Sure, let’s dive right in. So, have you ever just kinda stared at a FromSoftware game and thought, “Why, oh why do they love making gravity our enemy?” Yep, same here. You watch players face off with bosses or mobs, and then see them plummet to their doom. It’s almost comical. Anyway, quirky observation took a wild twist in Nightreign, a new realm in the Elden Ring series, where falling is now—believe it or not—celebrated!
So here’s a thing I couldn’t shake off: FromSoftware, which practically specializes in punishing players via unexpected drops, has suddenly turned all “jump happy.” Players can leap off cliffs like it’s nothing. I mean, picture a game where slipping on a rock didn’t spell your doom. Nightreign decided, “Let’s just let players fall without faceplanting into a ‘Game Over’ screen.” Wild, right?
It’s kinda funny to see a game embracing this fall-fest. Gone are the days (well, in this world anyway) when every slope was a looming death threat. You’d expect chaos, but nope, it’s… freeing. Maybe it’s the gaming equivalent of realizing roller coasters aren’t that scary after all? Or maybe not—what do I know. It’s like, one moment you’re contemplating every step, the next, you’re basically out there vaulting off peaks. Nuts, right?
The quirky side of me wonders if FromSoftware had a change of heart (or gravity?), flipping the script we’ve memorized so well. I mean, are they giving us a break? Who knows. But in jarring contrast to their history, these massive leaps aren’t about terror anymore—just part of the exploration vibe. You skid down and just shrug it off. It’s like, “Oops, missed that ledge—no biggie!” Which I guess is as close as we get to a chill vibe in a FromSoftware universe.
But hey, here’s the kicker: gonna be real amusing when folks try jumping haphazardly back in Elden Ring. Spoiler: probably won’t work so well! Nightreign might spoil us, but reality checks will hit like… uh, gravity? Yeah, you get me.
So, is this shift a sneak peek for future projects? Could FromSoftware be tossing in unexpected twists, again? Maybe! Either way, this bonkers, fall-friendly playground is here now—so jump in and, you know, try not to get too comfy with all that soaring freedom. Who knows, might get reeled back to earth—and old-school “Game Over” screens—sooner than expected!
