#lordsofthefallen2023 #soulslike - เกม
I enjoyed the game. Finished it 4 times. And once with a friend from start to finish. I found out i enjoyed it more when i stoped trying to compare it to the souls series
it's fair to compare it to the other souls because it's a copy and paste of the formula on any level but without innovation and originality
Me too 💯
@@GoulaLegamer what bro that is a complete lie
maybe u should check you're eyesight@@brunogonzalez5830
@@GoulaLegamer you def hasn't played it
The new Lords of the Fallen had a rough launch, but man, I finally played through it last month and did the umbral ending. All I've got to say is, wow, what an underrated, AWESOME GAME! The weapons, armor, and spell variety are great. The bosses are really cool, and the umbral experience can be sweaty AF 😂! There are some issues in the late game with enemy variety, but all in all, I loved it!
Like the launch, I had a rough start, but picked it up again last weekend and can't put it down! I just love the dark and evil art style and animation along with the anxiety I get when in Umbral.
The art style is top notch
@@pedropaulo174 For myself, atmosphere and environment are one of the most important things in a game and LOTF art shines in a very dark land.
@@pedropaulo174 Art style in this game is the best I have seen
I think Umbral is fine. You're supposed to leave it fast and look around with your lamp. After a myriad of patches it's very good apart from the lack of enemy variety and weapon movesets. I think you're comparing it way too much with Souls.
I agree with the stupid lunge with every swing, though. That's such a stupid decision, especially if one of the first areas is scaffolding at a cliff side.
Really hope we get a more polished part 2 with more Umbral stuff. The lamp mechanic is so good.
On my first playthrough as I write this, and I do not understand the hate. I absolutely love this game. The interconnectivity of the map is amazing and how the world works with Axion and Umbral takes me all the way back to Soul Reaver. The art style and sound design is stunning, and found myself more than often to just stare into the distance and listen. The fast paced movement in combat feels good. Love the mix of the combat from Sekiro with Dark Souls/Elden Ring. What an aboslute gem this is.
Edit: I actually haven't encountered any bugs but very few graphical glitches. And no crashes what so ever. So I guess they managed to fix most of it.
Elden ring definitely reused its bosses a ton. In my books, even more than Lords of the Fallen
I mean 33 bosses vs 238 bosses quite obvious
Elden ring was nothing but copy paste, overhyped cash grab.
Yes, but at least the combat in ER is far better. Not to mention the fact that it's a far better game overall than LOTF.
@@loubloom1941 elden ring combat better? How tf so?
lol Elden ring is far superior to this game
The game was much worse on release but rly improved over time due to the fixes.
It just released a few months ago. The devs really did right by us gamers with the quick fixes.
It didn't improve the core gameplay. It's still painfully mediocre, at best.
Really regret pre ordering this ☠️ genuinely have more fun playing scholar of the first sin
Whether you liked the game or not, you have to admit that $70 for this game on release was an insult. It barely functioned on console and they had the audacity to price is as a full AAA game
False, I had zero problems since launch and have beaten it 3+ times
Agreed @@ericcartman1168
Can’t say I agree with your point about the umbral realm. I think forcing the player into umbral to progress shows a puzzle element. And for trophy and item hunters like me it’s an added challenge to double over everything to make sure you can be the best undead loot goblin you can be. I love this game, the biggest complaint is the bugs - and the pvp matchmaking - and yeah, enemy diversity could be better. Still enjoying the hell out of it though.
While it’s had its hiccups since launch, I actually really enjoyed LoTF. Absolutely love the art direction and the fast combat/movement. I think it would’ve benefited from an open world design much like Elden Ring. My only gripe was the final boss was very disappointing
I very much agree. Overall I had a good time, there's just a lot of problems that were hard for me to get by. Final boss was definitely a let down.
@@sheNEDigans having said that I do hope Hexworks improves and makes a sequel, they definitely are in the right direction
@@sheNEDigans I enjoyed it the bosses were fine mostly the fact I could fight them without wanting to through the controller, umbral was fine and also your in the land of the dead so it made sense to me why they kept coming back that being said most of your views on bosses I agree with you, dark souls does do this all you do is continue the cycles I'd rather have the ending options with at least 1 being an end to everything unlike dark souls
My loving family got this for me for this past Christmas and I don’t regret it at all despite what some or even many criticize the game for. Yes it ain’t gonna be no Elden Ring, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Demon’s souls or any of the Dark Souls games, but does it really need to be? Trying to compare this game will only take away the unique identity and charm this game still has. Maybe not perfect but far from a bad game. The world always looked very interesting to me and the ability to travel from the living world to the dead world and back seamlessly is a huge highlight. Plus it’s not like the devs gave up as they are and always will be hard at work to keep updating the game for the long haul. So the naysayers (not including you of course 😊👍) can say what they want but this game to me still holds up in its own right.
I liked the game. And the concept. The designs and graphics were awesome. Only thing bad about it is they started putting side bosses as normal enemies which seemed reallly lazy. And they toned down the hoards of enemy’s but made bosses harder. I like the game a lot.
I legitimately love Lords of the Fallen. I really don't understand what people dislike about it
For starters how about
Bosses becoming regular mob enemies?
@@aaqibjavedz2569 Yea? And then you learn how to handle them and get better..
@@aaqibjavedz2569 People complain about this? Plenty of games do it, Elden Ring included. Or are we gonna ignore Rick, Soldier of God being copy pasted everywhere.
@@BlackBladeSombra
In the souls games some big enemies that where tough to beat will dissappear after you kill them once.
In lords of the fallen they STILL appear and sometimes multiple of them.
And god forbid you're in umbral because you'll face off against the endlessly spawning enemies as well... I love this game but my god it makes me want to punch thru a fucking brick wall.
@@lBorosDavidl Fair 😂
I thought it was alright, played it through 3 playthroughs and enjoyed my time but I wouldn't put it in any top lists etc
Seems like it's more than alright since you ran 3 playthroughs lol
After such a rocky launch, I really didn't expect much from Lords of the Fallen, but I've enjoyed it way more than most of the Souls like titles. At current price, it's a really great title
This game is amazing!!! Faults and all, I love the dark story and brutal gothic layout!!!! 2 worlds in 1 big GAME CHAGER to the souls like games!!! Hope for another game from the devs or badass DLC!!!! I would recommend this game for anyone who is hungry for more souls like!!!!
The game has a lot of things wrong with it but nonetheless I found myself playing through 3 times. The concept of the lamp is fantastic. That kept me engaged. The lackluster boss fights were my biggest criticism, followed by the enemies being the same end game as the ones in the beginning of the game.
Difficulty in this game discussion: 'Hey let's create something close to a masterpiece, then lets take a diarrhea dump on it'.
seeing judge cleric ready to battle makes me want to log in
I've played through the game a couple of times, and I'm sure I'll play it again at some point, I actually liked this game better than Lies of P. It's certainly not perfect, but I'm a sucker for a world that rewards exploration, gives me the ability to sword and board, and or use magic, and has a ton of different weapon types. One big problem is that this game was compared to Elden Ring, and nothing is Elden Ring except Elden Ring, that game is a culmination of a decade of genre defining games, there is no reasonable person that should have expected this game (or any game really) to be on that level.
Truly I understand the hate on this game, but at a certain point the hate is just silly, I got this game 2 days ago and I absolutely love it, it just feels nice, has a lot of unique features, runes, armor shaders a ton of stuff, as a fashion fiend in souls games I love this game and the combat and combinations of weapons
difficulty for the sake of difficulty will never work for a souls-like and they’ll always be forgettable, unless i had to get through a double boss fight to see the chest behind the door, yeeha boi
On my first playthrough. I am about 30+ hours in and am having a blast playing this game. I have yet to encounter a game breaking bug. Haven't even had a single crash. (PS5). I also played the first game and had a decent time but this one is way better than the first one
The game is good experience it for yourself. Yeah it can be fleshed out in some areas which will happen through the road map updates.
I thought the game was fine had no issues but they could have done more with the umbral
More? Such as?
You just got a sub from me based entirely on that "Lords of the Fallen...and I can't get up" joke lol
Very well made video👌👌 keep up the good work✌✌
i found the game great, it feels like a 2015 game in modern chlothes, and something about it is charming. i wish there was more enemy variaty and some more major bosses which are more of a challenge
I had zero issues with this game. I loved it.
Then you have very low standards.
Play more games.
Have you played DS2: scholar of the first sin?
If you enjoyed LoTF i'm sure you'll love ds2 even more, basically better LoTF.
That’s exactly how you backstab a in Bloodborne.
This guy just sucks at the game - only real problems are the glitches, having to manually pick up your souls, and enemy placement. Just because it’s a souls like doesn’t mean it has to be exactly like dark souls…
Yeah he straight up says the Parry mechanic sucks. And its kinda required to play the game properly.
The parry is no worse than Lies Of P's, its close to Sekiro tightness and its FAR BETTER than Dark Souls/Elden Ring parrying.
He just sucked and it made his playthrough frustrating so he's projecting that by calling it a bad game.
@@BraidzMC I’m glad he’s not getting that many views though
The weapon move-sets are the one big disappointment in the game. Since they’ve ironed out a lot of the issues the game had I launch, I think it’s very solid all around. People tend to be very hyperbolic about how much they dislike this game. For some reason acting personally insulted by it. I think it’s all over exaggerated and disingenuous for the most part. Not saying people dont actually dislike it. But people seem to lean into it being horrible because it’s kind of the popular thing to do. It’s objectively a good game. Not great. But good. Horrible? No.
Honestly, I just finished my first playthrough and I gotta say I bought the game on launch and stopped playing it because it was full of frame-rate issues but when I finished my play-through after update 1.5. I love this game now, love the umbral mechanic wish there were more enemies in that world. Love the interconnectivity and the combat. Bosses are good but I hate it when they put bosses as normal enemies.
Overall, this game is really fun, if you like DS2 like me …. I would highly recommend this game, I hope they bring dlc or another sequel.
This is the last game I did pre order. They advertised the game as a full crossplay game but the game received this fonctions 2+ weeks later. It was very dispointing. I wanted to play ps5/PC with my son but we had to wait. I have my lesson on pre orderting now.
I finished my first playthrough and absolutely loved this game ..I went for umbral ending with a pure radiant build and had a blast ..it ran great on ps5 no hickups or frame drops of any ..this game had a rough launch ..it’s a very underrated game cause of that and TH-camrs trashing it ..all I can say is it is a awesome game ..✌🏻
Is it better than 'Adventure' on the Atari 2600?
Song name in the montage?
Good review. But i miss a score out of 10 at the end. Many people find that reductive, but I disagree.
Loved the game, loved the lore, lovwd the combat. Enjoyed it bunches. Awesome game. My only criticism, the last boss was a little meh.
Loved this game
Your gripe with the backstabbing I kinda disagree with it’s the exact same in bloodborne and I think it works fine great video tho
It's no Souls game, but it does have some fun bosses. Which counts for a lot imo.
However, there is a lot of annoying BS in it. Like levels all kinda looking the same making it easy to get lost. Also the umbral land and having to go back and forth between it is decently annoying... also regular enemy placements are kinda annoying... combat encounters lack a bit of weight, emotionally and in the animation.
The gameplay/gamefeel is on par with DS2 imo.
Fantastic game, loved every play through of it
For me this game is the closest any soulslike has gotten to Fromsoft games because just like those there is a couple absolutely infuriating moments along the way (cough cough, armoured dogs, cough cough), but when you're in the zone the sense of flow is impeccable. Except Sekiro, that game is peak for 100% of the time
LOTS of other games use minibosses as enemy introductions before spawning them normally that feature is fine just not refined. The backstab and parry feature are certainly way better than other souls-like games I remember just simply rolling behind half the enemies and backstabbing them instantly throughout the majority of DS2, it made the games easy af.
I couldn't stand the 'ice skating' combat.
..and making the parry suck.
Also, the platforming looked intriguing at first but quickly became an annoyance.
Didn't like the 'rear back' lantern animation.
I dunno. I think the endings were appropriate for what the game was going for.
You, the player, are a pawn. The game even calls mankind such in the beginning of the game. And we remain such throughout the entirety of the game.
Also, it looks like the ps5 crashes far less now.
Edit: it’s also miles better than the first game. I really liked this one, but goddamn do I loathe the first lords of the fallen. That jump in quality alone is worth of praise.
I kid you not, I started this game, went back and did an entire play through, started LOF back up, went back and played elden ring lmao. LOF was absolutely terrible
I like this game but it pisses me off. The lock on sucks and I still get kicked off playing offline. Really frustrating.
Fantastic video! The jokes and bursts of motivational speech were amazing xD
Bro you had me cracking up the entire video good shit , I enjoyed the gameplay and I want it so bad but I’m scared to spending 60
The game could have some improvements, but if it was as close to dark souls as people wanted then they'd be complaining that it's too similar or a lazy copy. I think it's important to judge soulslikes as their own game rather than comparing. This is INSPIRED by dark souls, it's NOT dark souls itself. I really like the ubral situation because it forces you to be on your toes and act fast. That's literally the whole point of even having a second more dark dimension. A lot of criticism it's getting is fair but a lot of it also isn't fair because it's separate from dark souls.
This game had so much potential. I played it from launch, and despite all the bugs and issues I got all the endings and majority of the weapons then bam, they stripped us of our maxed out weapons to push us into multiplayer (that had a broken netcode and was subject to constant frame drops) to get our upgrades back all so they could maximize player retention. Idk what the game is like now and I have no intention of ever revisiting. I’d rather play ds2 over and over than this shit lmao
Breh 0:10 is based AF
Couldn't go more than 10 hours with this one, neither could my friend. We were so hyped because the world looked amazing in the trailers and the artwork too... and then 90% of the game ends up feeling awful. I don't know if there is any modding community around this one, but if there is, someone should make a 'lotf made gooder' mod, just making everything thats wrong with it better. Then I'd play it again
Beautifull fun game. Only thing I didn't like is the "lock on". Did 4 playtrough, all endings, all different builds.
I love LoTF. I've bought quite a few new games and they are just ass. Very rarely they make a good, creaive game. And the world shifting brought back nostalgia if playing LoC Soul Reaver 😂
I can see the connections to Soul Reaver and why that would be nostalgic. The Legacy of Kain series is bloody amazing.
@@sheNEDigans yeah it is. I'm going to start a playthrough soon. 😂 I wish they'd remake those games. Masterpieces. The voice acting really stood out.
I personally love how bleak the endings are. Representative of the world you’re in.
0:42 🥁
This game is the most depressing thing I've ever played 😂
It actually is a good game, maybe not Elden Ring level but it certainly is good. People just jumping on the hate bandwagon.
Pretty acurate but a bit harsh. Maybe I picked it up later after the bugs were fixed. I think it's great.
It a tough world to figure out, with umbral. You need 'walkthrough' clip, to help you gain confidence in WHERE you at and WHERE you going. Once you know or are fairly confident about what you need to do to advance story, you will find umbral not that scary. You have to limit variables. Cuz. If you not know where you are, umbral clock to red phantom ticking, plus you have more mobs to kill, and you thinking about dying and having to do everything over again, and if you looking for the stone 'gargoyle' get you out of umbral, plus what objective you have to do while in umbral, anxiety just might create an untimely death, all by itself. So. First playthrough gonna be rough. If you want best 'guide' out there, FightinCowboy have walkthrough, also for achievements and umbral, more difficult ending. If you a person, feel you have to prove you can do everything alone, this clip apply to YOU. Boss difficulty in NG+, snowball to like 5X difficulty, first playthrough.
Your wrong about the pairy it slaps love this game so much 😊
This game was amazing 👏 ... (veteran player)
I was so fucking disappointed by this game. I tried so hard to like. Got close to the end and just had to quit when they started throwing enemies with FUCKING ONE SHOT HOMING LAZERS! That was the last straw with me.
Tails of Iron mentioned!
The backstab works like BB. I get it and I can see why people don't like it but I've been sucked in because fashion souls.
Good video👍
I didnt like it because of the price and game I thought it would be. I pre-ordered the deluxe edition as I thought this was going to be ds3 mixed with demon souls all I got was wish version of ds2
Yeah IDK, I've played basically every souls like under the sun and we were spoilt last year. This and Lies Of P felt like the first games by other devs to really get "it".
LOTF Felt like the interconnected Dark Souls 1 type map we never got a sequel of and the fashion souls is great, its a lil gank squad-ish like DS2 but probably to a lesser extent than what Team B made, and the world design makes up for it.
You wildin
I stand by it still today tails of iron sucks major ass
I learned to enjoy this game waaay more once i took it for wtat it really is. Its just a fun mess. But it's so damn enjoyable lol. . I love this channel. Sometimes i agree sometimes i dont but i akways watch. Lords of The Fallen is awesome to me
Yeah sadly this game was a disappointment. I also get they’re still trying to fix a lot of things, but the constant updates just led me to uninstalling lol
This game is actually amazing... I never played at launch but the dev's are truly putting in work and want this game to succeed, performance is not an issue. Hot take, you're just hoping on the hate train, literally every example shown was a bug, glitch, or just pure noobish mechanics on your part (panic rolling being a big one, in all fairness.... GIT GUD LUL) gameplay is actually solid and feels really nice but if you took the time to review the game on a non-bias view you'd probably see that under the bugs they had at launch lies a true diamond in the rough. I expect with more frequent patches and future DLC this game will be a well polished gem.

there is a reason its called the s### stasion
The holy enemies are much harder than the reapers
Really good video, but I have to disagree with your comments on the endings as you seem to be ignoring the religious influences in your arguments. You said in Adyr's ending you become second in command and gain power, a tangible reward and that's why it's the best, something you can see and measure to an extent, which makes sense for the in game equivalent of the devil basically. Seeking immediate and temporary material gains.
With Orius being the equivalent of a god in game, that ending seems to be more like you've completed your tasks of faith and have been accepted into the in game equivalent of heaven. A holy and faithful life isn't rewarded or measured with tangible goods or power.
The Umbral ending is similar but through the lens of Lovecraft in that the reward is incomprehensible to mere mortals. To us, unable to understand that sacred and ancient knowledge, it looks like getting eaten by a giant eyeball with teeth, but that's because we have no idea what comes next and are incapable of understanding it. It could be infinite pleasure, pain, and power like something from Hellraiser which you rightly brought up. I think the influences and religious parallels are strong enough throughout the game to be inherent in the endings too.
I'll still definitely agree that the fight against Adyr is terrible and that the cutscenes being so short only to be text on the screen is really disappointing, but I also think there's more value to be found in what is there when taking the influences and context into account than what you've made seem. Still a really good video though and looking forward to more! Keep it up!
I enjoyed it was good not wanting to throw a controller through a window
bloodborne backstabs are the same way and i think its better than a free backstab
should probably open with ds2 was your favorite
gonna be honest i appreciate the work yall do for game reviews but i want a review of this game from a non souls player tbh
People say if you like DS2 you'll like LOTF? DS2 is my favorite DS and I HATE LOTF! The way your guys on skates every time you swing your feet slide across the surface like 20 feet. The never ending fodder making it impossible to ever clear a stage, all the platforming and terrible hit box and controls... And worst of all TERRIBLE blatant souls copy in every aspect, nothing is original like Lies of P, everything in LOTF dark soul has already done way better. Had so much potential too, if they just fixed the sliding issue It'd be at least playable but rn it's not even playable.
My god I hate the skating! Swinging your weapon in this game is just awful.
@@sheNEDigans yea it feels like a mobile hack and slash more then a DS game. Its like they reversed F'd it up, we want original souls like combat and weapon system with original new bosses and game, instead they copied all the DS bosses and levels and gave us what DS already has done better, then the part we really care about the feel and the game play doesnt feel like dark souls at all. like why couldnt they copy DS combat if they can copy everything else?
Bro's like "It has floaty movement, too many gank squads and bad hitboxes, this is nothing like dark souls 2"
Sounds like Dark Souls 2 to me.
It's more like Dark Souls 1.5 tho coz its got all that Dark Souls 2 jank with the beauty of a Dark Souls 1 world design.
@@BraidzMC lmao yea a bunch of flaming skulls is such great world design.. Anything else they just blatantly copied DS. Oh yea Umbral where it looks like someone sprayed whipped cream all over the place under a blue filtered and called it a different world.. Thats suppose to be the selling point lol..
A bunch of flaming skulls is the world design now? You mean the art direction? Either way, tell us you didn't make it past Pilgrims Perch without telling us with that attitude. Parry too hard? Let me guess, Sekiro also sucked? 🤣Skill issue@@elizabethandeldinkamberovi1929
I absolutely love this game. I have done 4 runs and on my 5th. Have been achievement hunting and am very much enjoying it.
Nice game...a finished game two times...is not perfect...but i enjoy...and i dont understand why people complain about some nonsense...at the end this is very good souls game and stop crying 😂
Game dead I can’t find nobody to join, might go back to Elden ring for the dlc and pvp
They haven't fixed any bugs since launch?
I loved DS2. People are freaking crybabies 😂😂
I really enjoyed the game, but I also hate it. The levels were overly complicated and a lot of the "shortcuts" were completely irrelevant. Lots of shit bosses, and the gank squads were infuriating. Fun combat, though. Good graphics. Probably more obtuse than Souls games, which explain very little as it is. I will now watch your video.
😂
Dark souls 2 is 🔥 people hate on it for no reason
For no reason? I love the game but let’s not pretend, “for no reason.”
i gave the game up on console a few months back due to the terrible frame drops and lagginess, hopped back in today and all seems to run smooth just absolutely lost now lmao
Like @Monster3Games said. Stop comparing with DS games and you'll enjoy it more for what it does do well instead of wishing it was more like a DS game while saying 'I don't mean to compare but...".
You literally contradict yourself several times with saying that it's souls like and then comparing it directly (Key word being LIKE).
Good review otherwise.
Nothing but haters this game is great I love it
TOO F****** HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOTF is too damn hard!!! I beat Elden Ring, but LOTF makes that game feel like Donkey Kong by comparison! I just ran by every enemy, never fought. Then I stumbled upon the first boss, Pieta. I could only get ONE hit in, then died instantly. I tried for HOURS...same results every time. Screw this damn game! Should be illegal to make games this hard, devs should lose their jobs!!!
It was garbage, thank God, someone with some level of understanding of game design.
Nioh 2 best souls like.. sorry not sorry
Lords of the fallen feels like a rip off of dark souls 2
What killed me with this game was the combat design in-and-of-itself. The dodge rolling is weird, attacking is weird, blocking and parries are weird...I don't think there is any fixing a game that is just fundamentally flawed. Sucks, too, I think its level design and art style are really cool and I wish I could just explore it more, but I just cannot deal with this awful combat system.
people have gotten used to playing darksouls and elden ring which are easy games, I don't understand where people find a game difficulty in killing enemies in 10 seconds or seeing a goldfish kill Malenia in its first phase, even if it has the stronger set than ER, still a goldfish....
also many have the habit of facing bosses along the walls of the arena that make the camera unmanageable.....souls games should be frustrating and difficult and this one is.
