One of the big surprises of this edition of The Game Awards 2024 has undoubtedly been Elden Ring: Nightreign , and at 3DJuegos we have had the opportunity to test it extensively. Today I come to tell you about my experience in the six hours that I was able to be at the controls of the most peculiar title of the modern FromSoftware. I'll tell you one thing in advance, as soon as I can try it again, it will take me a long, long time to let it go. If I had to be reductive and define Nightreign in a few words, I'd say it's Elden Ring's Hunt: Showdown , but without any PvP.
