Lords of the Fallen is CI Games’ attempt at building a proper souls-like on the scale of a full open-world RPG, and it mostly gets there by leaning into a gimmick that actually works: two worlds layered on top of each other, one for the living and one for the dead, that you flip between as you explore. You play a Dark Crusader sent to stop the demon god Adyr from clawing his way back after being sealed away, and the setup gives you a reason to keep pushing into increasingly grim territory instead of just chasing a vague prophecy.

How it plays

The combat is the familiar rhythm of stamina management, careful spacing, and punishing bosses, but CI Games gives you a huge toolbox to work with: flails, crossbows, straight swords, and spellwork all sit on the table, and you pick a class at the start that nudges your build toward melee, ranged, or magic without locking you in permanently. The dual-world structure is the real hook, though. Dying or using specific items drags you into the world of the dead, which reshapes the map, opens new paths, and throws different enemies at you, so exploration constantly rewards curiosity rather than just muscle memory. You can play the whole campaign solo, or bring a friend into co-op with shared progression, and the post-launch updates (CI Games has pushed out a long list of them, including a major 2.0 overhaul) reworked the combat feel and smoothed out a lot of the rough edges people noticed at launch.

Who it’s for

If you like the Souls formula but wish the maps had more going on, this is worth your attention. The two-world system gives it a puzzle-box quality that games like Elden Ring or Lies of P don’t really attempt, and the weapon variety means you’re not stuck picking between “big sword” and “bigger sword.” It’s not for players who bounced off punishing combat before and hoped a new coat of paint would change their mind, and if you’re allergic to backtracking or methodical exploration, the dual-world design will probably wear on you rather than delight you. Co-op fans should also note it’s built around playing with another person if you want company, not a full party.

Is it worth it?

For genre fans, this is a lot of game: two intertwined worlds, a deep weapon and build system, and a developer that kept iterating well after release instead of walking away. That last part matters more than it sounds, since a game that’s still getting balance passes and quality-of-life fixes years later tends to feel more polished than its launch reviews suggested. It’s the kind of RPG that rewards patience, both in how you play it and in when you buy it. If you’re not in a rush, it’s a strong pickup whenever it shows up discounted, since the core experience (long, atmospheric, occasionally brutal) doesn’t lose anything by waiting.
