Lords of the Fallen | ★★☆☆☆

I did not enjoy my time with this game. It started off well, but as I progressed, the bugs increasingly got on my nerves. One boss fight made me question my sanity; I spent almost an hour trying to kill it, only to find out it was just a bug. Once I realized this, I would kill myself in-game whenever it glitched, wasting 4-8 minutes fighting just to respawn again.

Additionally, the final boss fight features an RNG section that auto-kills you if you don't run randomly. I was confused for the first half of the game as to why it was disliked because it initially seemed like a decent soulslike. However, the second half deteriorated with poor navigation, damage scaling, and other issues.

While I can handle the problems I mentioned, the bugs were the final straw, often occurring at frustrating times. This review could have been a recommendation if it weren't for those annoying nuisances.

this game should die in a fire its so ass
each attack is delayed
the "first warden" is too hard

This game game out October 28, 2014 roughly 1.5 years before dark souls 3 for its time it was a looker it really was and every dark souls fan at the time was likely hyped for this game at some stage unfortunately it didn't fully live up to the hype it turned out to be a undeniably mid game. its really not worth playing at this stage in fromsoft dark souls style clone games and will likely keep ageing like milk. lords of the fallen was 1 of the first games to ride the souls-clone high but few get as much hate even the follow up game also called lords of the fallen gets more hate then it deserves. i also appreciate the story in this game being more then relevant in the new game.
