Unveiling the Epic World of Lords of the Fallen

Unveiling the Epic World of Lords of the Fallen

In his Zero Punctuation review, Yahtzee critiques Lords of the Fallen (2023), a soulslike game with a dark fantasy theme. While it has some unique features like dual world gameplay and a viable bow build, the game suffers from inconsistent spookiness and a lack of could-be-arsedness in certain areas. The boss fights are reasonable, but the gauntlets of enemies in between become tiresome. Overall, it fares better than its predecessor but still falls short in some aspects.
