- I recently picked up LORDS OF THE FALLEN and in short I was completely blown away compared to what the critics were saying. I discuss the lords of the fallen gameplay, graphics and everything else in this video!

Broooo this video blew up congrats
Tip if anyone cares, when you jump and dont want that long roll just let off your L3 or joystick and you will just land and not roll, saved me alot on platforming.
I think if you come into this game with realistic expectations, you can have a great time. The same with Lies of P - if you expected that game to be as good as Bloodborne, you might be disappointed, but if you remember small teams made these games with a lot of passion, it’s easy to ignore the minor issues and enjoy the game despite the flaws. Been running really well for me and I’m loving the game.
Yep it definitely scratches an itch!
Dark souls 1 was always my favorite. So far this game is right there. It’s like soul reaver meets dark souls. Works perfect
I expect the advertised performance and no teleporting enemies and hosts in pve/PvP
@@llawlied6902 I’m getting advertised performance
Thanks for this reaction, does me well to see people actually see this game for what it is. I think a good game!!
The best souls like I’ve played since mortal shell. This actually has a very horror vibe to it as well. Will be on the edge of your seat when you are in the umbrel realm.
Need to try mortal shell!
I 100% agree! I love the game so far, and Mortal Shell is one of my favorites when it comes to design, hardening mechanic and atmosphere.
Yes mortal shell I was thinking it reminded me of another souls like.
mortal shell pretty decent, very small game but knowing it was done by a group of like 15 people, puts it into perspective
Yes! It really feels like mortal shell a lot. The floaty controls, the overstepping while attacking, the dark atmosphere, the dual world design… LotF felt like a trip down memory lane playing DS2 with a salt of mortal shell :)
Ive played every Souls game and every souls like, LOTF stands with the best of them. From Bosses, level design, graphics, music, weapon and build variety, secrets and even the story are all outstanding. So many people are trying ro pick it apart because it's not a From game. Yes it has its performance issues but they will be patched out. Most of the things people are criticising it for are the same things they praise Dark Souls for.
TLDR play it. Its amazing.
Hard agree
Exactly my thoughts! Also as much as I praise From Software, they aren´t really known to be the best at optimizing their games for release either.
Might be a wild take to some but I think this games bosses beat out FromSoft’s on average.
@@ChuckFinelyForever the design and lore behind all the bosses has been great so far. I also like that some of them have actual boss mechanics.
@@DuggyDarko I haven’t run into a boss where I said “this fight is bullshit” which is a nice change. The mobs on the other hand… Lol they can get a bit too much but yeah, the bosses definitely had a lot of care put into them
Absolutely love this game. I think people are a little unwilling to adapt and try to play it as a 1 for 1 souls clone instead of it's own thing. If you treat it as its' own game, adapt your playstyle, use items, used ranged combat from time to time to pull enemies you'll have a great time. The art direction / level design is incredible. The dual world system is an absolute highlight. I honestly thought it would be a gimmick but it's perfectly woven into the game. Really hope we get DLC and or a sequel.
I've never been this afraid of death in a soulslike since DS1
Haha snap!
Yeah , literally tiptoe every where 😆
Yes, because this game gets everything wrong, that makes a soulslike hard. The worst soulslike
@@progamer-gx8jk Literally the best soulslike. Get filtered.
Why, iv died 100 times. I'm use to it now. That's all you do in this game, run for your life, and then die
I really like this game despite its issues.. way better then the 2014 game.. I enjoy the combat gameplay, the exploration, sick armor sets, bosses, lore. Good soulslike game 👍
Finally someone who agrees. This game is great. Put 60 hours in so far with a good ole strength build and a faith build now. Playing on the Xbox and yeah there’s some fps issues but no big deal. Quit out and it’ll be fine again for a while. Yeah it’s annoying but I can deal with it. I played through blight town on the 360, frame rate issues in a souls game arent an issue for me haha
Games great so far! It’s a shame the performance wasn’t nailed down before release. I can see it having a big following in the future!
@@ReadyUpGames maybe a year or less down the road hopefully people will come around to it. It’s definitely better than the one from 2014
Even elden ring suffers from drops on series x
@@CyrusN1 that’s true. They’re nowhere near as bad. But Elden ring is never a constant 60fps for me on there
the only things i dont like about this game is how every enemy encounter has 10 ranged units who shoot some stuff at you while you fight a mini-boss, and the vestige seed mechanic (just put more bonfires man!)
Yeah not a fan of the seed mechanic personally!
Seed mechanic is fine for me, its part of currency management, the real issue is the mobs are too many while we fighting the elites
I keep having to lure melee enemys around a corner away from the ranged ones when possible. It's a pain but I'm still enjoying the game.
The game is hated because it’s not a fromsoft game, so the cons are over exaggerated because of bias.
True, but I don't think bias is the problem, it's the fact that Souls likes never even come close to the simple yet fluid combat of Souls, the games that inspired them. That is a problem. I think a modern AA game studio should be able to make gameplay AS good as games from 13 years ago. Ashen did great on that end, but didn't have much replay value.
Yeah because people who play from soft games don't play any other video games LOL
@@RobK-rl6snthat’s not at all what I said. Stop making such weak arguments lol
I think my issue with your argument is Lies of P. It's been beloved by the soulsborne fans to the point people see it as a direct competitor with fromsoftware now. So how can it just be bias against non-fromsoftware games when we've already seen the opposite of it occur recently too?
It's not that. It's moreso that it was released around the same time another game in the soulslike genre (Lies of P) nailed the "feel" of a souls. A lot of folks genuinely wanted to like LoTF, myself included. I played on PS5. The performance issues and glitches were the first thing I noticed. Graphics mode was nearly unplayable so I switched to performance, but it was glitchy. Enemies getting stuck in floor and on objects. But besides that, enjoyment of this game is going to depend on how you feel about the mobs. It's a make or break thing. It made the game less enjoyable for me. After 10hrs, I realized I just wasn't having fun. Everywhere you go, there's at least 3 enemies sniping you, while you deal with a strong enemy, and a few weaker ones. Then if you die, you have to deal with all of that, plus the umbral enemies. I started to notice that I did something I don't typically do in souls games; I ran.... I ran through levels pretty much, just looking for shortcuts or another spot I can plant an umbral seed. It killed exploration for me. I stopped playing the game at the mendacious visage. By that point I concluded this is too irritating. But if you can get past the mobs, it's not a bad game.
Honestly even with the bugs and multiplayer issues, it’s still easily one of the best souls likes I’ve ever played.
An incredible achievement and I'm having such a good time with it. HUGE well done to all the devs who worked so hard to make this work.
Love the game so far. My all time favorite game is DS2 as it was my first souls game and LotF reminds me so much of my first DS2 experience, which I love. It is clunky, buggy and cryptic but the atmosphere, build variety (!) and world design is just so satisfying and fun to me. I get that it is far from perfect but it actually had more fun playing it than I had when playing Elden Ring 😅
Lords of the Fallen did a great job, I've been having a good time with it
I'm loving it on my PS5! No issues...the only time I see any kind of issues is in quality mode a lil stuttering but on performance it's great and still looks amazing!
I recently got this game at gamestop but my mom is saving it for my birthday which is thankfully very close and was before I heard the reviews so hopefully when my birthday comes and I try this game I will try to keep an open mind
Steam reviews should be completely ignored.
Because you say so...
@@danield.6452 Because I can read, but thank you for your insight.
No they shouldn’t. Just because your precious game is met with mixed reviews doesn’t mean you should erase them.
@@TheDude044 I don't have a "precious game" you daft twat. Steam reviews are full of fanboys and people just looking for attention, who post cr*p that has nothing to do with the game they are pretending to review.
You said something in your video, that I wished more UA-camrs told viewers about: You care more about the gameplay than the story and this is a fair take but I immediately know that I have to watch the video differently and that's great! kudos to you
I think the only thing that’s really bothered me so far is the distances covered during the flow of combat. A lot of the starting areas are quite tight which is fine, it’s reminiscent of DS1 and DS2 but a single R1 in this game seems to cover nearly the same distance as a locked on dodge and the same is true of a lot of enemy attacks. It can be difficult to maintain control of your positioning and overcorrections put you in a wall or off of a ledge.
But, maybe this is just me because I haven’t seen anyone else complain about this!
This is true, it also happened to me during combat with groups of enemies I end up moving forward too much with a swing and 2 or 3 mobs end up on my back and hitme for free, plus the character slides forwar is not just a normal step, targeting is also terrible the game need to better the combat
I love it , my frame rates just drop at crucial times against the worst enemies for the situation but I’m still in it heavy
I’m about 4 hours in and couldn’t agree more. Especially with that 2nd boss.
I have a 4090 and it's stunning, though has some performance issues from time to time. That being said, it's no Elden Ring but it's certainly fun! I'm enjoying it.
damn you would think a 4090 wouldn't give you any issues
@@MeloVibeGaming some frame stuttering from time to time, then it sorts itself out. Have an i9-13980 processor too, lol.
Awesome game so far. More pros than cons. There are two major cons: enemy over saturation in umbral, getting swarmed by an entire zombie apocalypse can be a massive pain, and the boss mechanics of certain bosses later in the game are boring and uncreative(without giving spoilers)
I've got to say that I have been enjoying this game. I have beaten all of the souls games and was one of the first people to get through elden ring on the Xbox. I find the bosses to be suitably difficult so far, the only buggy one seemed to be the hushed saint, but I am only about 1/3 of the way through. I am enjoying the challenge of the combat and although it can be frustrating that my character seems to be wearing a paper bag instead of plate armor, at times, that frustration is what I enjoy about souls games. Frustration leading eventually into success. Tearing you down to be rebuilt again.
i'm playing it on PS5, already beat it once, currently replaying it on 2 other characters, and i'm loving it.
Lies of P was great, loved the story, a wonderful game, i'd say it's got the better story, and draws you in more through that.
but Lords of the Fallen is the better "Souls-like". the gameplay is great, the world is designed extremely similar to dark souls 1 (the map, like dark souls 1, centers around a single location and goes up, down and around it, with you never realizing just how close you are to where you started.).
there are issues, obviously. multiplayer, like any souls-like, is plagued by peer-2-peer connections. it's one of the biggest failures of fromsoft, and one every other souls-like does as well.
Invasions are borderline broken. If I get hit once by a host, then I'm constantly rubber banded into oblivion. However, it definitely has legs once the device fix the net code somehow.
Well said my man
People forget the performance issues Elden ring had when it’s released
The game has a lot of potential but some major flaws that make it less fun than it could be *in my opinion*. The incredibly high mob density really inhibits exploration. This is exacerbated by the vestiges being so limited. Performance is not great. Playing in performance mode on PS5 I still see very low frames in a lot of areas and almost always when in the umbral realm. As the game is now, I would say a 7 of 10. If they fix the mob density and performance, it's a 8.5 or 9.
Yeah i’ve tended to explore an area then once I die, I run past that area. A compromise but atleast we have the fast run for traversal 😂
Game has an even lower rating on Steam. It's not just critics that find it underwhelming.
ive had no issues with the game on pc been loving it and hope they add dlc later on
I’ve had little to ZERO issues with its performance since the patches and I’m playing on the PS5.
The only problem I’ve had is the washed out color bug, but I’ve minimized it with making some adjustments on my TV. Other than that I’ve been having a blast with LOTF. Right now I would rate it a 7.5 or 8, but if they fix the color issue, I would give it a straight 8 or maybe a 9.
I love lords of the fallen. I got lucky and have hardly had any issues. Been having an absolute blast.
I have been absolutely loving the game so far. Literally my only major complaint has been the performance issues. For me it's been the crashes.
One other complaint I've got is how the fog they use if you have your settings low can really fuck up certain parts of the visuals. It either completely obscures pathways that people on higher settings could have seen easily, or makes a certain boss drop considerably in quality due to the fog.
My final nitpick is how 2 certain bosses are handled. I'm trying to keep this as spoiler free as possible, but there are 2 boss fights whose gameplay really doesn't stack up to the presented situation. You go into both of them expecting a certain kind of fight only to be given a very underwhelming alternative.
TL;DR The only serious complaint i have are the crashes. The others are just annoyances or nitpicks.
The more I play it… the more I fall in love with this game. I’m fully convinced if they just would’ve pushed back release to tighten it up a bit. Would’ve received much higher reviews. Oh well, at least they’ve fixed the majority of the issues.
The Lords of the Fallen is its own game, judging it as an Elden ring sequel and trying trying play it like one (or a dark souls 4) I can see how that leads people to dissapointment, but I personally think that in and of itself is not enough reason for dipshits like sunburned albino and GameSpot to be shitting out awful takes and trying to slander the game to the public. The Lords of the Fallen will go down with Dark souls 2 as a flawed but INSANELY underrated banger of a game. jts so unfortunate how rigid and brutally unforgiving the souls community is nowadays, the old souls community would have eaten this up and enjoyed every character, boss, and world design element. I hope people come to these senses sooner than later. I understand the game has some technical issues but it's great
Well said
To be fair, Albino and Gamespot (not a fan of Gamespot just to put that out there) both brought up good points as to why THEY don’t like the game. There are definitely problems with it, but then again those are their opinions. Their reasonings go beyond it’s “not like Elden ring.” That’s a cop out of a complaint that I’ve seen a lot of LOTF fans say as to why people don’t like it. If they don’t like it then they dont like it. You can’t say their points aren’t valid if you yourself are biased towards liking the game.
I'm having a really good time exploring what they made with this game. It's running good on my pc, frames are fine max setting 60 to 70 fps. My only issue is that every hour or less ilmy game almost always crashes but when I restart it takes about 2 or 3 minutes and I'm back exactly where it crashed, unless it's a boss fight and I have to start over from right outside the fog or moth wall. It's. Good 8/10 for me and I will be playing this for awhile.
Soul reaper meets bloodborne. This game is really solid. I would say lies of p was more polished overall, but I enjoy this game more. I love that you mention the 2 worlds....at anytime...with 0 lag you pull up your lantern and see evrything in the other world seamlessly. It deserves a lot more praise for that alone.
Been playing since Demon Souls on the ps3, played every souls game (too many times) I think LOTF is an EXCELLENT game.
I loved the first one. Cant wait to play this one after i beat lies of P. Big souls like fan here👏🏻👏🏻
Aw man its great!
Great year for souls fans
Currently going into laxasia for last achievement goty for me by a mile
I think it depends on what you want out of a souls like. if you want combat, lies of p, sekiro, and bloodborne is the way to go. Lords of the fallen doesn't have the same level of polish. But if you like exploration in souls games, than this is gonna be a great game for you. It is a wonderfully experimental title that places so much emphasis on the interactions of players with their environments that you see in titles like dark souls 1 or Ashen.
Hopefully they fix the stutter. It chugs in the PS5 unless you switch to performance mode and even then.
This! Absolutely. For me, as I like the exploration, build variety and atmosphere over the twitchy combat I always prefers the Dark Souls series over the Bloodborne/Sekiro games. I can however totally see that life of pi is way more polished in terms of combat.
I personally clown on LotF because the devs said they were aiming for Dark souls 4.5. But the game on a technical level doesn't beat any of the souls titles. I have never played a 3rd person arpg, this buggy in my life. When it works, I'm met with game design decisions that have me scratching my head. I've been having fun mowing through enemies, but I constantly get pulled out by how predictable encounter design gets. And how fatiguing enemy density can be.
Killing your first reaper does feel really good though, and I'm glad I stuck around for that moment.
Yeah it's nowhere near Souls levels.
Just FYI - this game is a reboot and not a sequel to LOTF 2014 :)
Set 1000 years in the future, reboot would surely leave out the previous game 👀
As someone who came into Lords of the Fallen with no expectations whatsoever I have to say that I fell in love with the game. While some of the mechanics are very frustrating (mimic items, annoying platforming, etc.) I still think that overall it is a great experience.
I like the lore. The story is what keeps you going. The boss fights are manageable not like Elden Ring you don’t need much prep just study the dance. 😂
It’s not as good as Elden Ring, it’s not as bad as Dark Souls 2. It is simply… very OKAY. And that’s OKAY.
I'd suggest waiting for 1 month or 2 before playing the game. There are lots of annoying issues, ridiculous gank that make exploration a chore, ridiculous health pools for some mobs, balancing issues, and not enough mob variety. But the devs are very receptive to critics and are releasing a patch every day. They are serious about improving the game. Give it some time to be patched until it reaches it's potential and it will stand among the best souls games. They've got a solid foundation, they just need a bit of time to make everything as good as it can be.
I had an amazing time with it. I am sad I have used up all the main content. I look forward to the future when they can make a game like this that can having rolling new content every 3 months or something.
It's been a blast. I think it's built for more casual gamers than hardcore gamers. The glitches suuuuck. But the update helped that a little. Hopefully more work will be done. I think I'm going to replay it with different builds.
Honestly the most based thing someone has said about this game, “it’s built for more casual gamers” and I couldn’t agree more. Maybe that’s partially why I’m not drawn to this game imo.
If this games online aspects were fixed it would be a perfect game, but even so there will be people who don't like Lords Of The Fallen, and that's ok whether you find a game fun or not is entirely based on your subjective opinion, people can vehemently hate a perfect game and people can obsessively love a terrible game after all
It's not perfect, but it's fun af, so happy playing this game, it's so dark and creepy and weird and challenging, I really love it, really reminds me of ds 1 and 3
I’m playing on the Xbox I’m getting some performance problems, but I’m enjoying it a lot
For me it's just the constant recycling of enemies, there are literally always the same enemies, some are just reskinned for their proper environment (bosses aside, although they also get used as normal enemies later on). That and the not working crossplay are no gos for me, BUT I am still somehoe addicted
thos i can see why they are so many re skin becuse more reaalistic that most knights looks the same
They were not wrong. In fact, they were actually more on the generous side. On release if anybody gave this game more than a 6/10, youre just objectively incorrect. The fact they have put out around 13 patches so far since release is proof of that.
Great game and they have been pushing out multiple updates already. So happy they learned from their mistakes with the first game.
I wish I had more time to play but I’m really enjoying it a lot. I just beat pieta with 2 characters and can’t wait to keep going. Is it Elden ring level of awesome, to me nothing will be but this has some fun mechanics and it’s different enough it’s got my attention. Runs nice and smooth on my 3080ti with minimal stutter. Happy killing all!
I don't get why its getting hate. I started with demon souls on ps3.
I could still play the it today, I think people really nitpicking like spoiled brats.
I did have some frame drops on realease but it way better now. Yes. Some bosses are easy but the levels are long and hard, I love being DEEEP in a dungeon and running outta supplies and health with my back against the wall. Thats what i like and this game has it. My first system was a Coleco so take what I say with a grain of salt.
And..... I beat the first Lords and liked it and these same people prolly give that one a 1 out of 10 so I guees people just want realy bright shiney things and Lotf is a rusty nail.
This game feels like dark souls 2 but harder
I have been loving this game. The o my problem I have with it is that the devs decided to patch afk farming instead of putting that time into fixing performance issues on PC. Get your priorities right. Who the hell cares if people want to afk farm. Let people play the game however they want to play it.
Just playing co-op, and me and my friend are having a blast
I’m having zero problems on pc. I live this game so much I bought it on Xbox series x as well. Honestly on performance mode on Xbox it runs mostly ok. Little washed out for fsr but you get smooth fps accept for transition stutters from time to time. Also pretty sure a memory leak requires restart after couple hours of play. Once I restarted had no issues.
I’m in swamp area on both machines.
My pc is 7900xt 5800x3d 32 gigs ram.
Ultra 1440p and I lock it at 75 fps fo junction heat issues. Otherwise I hit 130 fps
Souslike, an instant turn off to me. Loved Elden Ring though. My biggest issue, for me, is I am hearing level design is such that you easily can get lost. Nothing pisses me off more than no idea where I should be going or what I should be doing. I am still on the fence on this one.
It’s alright, the DS2 of souls likes
The update is needed man,this thug is horrible,im trying to enjoy the game but I can’t go 10 secs without my game turning into a PowerPoint presentation and let’s not even mention the co op,it’s almost unplayable
What are you playing on? It’s shocking that the performance isn’t optimised on xbox and pc and does detract from a great game.
This game and lies of p are great games imo. I been enjoying lords though I can say u can get mixed up at moments with which way u have already explored lol
Its worth it, people who expect a dark souls dont play it, you’ll just be mad and expect what fromsoft made. They’re some issues with it but not serious, im playing solo and im having a blast
I had my hopes up for this game. So far I've enjoyed it.
Yeah it’s great!
@ReadyUpGames for sure! I joined someone to help with the first (2nd technically) boss and the following boss and it was choppy and stuff didn't load, died to lag once. Wasn't bad otherwise and single player works amazing
The game is brilliant. Easily the best Souls-like for me and in many ways more fun than Elden Ring.
1. Level design and exploration both great, especially with the dual worlds.
2. Mobs and importantly mob placement makes them a tactical challenge.
3. Ranged Attack options are fantastic from the very start of the game.
4. The Parrying System is the perfect mix of Souls + Sekiro, with the Wither damage "rally system" incorporating the best of Bloodborne too.
5. The Bosses are interesting and diverse but most importantly FUN to fight (unlike many Elden Ring bosses).
6. The Atmosphere and pressure cooker in Umbral is palpable - even more threatening than the Unseen Village in Bloodborne.
From a polish perspective its still not up there with the best Fromsoft games, but its not far off.
This is the first time i went down a hole that was hard as all hell but felt rewarded for fighting a boss. Not winning. Finding and fighting it.
While I did really loved Elden Ring, I think I prefer LOTF that is more jam pack and has a more intricate level design that is more in line with DS. In ER I always felt that bosses was way faster than you and you have to use magic of just brute force your way with a huge life gauge.
Always wished for a Souls like with a Diablo enemies density... and this one has more enemy density in Umbral than D4 so that a win for me. I just wished their was different routes to take from the start to enable different playthrough than just another class.
@ There is a door you can open (you have to buy the key) near the Vestige in Pilgrim's Perch which takes you to a different tough area. But I know what you mean - different routes would be cool.
At last ! Some honest peoples. This game is just fantastic. I love it and i really can't understand all the bad review (i understand if it's performance and bugs problem...). It's a Dark fantasy come true. :)
@@nosferaturr You have to suspect a small percentage of bad reviews and youtube vids are Fromsoft fanboys getting nervous.
Do you like remnant 2 brotha? I’d consider that a really good souls like, although obviously with guns it’s different but I’d still consider it one of the
Played a good chunk coop and it was decent! Personally prefer handcrafted level design rather than procedural but it was very good!
I play on PC, 5800X3D and 7900XT. I have had some frame drops, but never below 60. I haven't encountered anything that lessens my enjoyment of the game. I'm about ten hours in, and loving it.
10 fps vision and the inability to see frame drops will do that to a simp.
For seventy dollars, this game is a Beta. I am on PS5 with motion blur and grain off, HDR off (so, disabling available features to improve perf). Even so, it drops more frames than any game I have played on Ps5. For 70 bucks this is simply unacceptable.
Take it you haven’t tried Jedi Survivor at launch 😂
I absolutely loved this game. People complaining are just scrubs. The only issue was some performance issues and crashes, other than that. I loved the experience. I loved the gank!
Well said!
I honestly think that apart from the visuals and umbral, the combat is janky, and clunky, and the rest is mediocre. I think a 6-7 is reasonable.
To be honest i played the game a little bit but its really not that good. I mean i know im in the minority but ive wouldve liked the game better without that lamp otherworld mechanic. I play on pc and it seems really annoying at times cause it doesnt work every time, when the enemy is too fast and has one of those blue Parasite things good luck using your lamp without gettin damage . I give them Credit that they had the balls to try something new, very few game developers These days do that. To be honest i dont even know why we got a follow up, the first game was really not that known and mediocre at best (although i kinda liked it) . Please dont make any more souls like , you could build a town with all the souls like we got since ds1 many of them are trash and the ones who do work are good but still not everywhere near the originals from from Software. Having said all that i still wish you guys Lots of fun, at the end of the day its a matter of taste , im sure many people will love it and some like me will feel its not working well enough to call it a well rounded game . To give some praise tho, the Boss Designs Look amazing, they have nice combo attacks and really get you hyped up for more, although As many Pointed out they are not as hard as some hardcore souls Fans wouldve liked i guess😅 My sleeper hit of this year is remnant 2 ❤❤ my god i love that game, havent Played the first game cause i thought its just another dark souls clone but man its a masterpiece, along re 4 remake its my fav game this year 🎉 compared to those games which i consider masterpieces this one Cuts short, if i had to give it a score, i would propably give it a 6,8
People's expectations for games nowadays is almost impossible to meet. The team did amazing job with the game. I have been watching a lot of content but havent played it myself. I never buy games fresh off the shelves so i cant say anything related to personal experience w the game.
@@BlakeN-o6lcan't believe he typed that all out lmao
I never ever listen to critics. I mean I’ll watch a few vids but I will never make them make a decision for me. And that’s with anything because everyone has a different opinion and some people are biased.
Critics suck, all they do just plain. they ruin everything for everyone. they only like something if you give them money, or if it's uninteresting.
LotF suffers from artificial difficulty. The way the game throws difficulty at you is hit you very hard or overwhelm you. Their bosses are relatively ok more on the easy side for a souls-like but there are some hard fights and it's almost always the multi-boss fights where they try to overwhelm all your senses all at once. I share zero love for multi-boss fights in any souls game (looking at you godskin duo *shakes fist*) they are annoying but they are particularly more so here when you realize that's the entire difficulty of the game in and out of boss fights. It gets draining after a while along with the annoying run backs which Fromsoft innovated on a long time ago, let us get right back into the action running and dodging trash just to get back to a boss isn't engaging at all it creates fatigue.
Thats a lot of words to say you're bad.

Yeah bro there are things you can do to mitigate the things you are complaining about. In short skill issue.
@@jacobsalcido5891 @925Gabriel @mrgray5576 you 3 muppets are everything wrong with gaming, no doubt all 3 of you are completely useless anyway
It's not a From game. LOTF takes various aspects from souls games and adds its own spin to them. The whole "there's too many enemies" point is complete bullshit. You have to plan your attacks and prioritise enemies. You are given so many ways to deal with the various threats in this game it's just people are too used to spam rolling and hiding behind a shield. Also the run back to the boss is mitigated by the fact you can literally put down your own "bonfire" nearer to the boss.
Yeah reviews are overly critical. Which is funny when you see star field getting fucking 10s
Spot on with the demons souls remake. It really reminds me of it, especially the feedback when hitting enemies and the way the weapons fly out of their hands when you kill them. Very satisfying
the game is really, really good actually.
I’m enjoying it so far!
Surge 2 is still an amazing game!
Only gripe I seem to have with this game is that you can'"t stand still & attack. Each attack you do, even if it's the most basic sword slash, leaps you forward a few yards. It's so rediculous that if you do a combo you actually move faster forward in the game than pressing forward on your left stick
It's great. Performance is my only issue on PS5. Most of it has already been patched. If you likes souls games you should enjoy this. Just my opinion though
You have every right to gripe about performance issues but a lot of criticism has been subjective. Minor ones I agree with like inventory management being awful, but enemy density is just opinion.
I love this game but it does need some minor QOL improvements.
it’s just the constant mob fights that ruin it for me 😒
I absolutely love LOTF, one of the best soulslike, better than Lies of P in my opinion
The game has its flaws, but LOTF really hit for me personally. I've played nearly 50 hours since release... and I work full time. It completely hooked me. I've not played Lies of P yesterday and started that yesterday, up to the 3rd main boss and I am once again, hooked. These two games are both excellent and are closing in on that From Software bar.
Game is a banger reminds me of a mixture of Soul Reaver and Mortal Shell, so good 👌 runs great on ps5 too
Since you mentioned Elden ring, my main gripe is that the game's final boss & certain invasions can be maddeningly difficult. There's no need for Radagon to relentlessly pursue you to the point of not getting a chance to heal up, and the elden beast boss fight can also be less frustrating.
i love it. the combat is fluid and fun i thought the bosses were all unique and fun. don't know why people complain about enemy density i though it was fine. it is a hack and slash at its core so why complain about more hack and slash. i think something similar to the mandala effect happened to this game. because of the beginning tech issues with the game and everyone just got it in thier mind to hate on it.
I only started playing last night, on ps5, enjoying so far but I think I picked the wrong starting class for me. Will be making a new character tonight.
How do you feel now after 50 hours… I loved it the first 10 hours or so… but it becomes a real tedious grind once you get to new game plus and even late game
Only issue for me is the umbral currency. Takes forever to accumulate.
What I don’t understand is why are you releasing a game review on a game your “3-4 hours into”??
Ps5 still has problems too. Mostly with the lock on
The game is pretty good on performance now on the series X/S from my experience since the patch, the story and game design is a solid 9/10 so far the difficulty definitely is something that I feel is a problem but for me as a play that started souls games on ds3 kinda feels like it is a bit on the easier side
If the performance issues are fixed this will be my goty. But right now it's sometimes unplayable on Xbox.
DS 1-3 I found, Meh. Elden Ring I loved, Lies of P don't like the combat, but I think its been patch so I can't say much on it. LotF I am loving thus far, I do agree it deserved the negative criticism for the performance.
However its being patched almost daily, so good job on them. I love the combat thou, so much smoother then most Souls games, not sure why everyone thinks the combat is bad, it just takes so getting use to. Besides Hushed Saint he has been the only boss were I got some weird framerate, and lag.
watche for 10min only for him to then say he only played for 4h...
Indeed Dark Souls 2 vibes all over, a pitty, they should have focus on copying DS3, and this would be better than Elden Ring :)
Is this worth getting on PS5 yet? Have the patches fixed the performance/frame rate issues yet?
Mines been grand!
Thanks 🙏
