One would need friends who are gamers to play Nightreign, my best friend has annoyances with smart phones. Many people like me and I see it echoed online esspecially with Nightreign that this is a case of the many great looking co-op games or even our favourite games of all time like Divinity OS2 we cannot experience their co-op mode, no matter how much we like the franchise we are sidelined. We aren't all as lucky as @SvennoJ to have the perfect wife....or a wife at all for that matter.
I'm not saying Nightreign looks bad, I'm sure it's fun with friends, I remember that feeling so well as split screen was my favourite way to play games for many years right from the start but Nightreign does not exactly look stellar, if it wasn't Elden Ring I think this would be hitting scores of 60's at best. It does not look balanced even slightly, it looks as if no thought went into it at all and it's just a mish mash of ideas, zero synergy, zero cohesion. I hope I'm wrong and if I do find a gamer friend, oh fuck it would have to be a hard-core gaming friend and all for this one, I might have a good game eto play but I think they'll have to do a lot of post launch work with this one. I see so many red flags with the game but I also see people having fun gor right now in their first few runs. I suspect there will be many influencers making videos saying they don't like this in the next few days regardless. The worst part of a souls game is summoning a player to help you fight a boss and that's what this is to a tee, you already see magic users just sitting back and having a melee player pull aggro, they really REALLLY needed to implement an aggro system of some sort.
