Action Game Lost Soul Aside Improves with New PS5, PC Patch

As highlighted in our Lost Soul Aside PS5 review, the title still needs extra refinement before we can give it an unconditional thumbs-up.

Still, it delivers several bright spots, so it’s encouraging to watch studio UltiZero Games take notes and start polishing the shipped build.

A freshly issued update, ready for download right now, rolls out a slate of enhancements – touching on combat feel, pacing, and overall equilibrium.

The complete changelog, first posted on social channels, is reprinted underneath:

We still saw merit in Lost Soul Aside at launch, so here’s hoping these tweaks smooth the ride.

“We’re of two minds about Lost Soul Aside,” our review stated. “One side celebrates its intricate combat sandbox and the freedom it hands the player. The other winces at the threadbare plot, flat cast, and a world that fails to stick in the memory.”
