i tried lords of the fallen quite a long time ago when it was first released. i saw a really cool, grim-dark soulslike, one of my favorite genres of games. and so, i bought it week one and tried it out. i first entered the game, looked at the graphics and went: "wow! this looks so cool!" and then fast forward a few hours and... i didn't like it. the game was riddled with issues, both gameplay wise and performance wise. i don't have a state of the art pc, but i do have one that can run games like Cyberpunk with little to no issues. this one saw stutter after stutter, the frames were dropping constantly, and i wasn't having a good time. i dropped the game around 6 or so hours into my initial playthrough. a year went by after i dropped the game, and i haven't picked it up since. but after playing through all of the good soulslike games in my library, Lords of the Fallen was just glaring at me saying "look at me. LOOK AT ME. i know you want to. i've gotten better. trust me." and so i did. i wanted to see if the game improved upon it's absolutely abysmal launch state and i gotta say: it did! for the most part. this very quick "review" are just brief points on which parts i liked, and which parts i didn't like. DISCLAIMER: my opinions. take this review with a grain of salt. stuff i liked + enemy density is no longer a pain in the ass (launch game had 50%~70% more enemies in each area, especially when in umbral) + combat feels really good to pull off + weapon movesets are badass (you can powerstance a dagger and a longsword, like HELLO?) + switching from one-handed R1's to two-handed R1's seamlessly is so fun (even if i didn't use it too often :P) + movement is slick and responsive + builds can be pretty varied, and SPLIT DAMAGE DOESN'T SUCK!! + all weapon types are viable, with no weapon being absolute ass + way better performance, way less stuttering even on higher graphical settings + the armor sets look cool af (paladin set ftw) + some of the weapons are absolute eye candy + the atmosphere of the game is amazing + the boss fights i've done so far were enjoyable for the most part + lore is pretty interesting, got me reading some of the item descriptions + no adp stuff i thought was whatever [*] some umbral seedbeds (temporary vestiges ) are unnecessary, as they're usually not that far away from a normal vestige [*] not that much enemy variety, but i didn't mind [*] some spells (radiant spells, mostly) felt underwhelming to use [*] i didn't feel the need to perfect block/parry that much when rolling has a stupid amount of i-frames and the sidestepping felt good [*] short swords are kind of boring, but to each their own stuff i disliked - stamina regens SO slowly, even after equipping a stamina regen ring AND using an item - consumables that don't get rid of a status, heal, or return you to vestige are useless - you can't use both a bow and magic, why? - no actual filtering in menus, everything is sorted by type - no separate tabs for each armor piece, they're all on the same page - absolutely ZERO explanation on some mechanics (certain status effects, quest items) - no reason to stay in the normal world (axiom), when umbral gives you shortcuts, extra items, etc. - item descriptions being locked behind leveling radiance and inferno is questionable - some non-cutscene bosses are pretty underwhelming (mostly gank fights and "bosses" that later appear as normal enemies) - you don't use umbral lamp in virtually any scenario besides rune farming and exploring umbral - some level designs feel kinda samey: area blocked unless you're in umbral, explore that a bit, go back to axiom, back into umbral because it's blocked again, rinse and repeat - the requirements as well as the order to do certain actions to unlock some endings is VERY convoluted for zero reason summary i actually enjoyed the game this time! there are still some glaring issues that i cannot overlook, but overall it's a solid game at its current state. i would only recommend getting this at a discount, as the issues do not justify a 60 dollar pricing range, but you will enjoy the game once discounted.

Game is honestly over-hated. It's no Elden Ring, but it is a just solid old school feeling souls game with absolutely immaculate vibes. Mega props to the devs for the post launch support and ironing out all the bugs. Give this one a try for real.

If you already played enough of the popular souls games (that we all know) and looking for a new one, this is a good choice. 7.6/10 . I tried to understand why this game gets a high amount of hate and figured that the haters can be divided into 3 groups: - performance issues group (much justified). It ran fine for me so i hope it's now patched and fixed for everyone else. - the group of people who complains about the game cramming too much enemies, justified but i never felt that, so i think the devs listened and patched this earlier or these people are wrong. - the group of people who compares every little detail of this game to FromSoftware games. These are stupid people and their long BS filled reviews aren't even worth considering.

I went into this game with middling expectations because of the Mixed reviews it has, but I really liked it. Right before playing it, I had just finished my 2nd replay of all 3 DS games and I was looking for more, and this game delivered 100%. My opinion of it might be favorable because I encountered zero performance issues, no in-game bugs, and only a single crash over my ~50 hours of gameplay. If those things had been present, I'd probably have less positive a reaction to it. I've seen a lot of people complain that the 'difficulty' in this game rarely felt fair compared to other games in the genre and I'm pretty confused as to what they're comparing it to. DS3 is littered with ganks, things shooting at you from higher altitudes, tandem fights that are hard if you don't have the right tools or approach to deal with them, and this game is largely the same. Graphics-wise, it's great. Challenge-wise, it's not that hard. Maybe DS2 Sins level. But the world exploration was fun, the visuals and ambiance wonderfully dark and Gothic, and the playtime really satisfying for a full game purchase. If you find yourself wanting more DS, this is the closest thing to it I've played. If you find that idea unappealing, then this is probably not for you.

I paid full price and put in a fair amount of time so I feel I can add my opinion to the mix. I'll keep it short . . . I don't agree with most of the negative steam reviews. My opinion is that the game is in a decent state performance wise and is just a generally good & fun souls-like with a couple neat twists to make it stand a bit more on its own. The devs are still supporting the game so that is also a plus in my book.
