I was a little sceptical about the game because while not actively trying to be Bloodborne 2, the media and fans have been hyping it up to be. After trying the demo, I wasn’t really convinced either since the game felt quite clunky to me and the mechanics hadn’t hooked me in.

Now after having jailbroken my PS4 and having given Lies of P another try, I’m actually quite enjoying my time. The mix of bleak atmosphere and colour palette paired with music very reminiscent of Bloodborne, the parry mechanic that reminds me a lot of Sekiro when it comes to boss attacks and their timings, and the new mechanics - like a free heal after dealing enough damage when out of heals - that add a certain quality of life to the genre, makes me enjoy my time quite a lot so far.

Mind you, I’ve only played for around 3h or so, but what I’ve seen so far has been convincing, indeed.

Have you guys given Lies of P a try? What is your opinion on the game? Where would you rank it in your Souls tierlist?

    I have only played it for a short amount of time then unfortunately neglected the game due to university and never really picked it up again (I should tho). From what I can remember, I enjoyed the game and liked the dark atmosphere. Also really enjoyed the parry-system because Sekiro-style.

    However, I unfortunately don’t really like the ‘‘puppet’’ kind of style (despite it being the core of the game). As I’m not sure whether you’ve met a boss, I will spoiler-tag it:

    I don’t really like that the bosses are huge. I prefer the bosses that Sekiro had, human-sized.

    I also was not sure what to think of the character, we are playing. Found the looks of it a bit odd.

    The rank I will give it in my list would be: BloodBorne -> Sekiro -> Lies of P. I have not counted DS1-3 nor Elden Ring because they were not my type of games.
