Lords of the Fallen's most difficult boss is... performance problems on every platform

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.

Performance woes affect PC, PS5, as well as Xbox Series X/S - though the extent to which they do on each platform varies.

On Steam, the PC version started out with a Mostly Negative user review rating, though it has since gone up to Mixed, so things have evened out a bit. Performance problems, and even crashes, have been all over player complaints on the Steam forums and elsewhere.
