LotF - Buggy Game of the Year Edition
Having read a number of reviews, both good and bad, I was on the fence about giving this a go but finally picked it up while it was going cheap. Unfortunately, the price turned out to be the best part of the experience. Gamewise, LotF makes no attempt to hide its being built on the back of Dark Souls, from the stamina-based combat and find-your-own-way quests to the not-campfires and "ghosts" you reclaim your XP from after your many deaths. Nothing wrong with that in itself but, if you are going to copy a classic, at least have the decency to do it well. LotF adds more typical RPG elements into the experience, with classes and magic schools to choose from, NPCs to talk to and equipment to retool with. Unfortunately, this offer of choice is an illusion - unless you're an expert at timing, blocking and dodging, you're going to have a bad time unless you make yourself the buffest tank that ever did thorn damage. At least, that's the conclusion I reached after my Rogue comprehensively failed to do anything other than give the first major boss (the Commander) a few nicks and paper-cuts, getting summarily squished in the process. Playing around with different equipment made a small difference but, with so many useless items, the apparent smorgasbord on offer here turned out to be more of a spam sandwich. Next problem with this boss encounter was the sudden and repeated termination. The first crash I took as bad luck, the second as carelessness, but the third, fourth, fifth… I stopped counting realising this not the product of poor timing but poor programming and/or porting. Not being a AAA title, I would expect some level of jankiness, like the variable-quality acting, voices that sound like they've been recorded in a corridor, the sliding effect when interacting with the environment and animations which can make the characters look like they're standing in front of a green screen at times. All of that could be tolerated, but game-breaking bugs cannot be forgiven.
