Lies of P Review - Mimicry at its Finest

  • Thanks to Neowiz for a review copy of Lies of P!
    You wake up at an abandoned train station in Krat, a city overwhelmed by madness and bloodlust. In front of you lies a single note that reads:
    "Find Mr. Geppetto. He's here in the city."
    Play as Pinocchio, a puppet mechanoid, and fight through everything in your path to find this mystery person. But don't expect any help along the way and don't make the mistake of trusting anyone.
    You must always lie to others if you hope to become human.
    Inspired by the familiar story of Pinocchio, Lies of P is an action souls-like game set in a cruel, dark Belle Époque world. All of humanity is lost in a once beautiful city that has now become a living hell filled with unspeakable horrors. Lies of P offers an elegant world filled with tension, a deep combat system and a gripping story. Guide Pinocchio and experience his unrelenting journey to become human.
    The timeless tale of Pinocchio has been reimagined with dark and striking visuals.Set in the fallen city of Krat, Pinnochio desperately fights to become human against all odds.
    The city of Krat was insipired by the Belle Époque Era in Europe (late 19th Century to the early 20th Century) and is the epitome of a collapsed city bereft of prosperity.
    Experience interconnected procedural quests that play out depending on how you lie. These choices will then affect how the story ends.
    You can combine weapons in a multitude of ways to create something new altogether. Research to find the best combinations and make something truly special.
    With Pinocchio being a doll, you can change parts of his body to gain new skills and hopefully an edge in battle. But not all of the enhancements are for fighting though, they can also provide several other unique and useful features.

      There were some game journalists who spoiled NPC story arc. Talking about game mechanic isn’t spoiler, imo. CB was very clear when something was subjective and his personal opinion. I don’t always agree with him, but I do respect what he has to say a lot.

    I was hunting and pecking for a good review for this game, and many were all boring me half to death, then I finally found you. This was a perfectly paced review. There is something special about someone exploring the world while also explaining aspects, such as fighting techniques, mechanics, showing off a few weapons, and other general tips, all while in-game, and just made more sense to me. Also, many reviewers just throw b-roll footage all over the place, while also trying to be witty, which ends up complicating the entire review. You're calm and collected, that makes things clear and easy to digest, without feeling too overwhelming, that at many times causes me to skip games. I especially like how you start your review at the beginning of the game, showing us exactly what we are about to experience. The image quality captured here at 2160p is excellent, and for whatever reason, many reviewers are still stuck to the 1080p formula, that doesn't show off a games true color. Maybe it's partly due to you basically holding my hand throughout the entirety of Demon's Souls and Elden Ring as well, which were a ton of fun, and really appreciated your help for those games. Just a fantastic review! I'm firing this game up now, and I suspect I may need some help from title as well. I'll probably poke my head in from time to time for some help. lol. Thanks FightinCowboy! Cheers! 🍻

Not a good or a bad thing, just depends on the amount of energy you want to put into the game. As a completionist I like both kinds, huge games just get a bit more overwhelming.

Every point you spoke on about the game was hit spotlessly and relatable as well based on my experience. Something about using a Big Pipe Wrench Head while using a Greatsword handle smashing heads in (more like me getting slammed) while getting drenched in weird puppet, infected gooey oily, ??blood?? made my heart happy.

Or landing at a boss fight unwillingly 😅 its priceless as feeling .

    Nice review. As someone who’s used FC’s guides through Souls games, I think I will actually like the more linear level design. Completely understand most people wanted to get lost (literally + figuratively) in the game, but I don’t have a ton of gaming time anymore and it just makes things more stressful.
    Only problem now is that there are a ton of games on my wish list right now. Spider-Man and UFC 5 are must buys for me in Oct. I just finished Death’s Door so I have some time, but idk if I wanna get fully lost in a game until then. Baldur’s Gate, this, LOTF…all games that I feel I’ll take too long to finish

    Excellent, detailed, thoughtful review! Here's hoping they address some of these concerns - perfect guard and something to manage reasonable poise to validate strength builds seem like they'd be reasonable additions for a patch. Fingers crossed for some love on the special weapon Advance scaling - it almost seems like that was an intentional decision to empower non-special weapons, strange stuff.

    The genius of Sekiro is that in there being only one character with one weapon the rhythmic aspects of combat just work really well and are perfectly balanced. Fromsoft’s games overall know what they are and what they are not. This game, on the other hand, seems to suffer the fate of many a pastiche, wherein by patching together various mechanics in an effort to ‘out do’ its inspirations problems in the gameplay arise and not all builds are viable. Seems forgivable from a new studio, but is a predictable issue.

      The thing I really don’t like is the red attacks. Not the aspect that you can only perfect parry and can’t just block or roll through them, but the fact that it is a super video gamey thing in an otherwise pretty atmospheric game. A lot of the attacks are long wind ups anyway so I understand they needed to indicate the difference but I just don’t love how the indication is the enemy turns totally red for no reason.

    Good thing is, updates can always fix the s, adding hyper armor, perfect block timeframes etc. I’m loving this game so far. Lies of P is the Neosporin to my Soulsborne itch.
    Also can’t wait for Lords of the Fallen (2023) another soulslike.

    I appreciate developers that have a strong vision for their game re: difficulty, but I hope that "accessibility" options that let the user control timing windows for blocks become the norm in the future.

    Perfect guards seemed a bit inconsistent to me, definitely agree on the identity confusion point. There's also the thing where alot of your attacks require too much commitment, In Sekiro, you are able to go into block or attempt parries relatively quickly after doing an attack but that's not how it is here.

  • @draco2xx

    i respect fighting cowboy opinion, he never lead us wrong but lies of p maybe very linear isnt such a bad thing which is also understandable but if you look at god of war, its also very linear and gotten high praise how good it is. so lies of p being very linear shouldnt be a big deal but i do wish it had different paths you could've explored like in bloodborne fearing the unknown what's out there since its a souls like game after all

    Thanks for the review, always good stuff. I am a big fan of Sekiro and Japanese themed games, but I think that's a pretty good soulslike too.

Jeez, so many good games and not much time to play them

    Dude theres p organ upgrades towards a tank build, one reduce dmg while you use a charged attack or an art or reduce your guard lost. For heavy weapon you should go for motricity and capacity and advance or technique if you have elemental dmg, the game stas matter and how you build matter a lot, you can directly upgrade a weapon scaling by modifyng the handle without having to put a point in lets say advance or technique to increase elemental dmg, there are quite a few cubes that are quite strong, for me thats a great system that lets you play however you want.

    The poise/stagger (or extreme lack thereof) is horrendous. You can be staggered into oblivion but rarely do it to enemies...and like you said one hit completely negates AND depletes your fable attacks. Because of that, heavier weapons slower R2 attacks pretty much become useless. And I completely agree, the perfect block system needs some work. ESPECIALLY on some of the bosses that jump around the screen making it near impossible to time. Good game but needs some adjustments for sure. Also, the backstab window is TOO DAMN SMALL.

    @SMNtheNight 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Thanks for this review. I've been on the fence about getting it, as I played the demo and what immediately stood out to me and had me worried was the back-and-forth exchange you have with tougher/bigger enemies. I noticed that I couldn't really find solid opportunities between enemy attacks to get in with mid and slower speed weapons without getting punished. Like you said, poise and hyper armor is kind of a solution for this issue but this game doesn't seem to have anything like it.

    • @tommyllama4558
      @tommyllama4558 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      some weapon handles will do fate attacks that have hyper armour, but yeah, it needs an actual poise/hyper, thankfully these things can be added in patches, perhaps a design oversight? this is the studios second game ever

  • @supapaw

    I've been quite obsessed about this game for weeks now (I'm just working on platinum on my ng+ playthrough).
    I just love the combat, it feels like sekiro + bloodborne, only way less punishing. The atmosphere and setting are also just brilliant, it's just so refreshing yet familiar. I agree that levels and progression are just too linear, I would have loved branching paths and hidden bosses. As far as I can remember the only optional boss is Mad Clown Puppet.
    As for legion arms? Never used them or even felt the need to.

    Hopefully they will tweak the block timing for perfect block (guard) over the next month or so to make the timing more lenient. It is a single-player game, so there is less of a need to jump in at launch and I could see the play experience improving if the developers are listening to the player base, including streamers.

    A big problem with the game is that a lot of essential mechanics and combat styles that you normally would have in general for any souls like, is locked behind a skill tree. i.e roll dodge when grounded, increase "estus flasks," the ability to dodge or block the red attacks. Still fun though, can't wait for Wizard of OZ sequel
