Critic Reviews
- Lords of the Fallen does a lot of things right. Its exploration is its strongest point, and jumping from the human and Umbra realms provides unique enemy encounters and secrets. However, while its combat could have been great, it's ultimately marred by poor hitbox detection and a lock-on camera that will get you killed more than it will save you. There is just something about the world that kept me coming back for more. Whether it was the exploration, the great monster and character designs, or the world itself. Lords of the Fallen is a great return to the dark gothic style of these highly difficult titles.
Garri Bagdasarov · Jan 04, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - If one can look past the technical limitations and lack of control customization, Lords of the Fallen is a strong addition to the soulslike catalogue. With solid combat and fascinating, multi-layered exploration, not only does Lords of the Fallen do enough to stand out from a crowded field, it manages to be a great game for those with a Dark Souls itch to scratch.
Alex Prakken · Nov 22, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - There is a lot to like about Lords of the Fallen. The scope and scale of the two worlds is impressive, whilst the combat is fast and frantic. Even the exploration side of things, while tricky, is rewarding when you manage to pull it off.
Paul Renshaw · Oct 26, 2023 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Simply put, The Lords Of The Fallen beat the crap out of me. I languished, I lamented, but I lingered on, and as I'm sitting here now I am looking back fondly on what I did... As much as I wanted to toss my controllers around, I would be lying if I said I didn't have fun with The Lords Of The Fallen.
Jason Fanelli · Oct 25, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - ...Lords of the Fallen never reaches the heights of greatness like its contemporaries and it ends up leaving only a small dent on the genre.
Sam Aberdeen · Oct 25, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - If it wasn't for the performance issues this would be a near flawless experience. Hopefully, we get DLC or a sequel because I'm already craving more of this unique dual-world action RPG.
Paul Hunter · Oct 22, 2023 Reviewed on PC, PS5, Series X|SRead full review - Lords of the Fallen is indeed a Soulslike. And for some, that’s all they need. But be prepared for a challenge to complete the journey, and not in a good way.
Steven Mills · Oct 21, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Lords of the Fallen is a satisfying action RPG and a remarkable soft reboot of a franchise that nobody thought had a future...It’s unfortunate that a genuinely great game is sullied by a severe lack of polish.
David Restrepo · Oct 21, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Lords of the Fallen has a lot to offer but is largely held back by technical issues throughout, and the further I progressed through the game, the more striking these problems became, escalating from a few dips in framerate to hard crashes and glaring pop-in. Despite that, there is still an enjoyable game here: The boss fights are satisfying and challenging, the enemies are varied, and you have so many options with how you wish to play. The introduction of the new classes and character creator are welcome, even if the latter is imperfect. Of course, the real standout here is the Umbral Lamp, with Lords of the Fallen being elevated by the dual worlds you can explore. This won’t be a jumping-on point for anyone who isn’t already a fan of the genre, but if you’re on the market for a challenging RPG, Lords of the Fallen will certainly scratch that itch.
Morgan Truder · Oct 19, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Lords of the Fallen is enough to tide you over until the next Soulslike, and it has some arresting sights, but it lacks a focus of its own.
