This year is insane with games. So many amazing games!! 👏
It’s absolutely nuts how great this year has been for releases.
Even better having game pass,all these games available on day 1 release
Yap 🥳
Overrated
It'd be epic if they brought back the _Alice_ series via a soulsborne style game.
That’d be neat
I’ve been wanting this for a while now:) hopefully they can pull it off
lol, i thought the exact same thing. The Looking Glass Wars and Hatter M would be ideal for this style
Game is unique in its own right even though it wears its Souls label proudly.
You're saying as if it's a bad thing.
@@mohammadjavadyeganeh5292How bad is your reading comprehension? Lmao
Mans said “Unique”
It’s French Bloodborne, relax
9.5/10
Perfect review .
Glad you liked it
@@gameinformer Hey Game Informer But It's Today Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Game Informer Next Week?
I love this game. My only nitpick at the moment is the hud. I don't know the proper name for it when the HUD only appears during item/weapon changes or combat. Would love to explore this beautiful world without the hud on 100% of the time. Please 🙏 make it happen.
The beta was so smooth on PC looking forward to getting this one😊
Imagine showing a trailer for a game then releasing it completed the next year. Wild
I might be missing the point of this comment but Lies of P was revealed in May of 2021
Yea! It seems like only indie developers (and of course Sony titles and exclusives and Nintendo 1st party titles) can do it.
Exactly. Unlike the monkey one (Wu Long or whatever) that taking 20 years to release.
@@davidtsmith33 It was revealed in 2020 and its reveal was explicit in that it was a proof of concept for recruitment purposes, Lies of P was revealed in 2021. Im so confused by this thread
You might think they gave it a high score initially. But for the company's first souls game, it absolutely deserves the praise. The demo was awesome!
Your review has sold me on the game. Great video
I know it’s semantics but Neowiz didn’t make Lies of P, Round 8 studio did. Neowiz is the publisher like how Bandai Namco is for From software
This review is something I can agree with, compared to those of IGN, Gamespot, and the worst VG247 (4 out of 10, not even 5,6,7)
Ain't NO WAY they actually gave it a 4 outta 10?!🤔🤦🏿♂️
IGN gave it an 8, you numpty. Nice try circlejerking.
IGN le dio un 8!!!
🤔🫡
*Lies of P is a very good game that is similar to Bloodborne and Souls games.Also Lies of P is similar to SteelRising video game.Lies of P keeps on getting 8 out of 10 from most reviewers on TH-cam and even sometimes 9 out of 10 from some reviewers on TH-cam.*
9.5? im still not convinced, i gotta play it to see for myself
Reviews aren't meant to convince anyone of anything, they are a conclusive opinion based on an individuals experience with a piece of media.
Want to play this game but spent 3 hours trying to beat the boss on the demo and had to walk away 😫
I usually pass on these types of games as I stink. Lynels in Zelda are too tough for me. but this game looks so good, I may try it
For those who didn't play the demo: The deflection works like Sekiro's, it doesn't disbalance the enemy for a riposte like in BB.
Standard block: recoverable hp loss (easy but costly)
Perfect guard: no hp loss and build enemy's nonvisible stagger meter. eg. When the Watchman boss does a chain attack, chain deflections are needed.
This is the core part of the game and everything else is built around it. The nerfed roll during lock on is to encourage deflection/
Perfect guard counters can break their weapon significantly reducing damage output
it doesn't work like sekrio at all you bum, it's closer to dark souls parry if it had a delayed start if anything
Fugggin sold💯🫡
Dude you are commenting on every review of this game so far like do you work for the devs or just doing it because you like this game so much
Does it include the bit from the book where Pinocchio kills Jiminy Cricket with a hammer?
Subbed & Liked! Enjoyed the video! Good work!
My prediction: this will outsell armored core 6
Really surprised to see all the positive reviews. Did they improve a lot since the demo? Because I thought the combat in the demo was pretty awful. Just bland and a bit clunky. The rest was all pretty cool, though.
It’s probably the same
People just tend to be a bit more forgiving with soulslikes especially the ones with big ambitions
Someone called this game “Pinocchio: Puppets Lie Twice” and I laughed harder than I care to admit
Good review! Subbed.
Remnant II, Armored Core VI, Lies of P, Lords of the fallen
This year on 🔥🔥🔥
Starfield
Lies of P
payday
Forza Motorsport
Spider man
Mortal kombat
Ufc
I can’t remember the rest but 4th quarter is gonna be great.We need a boxing game though 😂
Is anyone else having an issue on ps5 it’s putting my tvs in 1080p and looks awful. It’s supposed to be in 2160 performance upscaled and even in quality it stays at 1080p. Wtf is going on I don’t want to waste it in this format. I tried switching my tv back to 4K but that crashes the game. What is going on here
A great soulslike, and no I’m not being Mendacious
Ждём эту игру и верим в её разработчиков🌚👍
Theres no way a copycat game with hardly any original ideas got a 9.5 out of 10. That's absurd. It doesn't look like a bad game to me but it's an insult to fromsoftware to put this game on the same tier as Dark Souls.
I've never played Soul's like games. Is this game hard, guys? I really wanna try it out, but I don't want to buy a game where I can't defeat a first single enemy 😮
Seems a bit high for a Souls clone.
Yah, all these early reviews are bought and paid for
Try the game
@@DRK-zr5qe I'll probably end up buying it regardless.
It might have a great story, just cuz the play style is like souls doesn't mean it's a bad game that's just a stupid comment I keep seeing
@@axton5762 Gameplay is a LOT more important than story and I've heard from multiple sources that there are elements of the combat that are wonky, and not as good as the Dark Souls games. So, forgive me for being skeptical and not being a fanboy. Giving a rating of 9 for ANY game is pretty high and there better be a good reason for it.

Love you GI :)

Lies of p is my GotY
It's using Unreal Engine 4 and we all know how that engine performs on PC. I can hardly wait for Digital Foundry and Alex to review it. I'm pretty sure there will be stuttering.😠
What are you on about
@@dawa8151 There is a lot of stutter in UE4 games on PC, it's a known issue.
Played the demo on my ROG Ally. Ran smooth.
@@Robwabo well hopefully it's the same on a desktop PC
Okayyy, but is there a gun in the game??? That the age of gun
you say funny but pinocchio isn't really all that funny. the disney version is but the actual original story is pretty dark and eerie which is probably what they pulled from more
I would love to approach me from last year and tell myself that your game of 2023 is going to be soulsborne game based off Pinocchio.
Holy shit, how much did this publisher pay all for all these early review high score shills, this game is 100% MIDDLE. Do not trusta single one of these early reviews
Imfested with denuvo
its trying to be different but in reality i see it as a fromsoftware clone with ponokio skin on it not hating on the game but from what ive played from the demo the combat is unbalanced and the dodging just doesnt work i would have been fine with an 8 but anything above seems sus tbh
Has it occurred to you they may have improved the game since the demo?
GOTY
Whoa game informer is still a thing
We’re alive and well! Magazine and everything.
@@gameinformer❤
What is this, a memory game ? The bosses are just elaborate QTEs which you have to memorise. Other enemies always appear in the same places for you to also memorise. What a joke ! And the parry/riposte window is ridiculous. Your build makes only a small difference to your combat success. All your time spent developing your character with weapon load-outs, buffs and trinkets is gameplay filler. I've seen all types of combat on TH-cam from players using different builds and nobody is OP. The game is linear and totally scripted with player options just a ruse. Just watch how the post-stagger big combo has to be performed standing in a particular red circle. WTF ?! They should have had difficulty settings like so many other games. At least the
Awesome looking game...but what a goofy game title.
It's fitting because of what Pinocchio stands for.
It's clunky, yeah, but l, like... what else would you call it? Pinocchio: Puppets Lie Twice?
Besides, in an industry where we have nonsensical titles like Various Daylife, Bravely Default, Tales of Arise, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, etc... is it really that much of a standout? 😂
What's next? Are you going to BJ the developer? Biased trash review
First
thanks for watching!
@@gameinformer Where Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Game Informer Next Week?
even dar ksouls first game not get 9.5 it get 9 from many places but 9.5 . with this socre you saying better than dark souls 1 escpialy that lroe and connected map. no souls game can be that good ever. you out of your mind. for 9.5 game every one stop playing dark souls starfield baldrus gate and talk about life of pi. you gameing reviews should really come yourselfs. making only for youtube forgetting about magazines you guys become lost all of you
He is not saying it's better than Dark Souls, because he didn't review Dark Souls. You can't compare scores like that and you can't review games based on scores other games have gotten. He is saying he likes this game a lot and his view, it deserves a 9.5.
@@shavedraven true for until 9. 9 is generic. but if you give someting 10 or 9.5 you enter the compare zones. espcialy. to make game scored 1 0or 9.5 have to be create new game style like souls game. dark souls 1 and demon souls that games they not get 9.5 mostly get 9. life of pi a copy of soul style getting 9.5 like life of pi create the souls style genre. you loved the game give 9 ok. giving 9.5 10 is perfection need more than love of game. you cant find 9.5 10 games on magazines times often.
@@MrStrangermoon I agree with a lot of what you're saying. I personally would reserve such high scores only for games that do innovate as you mentioned. But I also think these scales are very subjective and although you and I might agree, perhaps this reviewer does believe this game innovates to that level, or perfects a formula that is worthy of such praise or he completely rejects the premise that innovation is necessary in order to warrant such a high score. Some reviewers score games only on how well they achieve what they are aiming to accomplish and disregard context entirely, while others place heavy value on the landscape that surrounds a game regardless of how well a vision is executed. As long as reviewers can articulate their points well and then I think any approach is fair.
What you wrote there just made my head hurt bro lol
@@shavedraven when ı was talking am not reforing he or gameinformer. am refuring youtube era of reviews. all of them. the best game reviewers ı know was gametrailers guy. they now on yotubue called easy allies. they enver give 10 score to any game. this 10 score ı first saw on skyrim. ı stop looking or considering reviews when all of them give battlefront 2 game very low scores when game perfeclt working on launch. they give love scores for loot drama just one side thing for game they give that. since than ı never look reviews bcouse ıplay battlefront 2 it was good for me. starfield also showing this reviews all of them not use to be. they simply forget manor of magazines days. start to acting regular youtubers. if you give 10 9.5 game more than inspired game then you cant look those as future source. future player should pick up life of pi then instead of dark souls 1. and when playing dark souls 1 after life of pi bcouse of that was 9.5 player probably confuse. souls gernre rather new gernre. not like fps and thirperson rather spesfic genre. life of pi need to come away too much the scored more than dark souls. every one should forget baldust gate 3 and starfiled talk about life of pi. well see but not gonna happen.
Uhhh, this didn't seem like a 9.5 review...but ok, still not my kind of game. 🤷♂️🤷♂️ for what i keep seeing from these TH-camrs about their hands time/Plus gameplay with Spider-Man 2 lol, if this gets a 9.5, then Spider-Man 2 better get 10.5 from Ya'll. 🤣🤣 because graphics alone Spider-Man 2 is a 10.5 👍🏽😁
graphics... graphics... graphics... spidermann will be the 3rd game with the same gameplay. Lies of Pi is the first game from a small studio that deserves all the praise to be able to go head-to-head with From Software.
Lies of P's graphic looks superb what are you saying.
@@WagrezPreach! Graphics are great, but they aren't the end all be all. Mechanics, story, graphics, character development, all of these tie together to create a beautiful game.
I'd rather look at games that get more than 30 to 60 fps 4k "graphics" games like spiderman2. Smooth games with high refresh rates are where it's at.
@sleeping.helper I said "Graphics alone!!", which means there's other categories also 🙄 but 10.5 in Spider-Man 2 graphical design out score this game by itself. 🤣🤣 and i'm more than sure Insomniac will expand/improve the gameplay!! "Deal With It" 😏 "Hater alert ⚠️" lol
More mid unoptimized trash like Last of Woke. Lords of the Fallen on PC will make this game look like a ps1 game
What did you smoke??? Did you see the benmarks for this game? They look better than 90% off AAA games this year...Sorry but Lords of the Fallen will have a hard time making this game look bad with its janky and goofy looking animations...and don't get me wrong i am so looking forward to lords of the fallen but if there is one game that you should worry about performance it is lords of the fallen..
Imagine being this much of an edgelord.
@@maran947 on console absolutely LotF will tank no doubt and will most likely run at 640p 30 fps but not on a respectable rig. All footage they showed of LotF was PC gameplay and it was butter smooth. No shader compilation stutters and no traversal stutters either. Anyone getting LotF on console will be in for one hell of a nasty surprise
@@CheckmateStallioN and so is Lies of P not sure why you are here...
@KY-ji4wd looks like you didnt play Last of Woke. It has wokeness written all over it
Not sure how a game that 95% of ppl won’t be able to beat deserves a 9.5. It’s the hardest souls like I’ve ever played. Infuriatingly hard, and unfair. Guess accessibility doesn’t matter.
