To be perfectly honest with you, there are quite a few Soulslike games out there that arguably offer a better overall experience than Lords of the Fallen. However, few of those other Soulslike games offer the GoW-like dark fantasy setting and gory combat that Lords of the Fallen so gleefully features. 

Indeed, as a dark fantasy action RPG that revolves around a fight against the gods, Lords of the Fallen successfully scratches quite a few God of War itches. Granted, it’s tough as nails, somewhat shallow, and a bit lacking in terms of its story and characters, but this thing absolutely nails its atmosphere and methodical style of combat.

Don’t be fooled by your initial skepticism of this suggestion. Despite their obvious differences, 2018’s GoW and Yakuza 0 actually benefit from a lot of the same design philosophies, storytelling concepts, and gameplay mechanics. 

After all, both games feature semi-open-world environments, a ton of side activities, hard-hitting fights, epic narratives, memorable characters, and a surprising amount of heart that seemingly represents the love that went into them. Granted, there’s no guarantee that loving one of these games means that you’ll even like the other, but many GoW fans may be surprised by how hard they fall for Yakuza 0 and the Yakuza franchise in general.
