The devs have honestly done a great job following up with updates and hotfixes. They say the next patch will address the enemy density which is one of the biggest issues. They'll reduce enemies overall and will move the current enemy placement to NG+.
I read this post (without knowing the game yet but having it on a wishlist to get in a few months) and can't stop thinking how lucky we were with the quality of Dark Souls, Elden Ring, BB and Sekiro.
It really does look like they're putting in the work and I'm excited to check it out. I'm just waiting to hear that the performance has been ironed out to pick it up.
this one honestly sounds like a pretty solid entry in the soulslike games. people really seem to enjoy it and i've read multiple comparisons of this to DS1
Yeah I am really enjoying it. Had a great year for soulslikes with lies of P and now this. I am playing on ps5 and performance is pretty good but framerate drops do happen and some areas are pretty rough. I don't really have any problem with the enemy placement except where I am currently stuck fighting 3 mini bosses and a bunch of dogs/ranged attackers in a row which is a bit much. I recently recently replayed all the souls games and think the comparison to ds1 is probably correct but its parry combat is closer to sekiro though not quite as snappy.
I didn't get how this could be news but as it happens, this is the sequel of the game also called Lords of the Fallen released in 2014. Why they didn't think it was a bad idea to give it exactly the same title is beyond me, however.
