I am terrible at Souls games and yet I still buy them, I still play them and, most importantly, I still love them. Enjoyed the video very much and subbed.
Thanks! I appreciate it. You’ll get better the more you play no doubt.
Great job on the video and analysis. Well done knocking out three playthroughs as well.
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
As far as souls likes go, lords is a good bad one.
Right lol
Yes! This is how to say it. It’s a good bad one !
As far as souls like go, It’s a good good one.
Give it an 7.5 its a damn good game the devs are patching alot and listening. I wish the bosses were harder! Lock on not great, also wish there were more different types of enemies. If deves keep polishing game and put some add ons with it would be an amazing game!
Couldn’t agree more
I feel your review was very down to earth. Honestly, I don’t think they were going for crazy bosses, they were going back to the very readable, reactable, tough but fair DS1 philosophy. Ofc coming from sekiro makes LotF feel like a joke, but DS1 feels the same.
I agree don’t think bosses were meant to be super punishing and being a souls fan and playing all the games it’s only natural that it plays easier. Thanks man I really appreciate the feedback!
@@LenkoRH I don’t mean they weren’t meant to be punishing, they have some punishing damage, what I means was they embraced the roots of souls bosses.
@loganshundi6231 definitely, I think so too. It just felt easier for me bc I’ve played these games for so long. The bosses definitely felt very DS
@@LenkoRH Tbh I’m also kinda grateful for it, I love lies of P but it pulls a lot of legitimate bs. I like that hexworks chose to embrace the roots instead of trying to one-up developers. They want to make a game that’s good in its own right, not trying to out do its peers.
Absolutely why we got what I think is the best soulslike out there
I got the game last week. Picked pyric cultist because bad ass. Not sure if it’s just the class, my skill, the bosses or a combo of all three but I have a pretty hard time with them and I’m not even far. Just beat the hushed Saint.
I heard my class gets way better later on so I’m hoping for that.
My other note is the lock on. Yeah it has driven me insane! Especially climbing a ladder! After you get to the top I spam the lock on only for it to not lock on to ANYTHING and I take a hit for it.
I think Pyric cultist is the hardest class to start with but you should be in good shape for some late game bosses.
Yes the lock on is absolutely horrendous and I wish they could fix it.
It’s the hardest class to start with because most enemies in the beginning are resistant to fire. But, yes, it will become very powerful later on. Some very strong spells and weapons to bring to muster.
I love that people who genuinely enjoyed the game can be objective in their review and balance out all the good with the negatives because there's no point in sugarcoating things. I've experienced no issues and my only real problem was with the Crow and Adyr fights being disappointing but I can understand the issues other people had. The problem is, that people who didn't like the game didn't just walk away and admit it's not a game for them, but decided to trash talk it. Every negative review I've watched boiled down to "the game is shit, everyone agrees it's shit. If you for some reason like it then you must like eating shit" which is just so pathetic and I do not consider those elgit reviews because they're only antagonizing people who had a blast and got their money's worth. People who say the game has no redeeming qualities are just hating for the sake of hating.
100%. Well said! I couldn’t agreed more.
Correction: you do not need the PvP (hands), Co-op (coins), nor avenging (eyes) for the Ironclad trophy. I have 100% completion and only recently purchased my first co-op armour piece. So no, if they had i cluded this then the 100% completion would be way too annoying.
That’s great
Those swords look cool as hell. I’ve been on the fence about buying this game since it came out (I don’t mind spoilers obviously) and seeing those swords make me actually wanna play the game. Every other review or gameplay video I’ve seen has honestly made the game look pretty bad with way too many enemies and kinda clunky looking combat but it looks kinda fun in your vid. Not sure if it’s because they’ve patched out some of the enemies or what but I like to explore in these games and some vids made it look like it was a chore to clear areas
That’s awesome, I really appreciate it. The radiant version of the sword you can get super early, the other one is endgame. I definitely encourage you to check it out. I do think it’s getting significantly more negative reviews than it deserves.
I had 140 hrs and not nearly done with the game, while playing, I had a local power outage. Power came back, try to log in with my 155 main, cant. Save file is corrupt with no way to fix. The least they could have done was make the game manually saveable, that whole situation made me never want to play it again.
I lost a save my self due to corruption. I started manually backing up my save to the cloud in case it ever happened again.
It’s a good one. I’ve played every souls game, nioh 1 and nioh 2, Sekiro, Bloodborne, and even the original loft. This games’s pros outweigh its cons, in my opinion, and the continued work on the game is commendable.
Agree 100%
I think the removal of the enemies to tailer to those who can't get good really hurt this game.
I've got over 400 hours in the game and ever since that change I feel like the entire first run through is just a tutorial now... I don't feel like it starts to pick back up till in ng+.
People wanted to get to bosses quick but this game is more about the exploration and the regular hords you fight along the way.
Main Bosses in this game acts more like story arc points... Witch is ok it's a different take then like Elden Ring where the mods where absolutely trash and posed little challenge but the bosses were top notch.
Edit: I completely agree about the lockon. I still use legacy cuz the new ones are even worse, they prioritize enemys making it even harder to lock onto objects.
I agree, I wish they kept all the enemies in. I didn’t have any issue with the amount of enemies or the placement
thank you for makings this video and for shearing your thoughts it has given me a good prospective on the game and has convinced me to buy it i was on the fence about it but now ill be getting it on my next paycheck
Awesome! I’m glad I could give some insight. What system are you getting it on?
playstaion 5 @@LenkoRH
Just beat the game - Agree with lock-on being terrible and the radiant ending boss being a bit odd. I also thought that so much of the map details and lighting look identical, meaning that it's hard to know where to go or how to advance in the game, especially when you're at a dead end after a boss - it is not clear AT ALL where to go to get to the Light reaper battle. Enemies also still somehow remain alive even thought there health bar is at zero.
I agree with you, especially with the “maps” they didn’t really point out anything. Surprisingly I never got lost but I can definitely see that it could be easy to do so
Great video! Just wanted to say the multiplayer armor sets are not required for the achievement/trophy. It popped for me on Xbox and I have none of the pvp armor
Oh nice! That’s awesome to know. Thanks, I really appreciate it!
Parry is a great mechanic? I think i used it only on pieta boss fight. It's way better to dodge in this game - no wither damage, same stamina loss, you get more damage in, since grieveos strike it's like 2 light attacks worth of damage and no extra punishable stagger on enemy's side.
The parry is a great mechanic. The combat would be significantly less enjoyable if you only had dodge. Grievous strikes damage vary greatly depending on weapon and runes. The parry gives depth to the combat, if you chose not to use it then it’s cool bc the great thing about this game is that you can play however you want but to say it’s not a great addition to the game doesn’t make a lot of sense.
@@LenkoRH parry is inferior in many ways in LotF. When you parry you still get wither damage and that alone is the reason to never use it. You are handicapping yourself when using parries instead of dodge:
Lets imagine mob has 3 hit combo, if you're parrying it, you have to parry all the attacks without getting hit once, now imagine if you manage to parry 2 and third got you - you will lose aprx 180% of enemy hit, if you dodge you can put yourself behind rest attacks, and punish, while mob is swinging at nothing, now same scenario - you dodge 2 attacks and third got you, you lose only 100% of enemy attack. Its not a great system and game does not have a great combat, its r1 spam combat. mindless and boring, especially in coop.
@user-tp7ef6rw4l I can no longer take your comments seriously, you’re literally complaining about an optional mechanic in a game. If you aren’t capable of parrying or don’t like it then don’t do it but it doesn’t mean it’s not a good system that gives the combat depth. Bro if you don’t like the game then don’t play it.
@@LenkoRH i see, not good at logic it seems. I'm complaining about you telling it's a good mechanic while providing no proof. Parry sucks in this game is you chose to use it as some sort of self-punishment - go right ahead, but dont try to say it's good, when it's not. Why would you EVER want to parry 3 attacks in a row with a chance to lose almost all of your life, while you can dodge behind enemy's back, get 2-3 hits in and risk only getting hit once? Makes no sense to me.
"The combat was very, very good". LMFAO.
Not a fan?
Not sure if it mentioned but does the constant saving cause input lag and stuttering for anyone else?
I haven’t noticed stuttering and lag while saving but I’ll pay more attention
i'm going for 100% been loving it
That’s awesome! Glad you’re enjoying it.
you dont need to gain the pvp armor sets to get the all armor pieces achievement, so you missed something
Yea, there are a few pieces that I know I needed just put it off bc I thought I needed the PvP sets. Good to know it’s not included. Thanks
I had an amazing time with the game. I only stopped playing because after the last update I immediately could never get another invasion going.
I struggled getting those to work too. Hopefully they get it fixed
i keep getting invaded, but i can't invade at all lol. they where all consol invaders
They fixed that
@@djhinton101 - Was there a recent update?
@Emp6ft10in think the last update was 5 days ago
How the hell did you play the game three times and not get the Wayfarer trophy? I thought it was impossible to miss that one provided you get all the vestiges. I think what you've done is a bigger achievement than the actual achievement XD
Actually come to think of it, I didn't even have all the vestiges. I got the trophy on my first playthrough right after walking through the blocked gate leading to Bramis Castle.
I have no clue lol. I’ve ran back and forth everywhere to try and get that trophy to pop.
Great review man i gave it a 7.5 to a 8 myself. I really have felt some other people have tried to gate keep this game and act l like its the worst game ever which is just not true i feel its in order to push Lies of P. The thing is to me they both serve different purposes for the genre Lies of P leans more towards Sekiro and Bloodborne like with its own twists and LotF feels more like Demon souls and Dark souls with a sprinkle of Bloodborne and its own twist just my opinion though. Also im pretty sure you dont need the Covenant Armor sets ive seen the Devs, Fighting Cowboy, and reddit users say its not required and also that once you do unlock the sets they are available across all new and old characters on that account.
I agree with you 100%. I personally liked this game more than Lies of P but for the exact reasons you mentioned. Lies if P was a good game I just like DS more than Sekiro. I appreciate the comment!
I have enough of this game, the increase in difficulty for NG+1 is abolutely crazy!
Yea, they definitely ramp it up from base
I’m addicted at the moment, some things are frustrating. Story wise I have no idea what’s going on lol I skip past every chat encounter. Very few if any souls games have a decent and easy to follow story.
The only other thing I dislike was the lack of balance and ability to completely reset your character (it takes you back to your base), I picked inferno to mix it up by had loads of points in inferno regardless 🤣🤦♂️
Yea, you can only reset back to the original class level. From that standpoint you kinda need to know what kind of build you want
Love that late game frame rate drop lol
Yea, it wasn’t too bad for me thankfully but it was still there
@@LenkoRH it's not too bad until the halfway point. Around Judge cleric until the monarch. Constantly getting dips.
@themetalcosmic9504 what are you playing on? I’m on PS5 and I had very few only around Bramis Castle.
The game is undoubtedly good . The best two things are the way the world all connects and the look . I'm personally not a fan of the umbral part of the game , I think it would have been better without it
I liked umbral but the mobs got kinda ridiculous at times.
@LenkoRH apparently they nerfed the umbral mobs , it still seems kinda crazy though . I'm enjoying it none the less. Just defeated abiding defenders and blessed carrion Knight. Still a way to go I think 🤔
@benjiskitts yea you got quite a bit left. The end of the game had some good areas in it
The lock on is my biggest problem with the game. I’ve pretty much only played coop and I feel like this game was meant to be played in coop.
Could be why there are so many mobs
@@LenkoRH my thoughts, exactly! 👍
After a 120 hours i feel like the game tries too hard to seperate itself from othersouls games (when it comes to spells or throwables and how all that works) i personally loved the game graphically.. i liked most of the melee combat .. but i feel like playing as a mage wasnt as good .. ontop of everything the amount of mobs was too much ..they were pretty repetitive aswell especially in umbral .. the bosses were too easy mostly first trying everything .. and the world was too interconnected and complicated i found myself getting lost too often ..says allot about a non open world game .. over all a 6/7 for me
Nice video btw u earned a sub
I would definitely agree. I know they ended up nerfing the mobs and buffing the bosses. The world was interconnected really well but I think it was just too big overall. Thanks, I really appreciate the comment!
@LenkoRH even though it nerfed the mobs still feel too much and way too repetitive.. multiple mini bosses turn to mobs and its just a repetitive cycle .. literally yesterday beat multiple main bosses they felt really weak .. maybe i was over leveled im not sure
@PMA666 could be. It does feel like you fight the same groups of enemies over and over again. I need to start a new character so I can tell the differences better
You’re just too good bro cuz I’m dying 10 times before I beat every boss
@deadicated9525 probably depends on ur build too .. im playing pure strength
Step yo game up 100 hours are rookie numbers and not enough to really give it a fair review🤷🏽♂️
Incorrect
It's trash
Oooh, boy, you are in deep denial. Devs made a good job? Bosses are good?
Devs didn't do jack on performance issues and gameplay issues - framerate is still all over the place and lock on and pvp are still broken. Density fix is a joke, i can use fingers on one hand to count instances i seen mob being removed, devs reuse assets like its a steam's another asset flip game. Reviews are kinda similar too. But they fixed exploits on red reaper farm. P - Priorities. Bosses still glitch out and get stuck on textures, especially that Gimmethatlamp boy. I finished game 2 times and each time he got stuck on a wall.
Bosses are grade A trash. All of them are dodge to the left and wallop their behind kind of bosses. And amount of reused bosses is baffling. Like 1st part of Schizo-knight fight is dismounted bog-horse guy, that malenia-artorias-pricess lothrick chick uses SAME ATTACKS as regular mob enemy + crossbow.
This game is abhorent and should be benched for complete overhaul. It's disrespectful towards player and should be an example what NOT to do in Soulslike game.
We clearly had different experiences lol. I mentioned all the performance issues I had in my video and it wasn’t much, 5 total crashes, a corrupted save and some slight frame drops. Nothing that I would consider game breaking. I understand everyone has different experiences in this area but for me on PS5 I felt the issues were minimal.
@@LenkoRH how low is your bar? 5 crashes and corrupted save file is considered normal in 2023? And frame drops is the killer for these games. Let me tell you how many issues i got playing Lies of P day one - none. No crashes, no bosses stuck on geometry, no frame drops on ultra settings with my mobile 1650 TI and no save file issues. You need to get your standards up.
@user-tp7ef6rw4l all my issues minus the very small frame drops happened before the corrupted save(13hrs), after that it ran incredibly smooth(100+hrs). My standards aren’t low, I just don’t get upset over a few frame drops and drops I had were super small and never caused any issues gameplay wise. Sounds like it’s what you’re playing on is the problem
@@LenkoRH it is a probmem. My system is not the strongest, but i finished BG3 on high settings and LoP on ultra and those games are wastly superior to LotF in fidelity and overall graphical feel. LotF is poorly optimized and this fact is reflected in steam reviews and numbers.
Elden ring is the best one the endings are shit too
That’s true, Elden Ring had very similar ending presentation
