Lords of the Fallen is a beautiful game that feels like a mix between the gameplay of Dark Souls, the loot from Darksiders and the aestetics from a Blizzard game. The movement and the combat feels very responsive and the flow is very natural with each of your swings with your weapon. This game does a good job at showing off great animation, especially when you land your blows on the enemies and stagger them. The controls are easy to learn, though you can't re-bind your keys for either keyboard or controller. There are how ever, two control settings from which you can select; if the original controler scheme should not meet your standards. The game does a good job at delivering the story to you and it doesn't forcefully do so either. Every dialogue is skippable, should the story not meet your fancy. Unfortunately, the gameplay isn't very challenging and there are no settings to change the difficulity. The video options are also very lacking and should you not use an Nvidia Video Card (Graphic Card) you won't be very pleased that the game has a running PhysX that you can't toggle on and off; Making the game run awfully bad for those that do not have support for PhysX. The camera can be a bit off from time to time, but the game generally does a good job at making sure you know what's going on around you.

I would recommend this game to anyone that enjoys a third person fantasy-based RPG. If you're into Dark Souls, you might want to have a look at the game for a casual playthrough if anything.

As of the time I'm writing this review, I'm 6 hours into the game and have not yet died a single time.
