Lies of P is a pretentious, Souls like that doesn’t have very many original ideas. Imagine Bloodborne with hints of Sekiro and Elden Ring, mashed up with a Pinocchio centered story. The combat is mostly satisfying, with plenty of enemy variation, Map design is completely uninspired, with only a handful of levels not ripped from some other souls like. The real crux of this game is centered around the boss battles. They can be maddeningly hard, and satisfying in equal measure. Parrying is essential and the parry times can be really fun to learn and master. However, there is one boss fight that is so poorly designed, so poorly thought out that I can’t seriously recommend this game to anyone. The developer has potential, and I’m excited for their next game. Really wanted to like Lies of P, but the developers really fumbled the bag with the out of pocket boss design.
