I am Mr. Antisocial Souls—I don't play many multiplayer games in general, and FromSoft's offerings have always been, for me, private affairs. So I'm just as surprised as anyone that Elden Ring Nightreign's multiplayer focus has really hooked me.I still thought I'd be playing solo at least half the time until I realized that Nightreign's singleplayer experience elevates all the game's flaws to their maximum annoyance level. Two patches have...
