I wasn't expecting a FromSoftware game, of all things, to be so gut-bustingly funny—but just like Helldivers 2, Elden Ring Nightreign turns death into a punchline

It's down to the wire in Elden Ring Nightreign. After a carefully-paced, downright strategic brawl featuring myself, and two of PC Gamer's finest Nightfarers, we've got the Equilibrious Beast on the ropes. Two measly percent stand between us and victory. Our Duchess goes down. Me and my raider-in-arms exchange a look: It's all or nothing.

Time slows to a crawl and crystalises, as adrenaline and cortisol scream through my system. I make the choice then and there: Killing the boss is more important than reviving our Duchess.
