I just saw it was added to PS+ the other day, and I am downloading it just because I loved Control. I wonder if it has M&KB support on PS5 tho, because I fucking suck ass with a controller in FPS games.
I feel like it had RPG elements with the soldier upgrades and equipment. There was progression in what your characters could do. This game was amazing, I’d love a remake of this with some small graphical and quality of life improvements.
This is basically what it’s like playing KCD2 at times, but it’s fucking hilarious watching an army of guys try to kill me or the person I am talking to while we just ignore them.
You’ve waited now 7 years - waiting a bit longer won’t hurt - but then again if you wait for the next one there will probably always be another one after that.
I like your question but you should formulated better, that’s why it’s getting downvoted.
Short Answer: No, it’s not a flop. Long answer: Many have given the meaning of a flop so I will not repeat. What you want to know it seems is if ERN succeeded as a multiplayer and I get the feeling you are comparing it to FPS, but they have very different markets. ERN made good money and satisfied the Soul-Like gamers Multiplayer addiction. Elden Ring is also not massive when compared to Counter Strike but in proportion ERN is very successful. The learning curve for the Souls-Like games is usually also a detractor for many.
I’ll throw in a few that I enjoyed (all pc with a controller):
Hollow knight (probably the common favorite). Fun gameplay, interesting story, felt like a great entry into the genre as someone who didn’t like them previously.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Really interesting farming mechanics to unlock new skills and fun combat. I think I liked this one mostly for the gameplay and don’t remember the story much.
Grime. This one felt really, really clunky at first. However, like most games in the genre, it really picked up at one point and I enjoyed the whole experience. I think there were some sections that really dragged on but overall a fun game with interesting movement, mechanics, and enemies.
Ori and the will of the wisps (don’t love blind forest personally)
Blasphemous 1 and 2
Pretty much all the 2d metroids, especially Dread
Guacamelee 1 and 2

Steamworld dig 2
Animal Well
Oh and what I like about them. Exploration is 90% of a good metroidvania for me. Unlocking abilities and finding secrets in old locations is just my favorite gameplay loop. I don’t tend to love super linear metroidvanias a-la Metroid fusion, though it’s still a good game. But exploration usually can’t be all of it. Combat if it’s there should be decent at best, puzzles are always good. But really if exploration isn’t there just right I probably won’t love it. Also most of these I play on steam deck / PC. Except metroid
“released for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on May 30, 2025. It received generally positive reviews and sold 3.5 million units.[1]”
So, first, it doesn’t matter how many concurrent players it has, it sold 3.5 million so it’s not a flop.
Second, it was released on 5 platforms, you are looking at concurrent players on Steam only.
