Everything about Lords of the Fallen was horrible.
Combat was catastrophically terrible with how enemies can just casually one-hit you even in the frigging tutorial level.
Enemy design in general was horrible with spiders as small as your foot stun-locking you (Souls-like with jankiness of Gothic 1 combat, oof).
Weapon balance was completely out of whack with slow weapons being practically useless (due to aforementioned stun-locking).
Level design was trash with stuff like tiny staircases and other small, narrow corridors - all of these things are poison to a Souls-like game.
The camera was orders of magnitudes worse than in Dark Souls (and the camera already is one of the worst enemies in DS...).
Controls were just plain buggy, with potion drinking sometimes simply not happening (the potion was used up, but no healing happened), dodges not triggering, etc.
And all of the above I gathered from playing less than five hours
There's a reason the game sits at a ~50% rating.
I have 0 faith that the same developers could produce a good game.
However, at least from the store page, it seems that only the publisher is the same, but the developer is not for this remake? Intriguing.
