With the dust beginning to settle, the title ended up with a score of (despite us at 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:TheGamer giving it a 4.5/5), something which has left many long-time ꦐSouls fans balking. Fear not, however, for as low as it may seem, the game is actually one of FromSoft's best-reviewed ever.
Elden Ring Nightreign Becomes One Of FromSoftware's Best-Reviewed Games Ever
Before FromSoftware became known for the 'Souls' genre, it was a studio with quite a diverse portfolio. Sure, it released dozens of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Armored Core games, which were met with mixed reactions, 🅷but many of its earlier titles were heavily Japanese-inspired action RPGs, some of which hit, and many of which didn't. In the early 2000s, the company put out such classics as Shadow Assault - Tenchu, Murakumo: Renegade Mech Pursuit, and King's Field 4: The Ancient City.
That past is long forgotten, though. Since the arrival of Hidetaka Miyazaki in 2004 and the esteemed release of Demon's Souls in 2009, the trajectory o🅠f FromSoftware as we know it has been altered.

Otogi: Myth of Demon's and🍌 Otogi 2: Immortal Warriors take up the ninth and tenth spots, respectively, then we get into FromSoftware's modern domination.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon took eighth with a score of 86, but the seven best-reviewed games in FromSoftware's history have all been directed or heavily influenced by M🍷iyazaki.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Demon's Souls, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dark Souls, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dark Souls 3 are joint fifth on 89, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is fourth on 90, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dark Souls 2 is third on 91, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bloodborne is second on 92, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Elden Ring is comfortab🐲ly first, with a score of 96.

Further Analysis
It's worth noting that although the list has 39 games, FromSoft did develop Japanese exclusive titles and games that pre-dated Metacritic, meaninไg not every title developed is on the list.
There was a clear shift i🃏n quality over quantity at FromSoftware in the late 2000s. The company released far fewer titles, and the ones that it did release generally scored far higher. Historically, though, it has had some stinkers.
Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor, released for the Xbox 360's Kinect in 2012, received a from 58 critic reviews. Games Master UK scored the game a 6/100, saying, "At some point, From Software must have been aware that their game was literally unplayable, but𝓰 by then it was too late."
Shadow Assault - Tenchu fared slightly better,♒ from just eight reviews, but it received equally scathing criticism, with one reviewer saying,❀ it "feels as though the developers just wanted to put out an Xbox Live Arcade title for a quick buck."
The final game worth laughinꦜg at is Murakumo: Renegade Mech Pursuit, which . IGN said, "The fact is that it's just awful. Awful, awful, awful. It's ugly, frustrating, and extremely repetitive," and almost 🍸every other reviewer agreed.
So, while Elden Ring Nightreign's review scores are a bit of a shock in the con♍text of modern FromSoft, just be thankful we've got this version of the c🔯ompany, and not the early one.
