Laxasia was my favorite boss , since she was the first one who made me rethink my build . and the least has to be manus , just a big shit that spams aoe moves .
@@andrei-cezarbleaje5519 solid picks. I love Laxasia as well, she’s one of the couple I have the most trouble with still, but she’s quite a fun fight. Inversely, I actually really enjoy the Manus fight. My only gripe with him is that he is sort of weak health wise, so all of my playthrough I’ve beat him so fast that I don’t really get a chance to savor the fight. I haven’t fought him since they buffed him fairly recently, so maybe that’ll change now.
my favorite boss is the nameless puppet. First phase is easy if you can parry but 2nd phase really challenges your parries and reaction time. least favorite is probably the second black rabbit brotherhood fight. The status affects are god awful and the fact that the eldest return and can gank you with the last one is so annoying.
You at least put Fascination in your vid. That makes this vid an A+ already. I hate gank boss fights, so both Brotherhood fights are two of my least favorite. That said, however, the fights are manageable. Not hard to figure out what to do to break down. Now that I think of it, Simon Manus is the one I hate more.
They sold me the illusion of defending that hotel, because the NPCs are wonderful and some interactions feel very urgent (even though they're really not). Leaving the hotel feels like a mission and returning to it feels like home. I love it.
I still can’t believe that this randomly Korean studio who only worked on visual novels to come out with such a fun, beautiful, well designed, souls like, with such a good soundtrack. It’s like genuine mind blowing.
Best souls-like for me. I love the linear style. The combat. The weapons. The bosses. The aesthetics. Everything! It feels like a game made for me. Still playing it today for the 3rd time and already planning my next run.
is it just me or is this game getting more love all of a sudden? maybe its the elden ring dlc trailer but ive been hearing more people talk about it, deserved tbh
Elden ring was catered to young kids/ teens. It was incredibly easy, and it’s wildly considered to be the worst “souls” game. Terrible weapons that are just re skins, and nobody I repeat nobody ever asked for an open world souls game. Dark souls 3 is infinitely better then ER
@@MMikethehiker i mean to each there own, and its certainly not my favorite game personally or anything but its a little crazy to call Elden ring the worst souls game lmao, its functionally just a fantastically made game in general and probably one of the best of the decade? like that feels like hyperbole
One thing I liked about this game was how it told its story through cutscenes and not item descriptions it made me actually get attached to the characters. This is something I do not do when playing a regular souls game as the characters there I do not feel attached too
@@0hcyris I also liked how P started to develop a bit of a personality throughout the game and the seeing him cry in the rise of p ending was emotional
@@0hcyris thats kinda the point of souls lore, u are a no-name warrior thats walking through a post apocalypse that start literally eons before ur kind even existed. it isnt someone else's story, its literally the story of entire kingdoms spanning eons, theres a reason why souls lore channels have more views than well established lore series like fallout and elder scrolls, and it isnt just becuz of how hard it is to uncover the layers of mystery of elden souls lore. frankly lies of Ps story isnt good enough for me to get emotionally involved in, cutscenes doesnt intantly equal to "good" story telling.
@@flamingmanure you don't get it. What you feel about lies of P is exactly what I feel about the other soulsgames you like. I don't feel involved and they bore me. Low-key doesn't mean it's good. Your arguments against is exactly the same as I'm saying. I could easily say it's convoluted, and detached. You might be into that, but I'm not. That's okay. Grand lores doesn't necessarily mean "good".
Utilizing short cutscenes and emotionally in depth voice acting makes lies of P more immersive. It’s a mental illness to give a silent protagonist your own inner voice tbh lol.
@@CNRMRY_YT Which means the title of the game is a double entendre, Lies of Blood. Familial betrayal, the shear amount of bloodshed to gather all that ergo based on the lie of a "city of the future". It fits, and is quite smart. This peculiar kind of attention to detail always gives off the impression the developers are true fans of this subgenre, and enjoyed the process through and through. End result is a game with a lot of heart and soul.
I was blown away by how good this game was. Just beat nameless puppet last night and my jaw was on the floor on my entire experience with this game. So good
@@Tallerixoo Dude he kicked my ass for about three hours. I eventually looked up a boss guide and memorized how to block and dodge every move and finally got him. Such a good feeling once I got him.
I just got to the Arcade section right after the opera house. As a huge Bloodborne fan, Lies of P is almost literally a spiritual successor to Bloodborne. I'm surprised you didn't make more comparisons of the 2 but I appreciate your vid. Good coverage of an awesome and well done game.
Bloodborne has it's own video on my channel, I honestly have no interest in comparing them. They're both great games, and while LoP does in some ways feel like a spiritual successor, I think it would be a bad idea to tell people it's a lot like it. Especially considering how die-hard some FromSoft fans are.
I do absolutely love this game (enough to have decided to 100% it) but I'd argue there is very much a "That Part" in Lies of P with the cathedral in Chapter 4. That Carcass throwing slop at while I was tiptoeing along the beams caused me more grief than any boss ever did.
That's fine, to each their own. I understand why a lot of people don't like that level at all, but I do. I think its visually interesting and has a really sinister tone that is especially unique to the area, and I enjoy how vertical it is as well as it's various shortcuts. The closest thing to a "that part" for me would be the swamp, but on subsequent playthroughs I'm not really dreading it.
Lies of P is one of the most underrated games ever, amazing story, atmosphere, characters, combat and the game is simple unlike Lords of the Fallen where you can easly get lost and miss many details, i have only 4 hours and really love this game
I'll always have a soft spot for dark souls 3 as it was my first fromsoft game. Other than a couple of the Armored Core games on ps1 and ps2. But Lies of P was amazing and I couldn't put it down. My only mild criticism of it would be that I wish there were more hidden areas in the game. Similar to something like Cainhurst castle in Bloodborne. Nonetheless, I'll be more than happy to give them some money for whatever it is they do next.
I agree, it could've used some hefty side dungeons in there. While I enjoy the game's linearity, I also like the feeling of getting lost, something that I wish was around more in Lies of P. Hopefully, the DLC will be a bit more open. Even if it isn't, I'm sure it'll be great.
@@denverm7909 What bosses aren't finished? I don't understand what that even means. And yes, I've platinumed all the Souls games, including Elden Ring, Sekiro, and Bloodborne. Lies of P definitely stands up.
@@thrashhhhh Fromsoftware drones always come up with the same response lmao They can't fathom an objectively well made game with 10 times the less annoyance being better than the games they mindlessly eat up
I freaking love the hub of this game. Other than a place to upgrade and coalesce your NPCs, it's a resting place; a reminiscing place. Because it is where I just chill and listen to the amazing soundtrack (the vinyl records) which have a story themselves to tell
Yeah it was kind of a nightmare. I didn't record my first NG cause I wasn't planning on making a video on LoP, but then I loved it so much that I decided to. Most of the footage in this video was a second NG where I where I decided to use the heaviest weapons I could get my hands on, and that was the Frozen Feast of course lmao.
@@mobilemetal4554 this is late but for anyone in the future seeing this, I’d say they’re both equal in terms of damage output but dex builds have better weapon choices.
Can't stress enough how EVERYTHING about this game is FANTASTIC! You could tell a fan of Dark Souls this game was made by FromSoftware and they would believe it 100%, by that alone you could tell how great the game is, but my mind was really blown when you get to know every single reference in the lore from the original story of Pinocchio, it is AUSTONISHING how much they paid homage to the original work. I'm gonna repeat myself but everything about this game is incredible! I'm glad they sold over a million copies. I'm excited for the DLC and the next games this company will make. And as Palpatine once said: We will watch your career with great interest.
Im gonna say that Lies of P did something that Elden Ring lacks. Boss Fights are actually enjoyable. EDIT: I think the developers didn't consider the difficulty of Elden Ring carefully enough; it feels like they took shortcuts to make it challenging. Many bosses rely on repetitive, overly fast attacks that often leave little room for effective dodging. In contrast, other Souls-like games offer more manageable enemy behaviors and attack patterns that allow for strategic anticipation and response.
Lies of P is a top 3 souls style game for me. Dark Souls 1 for nostalgia, Bloodborne for being close to perfection and then Lies Of P absolutely blowing my mind. Story, vibes, combat… creative meanness in game design lol an absolute masterpiece and I agree it is under appreciated
It’s unfortunately a bit too difficult for some people I think. From talking to a lot of people about it, it seems like it often gets dropped well before the finish, which is really a shame. While the whole game is good, the last area (last like 3-4 bosses) really bring the whole experience together.
I think the title of this video more or less communicates exactly how I feel about this game. It's really sad how many people skipped this one because they assumed it'd just be another uninspired souls-like, and honestly, even I wasn't expecting much when I started playing, but I ended up falling deeply in love with it for its story, music, art direction and its surprisingly deep combat.
Lies of P quickly became like my favorite Souls like game ever and also just one of my favorites ever, despite how much I love and adore every Souls game. It's incredible to me that it could reach such heights and have INCREDIBLY few flaws. Good video! Glad I spotted it.
I adored this game from start to finish, I haven't felt so immersed in a games world since my first playthrough of BioShock. This is defiantly being slept on but I think it received enough of a cult following I'm sure we'll see more from this studio in the future
I have played it for over 300 hours, and I'm still playing it. I've beaten bosses without taking damage, in under a minute, and I've gotten all the acheviments. I think this is worth your time
What I love about LoP compared with FromSoft games is the amount of viable defensive options it provides. In LoP, parrying, blocking and dodging are all equaly viable options each with its pros and cons and with different grades of viability depending what attack are you trying to defend against. Parrying is harder, yes, but that gets countered by the fact you have other defensive options, If you miss the timing of the parry you can just keep pressing the button and block instead, which allows you to then gain the health back in your next attacks like in bloodborne. TLDR In all FromSoft games there is usually only ONE really "best" defensive tool (parrying for Sekiro and dodging for everthing else) and the other defensive options get overshadowed and outclassed, but this is not the case in Lies of P.
very good video, not spoiling too much and still able to deliver the grandiosity Lies of P deserves to be presented with, earned a well deserved sub my dude!
I played this on Xbox on Day 1 and loved it right away. I was wondering why no one was talking about this game and felt it's really under appreciated. Atleast now I'm happy to know that it is getting appreciation it deserves.
Love this video! It’s odd to me that you talk about Sekiro having more generous parry timing because I literally cannot get that timing down at all, meanwhile I have no issue with the timing in Lies of P - it just instantly made sense to me.
I believe there are literally more frames to parry in Sekiro, the difference is in the timing itself. I saw a visual model someone made on Reddit (I think) while I was working on this video, and it really helped me not only understand but actually get better at Sekiro. Whereas LoPs timing is a lot closer to when the attack lands, Sekiro’s is actually a few frames before the attack. If I can find it I’ll come back and link it.
Found it very fast, here you go. www.reddit.com/r/LiesOfP/s/9VqcabA26I It’s not exact, but it does help visualize what I meant a little better. Probably could’ve included in the video!
Lies of P is one of my all time favorite games, top 5 for sure. Amazing level design, characters have depth, combat is up there with From’s games. The perfect guard system is awesome and while it can be overwhelming and extremely difficult to get use to but once it clicks it’s such a satisfying mechanic. The story gets you interested and keeps that interest high throughout the entire play through. Cannot wait until the DLC drops second half of 2024.
Really loved Lies of P since it was announced. Absolutely loved the game and almost getting all trophies. Never understood why it was always underestimated but I'm happy now that there are more people preaching Lies of P. Great vid man!
Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time and when I heard people comparing this game to it I laughed but after playing it.......I understand. Lies of P is in my top 15 games of all time PERFECT
Lies of P was my first soulslike game!! I saw the announcement trailer years ago and was mildly curious so I only picked it up in March. It really clicked for me in the archbishop boss fight; I realised I had to learn the parry timings instead of getting by on dodges. As for favourite bosses they're all so good! The archbishop definitely but also Laxasia and the nameless puppet :)))
This games atmosphere and the way they adapted the story of pinocchio are so cool to me, i love the parrying mechanics and the way the levels arent hard to explore, the npcs feel alive and unique, and the records are beautiful, i cant wait for their next game
I am quite impressed by Lies of P just by giving it a short play after I was checking some other Souls-like not from From Soft and finding nothing genuinely good or not being a bad rip-off without the soul. Now lies of P is also taking ideas from a lot of different souls games, the BloodBorne aesthetics, the Shekiro style parry, some enemy placements that remind me more of DS1 personally. Takes a lot of good elements and combines them perfectly, and indeed let's you play in different ways, I didn't have to always parry like the very little time I tried Shekiro and couldn't get used to it. But it also ties it perfectly with it's own unique IP with the spin-off of Pinnochio story, with great work on the art and graphics design. They are taking and improving on elements from all Dark Souls and From Soft games, but they are doing it in a really good way. It doesn't feel like a bad mimicry like others non From-Soft souls-like I tried. It's great that this happened from a relatively unknown south korean company. I like to see that, I like to see others doing their own IPs with souls-like gameplay when they do it in a such a good way, even if I complain about everyone trying to mimicking badly the souls formula. I think I finished 3 bosses and then went back to finish some other games that are still on going (Blood Borne, DS3, Elden Ring,. really I still haven't finished any of them, but played countless times DS1/2) but it's definitely on my list of games deserving to finish.
I have no words for lies of P. I was on doubt before i downloaded it. When i started playing , i couldnt stop until i finished it. Playing as p really felt like im the main character, that i am special. The game lets me choose how the npc would feel. Those albums! Ugh dont even get me started with those albums. Absolute masterpiece.
I think some of the criticisms that are "sekiro is more generous than lies of p" is because some people may have come from sekiro as their first souls-like instead of from another fromsoftware games. like me. i haven't finished sekiro yet (one day), but i cannot dodge to save my life because of how hardly beaten it is in you to NOT DODGE. So learning how to dodge and getting use to the odd timing window of parrying (in terms of coming from sekiro) is really difficult, hence why I think a lot of people said it's too difficult. Just some food for thought.
Great game! Loved every second it. Such beautiful moments. I loved that it was always raining. Gave it a special feel. And the bosses were brutal and took me sometimes hours to beat.
I'm only halfway through this game, and the depth of it is what kills me. There's so much, there's just so much in every inch of this game that you have to take a breather and look. Sure, you can walk through the game and just fight stuff, but if you put even an ounce of emotional investment into this game, it will crush you. I do agree with you, good sir. We did not deserve this game.
Favorite boss, the king. By a long shot. As far as comparing to souls games, this is the first one to put me back in my place and actually take seriously. Yes, the other games are fun, and sure, the bosses and enemies curbstomp you. However, this is the first one to have so much deliberate detail on it that you have to sit down and comb through it. Rushing, even if you win, does not mean you succeed.
17:36 LIES!!! The Malun district was hell for me that place is build like a never ending Labyrinth it took me an hour to figure out where the hell where you supposed to go 💀
8:50 - I felt the same about that name until I learned about the reasoning behind it, and it sounds weird only to Americans. The South Korean team that made this was actually very clever in that P while eluding to Pinocchio and other P named characters, has a deeper meaning to the entire series when you look at the cultural background of the developer. The letter P is very similar visually to a Korean character used for "humanity" so when you look at it this way, the P organ is your Heart or metaphorically the thing that makes you human. Additionally it gives a greater insight to this games theme by reading the title as "The Lies of Humanity" as every story beat and arc is centered around the lies we tell as humans, and the reasons behind those lies being the source of what makes us human. Even the thing I was most unsure about in the game, it's title, hit me harder than I was expecting when I opened it up and looked around. Round 8 is a gem and we must protect them at all costs.
The King of Puppet was a pretty good example of how Lies of P is trying to communicate that not everything can be solved by perfect guarding or dodging. The first phase has incredibly telegraphed attacks, which encourages you to perfect block them, while dodging is kept at a minimum due to the bosses incredibly long sweeping attacks. However, following the second phase, a completely new moveset is brought, the attacks are more aggressive and the boss actively punishes overly defensive behavior by doing a pull attack. This ultimately encourages you to dodge most of the attacks in the second phase, and you realize that by dodging, you have a lot more windows to attack than if you had attempted to perfect dodge (and ultimately lose a portion of your health because of how insanely tight those block windows of the second phase can be).
Maybe getting to the 2nd to last boss at level 170 and still getting one shot by a combo over and over again. The door boss that does not take any damage or chapter 11 enemies taking little damage. I know GUT GUD since all the other Fromsoft games are easier. I know most people enjoyed the 4V1 fights all they need to do is have you not keep ergo when you die and have bosses refill health with each hit so it is hard enough for people. I know the fanboys also play with no-hit runs in all games. Don't say anything wrong with a game all games are perfect just like our government.
I despise parrying, and it’s pretty much unplayable if you can’t parry. That’s it really, same reason I never even bothered with Sekiro, when you design a game around one core mechanic, if a player struggles with that mechanic they won’t be able to enjoy anything else in the game.
Lies of p did something incredible that most people don't talk about and its really sad. Merging the gaurd/block mechanic (similar to sekiro's deflect) into a souls genre. Souls genre has generally been the same (never played bloodborne so...), the game always was about dodging rather than blocking. Sekiro introduced something that felt like you are really actually fighting the bosses (because of deflect mechanic), rather then souls game felt like you are defeating them using game mechanics. Lies of P, imo, took things one step further. It not only managed to merge a similar system from sekiro but also made it tighter that mixed surprisingly well into souls like combat. If you add block/ or deflect mechanic in a souls game, for example dark souls 3, the game suddenly would become very easy to beat. Because the animations of dark souls 3 bosses were made in mind that players can dodge them or block with shield, thus slower animation. Lies of p, upgraded this by having a tighter timing block system, which resulted in even harder movesets for bosses. Unlike sekiro, you can't spam the block button, where you think you can leave block button if your timing is off, and you pressed block too early, if you leave and press again, you will die in process because the animation for that is not like sekiro and is slow, in sekiro spamming generally did the job. Now if the boss animation were more slower, less brutal you could abuse the block mechanic and feel the game is easy. Round8 took things more further. Even if you understand the block mechanic, you still will be thrown off by enemy attacks and you will see that every enemy is hard, because lies of p was designed by keeping in mind the block mechanic. Even if you master it, you still will feel difficulty spikes. So for that reason, they made bosses with faster movesets to counter block mechanic and push you to limit to use it. Dodging is also possible tho, but its much harder in later game. Devs idea for this game, I think, was to upgrade souls formula in sense that introducing something into souls combat that not only made it harder to master but also introduced bosses having movesets for that. So you block or have a 'parry system' (people like to call it) which is more harder then sekiro's and you have bosses, which are souls like, abusing it. So your only option is too get good. Thus alot of bosses, especially in late game test that mastery of the mechanic you have. This is where it gets controversial, lies of p after patch 1.3 changed that. First you used to struggle in almost every fight because of faster animations, but now only real challenge are handful of bosses. If you don't believe me you can watch a comparison video and play the demo for the difference. In patch 1.3, having slower animations and giving a bit more forgiveness over not perfect blocking (increasing the timing for it) changed the philosophy design for this game. I thought patch 1.2 was enough, because it already tried to change it but 1.3 was overkill.
It's still insane to me how since the game has came out, i still can't stop thinking about it. I recently played Elden Ring and loved it, i think is a fantastic game and had so much fun... And still, i can't stop thinking about Lies of P.
13:00 listened to this part without looking at the screen at first but i intuitively knew ds2 popped up here. Love ALL the souls games but lies of p is probably my second fav after elden ring. Cool vid!
This was the first Soulslike game I've ever had interest in playing, I've tried Demon Souls and Dark Souls but this is the one that I've actually wanted to complete. Actual Masterpiece. Also, favourite boss? Romeo, the King of Puppets. Especially during the second playthrough where we finally hear everything the Puppet5s are saying, heartbreaking in the best way.
I love the video so much, i started playing LoP sometime last week or 2, so the timing is great. I LOVE THE TURNTABLE. This is kinda like a better version of the Bloodborne video. it's great.
Lies of P is a beautiful game! It is challenging in a good way and gives a lot of space for creativity! As a Souls-Veteran, who has performed multiple challenge runs across all Fromsoft titles so far I can definitely recommend it! 🔥 Awesome video btw! I agree, this piece of art is sadly but surely underrated. It deserves more attention! ❤️
Favourite boss fight was Walker of Illusions, a beautiful parry dance that was so rewarding when you won, also loved the nameless puppet another great fight. for whatever reason, I had the most problems with the puppet king but nothing too off putting. What a game, probably the best unknown game I've played. The start was very clunky but as the game opened up so did the combat options. I cant wait to see what they do next. Instant purchase from me.
it was the first boss i took down without a specter because that was not allowed. i rarely learned how to manage a boss fight in many souls and souls-like games because i got myself online support. here it wasnt possible but i wanted to continue the game. yes, it was really a nice fight and i am proud that i sticked to it. i dream of playing Sekiro one time but I dont know if I will have the nerve.
Lies of P "that section" for me was the walker of illusion fight. I could not seem to get through it (even though i beat both simon and laxasia first try) Ended up just throwing a ton of consumables at her from the ladder
I never in my life played a new modern game and then went back to play the developers older titles. I played most games when they were in their prime. I finshed Elden Ring this year and immediately bought DS3 and finished that too. I am now a full soulsborne fan and bought Lies of P yesterday. Very good game
I still haven't fully mastered the perfect block, but I still managed to complete the game four times. For all of its difficulty, it does give you additional tools to help get through the tougher parts of the game. And I agree, playing a Soulslike with a linear design is a breath of fresh air after playing something as huge as Elden Ring. As far as I'm concerned, Lies of P deserved more love, as the game itself is clearly made with alot of heart put into it. Neowiz made a game that matches a Soulsborne game and, as far as I'm concerned, is better than many AAA games out there now.
Very True! I was like trying this game half heartedly just to check it out then it change when I got the first track record named "Feel" damn that eargasm. I started to love it and played 3 playthroughs.
One of the absolute greatest souls like games ever created that deserves to stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of sekiro and bloodborne. Incredibly underrated game that deserved way more love and attention than it got.
to backup your statement between the difference in sekiro parrying to lies of p parrying, the difference in parry window is massive btw, sekiro has a 30 frame parry window (about half a second reaction time) and to parry an attack in sekiro you would press the button to parry about half way through the animation of the enemies attack. In lies of p on the other hand, you have an 8 frame parry window (1/8 of a second reaction time) and you press the guard button basically as the enemies attack animation is ending, practically when they're just about to hit you. Yes both games have a parry but because sekiros whole game is based around parrying, the window of timing is much bigger compared to lies of p. Yes both games are hard to parry in regardless but that's the real difference in timing, a 22 frame difference
It's funny you mention this, I didn't show it in the video but I found a reddit post that visualized the difference (both window size and when its open) and ended up linking another commenter to it a couple months ago. In any case, thanks for the comment, means a lot.
Who was your favorite boss in Lies of P? Who was your least favorite? Thanks so much for watching!
Bonus: what records did I use in this video?
Laxasia was my favorite boss , since she was the first one who made me rethink my build . and the least has to be manus , just a big shit that spams aoe moves .
@@andrei-cezarbleaje5519 solid picks. I love Laxasia as well, she’s one of the couple I have the most trouble with still, but she’s quite a fun fight. Inversely, I actually really enjoy the Manus fight. My only gripe with him is that he is sort of weak health wise, so all of my playthrough I’ve beat him so fast that I don’t really get a chance to savor the fight. I haven’t fought him since they buffed him fairly recently, so maybe that’ll change now.
geez man,i beat him for half an hour.but it only took me ten minutes to defeat Simon.She’s a respectable boss.
my favorite boss is the nameless puppet. First phase is easy if you can parry but 2nd phase really challenges your parries and reaction time. least favorite is probably the second black rabbit brotherhood fight. The status affects are god awful and the fact that the eldest return and can gank you with the last one is so annoying.
You at least put Fascination in your vid. That makes this vid an A+ already.
I hate gank boss fights, so both Brotherhood fights are two of my least favorite. That said, however, the fights are manageable. Not hard to figure out what to do to break down.
Now that I think of it, Simon Manus is the one I hate more.
They sold me the illusion of defending that hotel, because the NPCs are wonderful and some interactions feel very urgent (even though they're really not). Leaving the hotel feels like a mission and returning to it feels like home. I love it.
THIS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL
I still can’t believe that this randomly Korean studio who only worked on visual novels to come out with such a fun, beautiful, well designed, souls like, with such a good soundtrack. It’s like genuine mind blowing.
Not to mention the story, which, while not super surprising, still hits hard
not to mention the closest games they have resembling this one are 2D, so they got everything right regarding 3D on their first try
@@mausebas that's so impressive. I hope their future games will be as amazing as lies of p.
Best souls-like for me. I love the linear style. The combat. The weapons. The bosses. The aesthetics. Everything! It feels like a game made for me. Still playing it today for the 3rd time and already planning my next run.
It's definitely special! Thanks for the comment :)
Lies of P and Sekiro are the two ill never tire of replaying. They're just so far above the other fromsoft games its not even funny
is it just me or is this game getting more love all of a sudden? maybe its the elden ring dlc trailer but ive been hearing more people talk about it, deserved tbh

@@CNRMRY_YT Which means the title of the game is a double entendre, Lies of Blood. Familial betrayal, the shear amount of bloodshed to gather all that ergo based on the lie of a "city of the future". It fits, and is quite smart.
This peculiar kind of attention to detail always gives off the impression the developers are true fans of this subgenre, and enjoyed the process through and through. End result is a game with a lot of heart and soul.
I was blown away by how good this game was. Just beat nameless puppet last night and my jaw was on the floor on my entire experience with this game. So good
Nameless puppet was the only boss I had to get a build from youtube for that dude was smoking me ngl 🤣😭

@@Tallerixoo Nameles Puppet or Laxasia r the 2 bosses that fuck everyone up.
I just got to the Arcade section right after the opera house. As a huge Bloodborne fan, Lies of P is almost literally a spiritual successor to Bloodborne. I'm surprised you didn't make more comparisons of the 2 but I appreciate your vid. Good coverage of an awesome and well done game.
Bloodborne has it's own video on my channel, I honestly have no interest in comparing them. They're both great games, and while LoP does in some ways feel like a spiritual successor, I think it would be a bad idea to tell people it's a lot like it. Especially considering how die-hard some FromSoft fans are.
Agreed. I love Bloodborne and LoP equally. LoP needs a sequel. It’s too good to be a one time game title.
Lies od P is getting DLC :) @@sema6008
I do absolutely love this game (enough to have decided to 100% it) but I'd argue there is very much a "That Part" in Lies of P with the cathedral in Chapter 4. That Carcass throwing slop at while I was tiptoeing along the beams caused me more grief than any boss ever did.
That's fine, to each their own. I understand why a lot of people don't like that level at all, but I do. I think its visually interesting and has a really sinister tone that is especially unique to the area, and I enjoy how vertical it is as well as it's various shortcuts. The closest thing to a "that part" for me would be the swamp, but on subsequent playthroughs I'm not really dreading it.
For me it is the upper part of the Abbey, where you encounter the big guys with canes and twirling mustaches... I just ran past everyone there
I kept telling myself "Nothing can be worse than Blighttown" so I pushed through while being tortured lmao
Oh that’s my favorite part!
I used upgraded puppet string in my second run and it felt significantly cooler. Although for me “that area” would be the tower. It felt way too long.
Lies of P is one of the most underrated games ever, amazing story, atmosphere, characters, combat and the game is simple unlike Lords of the Fallen where you can easly get lost and miss many details, i have only 4 hours and really love this game
I hope you don't do like me get to last required boss and give up at level 170

I'll always have a soft spot for dark souls 3 as it was my first fromsoft game. Other than a couple of the Armored Core games on ps1 and ps2. But Lies of P was amazing and I couldn't put it down. My only mild criticism of it would be that I wish there were more hidden areas in the game. Similar to something like Cainhurst castle in Bloodborne. Nonetheless, I'll be more than happy to give them some money for whatever it is they do next.
Also, co-op of sorts would have been nice.
I agree, it could've used some hefty side dungeons in there. While I enjoy the game's linearity, I also like the feeling of getting lost, something that I wish was around more in Lies of P. Hopefully, the DLC will be a bit more open. Even if it isn't, I'm sure it'll be great.

Can't stress enough how EVERYTHING about this game is FANTASTIC! You could tell a fan of Dark Souls this game was made by FromSoftware and they would believe it 100%, by that alone you could tell how great the game is, but my mind was really blown when you get to know every single reference in the lore from the original story of Pinocchio, it is AUSTONISHING how much they paid homage to the original work.
I'm gonna repeat myself but everything about this game is incredible! I'm glad they sold over a million copies. I'm excited for the DLC and the next games this company will make. And as Palpatine once said: We will watch your career with great interest.
This game was overshadowed in 2023. It deserved recognition
This gave me the Rise of P ending.
i would say that lies of p is far better than any other soulslike ive played, so much content, amazing levels, and everything in between.
Im gonna say that Lies of P did something that Elden Ring lacks. Boss Fights are actually enjoyable.
EDIT: I think the developers didn't consider the difficulty of Elden Ring carefully enough; it feels like they took shortcuts to make it challenging. Many bosses rely on repetitive, overly fast attacks that often leave little room for effective dodging. In contrast, other Souls-like games offer more manageable enemy behaviors and attack patterns that allow for strategic anticipation and response.
Shhhhhhh. They might hear you.
Some are definitely more distinct and memorable.
Bruh, why do you say they aren’t enjoyable?

And best thing that you can do this even before the white glow just by predicting that enemy will be stunned this very moment or just by simple luck.
Or use big ball throw
TRUE words , UNDERAPPRICIATED.. one of the best soulslike and one of the best storytelling in games out there...
Its crazy how a studio in korea went from making nothing to casually creating the best souls like game ever made. Congrats to them
Lies of P is a top 3 souls style game for me. Dark Souls 1 for nostalgia, Bloodborne for being close to perfection and then Lies Of P absolutely blowing my mind. Story, vibes, combat… creative meanness in game design lol an absolute masterpiece and I agree it is under appreciated
That opening sequence with the french song and ambience gave me MAJOR Bioshock flashbacks
My GoTY for 2023. Excellent work raising awareness for it my man. Solid video!
I loved it so much I have finished through ng+3. It's just a great game in general. The story, music, combat, all so much fun
Simply one fo the best games I played that year. Sad to see alot of TH-camrs or streamers write it off because they couldn't appreciate it.
It’s unfortunately a bit too difficult for some people I think. From talking to a lot of people about it, it seems like it often gets dropped well before the finish, which is really a shame. While the whole game is good, the last area (last like 3-4 bosses) really bring the whole experience together.
@@CNRMRY_YT difficult ? Nice joke console peasant
Man I've never seen this rich quality and informative video in a while.
the artistry and the amount of scenes that have meaning without a single word spoken , is fucking astonishing.
I think the title of this video more or less communicates exactly how I feel about this game. It's really sad how many people skipped this one because they assumed it'd just be another uninspired souls-like, and honestly, even I wasn't expecting much when I started playing, but I ended up falling deeply in love with it for its story, music, art direction and its surprisingly deep combat.
I was absolutely blown away by the quality of LoP when it came out, seriously incredible game. cannot wait for the DLC!
Lies of P quickly became like my favorite Souls like game ever and also just one of my favorites ever, despite how much I love and adore every Souls game. It's incredible to me that it could reach such heights and have INCREDIBLY few flaws. Good video! Glad I spotted it.
I adored this game from start to finish, I haven't felt so immersed in a games world since my first playthrough of BioShock. This is defiantly being slept on but I think it received enough of a cult following I'm sure we'll see more from this studio in the future
I have played it for over 300 hours, and I'm still playing it. I've beaten bosses without taking damage, in under a minute, and I've gotten all the acheviments. I think this is worth your time
What I love about LoP compared with FromSoft games is the amount of viable defensive options it provides. In LoP, parrying, blocking and dodging are all equaly viable options each with its pros and cons and with different grades of viability depending what attack are you trying to defend against. Parrying is harder, yes, but that gets countered by the fact you have other defensive options, If you miss the timing of the parry you can just keep pressing the button and block instead, which allows you to then gain the health back in your next attacks like in bloodborne. TLDR In all FromSoft games there is usually only ONE really "best" defensive tool (parrying for Sekiro and dodging for everthing else) and the other defensive options get overshadowed and outclassed, but this is not the case in Lies of P.
I don't think LoP's parrying is as good as Sekiro's. The windows r way too tight imo which gets frustrating.
very good video, not spoiling too much and still able to deliver the grandiosity Lies of P deserves to be presented with, earned a well deserved sub my dude!
Lies of P beat out all From's mechanics, upped the beautiful soundtrack, NAILED the graphics, AND fixed the camera. Absolute GOAT game
no, the dodge and parry suck and still have camera issues
I played this on Xbox on Day 1 and loved it right away. I was wondering why no one was talking about this game and felt it's really under appreciated. Atleast now I'm happy to know that it is getting appreciation it deserves.
lies of p is truly peak
Absolute masterpiece. I only got this now, a year after release and I’m so mad I didn’t get this before
I love from soft games but this game is my favourite so far, thanks for showing how great it is!
Nioh 1&2, a crabs treasure and lies of p are my favorite soulslikes
Didn't play the first one but I absolutely LOVE Nioh 2
Mario Odyssey is my favorite souls like
Just bought it on steam sale and I'm already lvl 50 having way too much fun. The graphics, combat systems, and story are incredible.
The only thing this game did was make me appreciate Sekiro and FromSoft games more.
Love this video! It’s odd to me that you talk about Sekiro having more generous parry timing because I literally cannot get that timing down at all, meanwhile I have no issue with the timing in Lies of P - it just instantly made sense to me.
I believe there are literally more frames to parry in Sekiro, the difference is in the timing itself. I saw a visual model someone made on Reddit (I think) while I was working on this video, and it really helped me not only understand but actually get better at Sekiro. Whereas LoPs timing is a lot closer to when the attack lands, Sekiro’s is actually a few frames before the attack. If I can find it I’ll come back and link it.
Found it very fast, here you go.
www.reddit.com/r/LiesOfP/s/9VqcabA26I
It’s not exact, but it does help visualize what I meant a little better. Probably could’ve included in the video!
Lies of P is one of my all time favorite games, top 5 for sure. Amazing level design, characters have depth, combat is up there with From’s games. The perfect guard system is awesome and while it can be overwhelming and extremely difficult to get use to but once it clicks it’s such a satisfying mechanic. The story gets you interested and keeps that interest high throughout the entire play through. Cannot wait until the DLC drops second half of 2024.
Really loved Lies of P since it was announced. Absolutely loved the game and almost getting all trophies. Never understood why it was always underestimated but I'm happy now that there are more people preaching Lies of P. Great vid man!
I LOVE THE ART DIRECTION OF THIS GAME SO MUCH 😭😭 CAN'T WAIT TO GET THE ART BOOK AAA
@1:25 For some reason, it feels like I'm the only one who found the after credit scene, mind-blowing.. never hear anyone talk about it
Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time and when I heard people comparing this game to it I laughed but after playing it.......I understand. Lies of P is in my top 15 games of all time PERFECT
Bro how has this video now blown up dude the editing and the music is so good bro you’ve done an amazing job with this video congrats man
Lies of P was my first soulslike game!! I saw the announcement trailer years ago and was mildly curious so I only picked it up in March. It really clicked for me in the archbishop boss fight; I realised I had to learn the parry timings instead of getting by on dodges. As for favourite bosses they're all so good! The archbishop definitely but also Laxasia and the nameless puppet :)))
This games atmosphere and the way they adapted the story of pinocchio are so cool to me, i love the parrying mechanics and the way the levels arent hard to explore, the npcs feel alive and unique, and the records are beautiful, i cant wait for their next game
This video is exceptionally well made.
Well thank you!
I am quite impressed by Lies of P just by giving it a short play after I was checking some other Souls-like not from From Soft and finding nothing genuinely good or not being a bad rip-off without the soul. Now lies of P is also taking ideas from a lot of different souls games, the BloodBorne aesthetics, the Shekiro style parry, some enemy placements that remind me more of DS1 personally. Takes a lot of good elements and combines them perfectly, and indeed let's you play in different ways, I didn't have to always parry like the very little time I tried Shekiro and couldn't get used to it. But it also ties it perfectly with it's own unique IP with the spin-off of Pinnochio story, with great work on the art and graphics design. They are taking and improving on elements from all Dark Souls and From Soft games, but they are doing it in a really good way. It doesn't feel like a bad mimicry like others non From-Soft souls-like I tried. It's great that this happened from a relatively unknown south korean company. I like to see that, I like to see others doing their own IPs with souls-like gameplay when they do it in a such a good way, even if I complain about everyone trying to mimicking badly the souls formula.
I think I finished 3 bosses and then went back to finish some other games that are still on going (Blood Borne, DS3, Elden Ring,. really I still haven't finished any of them, but played countless times DS1/2) but it's definitely on my list of games deserving to finish.
I have no words for lies of P. I was on doubt before i downloaded it. When i started playing , i couldnt stop until i finished it. Playing as p really felt like im the main character, that i am special. The game lets me choose how the npc would feel. Those albums! Ugh dont even get me started with those albums. Absolute masterpiece.
I think some of the criticisms that are "sekiro is more generous than lies of p" is because some people may have come from sekiro as their first souls-like instead of from another fromsoftware games.
like me.
i haven't finished sekiro yet (one day), but i cannot dodge to save my life because of how hardly beaten it is in you to NOT DODGE.
So learning how to dodge and getting use to the odd timing window of parrying (in terms of coming from sekiro) is really difficult, hence why I think a lot of people said it's too difficult.
Just some food for thought.
Great game! Loved every second it. Such beautiful moments. I loved that it was always raining. Gave it a special feel. And the bosses were brutal and took me sometimes hours to beat.
Lies of P was my intro to soulslike games, I'm currently playing Elden Ring but there's something magical about Lies of P
I'm only halfway through this game, and the depth of it is what kills me. There's so much, there's just so much in every inch of this game that you have to take a breather and look. Sure, you can walk through the game and just fight stuff, but if you put even an ounce of emotional investment into this game, it will crush you.
I do agree with you, good sir. We did not deserve this game.
Favorite boss, the king. By a long shot.
As far as comparing to souls games, this is the first one to put me back in my place and actually take seriously. Yes, the other games are fun, and sure, the bosses and enemies curbstomp you. However, this is the first one to have so much deliberate detail on it that you have to sit down and comb through it. Rushing, even if you win, does not mean you succeed.
17:36 LIES!!! The Malun district was hell for me that place is build like a never ending Labyrinth it took me an hour to figure out where the hell where you supposed to go 💀
that might just be you my boy, Malum district is a circle. But I can understand your pain as I got lost in Lorenzini Arcade a lot
8:50 - I felt the same about that name until I learned about the reasoning behind it, and it sounds weird only to Americans. The South Korean team that made this was actually very clever in that P while eluding to Pinocchio and other P named characters, has a deeper meaning to the entire series when you look at the cultural background of the developer. The letter P is very similar visually to a Korean character used for "humanity" so when you look at it this way, the P organ is your Heart or metaphorically the thing that makes you human. Additionally it gives a greater insight to this games theme by reading the title as "The Lies of Humanity" as every story beat and arc is centered around the lies we tell as humans, and the reasons behind those lies being the source of what makes us human.
Even the thing I was most unsure about in the game, it's title, hit me harder than I was expecting when I opened it up and looked around. Round 8 is a gem and we must protect them at all costs.
Love of the genre and the source material just oozes from this game. You can tell they had a vision, and stuck to it strictly.
The OST of this game on top of all the praise this game deserves just cannot be overstated. Some of the best music in this medium
i agree
Feel. ESPECIALLY FEEL. THAT OST MADE ME FEEL THINGS I DIDN’T KNOW I COULD FEEL
I have to admit, this game really grew on me, mechanically and story-wise. That studio really managed to crack the FromSoft formula.
The King of Puppet was a pretty good example of how Lies of P is trying to communicate that not everything can be solved by perfect guarding or dodging. The first phase has incredibly telegraphed attacks, which encourages you to perfect block them, while dodging is kept at a minimum due to the bosses incredibly long sweeping attacks. However, following the second phase, a completely new moveset is brought, the attacks are more aggressive and the boss actively punishes overly defensive behavior by doing a pull attack. This ultimately encourages you to dodge most of the attacks in the second phase, and you realize that by dodging, you have a lot more windows to attack than if you had attempted to perfect dodge (and ultimately lose a portion of your health because of how insanely tight those block windows of the second phase can be).
good point, i very often found myself not knowing wether i should dodge or block a boss
Great video! My favorite boss is Laxasia and my least favorite is either the Door Guardian or the second Black Rabbit Brotherhood fight.
It boggles my mind that people dislike this game for various reasons. (Mostly game play) this is so good.
Yup! Doesn't make a lot of sense.
because they are trash at it
A lot of people think its a trashy rip off of BB and that's OK because different people like different things. You fan boys are the worst
Maybe getting to the 2nd to last boss at level 170 and still getting one shot by a combo over and over again. The door boss that does not take any damage or chapter 11 enemies taking little damage. I know GUT GUD since all the other Fromsoft games are easier. I know most people enjoyed the 4V1 fights all they need to do is have you not keep ergo when you die and have bosses refill health with each hit so it is hard enough for people. I know the fanboys also play with no-hit runs in all games. Don't say anything wrong with a game all games are perfect just like our government.
I despise parrying, and it’s pretty much unplayable if you can’t parry. That’s it really, same reason I never even bothered with Sekiro, when you design a game around one core mechanic, if a player struggles with that mechanic they won’t be able to enjoy anything else in the game.
Lies of p did something incredible that most people don't talk about and its really sad. Merging the gaurd/block mechanic (similar to sekiro's deflect) into a souls genre. Souls genre has generally been the same (never played bloodborne so...), the game always was about dodging rather than blocking. Sekiro introduced something that felt like you are really actually fighting the bosses (because of deflect mechanic), rather then souls game felt like you are defeating them using game mechanics.
Lies of P, imo, took things one step further. It not only managed to merge a similar system from sekiro but also made it tighter that mixed surprisingly well into souls like combat. If you add block/ or deflect mechanic in a souls game, for example dark souls 3, the game suddenly would become very easy to beat. Because the animations of dark souls 3 bosses were made in mind that players can dodge them or block with shield, thus slower animation.
Lies of p, upgraded this by having a tighter timing block system, which resulted in even harder movesets for bosses. Unlike sekiro, you can't spam the block button, where you think you can leave block button if your timing is off, and you pressed block too early, if you leave and press again, you will die in process because the animation for that is not like sekiro and is slow, in sekiro spamming generally did the job.
Now if the boss animation were more slower, less brutal you could abuse the block mechanic and feel the game is easy. Round8 took things more further. Even if you understand the block mechanic, you still will be thrown off by enemy attacks and you will see that every enemy is hard, because lies of p was designed by keeping in mind the block mechanic. Even if you master it, you still will feel difficulty spikes.
So for that reason, they made bosses with faster movesets to counter block mechanic and push you to limit to use it. Dodging is also possible tho, but its much harder in later game. Devs idea for this game, I think, was to upgrade souls formula in sense that introducing something into souls combat that not only made it harder to master but also introduced bosses having movesets for that. So you block or have a 'parry system' (people like to call it) which is more harder then sekiro's and you have bosses, which are souls like, abusing it. So your only option is too get good. Thus alot of bosses, especially in late game test that mastery of the mechanic you have.
This is where it gets controversial, lies of p after patch 1.3 changed that. First you used to struggle in almost every fight because of faster animations, but now only real challenge are handful of bosses. If you don't believe me you can watch a comparison video and play the demo for the difference. In patch 1.3, having slower animations and giving a bit more forgiveness over not perfect blocking (increasing the timing for it) changed the philosophy design for this game. I thought patch 1.2 was enough, because it already tried to change it but 1.3 was overkill.
It's still insane to me how since the game has came out, i still can't stop thinking about it. I recently played Elden Ring and loved it, i think is a fantastic game and had so much fun... And still, i can't stop thinking about Lies of P.
64 hours later I'm glad we did👌💯.
13:00 listened to this part without looking at the screen at first but i intuitively knew ds2 popped up here. Love ALL the souls games but lies of p is probably my second fav after elden ring. Cool vid!
I'm watching this after finishing the game two times.
I love this game to dwath, but wish they'd focused more on making unique and bizarre puppet enemies
I expect they'll do something of the sort in DLC
I absolutely loved using the 🌂 Love this game!
Lies of P is really good and so is your video. Fantastic video.
Thier first try? Absolutely amazing bro. I been playing for almost a month haven't experienced not one crash or nothing i love the game
This was the first Soulslike game I've ever had interest in playing, I've tried Demon Souls and Dark Souls but this is the one that I've actually wanted to complete. Actual Masterpiece.
Also, favourite boss? Romeo, the King of Puppets. Especially during the second playthrough where we finally hear everything the Puppet5s are saying, heartbreaking in the best way.
Watching this video made me realize the Frozen Feast (8:30) looks a lot like the Moonlight Greatsword, it really IS in every game
I love the video so much, i started playing LoP sometime last week or 2, so the timing is great. I LOVE THE TURNTABLE. This is kinda like a better version of the Bloodborne video. it's great.
Thanks Nicholas 😉
Lies of P is a beautiful game! It is challenging in a good way and gives a lot of space for creativity! As a Souls-Veteran, who has performed multiple challenge runs across all Fromsoft titles so far I can definitely recommend it! 🔥
Awesome video btw! I agree, this piece of art is sadly but surely underrated. It deserves more attention! ❤️
Favourite boss fight was Walker of Illusions, a beautiful parry dance that was so rewarding when you won, also loved the nameless puppet another great fight. for whatever reason, I had the most problems with the puppet king but nothing too off putting. What a game, probably the best unknown game I've played. The start was very clunky but as the game opened up so did the combat options. I cant wait to see what they do next. Instant purchase from me.
I didn’t love walker my first time through, but on subsequent playthroughs I ended up really liking her.
it was the first boss i took down without a specter because that was not allowed. i rarely learned how to manage a boss fight in many souls and souls-like games because i got myself online support. here it wasnt possible but i wanted to continue the game. yes, it was really a nice fight and i am proud that i sticked to it. i dream of playing Sekiro one time but I dont know if I will have the nerve.
As a professional animator, yeah I can confirm, Lies of P is top notch, almost everything is really well polished!
The music in this game alone makes it better than a lot of games I’ve played
Absolutely under appreciated
Lies of P "that section" for me was the walker of illusion fight. I could not seem to get through it (even though i beat both simon and laxasia first try) Ended up just throwing a ton of consumables at her from the ladder
This game is amazing. It deserves more recognition. I cant wait for a DLC or sequel announcement.
I never in my life played a new modern game and then went back to play the developers older titles. I played most games when they were in their prime. I finshed Elden Ring this year and immediately bought DS3 and finished that too. I am now a full soulsborne fan and bought Lies of P yesterday. Very good game
I still haven't fully mastered the perfect block, but I still managed to complete the game four times. For all of its difficulty, it does give you additional tools to help get through the tougher parts of the game. And I agree, playing a Soulslike with a linear design is a breath of fresh air after playing something as huge as Elden Ring.
As far as I'm concerned, Lies of P deserved more love, as the game itself is clearly made with alot of heart put into it. Neowiz made a game that matches a Soulsborne game and, as far as I'm concerned, is better than many AAA games out there now.
Agree with everything you said, I cold have written this haha😂
Very True! I was like trying this game half heartedly just to check it out then it change when I got the first track record named "Feel" damn that eargasm. I started to love it and played 3 playthroughs.
Feel is my favorite song from the game too. It's just sooo good!
One of the absolute greatest souls like games ever created that deserves to stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of sekiro and bloodborne. Incredibly underrated game that deserved way more love and attention than it got.
Finally got round to playing this, finished it a few nights ago. Excellent game. So glad i gave it a go.
to backup your statement between the difference in sekiro parrying to lies of p parrying, the difference in parry window is massive btw, sekiro has a 30 frame parry window (about half a second reaction time) and to parry an attack in sekiro you would press the button to parry about half way through the animation of the enemies attack.
In lies of p on the other hand, you have an 8 frame parry window (1/8 of a second reaction time) and you press the guard button basically as the enemies attack animation is ending, practically when they're just about to hit you.
Yes both games have a parry but because sekiros whole game is based around parrying, the window of timing is much bigger compared to lies of p. Yes both games are hard to parry in regardless but that's the real difference in timing, a 22 frame difference
It's funny you mention this, I didn't show it in the video but I found a reddit post that visualized the difference (both window size and when its open) and ended up linking another commenter to it a couple months ago. In any case, thanks for the comment, means a lot.
Lies of P bosses >>>>>>> Elden Ring bosses
