Nice vid, I don't fully agree, but think it is a solid and beautiful game. I think the mechanics and quarks they chose are not good and add unnecessary clunkiness to the combat. I changed to play with mods that give the sekiro parry timing and unlock the movement/dodge restrictions and the game feels way better but then it becomes quite easy. They balanced a soulslike around taking away basic functions or making basic functions harder and then made the bosses and enemies a bit more intense. You slowly unlock those basic functions and it becomes a cake-walk, which to me is a sign of them not knowing how to balance the difficulty. Additionally, I feel the flow of soulslikes needs less dialogue than this game has, but that is just a preference. The easy and linear levels were fine but uninteresting, and overall the combat is one of the best in the soulslike genre, but I think I feel that only once the movement functions are unlocked in the skill-tree.

Lies of was the real 2023 goty . Amazing game!

The amount of praise this game has gotten is baffling. I guess it has better combat than The Witcher 3, but that's not saying much.

Between Lies of P and Wukong, i will never play a Fromsoft game again. Both were so much better at the Souls formula while also having huge changes to make them difficult in a fun way unlike Miyazaki who is legitimately a sadist.

To me, this game is better than all from software games.

Honestly Lies of P is my 'Elden Ring'. this game need all the love it can get because I want a sequel ASAP!! the story has SO much potential!

Lies of P is easily the best soulslike, Mortal Shell is by far the worst lol

I mean souls games changed gaming forever like games have to be cyberpunk level for me to enjoy it

This game is a masterpiece!

I’ve always found the lies of p parrying easier than Sekiro Epically with the rally mechanic

I honestly think I’m the only one who genuinely cared about the story

Lol lies of P did NOT change souls game 😂 it’s a solid game but it tries too hard to be BB and fails. It’s not open enough and slow as hell. And I have no clue why everyone in the comment section is saying it’s very difficult lol. Like I said, good game but chill out. This game has changed nothing within souls and to say it’s better than sekiro is just hilariously ignorant and wrong. 😂 bro come at me on this comment section. I genuinely wanna hear some of you people rage over the fact you’re too impatient to handle a true hard souls game

I treated myself to the Korean collectors edition of this game and let me tell you the packaging and set up of it was better and more beautiful than most. This really was a project of love for these developers. I can’t wait to see what the DLC will bring!

Lies of p was an amazing game it just needs a coop system to play with friends!

The Crucible Knights are among the coolest NPCs in the game. Becoming one actually broke my habit of playing a sorcerer as my main build. Great to see that a Crucible Knight build can hold up in the late game too!

I hated the idea of Souls games, and had zero interest in ever playing them. I was intrigued by Lies of P's setting and aesthetics , so I put by biases aside, and settled in for the grind. I ended up loving it so much that I did a second playthrough, then played Lords of the Fallen (2023), and about 25 hours of Elden Ring. Lords of the Fallen was okay, but not nearly as good, and I got bored with the cryptic open world style of Elden Ring. I much prefer the linear style offered by Lies of P, where it's all about overcoming the enemies, rather than running around giant landscapes and giant castles/dungeons looking for the next big fight. I'll immediately snatch up any Lies of P DLC or sequels, because this game was something special, and got me to fall in love with a style of gameplay I thought I'd despise.

I just finished my first playthrough and I'm halfway through my second already lol. This game hits the spot since I was obsessed with Bloodborne and Sekiro. It's an amazing experience and Lies of P is one of my favourite Souls games now. Even though it's a "souls like" I think this game deserves to be called a true souls game. I'm really looking forward to the DLC now.

FYI, The video intro BGM is from Stellar Blades, another amazing action game.

Lies of p is one of my favorite games even over Elden Ring, After NG+8 I finally put it down

Atmosphere/combat/mystery. Dark souls is a phenomenon that’ll forever be the best.

Eagerly waiting for the Wizard of Oz DLC.

I played it last summer 2024 and I had a total blast! I really wanted to 100% it and NG+ Laxasia was too hard and even if I somewhat managed to pass her, oof, after seeing that Nameless Puppet, I think the few remaining trophies will stay unlocked. Maybe I should’ve spammed the shield-spear combo! 🤭

Gaol = Jail. Not goyle.

For me, the game is nearly a 10/10. The only aspect that made the game 9/10, is the exploration. I love linear games. But exploration feels a bit too « easy ». There is not the fromsoft magic like there is in bloodborne / ds1 / ds3. But what a masterpiece

I’ve always thought that Lies of P was the only souls like game that’s as good as a souls game

This was a REALLY good video! Thank you!

Where did you find the thumbnail art from. I went to the artist’s instagram page and didn’t see it.

What are the stats?😊

Which builds are easy to change, that help you get most weapons and spells ?

personally i feel turned off by the fact that crucible knight is suppose to be very tanky but when we use the armor we cant even poise dog attack lol it feels like we are just the junior crucible

Hard Disagree, it's a good, maybe even the best souls-like (not made by FromSoftware), but it's a 7,5/10 imo.

just say you are into femboys

I'll die on this hill Lies of P > Elden ring

I think lies of p is a great game. I won’t lie though I didn’t fall in love exactly like anyone else. Maybe I need to play through it again. But in comparison to sekiro, to me it falls extremely short. In terms of difficulty and replayability. Sekiro is my favorite game of all time though to be fair and I would play lies of P over Elden ring.

gaol is pronounced "jail". it's an old english spelling, thus Blackgaol = Blackjail.

“Lies of p is a decent game and here’s why” doesn’t mean “lies of p changed souls likes forever”

Can't wait for the DLC... Hopefully it comes out in 2025 🥲

The mechanics are so good mashing different ip's ideas, the bosses combat is hard and fair u don't have to fight against the camera and stagger status is visible not hidden like ds, the weapons are a joy. And the Best thing: it runs on unreal engine (5?) dunno why From stuck stubbornely with havok, the buildings and brick look like made From cardboard

I couldn’t understand how this game wasn’t up for GOTY. They were robbed. It is a much better game than Black Myth wukong in my opinion.

I'd say it's nearly "that bad" but maybe the scolding of the game.

Lies of P is probably my favorite souls game ever (as much as I hate to admit it considering it's not an actual FS title). It does everything nearly perfect. The only problem I initially had with it was that I did think it was a bit too difficult. Like, harder than all of From's games by a long shot difficult. However, I knew that it was going to be easy one day, just like all souls games aka once you do something enough times, you will learn it no matter what (which is actually the lesson that i'm referring to when I tell people that souls games changed my life). Also some patches helped. Other than that the game is just a straight up gem to me. I feel like it's been in my life for years and years and years. It boggles my mind knowing that only just recently did we hit the one year anniversary of it's release. Crazy shit, time flies. On a side note, I genuinely believe that the deflect hard tear wouldn't have been in SOTE if it wasn't for LOP. I can't say that for sure obviously, and of course FS pioneered, or at least made popular the concept of deflecting. But, taking deflecting from Sekiro and introducing it to a soulslike title side by side with dodge rolling is the brainchild of Neowiz, and I really think FS liked that. Wouldn't be surprised if that's the new standard going forward (having the option to deflect, or dodge in all soulsborne games made by FS). Anyway, $4 a pound.

Lies of P is so amazing I’ve played it 7 times The parry on ps5 is nearly as good as sex

Tried it. The world building is what turned me off. Secondly, soulslike that work for me have dont have defined characters.

Love LoP and this was a good video but...11:43 "No fights are gimmick ones" Let's call Door Guardian the exception that proves the rule then :)

That boss laxisia and Black rabbit was harder than anything in sekiro

South Korea and japanese is rocking with video games

I love the new game plus incentives like the upgrade tree and puppet language being understandable

I loved this game but I have a thing for vintage old timey settings lol Such a beautiful work of art u can feel the passion and care that went into it
