Early Elden Ring Nightreign Steam reviews are the lowest of any FromSoftware game for nearly 16 years.
While the Elden Ring Nightreign player count is already surging past the combined total of all three Dark Souls games on Steam, its user reviews are lagging behind. At the time of writing, it's sitting at a 'Mostly Positive' verdict of just 73%.
To put that in some perspective, that's the second-lowest user score you can find under the 'FromSoftware Inc' developer tag on Steam. Only Dark Souls 3's Ashes of Ariandel DLC has scored lower (at a Mixed 59%), and you really have to go digging - all the way back to 2009's now delisted Ninja Blade and its 62% score - to find anything lower.
The complaints seem to fall into a few major categories. The first is the lack of duo support - you can play Elden Ring Nightreign solo or in threes, but FromSoftware admits it neglected duo support - though says it might come in a future update.
The second is the lack of ultrawide support, and the game's lock to a 60fps frame rate, which several reviewers suggest they're not prepared to accept in 2025. And the third major genre of complaint is poor keyboard support - that can obviously be dodged by those willing to use a controller, but still appears to be a notable disappointment.
Of course, there are still players whose negative reviews are indicative of personal distaste or individual hardware issues. Our own Elden Ring Nightreign review, as well as the Elden Ring Nightreign Metacritic score both suggested that Nightreign might be more of an acquired taste than even its soulslike predecessors, and it does seem that's proving true among players.
Regardless, players are still pouring into the game - the Elden Ring Nightreign player count hit 300,000 in just one hour, on Steam alone.

Today's Wordle answer for Saturday, June 7
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Welcome to your first Wordle win of the weekend. Keep it simple with an easy click through to the June 7 (1449) answer if you like, or relax, see how things go, and know that today's hint is here if you need it. Make sure you check out our general tips and tricks too—however you want to win, they can help get you there. I had a proper lightbulb moment today. Wordle didn't just give me enough clues to spot the answer (after perhaps a touch longer than I would have liked), but it gave me the pleasant surprise of instantly flipping from a state I'd describe as "Please help, can someone explain words again?" to an instant win. Well, it felt like an instant win after all the stumbling about that happened above it, anyway. When you take a cardboard delivery box and give it a second lease of life, you're doing this. Yes, there is a double letter in today's puzzle. A good starting word can be the difference between victory and defeat with the daily puzzle, but once you've got the basics, it's much easier to nail down those Wordle wins. And as there's nothing quite like a small victory to set you up for the rest of the day, here are a few tips to help set you on the right path: A good opening guess should contain a mix of unique consonants and vowels. Narrow down the pool of letters quickly with a tactical second guess. Watch out for letters appearing more than once in the answer. There's no racing against the clock with Wordle so you don't need to rush for the answer. Treating the game like a casual newspaper crossword can be a good tactic; that way, you can come back to it later if you're coming up blank. Stepping away for a while might mean the difference between a win and a line of grey squares. Win the weekend. The answer to the June 7 (1449) Wordle is REUSE. Past Wordle answers can give you some excellent ideas for fun starting words that keep your daily puzzle-solving fresh. They are also a good way to eliminate guesses for today's Wordle, as the answer is unlikely to be repeated. Here are some recent Wordle answers: June 6: EDIFY June 5: DATUM June 4: CEASE June 3: ADMIN June 2: PREEN June 1: ROUGH May 31: HABIT May 30: IDIOM May 29: QUASH May 28: POLAR Wordle gives you six rows of five boxes each day, and you'll need to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them to keep up your winning streak. You should start with a strong word like ARISE, or any other word that contains a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels. You'll also want to avoid starting words with repeating letters, as you're wasting the chance to potentially eliminate or confirm an extra letter. Once you hit Enter, you'll see which ones you've got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn't in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you've got the right letter in the right spot. Your second guess should compliment the starting word, using another "good" word to cover any common letters you missed last time while also trying to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn't present in today's answer. With a bit of luck, you should have some coloured squares to work with and set you on the right path. After that, it's just a case of using what you've learned to narrow your guesses down to the right word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words (so no filling the boxes with EEEEE to see if there's an E). Don't forget letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS). If you need any further advice feel free to check out our Wordle tips, and if you'd like to find out which words have already been used you can scroll to the relevant section above. Originally, Wordle was dreamed up by software engineer Josh Wardle, as a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family, and finally got released to the public. The word puzzle game has since inspired tons of games like Wordle, refocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It wasn't long before Wordle became so popular it was sold to the New York Times for seven figures. Surely it's only a matter of time before we all solely communicate in tricolor boxes.
