Lord of the Fallen is a sequel to the game of the same name released in 2014. It has mixed reviews on Steam and mostly received scores between 85 and 70. Now, HEXWORKS and CI Games plan to deliver an even greater story. The devs promised a world five times larger than its predecessor, two different realms, nine character classes, a variety of character customization, and 100 different weapons.

All that suggests you’re going to need a strong rig to journey in this world.
