It took a few attempts to warm up to this title but at a certain point it fully clicked and I've had a fantastic time with Lords of the Fallen. The first real boss "Pieta" felt like an impossible hurdle to overcome and had me stop playing for days between a series of attempts. Eventually I figured out how to proceed and I learned to rely on dodging instead of parrying. From that point on I've had a mostly positive time in this homage to Dark Souls that is far more accessible than many other games in this genre. Full co-op is also a bonus.
