Summary

Players of Elden Ring: Nightreign are finding it hard to adjust to the updated controls compared to the original game. New mappings for consumable Sacred Flasks and items have raised confusion. Some gamers are also having difficulties remembering the controls for sprinting, particularly with the addition of the Surge Sprint feature.

• Key Issues:
  • Control Changes: The refillable Sacred Flask is now on the X/Square buttons, roles that were previously occupied by “Use Item” in the original game, leading to muscle memory issues for returning players.
  • Mixed Reviews: Feedback on Steam emphasizes the game’s rocky balancing and challenging solo play experiences, contributing to its mixed ratings.
