Lies of P

Base game only. Rating: 7.5/10. There’s a lot of great in Lies of P, but some areas of improvement as well. Overall, I recommend this game, but beware of the cons because this game is not a traditional soulslike, in the best and worst of ways at times. Looking forward to the sequel where they’ll hopefully improve on the “bad”. Pros: 1. Music. They cooked with this soundtrack. 2. The setting. The French, Gothic setting is great. 3. Weapons system. It lets you mix blades and handles for all regular, non-boss weapons. 4. Great story. It’s a great reimagining of Pinocchio’s story. We need more of these reimagined stories in gaming. 5. The level design is amazing. Probably tied with Dark Souls 1 and Elden Ring for me. 6. P-Organ skill tree is fantastic and rewarding. 7. The music records in this game are probably my favorite form of collectibles in gaming, up there with AC4: Black Flag’s sea shanties. Often collectibles feel pointless in too many games, this one is not one of them. Cons: 1. The combat. It just never clicked. Even when I tried to think of the block as a block and not a parry. The combat just never felt that smooth and felt too clunky at times. In the soulslike genre where gameplay and combat are king, this is a huge con. 2. Bosses. Most bosses weren’t that interesting/memorable to me. The only bosses I like were Nameless Puppet, Romeo, Laxasia, and White Lady. 3. Ending. The story was great, but the ending I got, Rise of P, was a bit of a letdown. 4. Timed choices. Just why? 5. Lack of variety for regular enemy. 6. Lack of interesting customization options in costumes and headgear.

Хорошая игра, нос почти не вырос

除了战斗手感欠佳 剧情音乐演出都很顶级 人物建模也很美 唯一的遗憾就是没能拯救索菲亚 (˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )っ

excelente musica, chulada de gameplay, te castigan bien bonito si solo atacas por atacar pero vale totalmente la pena, ojala y salga pronto la continuación.

Finished Lies of P + Overture DLC All at Linux. Playing Lies of P and its Overture DLC entirely on Arch Linux has been a flawless experience. Visually, the game is stunning, capturing an extraordinarily detailed Victorian aesthetic fused with clockwork steampunk elements. Beyond its dark visual splendor, the technical execution is immaculate-delivering rock-solid performance and a perfectly smooth gameplay loop without a single stutter. What sets this title apart from its peers is its commitment to active storytelling. Instead of forcing players to piece together cryptic lore fragments as in traditional Souls titles, Lies of P delivers a direct, bittersweet narrative. It reimagines Pinocchio as a tragic fable filled with genuine emotional resonance, high stakes, and deep care for its characters. The developers demonstrated incredible respect for the player's time by integrating thoughtful Quality of Life improvements. Clear UI indicators show when you have enough Ergo to level up, inventory shortcuts streamline usage, and late-game scaling remains smooth. Most notably, upon death during a boss fight, your lost Ergo drops outside the arena door, removing tedious retrieval friction. The gameplay difficulty hits a remarkably satisfying sweet spot - offering a fair yet athletic challenge that continuously rewards mastery. Every zone is packed with hidden details and Easter eggs that reflect the immense passion Round8 Studio poured into the project. As a long-time Dark Souls veteran, I take my hat off to this achievement. Lies of P easily matches FromSoftware's flagship series in quality and surpasses it in key mechanical areas. It is an absolute masterpiece for the genre. Final Score: 10/10 — Chapeau! An absolute triumph and an essential experience for action RPG enthusiasts.
