It's not too surprising that Nightingale struggled to stand out in 2024, a year absolutely stacked with some of the best survival games in years. From Palworld and Enshrouded to Once Human, The Planet Crafter, Soulmask, and even Sons of the Forest 1.0, there was some serious competiton. It certainly didn't help that, while Inflexion Games built a truly gorgeous world, it felt rather empty and devoid of focus in the early months. Nightingale has come a long way since then, however, introducing a story-driven campaign, ramping up its base-building tools, and opening the gates to its titular city - and now you can grab it for free, thanks to the Epic Games Store.
