Even a month on from its release, the 2023 reboot of Lords of the Fallen still has clear issues on console and PC. The use of Unreal Engine 5 allows for lumen and nanite technologies here, and this is a true current-gen PS5, Xbox Series X and S game. However this technology isn't optimised well for its 60fps performance mode on console - with extreme hang-ups dragging play down to single digit frame-rates.

Note: the game was tested for this video on patch 1.1.293, but all issues persist on today's patch 1.1.310 (or 1.16 in the system menus) - as shown in this Series S re-test below:
