"I don't know how I feel about the P organ."
- Elvis, circa 2024
"P Organ?! Are you serious? Ppl are going to laugh at us."
"That's exactly why we should go with it!"
I'll be honest, I thought this game was much easier then sekiro and Bloodborne
P organ in korean sounds like bleeding organ, they didnt think how it should sounds in english 😂
It' s quite nuts that studio that never created anything just casually released the best not Fromsoft souls-borne game. It absolutely swallowed my life for two weeks.
That fact blows my mind, I remember starting-out thinking, this is a very clunky soulslike, probably a mid-level outing, how wrong I was, the game just got better and better, I really loved the combat and the fluidity of the animation transitions.
@@Anonomobot this game studio has cemented itself as one of my favorites and honestly, I cannot wait for the DLC and the sequel
Fun fact, the people that made top hats were commonly called mad hatters because they would inadvertently consume or come into contact with mercury, which was found in the felt they used and this would drive them insane.
I thought mercury was used in the curing of beaver pelts, which were popular to use for 🎩/coats bc of how well they repelled water...
I just asked a 2nd source, & you're 💯 right about that felt, which I didn't realise was derived from pelts. Nice!
I live near Danbury Connecticut and it’s nickname is Hat City because it used to be the hat making capital before it went to shit and a few of the old factories were so mercurial they had to remove all the soil. Their sports teams are all called the Hatters too.
My great great grandmother on my moms side was a Hatter
It applied to the makers of all hats, not only top hats :)
Mercury was used as the hat lining
This game quickly became my favorite game of all time. I loved the story and I appreciated the passion behind it. Excited for future projects
Can't wait for the sequel (if you know you know) This game is amazing, I can only imagine how great the sequel will be when they refine the formula
After Hallowknight this is my fav non-fromsoft Soulslike.
I'm so ready for the dlc and next game, spent way too long playing this when it came out 😅
Dorothy
Worst video game title of all time.
I'm surprised no one ever mentions the heavy masonic themes in this game. Simon Manus being a Simon Magus reference, Trismegistus, Parecelsus... and even Collodi himself was a freemason. The whole "transcending what you are to become something more evolved, beyond even God" is part of their beliefs/philosophy. Hell, the square and compass are everywhere in the game. It's not like it's hidden.
Pointing out Freemasonry in media is so 2015.
Bro who gives a flying fuck about this we are just here to play games and kill bosses and mobs
@@parhamghmUhm no?? Some of us do give a fuck and want to go deeper into the art we consume. Why so mad?
@@parhamghm who this we? We aren't all dipshits that are so brain dead they get mad when someone brings up deeper meanings in art.
@@parhamghm why are you even watching this video then
This game is like the perfect fusion of Bloodborne, American Mcgee's Alice and Nier Replicant. Love it and can't wait for the sequel.
Thank you!! When I played I had I felt hardcore Alice Return to Madness vibes
We'll most likely get a DLC, but I want them to take this concept but use a different fairy tale/story for their next game instead of a direct sequel to Lie of P
Dude the dlc gonna go so hard
@@SirStrugglesAlot They've already confirmed that their next game is going to be Wizard of Oz. They're planning a fairy tale multiverse in a similar style as this game.
@@soral94 Really made me want a remake of that game with Souls style combat and improved mechanics.
Aside from everything, this was the smoothest Soulslike game I've ever played. The performance was so fucking good, smooth like butter
I definitely agree that it is a stand out game performance wise. I remember trying Steelrising and it was a horribly clunky experience.
If we are including Sekiro-likes, then Stellar Blade is the most recent buttery smooth and stylish experience I've had. Incredible game. Excited to see how Wukong will turn out...
Only bad mechanic is the janky looking dodge. Bloodborne had it perfect
Like a criminal undercover.
A UA-camr made a lore video of the Lies of P story. He said you need to read the original story of Pinocchio to understand half of the game story and hidden lores because Lies of P twisted the original story for the game. Most of the NPC and bosses are based of the story book and stuffs that related to the author of the book.
I don't mind reading the book before viewing a film etc. but for some, that's a big ask!
how pretentious
@@dankenstein9462how pretentious for a game based off of Pinocchio to reference Pinocchio?
@@dankenstein9462 dont think you know what that word means buddy
That fucking swamp monster gives me PTSD
I used my partner on my first playthrough. Beat him first try. Thought he was the easiest boss in the game. Barely an inconvenience. Then I played NG+..... my goal was to do my best to defeat every boss without a partner. I was pretty much successful throughout the game minus the swamp monster.... that was almost a full fuking week. I'm not even joking
@@anti-roxas850 I've been using the partners as well, and it's been a lot of fun. Victor was the hardest fight I've experienced so far cuz he killed me and my partner a couple times compared to the others. Well, him and the two mini bosses you fight in Rosa Isabella Street.
That gives you PTSD and not THE DOOR GUARDIAN
Shoutout to just how well this game runs on the Steam Deck. One of the best looking games I’ve seen on it that can still hit 60-90fps, without even needing to set everything to low.
Crazy that a debut studio managed to optimise their game better than most AAA studios.
How is the battery life?
@@xeno4665 Honestly I didn’t notice it to be any more draining than a regular game. A couple of hours at least, although varies depending on whether you’re using the OLED or not
Not sure if you mentioned this, but another fun fact is that when your humanity increases, P will make more audible noise and grunts when dodging and attacking.
im assuming he hated the door guardian so much he just skipped him in the boss section lmao
I wouldn't have remembered that dude, if it wasn't for your comment. If a speedbump was a boss 😪
@@TheAbysswalker fun fact that boss is what made me give up. I was so looking forward to beating the game and then I ran into that boss and just gave up
I love watching reviews of Soulslike games because I am way too bad at them to properly play them. The aesthetic and overall concept of this game seems to fun and I'm glad Elvis enjoyed it for the most part. Also a Wizard of Oz themed sequel seems honestly sick, I'm surprised it hasn't gotten the Alice in Wonderland treatment with a grimdark twist on the same level. Sounds fun!!
definitely worth a try. this game is a masterpiece and while i love the videos of it. playing the game is another experience, the feeling of beating a hard boss, exploring environments, finding unique weapons and items etc. theres a skill gap for sure, but you will eventually learn it!! (then play elden ring and have one of the best gaming experiences of your life) 😊
When I got to the end and they did that Dorothy reveal teaser I was so hype. Idk why. I’m not even the biggest fan of that movie
lies of p was my first souls game, before it i mostly just played fps fames. anyway it was challenging but once it clicked it became the most buttery smooth experience imaginable. maybe it wont click until ng+ or maybe it will just click but if you could definitely give it a try (at launch some of the bosses were much tankier which makes a huge difference but after said some got nerfed the game shouldnt be so daunting anymore 🤷♂️)
@@AcceptableAsGenerallyDecent Elden ring was my first and I was hooked after that. Finished all the from soft games and even played lords of the fallen from last year
Brooo I love this game, gonna watch this vid while eating chicken fingers 🔥🔥🔥
ayoo zanman ?
I’ve downloaded your comment
I'm suspecting that its called Lies of P because its probably a hell of a lot easier to say in for people in Eastern countries.
I think copyright as well
@@DiabloTommaso Of what? Pinocchio is in the public domain, as Elvis said in the video.
Also it just sounds cool and a bit mysterious.)
someone said that its a pun in korean because blood is pronounced pee 🤷♂️
Shudda been puddle of pee, and you d have a personal shower, power of p!
SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVENT PLAYED YET.
lies of p doesnt refer to pinnochio but to paracelsus (he's the one who lied to you about his identity)
Don’t you mean the Mad Hatter🧐
@@AnvilPictures i think he plays the role of the mad hatter but paracelsus is a real life physician and alchemist. Giangio lied about his identity the whole game just to keep close to you cause you're the only one who can find the golden fruit tree (which he needs for finding eternal life). So Lies of P refers to "Lies of Paracelsus" even though we're mislead into thinking its "Lies of Pinocchio"
@@shimik11it could just be a double meaning lol.
YES, HE PLAYED IT! WE WON!
YES FINALLY😫
RAHHHHH (i loved the concept but couldnt watch the gameplay 😭)
@cynical_chai That's a bit of a shame, as it really has its pretty/funny moments, besides the commentary from Eloquent Elvis.
This game was actually my introduction to the soulslike genre... And I fell in love with it. I believe i beat it something like seven times now.
Crazy to be starting off with one of the hardest Souls-likes out there, props to you for that man.
@@snazzyjovialwyrm3314 Thanks man... I saw the first few minutes of a review, saw the aesthetic and the connection to Pinocchio and immediately went on Steam to buy the game. The first run was a struggle, but once the combat clicked I really fell in love with it.
@@CousinsPicturesORG For me, I heard it was "the closest thing we had to Bloodborne on PC" and looked into it. Not necessarily like Bloodborne aside from the victorian aesthetics, but I absolutely fell in love with the steampunk themes and the customizable weapon system that Lies of P has.
@@snazzyjovialwyrm3314 Yeah... The weapon system really adds replayability, and I love how by adding certain upgrades perfect guard can both stagger and damage the enemy - and also get some of your weapon's durability back.
I'm jealous, I wish I could erase the Souls series from my brain so I get to play them all again for the first time lol. Really can't recommend checking out the main Soulsborne series more, all seven of them are some of the best damn games ever made.
Just ordered some more sweet shirts and even threw in a hat to get a mystery shirt thrown in. Thanks again for what ya do Jimmy; and thanks to whoever it was on your team that sent me a code for a small veterans discount. It helps, and makes me feel even better about supporting your endeavors. Keep being real and otherworldly brotherman.
I was under the impression that the game is named Lies of P because the Korean word for blood sounds like the english letter P, and the game was developed by a Korean studio. So its a play on words, like the game could also be called Lies of Blood. I could be wrong though
I think you're right
I didn’t play the game, but I loved watching playthroughs of it! I loved the story of Pinocchio and his friend Romeo.
i didnt know what to think of the game before release , i didnt think the game was for me despite me liking sekiro and the souls series , but god damn i started loving it when i hit my first marionet. BUT GOD DAMN BRO , 2 OF THE LAST BOSSES HAD ME STUCK ON THEM FOR DAYS , YES LAXAXIA SCREW YOU. The weapon system rules ngl , i love the fact that they let you make either the most op combinations or the most useless weapons ever
I'm not sure you mentioned it but I'm almost certain that the nameless puppet is carlo's corpse
This is peak video thumbnail game, very nice
Absolutely loved this game!! I beat it before the first boss patch and holy shit I was stuck on the green puppet eater monster thing for a whole day, same with the nameless puppet, I wanted to give up my heart so many times but I was gonna get the “rise of p” ending on my first play through so I spent hours and then finally beat him! Can’t wait to see what LIES ahead for this game
I started it on day one, blitzed it over a week. did the patch make the boss fight(s) harder?
@@Anonomobot sadly easier.. reduced health on enemies and bosses and made more frequent drops.. still end bosses like lexia, Simon and the nameless puppet are still really tough, especially if you don’t summon a Spector
@@vincentzombi3916 I remember some of those bosses being absolutely brutal but really enjoyable when you beat them, there was an elegance to LOP boss fights that you do not get in most non-fromsoft games. The Walker of Illusions fight I used as a training simulator, a great fight to master the Lies of P parry mechanic.
@@Anonomobot oh that’s awesome you used that boss as training! She kicked my ass so much my first play through, then eventually finally beating her just to fight another boss (corrupted parade master) game gets so hard in the last stages but I absolutely love this game, definitely excited and waiting patiently for the dlc and perhaps the sequel gets announced next year.. hopefully
@@vincentzombi3916 The secret sauce I find with these bosses is just trying to stay alive without actually attacking the boss, learn the dance, understand the points where you can attack. I'm not the most elegant player but this approach seems to get the best results for my playstyle. I've just completed Hollow Knight for the first time & boy do you need to understand how bosses work in that game, a 2d masterpiece.
I finished my first run with 50 technique using only wintry rapier until I got the two dragons sword, that unique parry is so satisfying to execute and Nameless puppet was a breeze using that and puppet string
I love this game unconditionally holy hell finally someone is mentioning it again!
Dude, I agree with every point made. Like, I’m a huge souls/From Soft fan. I agree with all points you made. I had this conversation with a friend about two weeks ago, so watching this was validating.
The dancers curved sword and the acid spear are pretty good, the dancer handle with the live puppet axe blade is probably my favorite weapon to use
Take a shot for everytime Elvis says “bioshock” 😂🥴
for real! though atleast he takes it as a good thing, and not make the game lower cause its inspired by it, which a review should be, still praised the game by it
This was my first soul like game that I ever played and loved it
Awh man that Sekiro arm with Mr.Bean cut in behind 😂😂
Well done
when i saw that you had posted this i was so excited! it brought me back to your bloodborne no death video days!!!
No clue what this is about, but my name’s in the credits, so I’m watching it!
The credits of the game?
@@8bitbit529 Nah, the Patreon list.
Fun fact: If you think the Scrapped Watchman ia a hard boss, go play the demo. You're in for a real fun time.
Nah i think its waaay better that they dont let you costumize your character in this game
Unrelated note:
In the game Perfect Dark there is a alien named Elvis
I felt so anime when i got the timing on the dash attack of the nameless puppet with the dragon katana
OMG ELVIS?!? This was my favoriite game of 2023 😁❤️
the p in ‘lies of p’ actually stands for perfect parry because good luck with those bosses otherwise
I love that you're making a Video on lies of P.
As someone who wasn't experienced in souls games, this game was not the right place to start but I'm glad I powered through it and finished it even if I used sommons most of the time.
Now I can beat most of the earlier bosses in a few tries and even though this game is not as big or expansive as souls games, I love it and it's a great first try by Neowiz.
Elvis hi! It’s Tom! You’re my mother. Happy Mother’s Day!
I love your game related videos!!! I enjoy all of your vids but the Bloodborne no death run + Lore deep dive one is one of my fav, and I really love this too. Hope to see more of these!
Your reviews are all perfect man
This was the most random thing ever and the most orchestrated moment that happened to me. I started watching this alien dude's movie reviews like 1 month ago, maybe 2... and I'm playing Lies of P...this was the last video I would have thought of to pop up on recommended....
Spoilers for lies of P
If you played the game you know that puppets are actually human beings, with their “souls” essentially put into the puppets in the form of ergo, also being the energy source that powers them. So you were a little off at 6:07, when geppetto asks if nameless puppet was gonna destroy the heart it was bc that heart essentially contained Carlo’s soul along with all the ergo he’d collected throughout the game that would let him become a “real boy”.
Also, while it’s obviously assumed that the protagonist is Pinocchio based on the title, P in Lies of P refers to Paracelsus who lies to us the whole game about his motives and is teased to be the next villain
Sick vid as always love your gaming videos they are my favorite(:
The fact you didn't give an 👽/10 scale at the beginning of the review, tells us you are very excited to talk about this Puppet.
It just dawned on me @16:45, with ½ an hour of review to go. So far, so good!
Oh damn this is a welcome surprise upload. I fucking love LoP.
I love these game reviews
I myself would nevrr play this game cause *skill issues* but I really appreciate when people make videos about it and talk about it. It's so beautiful and interesting. Thank you Elvis!! ❤❤❤ I look forward to your next video!!!
When he said the first boss was a bitch I thought "ok that makes sense why I've been stuck on it" now im just sitting here getting clowned on by and alien
LETS GO LIES OF P RECOGNITION!
“It basically looks like modern day California.” As a Californian, I can confirm this is true
this is such a good video! i was laughing so hard at some parts
0:26 what a way to start the video 😂
Laxasia punished my P organ.
So cool that this video dropped right after I got the platinum on Lies of P. I love the video game content Elvis
You should post more Elvis...
the lengh is great, this feels like a sweet spot to me
Lol the thumbnail is so silly - cant wait to see you play this one
Lies of p is a work of art, worthy of praise. But stellar blade really blew it out the water for me personally. Especially music-wise
I can't believe they referenced the Picture of Dorian Gray with the painting of Carlo. I had to read that book in school and it looks like I can't get away from it.
You got something against Oscar Wilde?
@@AnneAslaug No, no, not at all, I do like the book, but now that I read it, I all of a sudden see references to it everywhere, lol.
@@Clone_Zero Maybe not so strange in this time and age were narcisists rearr they ugly heads everywhere...
It’s actually nuts because it implies an even bigger world than just the fairy tales. Like, I never thought classical literature Souls was something I so badly wanted.
This game is actually so perfect!
you should do more game reviews. theyre very detailed and extensive its like stuff no one else talks about :)
Gotta love that they added the hat because of Willy Wonka coming out around that time LMFAO 😂
🎩 mean a lot more than Wonka lol just ask any beaver trapper/mad hatter 😉
Absolutely cannot wait for the future titles! Loved this game.
Maybe a hot take: I really dont like balance changes on games like this after release.
Im glad your doing more gaming videos
Ive been waiting for him to review this game for a while now. I played it and loved it. I know he loves bloodborne and I do as well so i was hoping he was going to play and review this game. It has it's flaws BUT its my up most favorite soulslike game. Thank you for your review.
That "Bear witness" at 10:30 had me in stitches!
This was my first souls like game and let me tell ya!! I died like an unbelievable amount of times on that first clown boss... like a dumb amount! That guy is in my nightmares and having to face him again toward the end was a slap in the face even though I wrecked him that second time pretty easily. After beating him the first time though I pretty much had the rest of the game down pat. I didn't really have much trouble until the swamp creature's second phase. For some reason I couldn't wrap my head around a couple of his moves and then the final with Geppetto's puppet second phase was brutal to me. I think my favorite fight was the lady in white as well! The music and dance was awesome!
I didn't realize this game was on par with the souls games for difficulty. I was always worried that the souls games would be to much for me with the way everyone talks about them but this game was really fun and not too difficult to me after my ridiculous initial learning curve on that first boss. Now I'm looking forward to going back and trying other games of the genre!
This game sent me on a Sekiro replay. I had it on PC, this time I got it on PS5 and just did it from a cold save file. Ended up getting the platinum trophy. Lies of P, I need to do a replay of. I liked it a lot but it also had its moments of hard for the sake of hard.
Also, I want to live in Hotel Krat.
Did you beat the shura ending? If so i need help
@@Noaimassist33 Yeah. Whatcha need?
@@TelenTerror I've beat every other possible boss up until the shura ending. I know that emma is weak to fire but i can't beat isshin
@@Noaimassist33 Learn Isshin's basic swordplay--he paces his swings deliberately, he's slower than Emma so you have to get those deflections right. Be ready for that three-hit combo and that little walk-evasion he does. When he sheathes his sword, back off and run to circle behind him and get a couple hits in. Same deal for the fire wave attack. Alternatively, if you've got the emblems, firecracker him with the Long Spark and punish. Try to get his health down as you can but once he's mid-health bar, try worrying about his posture to build it up. Pop an attack candy if you have to, but don't get greedy for the kill--don't hit him more than twice before going back on defense.
He likes to counter-attack so when he's not vulnerable pop him once so he can block it then start deflecting his counter-attacks to push his posture up.
If you need, take a break for a couple days and come back to it fresh.
@@TelenTerror ok thanks for the wisdom. After i beat sekiro imma try ds3 so that will be fun
Not gunna lie, I have only played Elden ring and watching other souls like game reviews is crazy the amount of shit you get and can do 😂 like wow it’s so overwhelming to me idk how people enjoy these games but I’m glad you do! They look so awesome
24:26 they way the enemy smashed through the door and missed you, he did horse tranquilizer xD
Just started tonight. I’ll be back in a few weeks to watch to video.
Being one hit from killing a boss and dying is the true Soulslike experience.
A thing I feel like this game does even better than Fromsoft is how ever build feels really potent. I know there are basically only 3 builds but all of them feel worth it and strong, with some solid weapon variety and weapon placement so you can get your build going really early on.
Though it hurts my soul that there's not a single elemental boss weapon for the advance builds. But elemental throwables and your legion arm become monstrous on advance builds so I definitely recommend trying an advance build.
ngl i didnt struggle with lies of p as much as i thought i would, it just felt better to me than some other souls likes, especially the parry system
This is a very good non fromsoft game with a lot of respect to the original book! Thanks for looking at it elvis!
Using the voice lines from the guillermo del toro Pinocchio movie is a nice touch absolutely love that movie
cant believe i sat through a 46min video of a game i havent played im go try it and come back what i think of it
It’s clever to say the name Gemini as Jiminy it’s on the nose pun intended
Hell yeah, been waiting for this one!!
Main character (P) is a puppet made by geppeto that looks like his son (Carlo) and after P started being the real boy geppeto made nameless puppet and decided to put P's heart in nameless puppet
The game spoils this with the Romeo boss fight
And that the puppet that you play is actually the Tinman from OZ because what did the TINMAN want a heart.
@@AnvilPicturesP isnt a tinman he is a puppet
I'm still a Bloodbourne Stan, but, Lies of P is the perfect non-fromsoft soulslike. It's really cool. I found myself in a loop though at times.
Played trough the game in release week, since it was in the GamePass on launch.
Absolutely the hardest souls like I played so (at release), they made parry time a bit easier with later patch but at that point I was already through.
Pretty much every boss is a delay-king that baits you into parrying too early and the timeframe is not lenient at all.
Its also essential to learn what you can and cannot parry.
*****Boss mechanic spoiler*****
Later in the game there will be a boss that starts flying in the second phase and shooting lightnig at you. If you perfect parry the lightning you shoot them back
at the boss dealing significant damage. Trying to dodge them is basically rng. So its a difference of basically unavoidable damage or taking out 20% of boss health.
But the game is worth it, for the music alone.
"I particularly love the white lady fight" 😂😂😂
Hi Elvis. Just wanted to say thank you for all the cool content you bring us :D
I think it would be nice if you would stream from time to time some Souls Gameplay.
I Masochist all over the house while playing my favourite game Lies of P ❤❤
I used a summon one time (still died) and once i learned what it was i never used another one. I beat the game with no consumables, throw able items and barely used fabe arts unless i felt i needed to. The only thing i used besides blocking and dodging was the grindstone and legion arms. This game is by far the hardest game I've ever played.
Id only ever played Bloodborne and as soon as i saw the trailer for lies of p, i knew i would love this game, im currently working on my second platinum at the moment (Ps4, Ps5). Cant wait for DLC or a Sequel.
This is one of the best games of all time. I've played it twice and it's so clean, such a great experience, and proves that good soulslike games can be unique while still being a lover letter to the genre. Nothing is ever going to beat the lore and feel of bloodborne for me, but this comes close at times and it's just a great time. Can't wait for the sequel they did such an amazing job with this. I feel completely taken aback by him saying it's too hard. I did not find this as hard as bloodborne. For me, they just force you to figure out timing then the game is so fulfilling feeling. I guess everyone has different experiences 🤷
For the black rabbit brotherhood fight, if you stay far away from the eldest when the little ones spawn in, you can get rid of them before you return to the eldest. Makes the fight more manageable imo.
DUDE! I've been subscribed to you for years and UA-cam has not been showing you in my subscriptions at all for 2 months?! Wtf?
For those observant, Romeo tries to warn P/Carlo about Gepetto's intentions for you in the ending, in the intro to his fight.
Also Romeo's being Carlo's Human friend in his life, hence why P rejecting his friendship and warning angers him so greatly. Considering their history and the fact the Puppet Romeo still retains enough of his old memories to try to befriend P/Carlo once again.
Edit: Anthony Howell voicing Gepetto was a nice touch, especially if you finished Vampyr. Gepetto and Johnathan Reid are very similar in their personality and Anthony plays these deceptive yet charismatic characters absolutely perfectly IMO.
Nice new video!🎉
I absolutely LOVE Lies of P. The game itself is an absolute masterpiece! I absolutely enjoy video games based off Fairy tales. When Lies of P was announced, I was blown away. When the game came out, I JAW DROPPED! Best game ever! Best combat, awesome and memorable characters, and amazing story! Highly recommend it to anyone who loves dark fairy tales, and Lies of P is a love letter to bloodborne, and it's highly accurate to the original pinocchio novel by Carlo Collodi. I also love the developers made this game in dedication to Carlo collodi himself. I can't wait what the DLC brings. 😁🥰
this is a weird direction for the sequel of Life of Pi
Feel for sure is my favorite song of the game
Imma be honest the first black rabbit brotherhood fight didn't feel like a gank fight to me. I focussed on the younger ones and only had to fight three of them at a time once. The eldest tends to stay back and let their younger sibling handle it while occasionally coming in for a few hits
Great watch thanks 👍
