Disappointed and kind of pissed; yes – you can play Nightreign solo but it is a real pain in the butt; it is frustrating and way more aggravating than a “game” should be. Elden Ring was completely playable solo and that’s how I play – solo. I play for fun, for personal challenge, as an escape from reality but primarily for FUN. Nightreign, for me, is not fun. Yes, I’ll keep playing but probably not with any regularity and I sure, as hell, am not going to recommend it.

I play on the PS5 system, graphics are good, the mechanics are fairly easy but the options for solo play leave much to be desired. You need to embark on expeditions, there’s no wandering around, discovering areas first, as far as I can tell. You absolutely have to embark on the assigned expeditions. There are some days where I just want to wander around a game’s layout but that’s not possible with this game. I am not loving the “expeditions”. Frustrating, even aggravating. Not the escape I had hoped, it is, so far, just a headache in the making. I’m finding it difficult to get invested in the story.

It could be that I’m simply not used to the style Bandai has created for the game. I’ll keep playing, maybe I am missing something.

The game is great for folks that enjoy the team play experience but for solo players, for me? So far, it sucks.
