It doesn't need to be an literal puzzle. It could be something like Sekiro, where you can unlock prosthetics and endings by exploring and working out how things works by reading items descriptions and dialogues.
Even Disney's Pinocchio is pretty dark for them. Child slavery, Body change horror, and getting munched on by a giant whale. It would scare the hell out of kids today.
Thte perfect story to include a sanity meter,like when it drops below a certain percentage some stuff become more difficult (similar to the insight mechanic but more in depth)
No gimmick bosses and the game incetives aggressive gameplay? Those two things are huge positives in my book! Loved the demo, can´t wait to play the complete game.
"Turning classic children's stories into dark ....". Dude, virtually all classic children's stories were dark until Disney turned public domain tales into sanitized cartoons.
Crazy thing about this game is the developer is basically unknown and its self published. And its so polished. Looks fantastic and runs at a rock solid 120 on my 4070.
Honestly, you could probably use a complication of Grimm's Fairy Tales to create an awesome Souls-Like. Imagine fighting Prince Charming and partway through the fight he starts spamming clones, to represent how so many stories feature him as a character and end up marrying the heroine. Then, in the third phase, the clones all merge together into a horrific monstrosity, "The Charmless One".
@@MrSailing101 No, he's just one of the random nobodies in fairy tales who isn't even given a name, like the woodsman from Little Red Riding Hood, or the fisherman who catches a wish-granting fish in The Fisherman and his Wife, or the shoemaker from The Elves and the Shoemaker.
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.
Yeah after completing the game, this game is an easy 9/10 at least for me. IGN here are completely underselling this game. The story telling, gameplay, and sound/visuals are absolutely superb. One of the best from a video game I've seen. Plus this being their first game out of this genre shows how much potential the future releases have. Definitely give this game a shot if you haven't already. Looking forward to future releases
Souls like games are best played when you avoid using help in boss fights like - specters, ashen remains, summons etc. I'm thrilled for Lies of P. Irrespective of how others say, go play it and find it out for yourself folks 😉
@@natertotgaming1246Yes it does. Bloodborne’s awful 30fps lock is a _major_ reason why the game can never be considered FromSoft’s best. Overhyped beyond all semblance of reason. Bloodborne isn’t even that challenging outside of a few bosses despite the awful framerate.
This reviewer probably forgot about, or hasn't played, Sekiro, as the deflect mechanic and the left hand being some sort of a configurable robot arm is very Sekiro inspired.
Finally, a souls-like that says "give the people what they want" Scary/awesome bosses, check. Bloodborne atmosphere, check. Gadgets like in Sekiro, check. Just hope the finished product puts it all together enjoyably
The reviewer probably used Specters (akin to Ash Spirits in Elden Ring) to help in Boss fights, that's why he considered most of them easy. We know how much it helps to have something to aggro the boss away from us even if it doesn't do much damage.
Maybe finish watching the review? He literally says how some bosses are pushovers and other bosses theres a difficulty spike where he dies 20+ times and just has to git gud. And hate to break it to you but 90% of Elden Rings bosses were piss easy without summons outside of the like 5 that people always talk about. And if you use a meta build, those other 5 also become piss easy lol
@@maxismydog101 The main reason why Elden Ring is the easiest souls game by fromsoftware is simply because its a huge open world game. You could easily get overleveled and overpowered by just going around exploring and killing enemies again and again. If you're a veteran player who played almost every single souls game out there then it would make the game even more easy.
Obviously no boss in any Souls game is easy, even though they may be the easiest in that given game. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I've platinumed Bloodborne and DeS and no playthrough of either was easy. Any boss becomes easiER when you have already fought it and looked up the meta builds. All Fromsoft games since DeS are hard for the average person. Otherwise they wouldn't have the notoriety of being some of the hardest games of modern day.
@@laukpauk6053just this year we’ve had Baldur’s Gate 3, Zelda TOTK, Starfield, Street Fighter 6, Dead Island 2, Diablo 4, Wo Long, RE4 Remake, Dead Space Remake, and Armored Core 6. in the coming weeks/months we still have Lies of P, Payday 3, Mortal Kombat 1, Super Mario Wonder, and SpiderMan 2.
If a big developer had made the same game, IGN would have ignored the issues and given it 10/10. The reviewers are never critical on games like GTA5 and RDR2. Treatment like this is why gaming journalism is so corrupt
If you learn to perfect block everything, then you can play the game defensively, just takes practice. the demo was super enjoyable so really looking forward to play this :)
The original novel was a children's story too, just not as "soft" as the Disney adaptation. It was released in chapters for a magazine/newspaper but then compiled into a complete novel later on.
Mentioning the robotic left arm being comparable to Bloodborne's off-hand gun yet completely neglecting Sekiro's utilitarian prosthetic limb , while ALSO ignoring the deflection system clearly inspired by Sekiro AND the rally mechanic from Bloodborne.
@@SeanJamesDocherty The two games have a very "Victorian-Era" style, which makes sense since lies of P is Steampunk and Bloodborne employs a lot of Gothic horror mixed with Cosmic horror
@@S-K-log-WYour subjective point of view adds neither anything to general consensus nor has (anything regarding judging entertainment media) any „objective“ relevance.

@@zainraweem2392 If you don't know them, check out Alice: Madness Returns (or the original, American McGee's Alice) - they're older games that are more classic hack-and-slashes than pure Soulslike, but they tick all the boxes on the atmosphere side.

Dear, oh dear. What was it? The Hunt? The lies? Or the horrible puppets? Oh, it doesn't matter... It always comes down to the Hunter's helper to clean up after these sort of messes. Tonight, Gepetto joins the hunt..."
Here’s an idea don’t watch a gameplay review if you don’t want “spoilers” you can always go online and read them or like mentioned above listen and don’t watch
Dark Souls, Elden Ring and Lords of the Fallen looks so boring compared to Bloodborne and Lies of P, mainly because of the locations and lack of atmosphere.

It’s funny people keep comparing it to bloodborne. As far as aesthetics sure. Worlds could look similar. But combat is pretty different than bloodborne besides the quickstep dodge roll which doesn’t feel the same as bloodborne. Combat is very different than it. Blocking in bloodborne isn’t really a thing so the mechanic of blocking and regaining your health is also not the same(besides health regen from taking damage). The left hand weapon isn’t just bloodborne it’s all souls games. So really people say it’s like booodborne because of the atmosphere.
I’m honestly annoyed people still refer and compare these as soulslike and fromsoft games when Nioh 2 killed the genre. Best combat by a mile, abilities, spells, counter stuff, other stuff, the combat feels more akin to ninja gaiden and that’s an evolution and step in the right direction for these games. Nioh 2 doesn’t get the love or recognition despite easily being the best gameplay in the genre by quite a bit.
To those wondering, by a large margin, Lies of P is NOT one of those "souls like" games that sacrifices a lot of the fun for nothing more than difficulty.
Most "souls-likes" seem to have the Boba Fett ideal of storytelling. Not the modern Boba, with a backstory and his own show on D+, but how he was when he was just a cool looking action figure with one line in the original trilogy. The idea of "less is more" taken to the extreme, and people's imaginations totally running with what's (not) there.
Lies of P=Late Victorian architecture and steampunk tech and robot enemies. Bloodborne=Old Gothic architecture and eldritch/folk enemies. Only the combat is similar to from games.
"...it would have been nice if they had a fight or two where they mix it with a puzzle...". No. No. Never. Those are literally the worst. Glad to hear they passed on that.

BTW for those that aren't aware, Pinocchio is actually a dark tale turned into a children's tale; not the other way around.

Even Disney's Pinocchio is pretty dark for them. Child slavery, Body change horror, and getting munched on by a giant whale. It would scare the hell out of kids today.

Blocking in bloodborne isn’t really a thing so the mechanic of blocking and regaining your health is also not the same(besides health regen from taking damage).
The left hand weapon isn’t just bloodborne it’s all souls games.
So really people say it’s like booodborne because of the atmosphere.
a souls like with an actual story I'm in
wait...Sekiro?
"...a poison swamp area every souls-like is legally required to include" lmao
yes, of course there is a bloodborne shaped hole in my life.
That's what she said
4:38 did homie REALLY just say he wishes there were gimmick fights, and that those are his FAVORITE!? Wtf???
Can’t wait to get home and play this after work.
I’m honestly annoyed people still refer and compare these as soulslike and fromsoft games when Nioh 2 killed the genre. Best combat by a mile, abilities, spells, counter stuff, other stuff, the combat feels more akin to ninja gaiden and that’s an evolution and step in the right direction for these games.
Nioh 2 doesn’t get the love or recognition despite easily being the best gameplay in the genre by quite a bit.
1:36 that was cool
A souls game worth buying
Nah.
@@Rizingfz08YaH 🤓
Free on gamepass
@@Rizingfz08 have fun replaying ds 2 or something again then weirdo
Yup
It should be 9.5 outta 10
No.
Lol nah
That Will be lords of the fallen ;)
IGN doesn't use .1-9 anymore.
To those wondering, by a large margin, Lies of P is NOT one of those "souls like" games that sacrifices a lot of the fun for nothing more than difficulty.
Loving this game. Feels like bioshock infinite type enemies like steampunk mixed with souls gameplay. 👏
bioshock infinite enemies, OK bro smoke another one for me
One of the dumbest comments I’ve had the displeasure to read
8/10 is an absolute robbery of this absolute gem
9/10 minimum, but this game is potentially better than DS3
Really makes you FEEL like pinocchio
I’ve always wanted to feel like Pinocchio…said no one ever.
Ha!
Aha!....I get that reference
Most "souls-likes" seem to have the Boba Fett ideal of storytelling. Not the modern Boba, with a backstory and his own show on D+, but how he was when he was just a cool looking action figure with one line in the original trilogy.
The idea of "less is more" taken to the extreme, and people's imaginations totally running with what's (not) there.
Lies Of P really makes you feel like Pinocchio
Lies of P=Late Victorian architecture and steampunk tech and robot enemies.
Bloodborne=Old Gothic architecture and eldritch/folk enemies.
Only the combat is similar to from games.
It’s 10/10 a beautifully well done souls like with plenty of heart. If you love blood borne, this is a stand out homage to it.
Looks interesting cant wait to play
Lol 8/10. Hey this game is better than starfield. Probably got the extra point because it’s not Xbox exclusive.
Game pass, baby. Yes!
2:52 my personal favourite song is by far „someday“, its fckn amazing!
So funny how his main knock on this game was that there weren't puzzles. lol. Wrong guy for the review, so probably a 9 or closer to a 10.
That's what I'm thinking, so since even he thought it was an 8, that makes me really excited to play!
After what IGN said about Starfield (easy GOTY) you cant trust a word these fools say
