The longer you go without recovering and spending your experience, and you will actually earn extra for your conquests - up to double. Another interesting twist is the multiplier system. Take too long, and you will have nothing to recover. For example, you must hurry back to your ghost, because every few seconds some of that experience trickles away. The influences are there to be seen, but Lords of the Fallen has managed to put a few wrinkles on the formula popularized by the Souls games. Think of these stone markings as the bonfires from Souls titles. There is no singular hub in this title, though the blacksmith's shop often feels like one once you encounter it. This experience has to be spent at specific locations that serve as restoration and save point. Even the mechanic where if (really, more a matter of 'when') our protagonist Harkyn perishes will look familiar, as he must then rush back to where he died in order to reclaim his experience. A reliance on action combat, where weapons have different styles and hefts that directly impact combat make this title very familiar for Souls veterans. I am a big fan of the "Souls" titles, and Lords of the Fallen owes a great deal to those games. Of course, I easily recommend the game itself as well. The price is reasonable and it comes with all of the DLC, so I would recommend this. For anyone who missed this title the first time along and was thinking about playing it, this latest edition is certainly the definitive one. Since then the game has received several patches, some for bugs and others to tweak how the title itself plays. He played it on PC, and at the time it was clearly a very attractive game, though there we some graphical hiccups in the engine. When Robert had a chance to review Lords of the Fallen when it first released, he was a big fan of the title. So with a year of patching the game under its belt and some additional items and a new zone, how does the game hold up now? Quite well, actually. Lords of the Fallen: Complete Edition brings the underrated action-RPG title from last year back to the PlayStation 4 with access to all of the prior DLC.
