Remember Lords of the Fallen? Not the original 2014 game, the sequel that came out in October last year and was fairly divisive. The game’s developer, Hexworks, never really stopped working on it.
]]>Last year's Lords of the Fallen reboot is getting a sequel, as its publisher CI Games signs a deal with Epic.
]]>Looks like Game Pass subscribers will be able to play Lords of the Fallen and Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 at some point this year.
]]>Lords of the Fallen developer HexWorks has delivered one final major update, rounding out the game’s months-long roadmap of new content and patches. Available today, the 1.5 Master of Fate update is the culmination of over 30 patches released since the game’s launch last October.
]]>It’s common to hear 2023 referred to as one of the best years we’ve had in a while when it comes to the quality of video games consistently releasing throughout the year. But I’d like to argue that it’s also the year many B games established themselves as more than just the stuff you skip past when you’re looking at the calendar.
]]>I never thought I’d be writing this, but the idea of building a new PC is nowhere near as exciting to me as it used to be. Putting together the right build, taking the budget as far as it could, hunting for deals, buying from different retailers just to save a bit of money (and the act of opening so many Chrome tabs that precedes all that) have always brought me so much joy.
]]>The latest round of free content for Lords of the Fallen has been released, and it celebrates a rather interesting character.
]]>About two weeks ago, Hexworks, developer of the flawed but ultimately worth playing Lords of the Fallen, made an unusual announcement. The studio shared a roadmap for the game, just after the Halloween event had ended.
]]>CI Games and Hexworks have announced a schedule of upcoming content for Lords of the Fallen, outlining the roadmap for the remainder of the year.
]]>Lords of the Fallen developer Hexworks clearly thought you were all having too nice of a time, so the game's most recent patch has made a number of bosses tougher.
]]>These days, you can expect Halloween events in spooky games, wholesome indie games, as well as live service games that will jump on any and every opportunity to sell $20 skins. But it's rare for the type of game that Lords of the Fallen is - Souls-like action RPG - to host its own.
]]>Spider-Man 2 clearly hasn't sucked all the air out of the proverbial October room when it comes to big releases. Lords of the Falen, a smaller game by comparison, managed to sell 1 million units in under ten days, 54% of which were made on consoles.
]]>Things clearly move very quickly in the world of game development, and that's especially true in the case of Lords of the Fallen. Just days after the developer addressed a major point of criticism, saying it will remain as it is, things have already started to change.
]]>If you've been playing Lords of the Fallen yourself, or followed any coverage about the game since its release, you'll be immediately familiar with one particular complaint that most players and reviewers have with the game.
]]>My time with Lords of the Fallen started out very positive, but it was disheartening to see my opinion on it turn the more of it I played. It’s a game with some genuinely brilliant ideas, and a high-level vision of how to set itself apart from other Souls-likes. But that vision did not seem to have been shared by everyone on the team.
]]>Lords of the Fallen hasn’t had the smoothest launch. Though it previewed well, got a lot of credit for how beautiful it looks, and received a good selection of scores when the review embargo lifted, CI Games’ loyal take on the Soulslike genre has come under fire from some sectors of the internet. There were performance issues on every platform, but Xbox users had it worst, thanks to the fact the game shipped with an outdated build.
]]>As a Souls-like, Lords of the Fallen's animations will be judged harshly by players in the saturated genre. Boss animations in particular tend to get the most attention, because of the amount of work that goes into them, as well as their relevance for players going through the game.
]]>Lords of the Fallen has officially been out for a few days, and the initial reception from players has been fairly negative. Although there's a lot to like about Hexworks' first project, not least just how next-gen it looks, the main problem everyone seems to be running into is just how poorly it runs.
]]>I didn’t know quite what to expect from Lords of the Fallen. This is also a sentence I know I must’ve uttered ten years ago, prior to the release of Lords of the Fallen (2014). The two games looked visually impressive in trailers, and you could tell it was a point of pride for the developers of both games to really show how their work outshines its inspirations – and plenty of games available at the time.
]]>After what seemed like years, a developer switch-up, and a bizarre name change - Lords of the Fallen is finally days away from release. That's 14 days, to be exact, as of this writing.
]]>Lords of the Fallen, the debut game from Hexworks, is a game that dares to ask: “What if Soul Reaver, but Dark Souls?” Just in case you've somehow missed all the recent coverage - including this chonky gameplay trailer - the game showed up today at Gamescom's Opening Night Live.
]]>You can’t play Lords of the Fallen (the PS5/Xbox Series one, not the last-gen one) even for a second and not see the similarities it has with the critically-acclaimed, goth-favourite, action-adventure PlayStation and PC game, Soul Reaver.
]]>If you play enough action RPGs, particularly Souls-likes, you're going to notice certain moves and attack patterns by the biggest bosses. FromSoftware's even re-uses certain animations from its earlier games all the time, but the developer is typically good at recontextualising them so it doesn't look like the same exact move.
]]>Lords of the Fallen, not to be confused with Lords of the Fallen (2014), is the reboot that was initially titled The Lords of the Fallen. If you haven't already clicked off the page, you're actually in for a pretty solid few minutes.
