    Elden Ring Nightreign The Forsaken Hollows knows its audience and is a near-perfect addition for fans of Soulslikes.

    The Forsaken Hollows expands the Elden Ring Nightreign experience with a new map filled with secrets and two truly memorable final battles. If you liked the main game, it's the perfect excuse to continue playing.

    The Forsaken Hollows enhances Elden Ring Nightreign with a little more content that, while not essential, will leave die-hard FromSoftware fans with a good taste in their mouths. Some additions are not perfect, but the DLC does not fail to deliver the epic and demanding moments that are the hallmark of the franchise.

    Elden Ring Nightreign has a solid core of fans, and The Forsaken Hollows is a welcome reward — albeit one that sets them back $15 — for their continued engagement. It might bring a few players back, at least for a while. The new map and Nightlords are quality FromSoft challenges, and the new day bosses are a relief for weary players, but the new classes are nothing truly special. The Forsaken Hollows brings a degree of freshness to the by-now familiar Nightreign, but it’s hard not to think the content could have been rolled out over the past six months for free.

    While Elden Ring Nightreign The Forsaken Hollows' new characters are truly great, the lack of new weapons proves to be a sticking point. Hardcore players shouldn't hesitate to download this DLC, but more casual fans best wait for a sale.

    While The Forsaken Hollows is a must-have DLC pack for players who enjoy Nightreign, it doesn't offer.
