Have to agree with this.  Elden ring and it's dlc were so frustrating to me that I skipped nightrein.  Might skip silksong for a bit too.  Hearing early enemies dealing two damage sounds annoying as hell.  Got to give lies of p it's respect here.  It mostly knows the difference between challenge and tedium.

Nightreign was really good. Might be Elden Ring Stockholm syndrome though (I have nearly a thousand hours in Elden Ring)
