in each run.
Most importantly, youre never failing alone.
Its just not as devastating or personal when you all fail together.
It gives you plausible deniability.
Who messed up and made us lose?
I like the games that Nightreign borrows from other than Elden Ring.
The combat is awkward, the world feels generic, and the boss fights are way too hard.
