In this Lords of the Fallen review, we'll go over how the game has learnt from its predecessor, what's great, and what could still be better.
Lords of the Fallen may carry the namesake of its predecessor, but it bears mercifully few of its sins. A new Soulslike with plenty of rough spots, there is an undeniable charm, passion, and love for the genre that shine through to create a genuine experience. So what went right this time around? How has Lords of the Fallen 2023 learnt from its predecessor’s mistakes, and what still needs improving? We’ll cover it all in this Lords of the Fallen review.
That narrative is reasonably engaging. It’s best driven by the game’s cast of characters, each of whom feel distinct and unique, bringing different perspectives and ideas. Some clearly have their own agendas, and that does a lot to sell the story. You’ll meet disciples of Orius, followers of Adyr, and those who reject the clashing gods entirely during your playthrough.
But these aspects only carry a game like this partway, and gameplay must complete the picture. Combat in Lords of the Fallen isn’t exceptional, but nor is it poor. You’ve got so many known mechanics, which again hurt its sense of identity, but are still handled well. From blocking, guard regains, parrying, dodging, armour weight, and more, any player will quickly be familiar with much of what this game’s combat approach offers.
Levels aren’t inspired in their own right, taking much from the genre as a whole, but they still serve the game effectively. You’ll encounter greatly differing environments, plenty of which play with verticality and shortcuts. Sometimes these shortcuts feel a little pointless, sometimes they’re much appreciated. Rarely, if ever, did exploring a level feel truly tedious. Even the swamp level was acceptable, albeit just barely.
