Lost Soul Aside Launches to Mixed Reviews With Performance Fixes Pledged

Ultizero promises performance updates following mixed launch-day feedback on PC and PS5.

Overview

  • The action RPG is now available on PlayStation 5 and PC, with a free demo on both platforms featuring two boss encounters and no save transfer.
  • Early Steam user reviews sit in the Mixed range at roughly 54% positive, citing inconsistent frame rates, awkward traversal, and rough animation alongside audio and narrative complaints.
  • Ultizero acknowledged stuttering in some prologue cutscenes caused by pre-rendered 4K/30fps videos, apologized, and said optimizations and future updates are in progress.
  • Critics and players largely praise the fast, combo-driven combat and frequent boss fights, but report weak English localization, thin storytelling, and noticeable polish issues.
  • Some who tried the demo say they are deferring purchases until patches, reflecting how the try-before-you-buy rollout is shaping early buying decisions.
