Underappreciated Gem

This game is still one of my favorites of the last few years. The art style is amazing, making me think of Warhammer Fantasy, and the music score is top shelf. Every every weapon in this game looks savage and painful, and every stitch of clothing and piece of armor looks awesome (and you will feel badass wearing it). The voice acting is spot-on, even if the writing is a bit stilted; but the overall story is cool. And now for some critiques. Sure, there are some rough edges and certain parts could use some polish. Missing textures and the (very) rare load screen freeze can get frustrating. Also, if you do not pay attention to the dialogue, you may get lost and not know exactly where to go next; watch a YouTube vid or two. In all, I say buy this game; support the developers (same guys that brought us The Surge). Multiple play styles, 3 different endings, awesome acting (including the beautiful Claudia Black), gorgeous backgrounds and setting, and a punishing difficulty that - just like DS - can be overcome with time, patience, and some spamming exploits, where possible. As a nice little Parthian Shot, at least this game is finished, and you don't have to skip the 2nd half, nor do you have to deal with copy+paste enemies. Not starting a flame war, just a casual reminder. Glass houses, and all, y'know. ;) I am certain this game will one day become a cult classic. [NOTE: I have played this game to NG++ on Xbox, and NG+ on PS4; I bought it on Steam and GoG to support the devs, and just because I like the game].

Sluggish battles, misleading animations.

Every one of your attacks has a long wind up and a lot of the times the attack animation is very misleading. On my screen the weapon will make contact with the enemy but it will register as if it was off, this makes a game that is built to be challenging just not worth the energy investment. I bought this for a few bucks and that is what it is worth. About 3 hours of game play in and I am done with it, had potential but the awful battle system ruined it.

Can't finish the game

Not great but not too bad. It is sometimes hard, but it's easier once you get some skills. But after more than 30 hours of gameplay, I can't finish the game because of an unavoidable crash!!

Patience is a virtue, death is a lesson

Let me preface this review by saying that I'm not a SoulsBorne player. That said, I have watched enough people play said series to know this game is heavily inspired by them. Like the SoulsBorne games, this is not an easy game. Strong enemies can kill you in just a couple of hits, and even weak enemies can be a threat if you are not paying attention. This isn't a hack and slash game; you can't just hammer the melee attack and dissect your enemies. You need to be methodical and patient, and keep a close eye on your opponent for cues as to what attack is coming next. Lords of the Fallen is a very pretty game, and I would say it is reasonably well optimized. While there is a lot of visual polish, the gameplay can be somewhat rough around the edges. Attacks can feel sluggish. Blocking consumes an inordinate amount of stamina compared to dodge rolling, and even using a tower shield enemies often find ways to strike you from above, or behind, or the side. Sometimes you will even get struck by the backswing of an attack that wasn't even directed at you. Magic feels somewhat slow to cast, given how fast the enemies can move. The combat does improve a bit as the game progresses, and as you unlock new equipment and improve your stats. Don't be afraid to experiment with different weapons and armor, it can significantly alter how combat plays out. This isn't a game for the impatient, or those who are put off by a high degree of dificulty. You will die, probably a lot. The key is to learn from your mistakes and get better, bit by bit. This game doesn't hold your hand. A lot of gameplay mechanics I had to learn by trial and error, and I'm sure there is still much for me to learn yet. If you enjoy action RPGs that reward strategy and methodical combat, and you don't mind a game that lets you learn by doing, then Lords of the Fallen is well worth the price.

Overall good, issues with bugs possible

The game is challenging (dark souls inspired) but never unfair. Even when a single anemy attack wipes out 80% of your life you have enought time bevore the next attack to drink a portion. Some decision making, puzzeling and finding/opening short cuts. Game crashes happened about every 10h. For a game were you die a lot it would be OK but, there was one boss enemy, after about 75% of the game, were crashes occoured every 2 minutes. I think this was caused by sparkle animation. This nearly broke the game (minus one star). I managed after fiddeling with the graphics and avoid looking at the boss. (Aim ,shoot, run in circles, repeat). As I found out this problem can differ from system to system and occour at different places, so keep this in mind when buying the game.
