After playing Demon's Souls, all the Dark Souls games, Elden Ring, Mortal Shell, Nioh (1 and 2), Lies of P, and even the goofy charm of Another Crab's Treasure, I finally got around to Lords of the Fallen 2.0 and I reaaaally loved it. I finished the game twice on my xbox series X with regular and adyr ending ng+, yet to finish it here.

The combat is really polished. It feels a lot better than the original Lords of the Fallen which I also have finished on xbox, You’ve got a dedicated jump button now, which is honestly unnecessary but I think it's something some people asked and that's another point I liked, CI Games proved they listen us, and the many complaints people did at launch. The game also have some of that Elden Ring smoothness, but don’t expect the same level of freedom. And while the lock-on system is definitely improved, it’s still not as buttery as Dark Souls 3. Some weapons hit hard and feel super satisfying, kinda like Mortal Shell’s heavy crunch. I used radiance build in my first run and inferno build in my 2nd run, but I feel inferno is the most powerful one.

Now the co-op mode share progression, and they’ve got this Friend Pass thing that lets your friends join in even if they don’t own the game. Again, CI GAMES proving they care and listen to us.

There are two realms—the regular one and this creepy Umbral realm, which gives me goosebumps sometimes. The lamp system that helps with navigation is pretty neat.

Character customization is better now. It’s not on the same level as Nioh 2, but it's also great. And the visuals are amazing, Unreal Engine 5 makes everything look great, and I love the photo mode and the 3d photos, the gothic vibe and the energy the landscape gives me.

I personally enjoyed Lords of the Fallen 2 just as much as I enjoyed Elden Ring and Dark Souls, you must at least try it, you will not regret If you’re into Soulslike games.
