Cosmetics might not affect combat aspect, but one reviewer said they found at least three outfits that had positive effect when interacting with NPCs. According to them reading the lore behind these cosmetic items can help you guess that some NPCs might act differently if you were to wear them. I mean we already know Lady Antonia will react to you if you do the gesture while wearing the school uniform in the demo.(possibly hinting P is based on deceased son of Geppeto and Antonia)
I’m an old man. Cosmetics in RPGs are awful. The whole point is to earn the gear and look cool. If all the best stuff is behind a storefront then I’m not gonna play or buy the game. I miss old school WoW. I want people to see my mount and shit their pants. That part of gaming is long gone
I totally know what you mean about the vibe. It seems like such a shallow thing to focus on, but I honestly think more games should focus on atmosphere as a priority. If the atmosphere is bad or boring, it doesn’t really matter how good the gameplay or writing is. It’s always nice to see developers being aware of that.
I bought it yesterday and it actually filled the Bloodborne shaped hole in my heart. I am content. I wish enemies were a bit more difficult but the bosses are awesome.
I'm only here to say that this cleaned up and styled hair and beard combo you've got going right now is really working for you. Keep it up, looking good.
Man I was burnt out as well with the genre and I’m so excited for this game. I haven’t touched any of them since elden ring. I’m very very excited for it.
I loved Bloodborne and DS3. Elden Ring and Sekiro gave up half way thru them. Armored Core 6 is great. I gotta try Surge. Im mainly excited for The Surges
The demo held me over for an easy 6 hours. I played it twice, and the challenge was always there. Thanks for talking about it. I will definitely be buying this one.
I mean, the vast majority of reviewers are pretty good at video games. Of course they would be. Would you be happy if a reviewer gave a game a bad score because they couldn't beat the toturial?
The mad lads at round 8 went into making this game with a prior game being an MMO (blessed unleashed), the hurdle was huge and I'm glad to hear they nailed it. I was interested in the title the moment it was announced, mainly because of its aesthetic and atmosphere, I'm usually not a fan of soulslikes, but having played the demo, I'm definitely jumping into this one.
I was already considering playing it despite having never played a Soulslike in my life (major noob over here to games, just got into gaming last year), but you have absolutely sold me. I'm neck deep in Baldur's Gate 3 and Starfield still and have yet to get to Sea of Stars, which I also really want to play, so here's hoping I can get to this soon as well. There have just been too many amazing games this year and the backlog never stops growing! Thanks for all you do Jake, have a good day :)
I'm so thankful for game companies putting out playable demos. Being able to preview how the game can run on my hardware sold me on Lies of P after being hyped from the trailers. More game companies should do this if they believe in their product!
Yea I wish it was more common these days, but unfortunately it has been proven that putting out demos actually hurts sales generally...Maybe not every time, but on average...I was suprised at how well Lies of P runs on my PC, I have just gotten used to everything running like crap I guess...
Very, very, very good review; full of a vibrant vibe, stunning frames not seen before (without spoilers!). Like watching a restaurant review show and feeling stomach juices collect. Brain juices collecting. This review reffing rocks. You nailed it from all angles. Thank you for sharing your experience of aspects of occasional souls-style fatigue.
Downloaded it yesterday and I'm just now at the Shocking Bobby guy. I'm with you on struggling with these but I also like the grind because I don't just FLY through them. It's slick, it's stylish, I'm glad it's here and I'm loving it.
I'm about 10 hours in and I 100% agree. There are a few things about the combat mechanics and enemy attacks I don't love, but everything else is absolutely awesome, just the general vibe of the world and all the visuals are so good. They nailed it
I was so impressed by the scale and worldbuilding. This needs a sequel or a successor with another theme. They got a good formular with very solid new unique mechanics.
@@JoostShinomaybe narrative and story scale? looks like they’re really going for building a mythos to this universe. and on the levels’ scale, personally i think it helped the game, being super linear streamlined it and probably enabled it to look that good and run THAT well.
It's worth noting how amazingly well optimized this game is on PC, it ran at a flawless 60fps on my steam deck without breaking a sweat and it still looks amazing.
The game looks really cool. I’m always glad to see success and excellence in the gaming space, even when it’s a game I probably won’t play. I just love seeing the creativity, and seeing people enjoying playing games. Hope people have a blast playing it.
Your motivation for pushing through is exactly the same I had with DS1. Just wanting to see what kind of beautiful area was next, so this game sounds right up my alley!
When the hotel opens up at the end...bro that holy shit moment was so epic. Coming back 6 months later and man what a masterpiece. They hinted at a wizard of Oz sequel after the credits with Dorothy clicking her heels together. So well done.
Had to go back and watch the sponsor spot to see the progress of the Bruce Wayne inspired hideaway. It's looking great! You got a wingback chair and dark furniture going on, really cool. Maybe some dark drapes / curtains for the window to take away the sharp edges of the frame and you're golden. I'm going for an Art-Deco 'bio-shock' inspired theme with my place, but without the flooding, so know the work that goes into that kind of project.
Hey Jake, just FYI, the video cuts to black at 4:49, and stays on a black screen with audio underneath for about 10 seconds. Just thought you might wanna know. Great video though! Im glad to know this one lives up to the hype!
Just from the demo the atmosphere hooked me. I really enjoyed the music albums and that's usually not the case for me. It all just goes together perfectly!
We’ve been blessed with so many games this year. I’m still on my first run of BG3, haven’t even opened Starfield yet and now I’ve got an amazing souslike to enjoy as well? Thats only in the last 2 months! Insanity. Next month is Spider-Man 2 as well!
There will be moments in this game you will rage, but it is wonderful despite the hard enemies. Kinda reminds me of playing blood-borne again and I'm loving it
I'm on the same boat. I'm gassed out of From Software games atm. With the limited time i have between work, school and gym, I don't have time to dive into that style of game. I still like the style though. I have a back log of From style games to play.
This may become my favorite souls like. My top 3 have been the remnant series, surge series and wo long (very underrated IMO), this is up there with them
One more thing that I would like to add and i do not see people talk about it enough, is NG+. Without spoiling anything, I will just say that the developers did a brilliant job during boss fights to give you additional information and angle about what actually happened in the world.
Yes the aesthetic of this game in the trailers sold me hard. I was just praying for good gameplay and so far it seems as if this will be worth picking up judging from the reviews.
Hey Jake, glad to hear you really like this game i was full of excitement & anticaption for the exact same reasons you were, the aesthetic. I'm not really into the souls-like games but i did play Blood Borne in preparation for LOP and i really dug it, the difficulty is exhausting but the dope style & aesthetic kept me in it. I have a deep fascination for history so I'm a huge slut for anything Steam Punk, Victorian, Art Deco & Dark Academia, especially when coupled with Fables or Science Fiction. Ive been itching to see more of these themes in gaming so i knew LOP would be perfect for me, can't wait to pick it up.
@@momsspaghetti4064ok? So? That game is not this one. For their first shot at the series, a genre NOBODY gets right, they did an amazing job. And the way they’re building up their world has me going crazy about the potential sequels. They’ve got something special here.
Game is awesome some little clunkiness but you have to unlock a lot of the Mechanics but the story is Amazing twist of Pinocchio world. Feels like a new Bloodbourne
I'll have to try the white chicken chili soon. Haven't seen that in my options, so maybe it's a location- specific option? I'll check my upcoming Factor options to see if it's there. Thanks for the heads-up, and all the game info too of course ❤
I’ve had gamepass since the series X came out, I always wondered why I had it, Starfield and LoP finally made subscribing worth it. Not sure about the other two or so years 😅
There have been some bangers on there, you've missed out. Granted there are still some other bangers like Hollow Knight, the Ori games, and I think Mass Effect Legendary Edition is on there. Maybe NieR Automata too? All incredible games. Hades is a big one you missed out on, sadly it's gone now
Jake brother I never had courage to play Souls game and I'm 40 years old gamer I love my old school RPGs/adventure games as well as Football manager and good horror (I actually really like Callisto) but you explain to me very well that I can try this and I'm not going to be frustrated straight away thanks dude, love from EU
Im absolutely loving it! Honestly I was so dissatisfied with Elden Ring, I just stopped playing it. Personally, I just felt like it was more of the same with very minor tweaks and more convolution. But lies of P is both fresh, familiar and fun.
Throughout your entire video I was SO scared for your PS5! It seems to be at the very edge of a tiny table. Every time you moved your arms during your review, I was terrified you would knock it off!
Love your content and I can’t wait for this game! Also please add the base holder to your ps5. Makes me nervous watching it stand up with no stand attached! Hahaha.
I'm so happy that this game is actually good! This is the first game I have pre-ordered in like 12 years...As soon as I finished the Demo I knew I was gonna love it!
@fionnmaccuill415 most people still buy games you know ? Not everyone depends on gamepass. Well at least everyone outside Xbox still buy them. We already know Xbox players don't buy games
@fionnmaccuill415 nothing personal bud. I'm just stating some facts because I've seen a lot of people telling other players "it's on gamepass why are u spending 60 or 70 $ " Well most people like to own their games and collect them for the future
I also bought the game because it was Pinocchio Souls, so count me as one of the people who didn't laugh at the concept. What we got in the end was far better than I had expected, especially is you aim for the best ending. Thanks to the soundtrack, I ended up discovering that some of those record songs are remakes of music from Neowiz's previous game. As such, I thought the DJMAX easter eggs were cool despite me never heard of DJMAX itself till Lies of P.
The game is superb, and honestly probably one of my favorite souls like ever. He does so many things, right I feel like it changes enough things from the general gameplay of other souls like to stand out and the mechanical arm feels like it really fits with the theme and doesn’t feel like us just trying to copy other souls like. I am on new game plus and I’ve been playing it on and off the last few days after I beat it but it is honestly super solid and I’m really excited to see where they’re taking the ending or if there’s gonna be some kind of DLC or some thing and there’s still a lot of things that the community hasn’t solved yet that I’m really excited to see the answers to those questions when we figure it out
If there was ever a studio that should catch FromSoftware’s attention it’s Round8. These guys made the best game…if not the only game close to a Bloodborne-like game that hits so many notes almost to perfection.
Thanks for talking more about Lies of P Jake.. been looking forward to this game for awhile. Demo was great & glad to know the full game is too.. i can never get enough of these games i swear lol
Bought the game today for €35.99 and deluxe upgrade for €9.99 so a very good deal. It was cheaper this way than buying the deluxe edition for €69.99. I played a little bit, and leveled up to level 14, got my first 2 trophy's and I love the perfect parry system. I also play bloodborne now, and defeated the first 2 bosses and have 2 hunter outfits. The one with the hunters cap, and the one with the tophat. In Elden ring I'm level 125, and did 85% off the bosses before you go to altus plateau. Just Radahn and I can go further with Ranni quest and bosses. At Volcano manor I did 2 missions *technically 3 because I killed Patches his target too". Anyway now it will take awhile before I can go through with that because I have to go to Leyndell to join Bernahl. Also got the key to release dungeater. Anyway I'm doing a completionist run including the dlc,👍. And my canon ending will be dungeaters,. Everyone will suffer.
Souls games are like horror games for me, I hate playing them myself but I love watching other people play them. I actually did buy Elden Ring just to support FromSoft but I've never opened it. lol
Big Fan of Pinocchio since as far as I can recall. The very first book I read. Great Review and looking forward to sinking my teeth into this masterpiece. Alos not a really good Souls Gamer, have ADHD so it's challenging but I will try and push through this one. More of these reviews please @Jake Baldino❤
I'm so happy that this game turned out good because when I seen the first reveal trailer long before the game ever showed gameplay I knew that it was going to be right up my alley. It did not disappoint I've had a blast playing this game :D
Been loving this game so far. Glad I played the demo though. Knowing the combat mechanics and how important they are made getting past the demo stage in the real game much easier.
I really don't consume game media a lot so I may have heard the name only 2 weeks ago and knew nothing about it bar some glimpses at social media mentions. But saw it sitting in my Gamepass, at a quick 35gb no less and so _Why Not?_ And oh man, it's crazy how much I missed *that.* Love this game.
If you're someone who likes heavy hitting classes in soulslikes where you can tank some damage, swing big binks (or just greatswords) and prefer a slower paced combat, this game will absolutely crush you. I completed so many different soulslikes, including FromSoftware's games (Sekiro twice which is basically 8 playthroughs), both Nioh games, both Surge games, Ashen, which has an absolutely fucking brutal completion with the DLC and Lies of P absolutely crushes me like no other game did. They've put heavy/slower weapons into the game, but pretty much every elite and boss are designed with fast paced playstyle in mind. The amount of delayed attacks those enemies have or attacks with 0 transparency at all is staggering. Just play with faster, lighter weapons and throwables, playing with heavy type class doesn't reward you at all, unless you're a total freak.
I am glad you liked it. I played the demo and loved it. I wanted to support the game on release, but there are too many games coming out. I think I will be playing this one in late November or December.
One thing id like to put out there, is I'm tired of souls like games, and I wish with all my heart that any studio would make a dynasty warriors/ samurai warriors game that just brings that genre back, because I loved those games before they failed super bad lately.... I miss dynasty warriors, hurts my heart they failed so bad...
This game is getting such good reviews it should do well. Pity Lords of the Fallen is coming out early next month and that's what I set my eyes on getting first. I'll get Lies of P some time after.
If it helps, I think the bests words that cover the esthetic that you are enjoying about this games, is baroque architecture with rococo embellishment. I also love this esthetic 😀
I’m almost done playing my first playthrough of DS3 I’m trying to beat it before this game is out because I already have it installed and I just can’t wait to play it. Love the channel!
Cosmetics might not affect combat aspect, but one reviewer said they found at least three outfits that had positive effect when interacting with NPCs. According to them reading the lore behind these cosmetic items can help you guess that some NPCs might act differently if you were to wear them.

for me, the most memorable moment is when that rabbit open the "liar" coffin. that is a surprise great chereography

Man I was burnt out as well with the genre and I’m so excited for this game. I haven’t touched any of them since elden ring. I’m very very excited for it.
AC6? Not soulslike but From Soft. It’s gud
@@josephjoy2245 oh yes ac6 absolutely rules.
Game looks great. Too bad I just beat ER (late to the party) and I'm exhausted lol.
@@ModestPavementYou can swing back around on it once it has updates and DLC anyway lol
I loved Bloodborne and DS3. Elden Ring and Sekiro gave up half way thru them. Armored Core 6 is great.
I gotta try Surge. Im mainly excited for The Surges
The demo held me over for an easy 6 hours. I played it twice, and the challenge was always there. Thanks for talking about it. I will definitely be buying this one.
I remember keep advancing through the bosses and wondering whether the devs released the full game by mistake.
@sharif47 that is fair lol, the demo has way more then I think everyone was expecting
Jake’s one of the few VG critics/content creators with the balls to admit he struggles with Soulslike combat. Way too many “git gud” bros out there.
Almost every review I see for these games says "I'm not very good at the game" lol
Yeah i honestly love that. Him and MortismalGaming are both humble about it
I mean, the vast majority of reviewers are pretty good at video games. Of course they would be. Would you be happy if a reviewer gave a game a bad score because they couldn't beat the toturial?
But Jake is literally the soul of "gid gut". It means that you don't have to be good, you gotta get there. That what Jake does is it not?
I think probably the most honest reviewer out there in my opinion
I know it literally just came out but i already feel like it’s so underrated i hope it gets a sequel
The mad lads at round 8 went into making this game with a prior game being an MMO (blessed unleashed), the hurdle was huge and I'm glad to hear they nailed it. I was interested in the title the moment it was announced, mainly because of its aesthetic and atmosphere, I'm usually not a fan of soulslikes, but having played the demo, I'm definitely jumping into this one.

The game is superb, and honestly probably one of my favorite souls like ever. He does so many things, right I feel like it changes enough things from the general gameplay of other souls like to stand out and the mechanical arm feels like it really fits with the theme and doesn’t feel like us just trying to copy other souls like. I am on new game plus and I’ve been playing it on and off the last few days after I beat it but it is honestly super solid and I’m really excited to see where they’re taking the ending or if there’s gonna be some kind of DLC or some thing and there’s still a lot of things that the community hasn’t solved yet that I’m really excited to see the answers to those questions when we figure it out
If there was ever a studio that should catch FromSoftware’s attention it’s Round8. These guys made the best game…if not the only game close to a Bloodborne-like game that hits so many notes almost to perfection.
Thanks!
Thank you for this!!
Thanks for talking more about Lies of P Jake.. been looking forward to this game for awhile. Demo was great & glad to know the full game is too.. i can never get enough of these games i swear lol
Jake’s a champion of gaming entertainment. I see big things for him if he wants it
Huh. Is it just me or right around @4:49 the screen goes black when you talked about the other del Toro's Pinocchio?
The moment I saw the hotel room I was excited to see what he has cooking in the near future.
Would be cool if the studio started doing all the grim tales like this, imagine playing as belle and she’s a beat hunter or something
And all the furniture coming to life as enemies!
Dude this sounds great!
This is actually quite an idea
Bought the game today for €35.99 and deluxe upgrade for €9.99 so a very good deal. It was cheaper this way than buying the deluxe edition for €69.99. I played a little bit, and leveled up to level 14, got my first 2 trophy's and I love the perfect parry system. I also play bloodborne now, and defeated the first 2 bosses and have 2 hunter outfits. The one with the hunters cap, and the one with the tophat. In Elden ring I'm level 125, and did 85% off the bosses before you go to altus plateau. Just Radahn and I can go further with Ranni quest and bosses. At Volcano manor I did 2 missions *technically 3 because I killed Patches his target too". Anyway now it will take awhile before I can go through with that because I have to go to Leyndell to join Bernahl. Also got the key to release dungeater. Anyway I'm doing a completionist run including the dlc,👍. And my canon ending will be dungeaters,. Everyone will suffer.
The onlything i know about Pinnocho is from the disney movie. Im excited to get into the lore of this game.
I keep trying to play these kind of games, and keep bouncing off them totally, but I do love the visual style so it'll be watching a Lets Play for me.
Souls games are like horror games for me, I hate playing them myself but I love watching other people play them. I actually did buy Elden Ring just to support FromSoft but I've never opened it. lol
Git gud
@@RythymBeasteveryone clap for this creature, comedic genius!
@@RythymBeastomg enough with the git gud nonsense. ER's ending was 2 bosses with no checkpoint in between for no reason. Artificially hard.
@@ModestPavement Git gud that boss was ez
Big Fan of Pinocchio since as far as I can recall. The very first book I read. Great Review and looking forward to sinking my teeth into this masterpiece. Alos not a really good Souls Gamer, have ADHD so it's challenging but I will try and push through this one. More of these reviews please @Jake Baldino❤
You are awesome, Jake, and lies of p looks great. I'm excited to play it next week.
I'm so happy that this game turned out good because when I seen the first reveal trailer long before the game ever showed gameplay I knew that it was going to be right up my alley. It did not disappoint I've had a blast playing this game :D
Been loving this game so far. Glad I played the demo though. Knowing the combat mechanics and how important they are made getting past the demo stage in the real game much easier.
I really don't consume game media a lot so I may have heard the name only 2 weeks ago and knew nothing about it bar some glimpses at social media mentions. But saw it sitting in my Gamepass, at a quick 35gb no less and so _Why Not?_ And oh man, it's crazy how much I missed *that.* Love this game.
I love your videos where you talk about the best aspect of the game you loved, but i also would like to listen to your criticism of the game aswell!
If you're someone who likes heavy hitting classes in soulslikes where you can tank some damage, swing big binks (or just greatswords) and prefer a slower paced combat, this game will absolutely crush you. I completed so many different soulslikes, including FromSoftware's games (Sekiro twice which is basically 8 playthroughs), both Nioh games, both Surge games, Ashen, which has an absolutely fucking brutal completion with the DLC and Lies of P absolutely crushes me like no other game did. They've put heavy/slower weapons into the game, but pretty much every elite and boss are designed with fast paced playstyle in mind. The amount of delayed attacks those enemies have or attacks with 0 transparency at all is staggering. Just play with faster, lighter weapons and throwables, playing with heavy type class doesn't reward you at all, unless you're a total freak.
Can’t wait for this game to come out on game pass.
I am glad you liked it. I played the demo and loved it. I wanted to support the game on release, but there are too many games coming out. I think I will be playing this one in late November or December.
One thing id like to put out there, is I'm tired of souls like games, and I wish with all my heart that any studio would make a dynasty warriors/ samurai warriors game that just brings that genre back, because I loved those games before they failed super bad lately.... I miss dynasty warriors, hurts my heart they failed so bad...
Good thing it’s on Gamepass I will be playing this banger!
It would be cool if this spawned a dark fairy tale genre.
if you’re lies of p, then you’re lies with me
There are so many games I want to be playing right now, it’s insane
This game is getting such good reviews it should do well. Pity Lords of the Fallen is coming out early next month and that's what I set my eyes on getting first. I'll get Lies of P some time after.
I knew nothing about it but picked it up on the deck and am having a blast.
Commenting cause my favorite youtuber mentioned my favorite band, love yall both
If it helps, I think the bests words that cover the esthetic that you are enjoying about this games, is baroque architecture with rococo embellishment. I also love this esthetic 😀
Game does look fantastic. I am also not good at souls games but I do like them. They are fascinating games.
I’m almost done playing my first playthrough of DS3 I’m trying to beat it before this game is out because I already have it installed and I just can’t wait to play it. Love the channel!
