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?
Pretty dang good. Weapons creation system was a neat concept, in practicality there wasn’t much reason to get wild with it but the idea is neat. Loved the amount of defensive options available, loved being able to take more risky sword parries for massive damage and stagger rewards.
Maybe don’t call your progression system the P organ. I was giggling every time.
I would rank it about middle in the fromsoft games. Pretty high praise tbh I do like their games a lot.
