A wave of excitement surrounds Lords of the Fallen as developers roll out Update 2.0. The new update includes a free Friends Pass and enhanced co-op gameplay, aiming to reclaim players' interest ahead of the sequel scheduled for next year.

What's New in the Update?

The latest update brings significant enhancements in gameplay, including improvements noted by players. Some are having fun with the game but have reported issues, such as not receiving rewards from soulflayed chests. Others are curious if the developers found a way to balance the game better, moving away from overwhelming enemy counts and invulnerability mechanics.

"I tried it a bit with my partner tonight. We had a lot of fun, but he couldn't get some of the rewards from soulflayed chests," a player shared.

Player Opinions

Reactions from the community reflect a mixed bag of optimism and skepticism:

  • Improvements recognized: Players acknowledge the developersโ€™ effort in addressing earlier shortcomings. "The dev team was really up front about this game not meeting their expectations when it launched and promised to spend the time to get it right. I would say they have done that," one commenter noted.

  • Seamless co-op: Players express curiosity about co-op functionality, with one stating that only one copy of the game is needed for seamless joint play, similar to It Takes Two.

  • General performance: Many players recall the game's launch issues stemming from Unreal Engine 5, such as performance stutter. Some say the game is now more entertaining, despite feeling like a Dark Souls experience at home.

Community Buzz

Despite a rocky past, thereโ€™s a sense of excitement in the community:

  • "Yeah, they updated this a while back, they lowered enemy counts in some areas where it was overwhelming."

  • "Clearly, these devs have some level of passion and love for their craft if they kept working at it for free, when they could have just run away."
