I got an early retail copy yesterday and after 5h playing solo yep I can confirm. I can't even kill the first night bosses.
For reference I have played Souls games since Demon Souls PS3 and I never had any issue on any of their games (even ER DLC pre-nerf)
I am getting wrecked in Nightreign.
It feels the game does not scale at all: I watched some streamers play trio yesterday and they took the same amount of damage as me and the mobs seem to have the same amount of health.
Defuk, test your fucking game maybe?
(Game is great tho)
