Lords of the Fallen

I had a mixed but overall positive experience with Lords of the Fallen. The game is good enough to scratch that Soulslike itch and original enough to have its own identity. Gameplay, Graphics and art style were great. Beginning of the game is challenging but gets a lot easier as you level up. The game has a lot of Quality of Life that makes the whole experience more enjoyable such as temporary vestiges (The game equivalent to a bonfire or site of grace) that you can use to help you re-spawn in the in a better location when you die but it is limited to only ONE and only if you get the right item to activated which are rare. Another quality of life are the spells. Unlike Elden Ring which you have to scroll until you find the right spell, Lords of fallen uses a Shortcut menu for example using a play station controller hold L2 and then press Square, Triangle, Circle, or X for the spell you assign to that button making spell casting a whole lot faster and easier to cycle thru and find the proper spell you need making combat more fluid and enjoyable. The game also has a great parry system inspired by Sekiro. The combat, weapon variety, and build experimentation are the strongest parts of the game. The Umbral lamp system is one of the most interesting mechanics I’ve seen in a Soulslike, and exploring the two worlds at the same time creates some memorable moments. The ability to try different weapons, upgrade them, and combine melee with spells gives you a lot of freedom in how you want to play. The bosses are also a highlight. Some fights are challenging and have great designs specially in the beginning , and the world itself has a dark atmosphere that fits the setting very well. The interconnected areas and exploration reminded me of classic Souls games, and discovering shortcuts and hidden paths was satisfying. My biggest problem with the game is the storytelling and quest design. The lore and ideas are interesting, but the game often does not explain enough. Several NPC quests and major story moments happen with very little context, making it easy to miss important details or feel confused about what is happening. Compared to games like Elden Ring, which also use environmental storytelling, Lords of the Fallen does not always make the player feel connected to the characters or understand the consequences of their choices. The ending I experienced had interesting ideas, but I finished it feeling like I had to search for explanations instead of feeling the impact of the story. Another thing the game falters is that not all areas are interconnected and you get lost and wondering where you should go next. A lot of the weapons also share the same move set which makes the game lack variety on its combat. The spell schools are also not explain properly. The game lore, NPC's and story while promising and interesting in the beginning was somewhat lacking in its execution by the end of the game. Overall, Lords of the Fallen is a good Soulslike with excellent combat systems, a unique world mechanic, and lots of build variety. It has flaws, especially with storytelling and quest clarity, but there is a lot to enjoy for fans of the genre. In conclusion I had fun with the time I Spend in the game, while not perfect you could tell the developers clearly put a lot of love, passion effort to make something original.
