That was actually something that I noticed in all of the gameplay vids but I thought they were saving the tough ones. Shit.

Interesting to see so mixed reviews. I'll wait and see the Steam user reviews. I've got lots of other games to play at the moment so I'm in no rush.

Yet here’s a “souls fanatic” giving it a 9. If I know anything about Souls fans they are very sensitive about performance. There is hell to pay if you fuck up their I-frames.
9/10 on games.cz, from a huge souls fanatic

It's Ed Nightingale and the game isn't full of oppressed minorities and identity politics so of course he didn't like it.

I don't reach Czech, but it's possible they're on different platforms. A few others highlighted performance issues on PS5.

Me too, but I'm considering waiting for some performance patches.

Guess no one can do dark souls proper except From. Ah well will play it once patches to improve performance.

From can't be accused for copying themselves tho.

Aaaaand there it is. No longer can we rate a game based on gameplay, story or visuals but we must ensure it aligns with and grovels to my social values.

Most seem to hate that its basically dark souls. No one cared that lies of p is poor mans Bloodborne tho. I will get it anyway, but I must say the score is surprising.

Wait, so the biggest critism of this souls like is that it's too similar to dark souls? huh

You can get it for around $40 on PC.

I read yesterday that Yharnam is not as good as Hotel Krat, I just can't... novelty is really turning heads
More dark souls sounds good to me but it seems to be a mix of technical issues, potentially being too easy? I tried to watch nothing but might have to check properly before dropping the coins on it

Even for that price I'm weary. I bought the first one for that price and ended up never playing it past the first few hours because it's just so bad. It seemed like they learned a few things with this one but based on what I'm hearing so far, it might not be the case.
I don't put too much stock in reviews but having already played the original one and a few of their games, I'm cautious.

Both a reboot and a sequel, Lords of teh Fallen brings a new twinned plane idea to the Soulslike, but can it live up to the genre's best?

That Eurogamer review is dogshit. It seems like he's giving it a terrible score for being a souls clone when everyone knows that's exactly what it is.

Looks like the not-so-mighty Lords have Fallen.

It's on a 77 on pc so it's probably mostly tech issues on consoles.
Wow at the first part that's blasphemy.

I was thinking the same. That score doesn't match up with their complaints at all.

Some divisive reviews, but mostly positive as expected. Now I can go in with normal expectations and just enjoy the game.

To be fair the guy who gave 9 did mention that the game has framerate drops ocasionally - like you can play large stretch for hours at stable 60 and then enter some room and it drops to 30. He hopes patches will fix it up. It did not destroy the experience, but it was annoying. He played on PC (9900K, RTX 4080 - so those drops might have been CPU related).

Another czech review from soulshead, this one played PS5 version and gave it 8

He mostly complained about the game being a bit too close to souls games and about some technical issues (but he says most were cleared up by patches during review process).
