    Man, when it comes to this type of game, it really comes down to how intuitive (or potentially counterintuitive) the on-screen combat animations synchronize with the player’s button press/input for critical fundamentals, like parry, block, or dodge. I never complain about challenge or difficulty, as long as whenever I mess up, I can clearly tell why I messed up. Some of these Souls-Like titles provide that immediate feedback to the player very well, while others… do not.

    I actually think theres a lot of great themes and interesting lessons in the tale of pinocchio. Pinocchio - as whimsical and lighthearted as it comes across, has a lot of pretty dark implications about our development as humans, and to see a soulslike game embrace that world is very intriguing to me. Ranted a bit there, but yea, will def pick this game up at some point.(there are too many good games coming out soon and im fully enraptured in baldurs gate 3 and armored core 6 atm.

As soon as the demo came out I went through it 4 different times with completely different builds, putting 7 hours into it. When the 72 hour early access started, i was ready. Now have 12 hours in the game and I can honestly say it is now one of my all time favorites. The setting, the style, the gameplay, the characters…..all of it is so insanely charming and interesting. I am praying this kind of gothic retelling becomes more popular cause I feel like they struck gold here. So far, definitely my game of the year.

    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.

    • @azalago

    I've always wanted to get into these games because I think once I get some sort of hang of it, they'll have some of the best gaming/atmospheric moments you can find. Other than a 5-6 hr attempt at Bloodborne and playing the Souls-lites like Star Wars Jedi or Darksiders 3, I haven't tried these. Well, this demo has me giving it a real attempt now.
    I was told by an online community that I'd be better off starting with Elden Ring, which is what I'm currently working my way through. Is it resolving all the confusing spec issues, etc.? No not really, but I am picking up some things here and there that I think will help me complete all of the FromSofts one day.
    I did start Lies of P demo as the far right class for heavy attacks and now in Elden Ring I'm running a Confessor w/ more Dex. I still wish I was able to spec correctly and easily try different classes/attacking types. Still seems like once you spend those souls, you're committing in a too real way.

    The P Organ was one of my favorite mechanics in the game. I’ve gotten to a point where I hate skill trees. While we might unlock abilities in different orders, in the end our characters are exactly the same. In this game it would take multiple play throughs to unlock the entirety of the P Organ so by the end of a first play through there will be so many unique builds and it does feel like your making work for your play style.

      If you want to try the Souls genre after Lies of P, make sure to do the true Soulsbornes first. And by that I mean, those made by FromSoftware itself (Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Demon's Souls). They are still the undisputed kings of the genre they created and these are some of the greatest games of all time.

      apart from Lies of P ;
      Thymesia, Steelrising are some of the better souls-likes/souls copycats. but Lies of P is tge best among them tgat are not actual soulsborne games.
      and if u end uo loving dark souls enough then try
      "salt and sanctuary"
      which is basically 2d dark souls. and if u like salt n sanctuary then you can hump into metroidvania genre of rabbithole with toptier games like
      Hollow knight, Blasphemous 1&2, Afterimage, Ender Lilies, Moonscar etc.

I love the dark souls series and bloodborne and it caught my attention by gameplay and I wanna stop playing the grand theft auto series I'm doing to pick up this game and see what kind of challenges I can partake in! Very interesting story and setting while the gameplay looks amazing. Now I gotta get it for myself.

    My first Souls game was the Demon's Souls remake. I loved that game and managed to beat it without too much trouble. I then went straight to Sekiro and the combat instantly clicked, it's my favourite FromSoft game. I tried Elden Ring for about 15 hours but felt the open world didn't work, and found myself having to grinddddd for an hour every couple of hours to break even and that just wasn't fun. I was very excited for this game due to the art style, the world, their take on the source material etc but thought maybe I had my fill of Souls games. However, I played the demo for Lies of P and I absolutely loved it, so I'm very happy it's getting universally great reviews. Can't wait to play this day one!

    I will never understand whats the point of a dodge button if you always take damage anyways ruins games for me.

    This game is way too difficult , I can't even past the first big boss . Totally regret buying this on the PlayStation store . They should at least made it so you can set the difficulty level . A million times the same level just to build up some strength is absolutely ridiculous

      Im not sure what you're struggling with. The 1st boss is lsnt too bad. I'd suggest working on your parry and make sure you're paying attention to your stamina if this is your first souls like game.

    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..."

    This is one of the most unoriginal games I've ever played. Lies of P blatantly rips off of FromSoft's Soulsborne games so much that I began to hate it the further I progressed into my playthrough. It would be easier to list the things that Lies of P doesn’t lift from FromSoft’s games than it would be to list the things that it does.
    If Lies of P didn't rip off so much from FromSoft's games, then it'd be an OK 7/10 experience for me, but I just can't get past that severe lack of originality.
    I give this game a light 5 out of 10.

      I agree and the combat sucks especially the parry and dodge mechanics, the enemy design is also ugly.
      Thankfully I refunded the game on time, still frustrated tho cause I was expecting a good game.
