Challenging and fu A fun adventure most Dark Souls fans will enjoy – it’s faster paced and has some mechanics that take a little getting used to. It ‘clicked’ for me about 3 hours in but has consistently given a challenge at each subsequent boss. Cutscenes seem to struggle a bit but gameplay is consistently smooth. Not many people seem to be playing in coop so be prepared to ‘git gud’!
Excellent Soulslike with the best graphics I’ve see Great game and some of the best current gen graphics I’ve seen. If you like Dark Souls I think you’d also love this. Sure, it’s similar but it also has plenty of new mechanics added like the switching world between living and dead mechanic which is excellent. This also adds some clever puzzles which I liked.
I had read some average reviews about this game but these were mostly about the frame rates etc but these seem to been patched out now as I’ve had it looking and running beautifully on PS5 but I use the performance mode only.
I’m having a great time with the game and for the price it is now, it’s an absolute bargain for a big game
A GREAT souls game… I was sceptical about buying this game because of other poor reviews, but after biting the bullet and doing so anyway, I realised just how wrong those poor reviews were, and just how good this game really is.
I am a huge fan of souls games and after pumping 200+ hours into Elden Ring, I was struggling to find something that gave me the same level of challenge, excitement and exploration. I tried Demon Souls, and that was ok. But LOTF? This game has come through giving me exactly what I was looking for.
YES.. there’s the occasional frame stutter, but does it warrant a bad review? Absolutely not.
This game is vast with a lot of different enemies in both worlds, aswell as the opportunity to build a class to suit your preferences – there really is endless opportunities to tackle the game and I feel the game can be played in many different ways. I’m 40 hours in and will likely be playing this for a very long time.
Underrated game. Yes, it did at first have some bugs, but patches sorted everything for me. Has a few framerate stutters infrequently, but not unlike a few recent games of late. Game itself is great, fairly challenging, not souls challenging, but enough. Looks nice too and dual layered levels is a fantastic new addition.
Needs performance fixes, but I love it! I’m in the final area of my first play through, so feel it’s time to write a review.
Firstly, it does have performance issues. It’s never crashed for me, it’s just frame stutter and texture load in. The later in the game you get the more apparent they become. But, the developers are actively trying to fix it, and updates are coming regularly, so there’s definitely hope.
That being said, I love this game so much, even with the issues. The world is AMAZING! And there are so many build opportunities, armour sets etc, it’s crazy! It’s brutally difficult in places, but it’s never put me off.
After playing for over 50 hours I’m still having a blast! I already know I’m going to end up with more hours in this than any other soulslike.
Without the issues it would be a 5 star game, for me personally. But each to their own, do your research and decide if the issues and play style and things you can live with. If you’re worried then just wait for future patches.
For me though, I don’t regret the purchase one bit! 🙂
Amazing game. This game is as good as any dark souls game and then some. Also it is much better than life of p.
I give it a 8.9 out of 10. It is a must buy.
Ignore those saying it's "unplayable" The game is not perfect but the 2 reviews giving it a 1 star and saying it is “unplayable” are just pathetic. There have been some small technical issues here and there that should have been sorted before release but nothing big enough to warrant labelling it as that.
This is the best soulslike I have played so far and anyone who enjoys those games will very much enjoy this too.
Another great souls like game First things first you will either love it or hate it stunning. Beautiful game frustrating at times due to the amount of times you will die.. But stick with it… after 8 hours still stuck on the 1st main boss but give it time getting better and not rage quit yet lol
