Lies of P

Insanely addictive, highly rewarding game in an exceptionally classical Dark Souls style with delicious level design and utmost effective level up system.

After getting platinum trophies for just every game in this genre, I was pleasantly surprised at how great Lies of P is.

One of very few SoulsBorne games where you invest in your character, your character thanks you. Takes everything the best from the genre and marries it to an amazing story.

Got my platinum trophy yesterday on PS5 and already hugely miss this game. Will most likely get Lies of P on Xbox too and get all the achievements.

This masterpiece easily deserves to have over 90% on Metacritic.

There is a little bit of:

• Dark Souls,
• Sekiro,
• Elden Ring,
• Steelrising and a lot of Bloodborne, but most importantly, the game has it's own unique identity and style which you won't see in any other Souls-Like games.

This game is really hard and it will push your patience many times but if you are willing to put the time in, you will be fine. Make sure you use every tool the game has to offer.

I love the story, the character design, the art style and the combat. Audio is aslo top class.

Took me 24 hours to beat the game and new game+ will also have some new things for you. If you are a pc or xbox owner, then you must give it a go because it is in Game Pass so you can play for free if you have a subscription.

Amazing game and I highly recommend it. If you are a Souls fan, then it is a must play. Enjoy.

'Lies of P' is a hauntingly beautiful game, a macabre twist on the story of 'Pinocchio'. It's like 'Bloodborne' meets 'Steelrising' meets 'Detroit: Become Human'. It's gorgeous, with a stunning atmosphere, and incredibly fun (and challenging) to play. There are numerous weapon designs and builds to choose from, and the battle system is quick-paced but fairly easy to learn.

My only issue is with the story development. I see what they were trying to accomplish, but I feel that the story could've benefitted from tighter writing; it felt as if they were trying to do too much at once, which made the plot feel somewhat convoluted. Tightening up the story would've strengthened it, making it more cohesive and coherent, and it would've eliminated some of the plot holes (there are several). One of the endings, especially, would've benefitted greatly from this, and it would've given a stronger resolution to the main character's story.

Also, if they had given the main character dialogue and had him speak, it would've profoundly elevated the narrative and made the game unique amongst other souls-likes. Silent protagonists work well for those games, but it just feels strange for this one, considering the story centers on a character discovering his humanity.

Other than those issues, it's a truly fantastic game, and the developers should be proud of the work they've done.

As a souls fan I was skeptical about playing this game, and the game dragged me in by its fangs and took me to places I could never predict in my adulthood gaming experiences.

Let's start with the story, its a dark and grim adaptation on the well known Pinocchio story, with nice little twists and adaptations. Won't spoil anything here but it sure does it well. With the dark world and adult themes, and great voice acting as well.

Now for combat. It is polished and pretty tight, don't expect to go into the game and brute force it all the way, sure you can do that for the early game bosses, but eventually they will throw all the mechanics into to the game and you will be forced to adapt. It is not a combat I'm used to therefore I struggled with the game, but it was sooo satisfying beating that one boss you died 30 times because you mastered it and all its moves.

Overall it's the best soulslike I have ever played and it seem like the developers truly put their heart and souls into the game. I would go even as far as saying its better then a few souls games itself. So go ahead and try the game out its worth every penny and you will learn to be good at games again.

Probably the best Soulslike ever made, Lies of P takes heavy inspiration from Bloodborne and Sekiro with its intense, precise combat and gothic-steampunk aesthetic. The bosses like any other souls like are challenging, memorable, and rewarding. But if you are struggling you can summon a npc character to fight along side you, however this is totally optional much like mimics in Elden ring.

The stunning graphics and rich world-building create an immersive experience. With a wide variety of build options and multiple endings, there's plenty of replay value. If you're tired of waiting for a Bloodborne remaster or PC port, Lies of P is the closest thing to it and it truly stands on its own as a must-play masterpiece.
