The first souls-borne child, who seized to become a From Software successor is returning after nine long winters. This new Lampbearer presents a well-established, and captivating setting, filled with a set of well-known features, that any true soulslike fan will love and hate equally. Duality of the game's worlds provides unique aesthetics and puzzle-like mechanics; however, its potential is never reached and noticeable imperfections are ever so noticeable. Developers deliberately sabotage players and frustrate genre fans, who've simply hoped for more'

Lords of the Fallen is an intriguing soulslike proposition that draws inspiration from well-known franchises in the genre. It offers 2 interesting worlds to explore simultaneously, characters with different styles to choose from, a cooperative mode that enriches the adventure, and a vast catalog of weapons. However, the game still has some technical flaws, and that could be the trigger to abandon it at any time.

'Lords of the Fallen' is a soulslike that uniquely distinguishes itself from the rest. With better graphics and gameplay than its predecessor of the same name, this game can certainly be called a successful soulslike. Unique gameplay elements ensure that this game will not quickly fade from memory.

I've played many soulslikes, both good and bad, but Lords of the Fallen is needlessly frustrating and flawed. HexWorks focuses excessively on difficulty, undermining the positive aspects of its level design. Despite innovative Umbral mechanics, the game feels like an anachronism, failing to live up to the genre's refinements over the years.

Although the launch of Lords of the Fallen was certainly not without issues, I can't deny the game's charm, and I've been absorbed by it like water into a sponge. I really like the graphical presentation, the plot outline, the dynamic combat with balanced and challenging difficulty, as well as the game design itself. Unfortunately, technical aspects need improvement, and many players might struggle with this production on lower-end hardware, but if I'm getting up earlier just to play this game, that must mean something.
