As a fan of FromSoft, this scratched an itch as far as something familiar but having a brand new setting. The story and lore is phenomenal and the gameplay and general vibe is almost Reminiscent of Sekiro and Bloodborne. It’s one clone that marks all of the boxes and excels and what it tries to do.

A game that really scratches the itch for enjoyers of Soulsborne titles. The gameplay loop plays out very similarly to those games if you are familiar with them, but the combat is more akin to Sekiro, with a heavy emphasis on your deflection timing. The atmosphere and soundtrack of the game is excellent, separating itself from the pack of typical souls-likes.

I'm a Soulsbourne/Souls-Like veteran and have had my eye on Lies of P since its first announcement,and it is in my opinion the best Souls-Like game out there. From the gameplay to the very style and beautifully designed characters and areas and tight game controls, it is also true to the difficulty it was based on "Bloodborne" but has its own twist on the difficulty that may make other gamers including those that are used to playing Souls games shy away. Blocking is the main focus of defensive gameplay, just Blocking an attack has your hero take "chip damage" and like Bloodborne you can hit the enemy back to regan some health. On the other hand perfect blocking negates any damage and even allows for better follow up attacks. The one problem is that a lot of enemies seem to have either very little frames of animation or love to have big swings that trick the player which can come across as frustrating or unfair. Regardless if you stick with it and like any souls game "persevere" you will find that Lies of P is becoming one of the greats of challenging style games.

For someone who wants to get into soulslike type games, this is a fantastic place to start. Fantastic story telling, graphics and performance were great day one. Challenging but fair combat with fair learning curve for new comers to the genre!!! Highly recommended

By far the best souls-like out there! Great lore, environments and story. Thought it was mimicking Blooborne a bit much at first, but the game then goes on its own tangent and shines with unique gameplay.

My first souls like! Amazing gameplay. Combat is a mix of Sekiro sword play and blocking and Dark souls pace. Amazing graphics, soundtrack and story setting.

The world and story of this game are richly detailed, nuanced and fully engrossing.
The characters inhabiting are incredibly drawn with such sensitivity and many of the character’s backstories moved me so much, that it gave me chills a number of times. And some of the bosses in this game will likely have you screaming at your screen after sinking more time than you’d like into beating them. Ultimately I was surprised by how much it made me think about what it means to be human, and I hope others feel the same way after this experience.

Lies of P is very challenging but rewarding gaming experience. Its not genre defining by any means but what it does offer is a compelling cast of characters and an interesting world to explore. The combat is a particular highlight for me as it is fast, strategic and brutal. For anyone looking for the sequal to Playstation's Bloodborne this checks all the boxes in everything but name. The game runs great on the PS5 and the controls are tight. Visually the game looks amazing for a soulslike with great lighting and gore effects. Definitely recommend trying it out and supporting a little known studio who gives a quality experience day 1. 5 stars for me

Let me be clear, I hate “souls-like games.” I tried Bloodborne and could not get past the first boss. I haven’t played a game in this genre since Lies of P. This game is so creative and interesting that I’ve pushed through to “get gud” and am happy I’m able to get far. Currently in the swamp lands and cannot stop thinking about this game. It’s most definitely a challenge, but it’s worth the blood, sweat and tears. If you’re even remotely interested, do yourself a favor and pick this up! I’ll never look at Pinocchio the same again.

This is one of the greatest "souls-like" games out there. I think it can even stand toe to toe with Fromsoft's games. It does have its own twists to the formula, but it also absolutely borrows a lot from Dark Souls, Sekiro, and most especially Bloodborne. If the game wasn't so good then that would have been more egregious, but the game is really good, so I think it can wear its inspirations with pride. It might also be harder than most souls games too, which is important to note if you struggle with those games difficulty.

Overall its a usual dark souls style game where you play, fail, and revive at the nearest checkpoint you found/interacted with last. The actual gameplay though is a mix between dark souls and sekiro where timing blocks rewards you with various things as you kevel up your charachter. The plot is pretty simple, “save us, go here, do that, good boy” but the overall feeling of it was great and interesting.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas this past year, and we've thoroughly enjoyed playing through it so far. It plays very similarly to a Dark Souls game, but where DS had makes you stress over the difficulty, Lies of P takes similar mechanics that make it easier to learn and react to. The story is amazing, the characters are fun, and all around it's been an epic game so far. 10/10 highly recommend.
