25.10.2023
Lords of the Fallen is very different from its 2014 counterpart, specifically because the Soulslike RPG layers two different game worlds on top of each other. When you die, your soul departs the living world of Axiom and plunges into the dead world of Umbral, and it’s here where I’ve encountered...
