Out last October.
Action - 3rd person RPG.
Think say Mordor ...Elder Scrolls ...Witcher ...Dark Souls
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lords_of_the_Fallen
Video preview;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcnMRHK5-40

Some say ;
".....could call Lords of the Fallen a (Dark) Souls game for the meek and 
the uninitiated..."
(so could be just right for me :)
"... the story, concept, and characters were "commendable",
liked the slow weapons-based combat...that's where the game "shines the 
brightest"

At release it was heavily criticized for Bugs
buts there has been big patches so should now be OK .

".....could call Lords of the Fallen a (Dark) Souls game for the meek"

    A friend who's played both really has nothing kind to say about LOTF: 
'A bad game that looks pretty'.   In any case, I'm getting much enjoyment 
out of DS1, though it's taking me a long time to learn the mechanics of 
gameplay, as much of that is trial-and-error, as I'm generally avoiding 
looking things up, only resorting to that when I'm stuck.

I need to get back to Kingdoms of Amalur one day.

If you're into 3rd person fantasy hack n slash type games you look at
the Castlevania Lords of Shadow titles.

Castlevania games -thanks Rin . I have just looked & they are certainly 
interesting.
Looks as though  "Lords of Shadow " 1st one is the best on the PC.

I likely won't buy as with Mordor , Dying Light, & I have recently started 
Assassins Creed Brotherhood
my current play-times there is only so much jump & Bash & Slash - bounce 
around, I can stand.
