Not sure which to choose. It's probably safer to wait. 
Well, despite their display of impressive scores, it looks like the performances are not good for everyone and opinions are divided.
Many users report problems on Steam, where the score is currently Mostly Negative, and I've seen that from several critics (using RTX 4080 or 4090, for ex.). Curiously, another critic with an RTX 3060 had a smooth experience. Multiple report crashes, too.
Not all critics are shiny: GameSpot has given it 5/10 (mediocre), saying 'For all of Lords of Fallen's good ideas, it struggles to make the payoff worthy of the investment. Its meandering level design and slogging encounters turn challenge into tedium, leaving a feeling that getting up and doing something else would be time better spent.'
And WccfTech has been more generous with 6.8/10, saying 'Combat is the heart and the (dark) soul of any soulslike, and an interesting story and solid world design can only do so little to alleviate issues stemming from clunky combat design.'
Of course, some critics may just have a bad day, and the negative scores are the first to appear on Steam since the others are still playing. I'll just wait for others' opinion here.

This is interesting because Gamespot used to be known for being really generous with their scores. Now they've given this a 5, and they also gave Starfield a 7.
