How is the newish Lord's of the fallen if I'm just looking for a dark fantasy souls like? I've beaten all the fromsoftware titles and am really just waiting for the Elden Ring DLC (hexbear.net)

I think it is genuinely excellent, imho it's a game that will appeal to you if you liked dark souls 1 more than the others.

Exploration is challenging, checkpoints are rarer, you have to be patient and observant or you'll get ganged up on. Boss fights are easy and it's quite possible to break the game wide open with some builds.

It's the only non fromsoft version of "the fromsoftware game" that has a proper interconnected world that actually makes sense (for a fantasy world) and informs you as to what to expect based on logical deductions about the environment.

If you prefer games that clearly explain everything, give you many checkpoints, and focus on the action rather than exploration and RPG then you will probably find it tedious, plodding, trivial, and confusing.
