lords of the fallen game review

Alright, listen up, y’all. This here “Lords of the Fallen” game, it’s somethin’ else, I tell ya. Folks keep talkin’ about it, so I figured I’d give it a whirl. Now, I ain’t no fancy gamer or nothin’, just a regular person tryin’ to make sense of this newfangled thing.

First off, they say this world, Mournstead, it’s huge! Bigger than that old “Lords” game, five times bigger they say. That’s a lot of walkin’, let me tell ya. You’re one of them Dark Crusaders, gotta go and overthrow this Adyr fella. Sounds like a heap of trouble if you ask me. But hey, that’s what they pay ya for, right?

The Good Stuff, now listen close. This game, it ain’t just about bashin’ heads, though there’s plenty of that. It’s got this here trick up its sleeve, somethin’ they call swappin’ between two worlds. One minute you’re here, the next you’re… somewhere else! It’s like peekin’ behind the curtain, seein’ what’s really goin’ on. And let me tell ya, it’s mighty clever. You gotta use this trick to solve puzzles and beat up them bad guys. Makes you feel like you’re actually thinkin’, not just mashin’ buttons.

They give you a long ol’ tutorial, which is good for folks like me who don’t know a joystick from a chicken leg. Teaches you how to swing your sword and all that. And they ain’t shy about givin’ you a hand neither. So you don’t get stuck too long in one place, which is a relief. Ain’t nobody got time to be wanderin’ around lost all day.

• Big world, lots to see.
• That two-world trick is real neat.
• Tutorial helps you learn the ropes.
• Game gives you hints, so you don’t get lost.

The Not-So-Good Stuff, now, this game ain’t perfect, mind you. Some folks say it’s harder than that “Elden Ring” game. And let me tell ya, that’s sayin’ somethin’. Them enemies, they come at ya in droves, like ants on a sugar pile. And they’re tough as nails, too! Even the little ones, they take forever to knock down. You can level up all you want, get the best weapons, and still feel like you’re fightin’ with a wet noodle.

Now, I ain’t sayin’ it’s a bad game. It’s good, real good. But it needs some fixin’, that’s for sure. Maybe they could tone down them enemies a bit, make ’em less spongy. Or give us a bigger stick to swing. Somethin’ to make us feel like we stand a chance.

They say it’s a “soulslike” game. Whatever that means. Sounds fancy, huh? But all I know is, it’s hard. Real hard. You gotta be patient, and you gotta be stubborn. But if you stick with it, there’s somethin’ special here. This Mournstead place, it keeps callin’ ya back, even after you get your butt kicked. It’s got this grim curiosity, they say. And I reckon they’re right.

Overall, this “Lords of the Fallen,” it’s a wild ride. It’s got its ups and downs, its good parts and its bad parts. But if you’re lookin’ for a challenge, somethin’ to sink your teeth into, then this here game might just be for you. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you get stomped by a bunch of zombies, alright? You been warned.

Final words? It’s a good ‘un, but be ready for a fight. That’s all there is to it.
