Lords of the Fallen is just a retarded relative to Souls games. You may love if for that, but more likely you're gonna hate it for that. The main problem here is that it has no real audience. Souls fans have better games to play, and everyone else will just end up being frustrated by clunkyness and difficulty. For me it was an average experience, nothing to regret, but also nothing to remember.
Game mechanics were decent enough to keep me going, but middle to late game it turned out they werent well-though for endgame characters. Shallow story doesn't help either. All in all if you like turn-based combat and a little pinch of management/economy it's worth a try.
