Update on Lost Soul Aside's RPG patch: Anticipation runs high for improvements akin to Cyberpunk 2077, aiming to boost overall Steam ratings.

Lost Soul Aside, the action-RPG game inspired by Final Fantasy, has received a significant update from its developer, Ultizero Games. This Shanghai-based studio, led by Yang Bing, started as a solo project before growing into a full team effort.

Since its release in 2020, Lost Soul Aside has been receiving mixed reviews on Steam. However, the game's humour seems to have alleviated some of the impact, with players finding it "unintentionally one of the funniest games of the year." Despite this, the game has only managed to earn 58% Positive reviews on Steam.

The latest update for Lost Soul Aside includes a variety of improvements. Players can now enjoy improved auto-saves, skippable cutscenes, rebalanced boss battles, and visual upgrades. These changes have sparked hope among some players, reminiscent of the transformation Cyberpunk 2077 underwent with the release of update 2.0 and the Phantom Liberty DLC in 2023.

However, not all reactions to the Lost Soul Aside update have been positive. One Twitter user commented that the update is "a joke," echoing some of the Mixed Steam reviews the game has received since its release.

Despite these criticisms, an enthusiastic fan has predicted that Lost Soul Aside is about to have a "cyber punk moment," hinting at the potential for a significant turnaround similar to that of Cyberpunk 2077. Only time will tell if this prediction comes true.

The combination of update 2.0 and the Phantom Liberty DLC helped "right the wrongs of a challenging launch" for Cyberpunk 2077. If Lost Soul Aside can follow a similar path, it may yet prove to be a game worth revisiting.
