Gigantic Lords of the Fallen update makes brutal RPG feel like a new game

The battle with Ornstein and Smough will always be the most iconic part of Dark Souls, but I personally love the moment when you first meet Solaire. For the opening couple of hours, Lordran has been a bleak, cruel, and empty world, devoid of both literal and proverbial warmth - but suddenly, you have a buddy. Companionship is fundamental to the soulslike. The multiplayer-based Elden Ring Nightreign, and also The Duskbloods, will take that principle to its conclusion. But don’t overlook Lords of the Fallen. A gigantic new update practically remakes every core element of CI Games’ brutal RPG, and from now on, if you play with a friend, they can join your adventure for free.
