Lords of the Fallen review - in the shadow of Dark Souls

Lords of the Fallen is a soulslike stuck between two worlds. While you explore the grimdark land of Mournstead and its Umbral counterpart in Hexworks' debut release, you'll find innovative ideas bogged down by a prescriptive adherence to Dark Souls' now-iconic design. There's a solid soulslike adventure here, but I wish Lords of the Fallen could have stepped fully out of FromSoftware's shadow.
