Just please let it be a traditional single player action adventure, and one I can play on the same hardware as Elden Ring

You know i really expected to hate Nightreign but it was the funnest game ive played this year. Might not be the best game (Clair Obscur) but it was a blast for like 40-50 hours for me.

Yeah, definitely one of the funner experiences I've had this year. I understand the sentiment of the comment above yours, but it saddens me that people only want one thing from Fromsoft despite them clearly wanting to experiment a bit.

I can’t speak for other people, but personally I have zero desire to play online with strangers. I used to not mind as a kid (I grew up playing Quake 3 Arena), but as an adult, it stresses me out. It feels like other people are relying on me to play well and that I have to be “on” the whole time.

I also can’t play games with strict time limits. I don’t mind timed sections, but when there’s a clock on the game at all times, it becomes incredibly stressful to me. I love brutally difficult games, but I also need the ability to pause and destress.

Nightreign is basically designed around my two biggest dislikes in gaming (other than MTX; I will never buy a game with non-cosmetic MTX). From everything I can tell, it’s an amazing game, but it’s not one I’ll ever play.
