Nightingale (early access). New games of February - last month of winter's hot

Nightingale, Inflexion Games, 2024.

Release date: February 22, 2024

Fairy-tale online survival

Aaryn Flynn worked on Mass Effect and Dragon Age and will now deliver Nightingale. This is a fairy-tale survival game, combining the Victorian era with a fantastic story (neo-Victorian vibes?). We need to find the titular city of Nightingale after the magical network connecting various worlds has fallen. That's why we traverse through different lands and use portals to reach the lost home. The problem is that we can never be sure where we will end up.

One of many games?

When it comes to online survival games, there are plenty of them. There was a trend for Valheim with Vikings, now there's a craze for Palworld with Pokemon, so Enshrouded is causing a lot of excitement. Will there still be room for the fairy-tale Nightingale? The whole idea of the game is to traverse worlds and try to get to the titular city. We will meet various creatures, fight many battles, break up more than one camp, but in all of this, something unique is missing. Although on the other hand, it may turn out that the extraordinary atmosphere is completely sufficient.
