Lords of the Fallen

Edit
In the Time of the Ancients, the Worldly Realm was ruled by a God of pure evil, who enslaved all humankind under his Dominion. But fear turned to anger as rebellion grew in the hearts of men - until the dawn of the Great Rising, when the fight for freedom began. After a glorious victory that cast aside the Fallen God, humans dictated a new order... a world where no sin can ever be forgiven and redemption was not an option.
Now, millennia later, the world trembles in fear as the Demonic Rhogar Legion returns from their dark realm, driven by a foul hunger for innocent spirits. Humanity, in a desperate last act, calls upon an unlikely defender - a convicted sinner, rejected by society and cast out of the light... a man known as Harkyn. Now, alongside his mentor, Kaslo, they must travel to the source of the Darkness... to face the Lords of the Fallen.

This game i have had for a while and although not completed in the time i have had it is a really enjoyable game. i have recently came back to it in 2019 and got slightly further than i did so im progressing slowly. this game is a learning curve and a challanging game from being a souls fan and other soul game a likes this is one of them from challanging combat to the awesome soundtrack. lords of the fallen is a lot slower however and bosses moves sets are very few and repetitive their are sometimes ganks in the boss fights which can also be annoying but if you can master parrying/backstabs then you can easily kill the small mobs. the world can also be confusing at times and may not always be clear on where you need to go.

This game is essentially the knock-off replica of Dark Souls. I picked this up after Darksouls Remastered and finishing Dark Souls 2. I have about 40 hours in it so obviously I enjoyed it enough to beat it and review it.
It's good, not great. Here are some positives and negatives:
POSITIVES:
• If you enjoy DS, you will enjoy this by proxy. The devs do a good job recreating the overall feeling of a FromSoft game. This has the same mechanics - e.g., "bonfires", similar fighting mechanics, RPG level-ups, host of magic and weapons, etc.
• It's got the same difficulty of 'GeT GuD' - but easier a bit
• You can tell the devs love DS and I am looking forward to the sequel to see how they grew as a team
• The story is easily-er understood and not vague
NEGATIVES:
• This is "clunky and slower" is the only way I can describe it. It's DS, but it's... ... heavier..?
• The bosses are basically all human-like. No giant monsters, etc.
• A lot shorter than what I experienced in DS1 and 2
• The items you get are limited and kind of exhausted caring about pickups halfway through. They have the items you need but it starts to just feel incredibly limited on items collected or "shards" (Magic boost, fire boost, lightning boost, energy boost - and that's basically it)
• It's by far the best DS close or copypasta game out there.
This is a game I want to love and I think their admiration of Dark Souls is great. It's good, not great. It is 100% obvious a Dark Souls copy, but it's not as good.
If you are like me and want a stop-gap with DS or just miss the DS vibe, this game will keep you occupied. I really am more excited for their sequel because I want to see how they have grown as a company and dev team.
I have no idea how to review this to explain my feelings here. Awesome job, team, but we all know this is not a FromSoft game lol. Recommended.

Dark Souls, but you wear 85kg of armour and the camera-man is drunk and dizzy

Just finished the game and I honestly don't know whats the bad reviews are all about. To me, its either people without any patience, lazy or lack common sense, or combination of either of those.
This game is awesome. Combat is not the best in the world, but its nice. Variety of weapons which you can utilise for different encounters and specialisations. The story is nice and is not dragged out. You can make choices within the story.
Graphics are very good still. Character animations, armour looks, sounds, music, level design and looks all are very well made.
If you like games where no one is holding your hand where you can think for yourself and apply some logic on how to defeat bosses, while mashing mobs on your path, I would recommend this game.

I'm writing as i'm playing right now my 3rd playthrough.
I'm 45 hours in the game, i beat it a first time with Rogue, than NG+ and Warrior: Now i'm playing Cleric as i want to try all the classes and all the spells.
I have to admit that i really like this game.
Yes like everyone says it's a slow Dark Souls but it also really depends what kind of armor and weapon you use. I had a totally different experience playing a tanky warrior than a swift rogue.
Also the rhythm of the combat feels slow but also powerful and impactful if it means something.
You can like the FromSoftware games and still enjoy this one, for example i can enjoy Bloodborne, Sekiro or even Nioh as much as Lords Of The Fallen.
It's similar to Dark Souls in a lot of ways but what this game does different is then pretty interesting. Like the XP multiplier when you kill ennemies, the stamina saving mechanic by timing your attacks perfecly, or just the spells that come with the class.
I have the feeling it became a thing to hate this game or just complain about the clunkyness....i don't agree with those comments.
In my opnion it's not a bad game, not the best but i guess good enough for me to want to finish it 3 times.
Lords of the Fallen 2 is coming (maybe one day) and i'll definitely gonna try it.

Don't go into it thinking it'll be just like Dark Souls or Elden Ring - it is its own thing. Not bad for the time it came out, it was enjoyable. Story isn't anything amazing, but the world is well crafted. Get on sale $$$ - no regrets there.

I played it on PS4 so I can't say if the port is good or not.
I recommend this game ... IF
- you never played any From Soft games or Soul-like before
- want to be introduced to the Soul genre in a more forgiving way.
Look at the negative comments and in most of them, you'll see a pattern emerge. They compare it to From Soft / Dark Soul.
If you already played Dark Soul and "got gud", you'll probably find this game boring. This game is not designed for you, so move along.
I never played a Soul before this game. The teen cashier at GameStop told me it was garbage but in the end I loved it. It is actually the only game I finished in NG+. I even finished it NG++. I never did that with any other game with a NG+ feature.
More importantly, it made me wanna try Dark Soul. Then I discovered the true meaning of Pain in the Ass.
On otherhand, if I played it after Dark Soul or even Elden Ring, then yes I might see it as garbage too.
The map is rather small compared to Dark Soul 3.
The level design is clearly not on the same "level". (Put on sunglass. Yes screaming in the background)
The weapon choices doesn't compare either and the game in general is a lot more forgiving.
Hence the big IF at the begining.
In my opinion, this game is a good introduction to the genre. And since it's rather cheap (when on sales) compared to a Soul, the risk of losing money trying a genre you never played before is minimal.
You can learn to drive with a Ferrari, but a Honda Civic will be more forgiving.
