Is Lords of the Fallen Good?
Yes, Lords of the Fallen is a good soulslike game, according to reviews. Many critics have praised its gorgeous visuals and clever implementation of the dual-world mechanic. Additionally, critics have enjoyed the robust customization that allows for plenty of build potential and leads to challenging yet enjoyable combat.
However, where the game falls short is in its boss battles, performance, and lack of identity. Even the most positive reviews claim that the game’s setting feels a little derivative. Nevertheless, most reviewers found that the positives far outweighed the negatives while playing.
