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.

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.

I tried Bloodborne and Dark Souls, but it seemed to me that I needed to play at least 10 hours of the game, before starting the game😅 But I tried the demo of Lies of P, just because the mix of Pinnochio and the kind of steampunk vibes, and I have to admit that I am very impressed with how amazing it looked and how "easy" it was to pick up on the controls.

The demo was insanely good and so polished. Oh and I love that they are using the original Italian, Pinocchio as the influence, not that Disney silliness.

Enjoyed the demo,and it ran at 100fps steady on my old rig,a lot of people will try this one on gamepass and it will do very well i think ,i know it's the most polished game this year at least the demo ran well.

This game sounds incredible, for an individual like myself, I love Souls type games.. it’s so much fun going on those adventures, and having the ability to create phenomenal builds- compare yours to your friends build. A lot of discussions about the lore, arguments about the lore, as well. Lol 😂

So I have been watching this project intensely ever since hearing the premise. It has honestly been my most hyped game in years. 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.

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.

@@brucepreston3927 I'm good with playing it on PS5... I can't keep up with PC gaming, my desktop & monitor gaming days are long behind me 😣

So I just finished Armored Core VI end of August, been playing Starfield since the beginning of September, & I plan on picking up Lies of P & the new Assassins Creed in October. Been a great few months of gaming to say the least, loving it

The item usage animation, the health bars, enemies, environments, this looks like someone brought us Bloodbourne from an alternate dimension. And I love it

I absolutely loved the demo of this and can't wait to play it, I've never been that into "souls like" games before, but this has definitely opened up more gaming opportunities for me, im wanting to go try them all now 😂

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.

definitely try Bloodborne, Sekiro along with dark souls trilogy and demons souls. 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. good luck

They really improved the Mad Donkey fight from the demo. Really felt like a hunter from BB

A never play newest games. Expensive hobby. I neither like souls like, playing them is too frustrating. But everybdetail in this game is so well crafted. Really beautiful. Not many games have this beauty. In my head are: first Devil May Cry, The Order: 1886 and Diablo 4. I guess I will never finish this game, but it's been worth every moment spent in this world. Sounds like I am in love - with a game :)))

I really want to enjoy Souls like games, but goddamn. I tried Dark Souls 2 and I found the gameplay to be frustrating as hell.

Having played Dark Souls series, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Elden Ring, I am well trained for these kind of games.

Thank you for this video man. I keep seeing this game in the store and thinking idk about it but after watching this I think I’m sold 😂

I’m still having a lot of fun with Starfield, but I’ll have to make some room for this one. It looks amazing and I loved playing the demo

Bloodborne was my first FromSoftware game, as they're currently known for after Demon's Soul anyway. Lies Of P reminds of Bloodborne, but doesn't feel quite as punishing, at least early on anyway lol. 9/10 for me.

Just fyi, I know this is late but you do not upgrade blades and handles separately. You upgrade just the blade. Handles are strictly for scaling and move sets.

Thank you for the reviews as always, jake and team!

This tells me exactly what I need to know about this game. Good job yet again.

Loved playing the demo and my god the SIZE of that lil thing! I kept saying “it’s gotta be over now” only to be told “nope play more!” Loved that as it really got me to figure out the combat.

I was super excited for this game and I loved the demo! Glad to hear about the performance being solid and I can't wait to play it.

super excited for this game!! Just beat Bloodborne for the 5th time now and craving a new type of experience!

its really easy to create a short slice of fun gameplay. but you might notice that NO review says anything about the game thats not in the demo, even when using a "review copy". thats because they arent allowed to, because the rest of the game is pretty lacking. from what i understand, its also only about 10 hours long, with just a bare handful of weapons and skins to find.

@@sirhc9538 even dark souls 3 has more fluid combat than this. Saying its a souls like is a stretch. Art style its just an ode to bloodborne but its combat is no where near as fluid as elden ring. Its more like dark souls 2. It did not feel good too me. I think most souls fans will be utterly pissed that its marketed this way.

I love watching these before you buy videos but I’ve had my eye on this one since hearing about it. The got strong bloodborne vibes from it and thou I’m not very good at that game I still play it. The art style is why I really like this game and plan on buying it

I love the game and hope their will soon be a sequel. I also went with Path of the Bastard and do not regret it.

Eventhough I could simply play it through Game Pass, I wanted to support the devs directly, because I loved the demo so much and I'm honestly amazed by what they've created. So I bought the deluxe edition to support them! Looks like we will never get a Bloodborne 2, so this as a spiritual successor will have to suffice :D

I'd rather wait 2-3 more years and get a fully immersive experience than a rush concept.

When lies of p was first announced I knew it was gonna be good. The devs had a really far out idea for a game, but they knew what they wanted and stuck to it to the end. The demo just solidified me being sold on the game. The combat, the animations, the environment, the music, everything was just amazing in only the first 2 sections of the game that the demo lets us play so I knew the game was gonna be awesome

It sucks lol, shitty rip off

I did my first playthrough without ever using a specter or throwables just weapons, amulets, and legion arms, and ended up no damaging two of the bosses the feeling of perfect parry is exhilarating. if you like demon's souls Bloodborne dark souls and so on you'll absolutely LOVE this. without a doubt the best soulslike I've ever played and I've played a lot of them.

I played the demo when it was released, and it just feels like it's a side game from Bloodbourne, which isn't anything bad, it just makes things so much smoother and makes it easier to play.

Damn this is hands down one of the best years for gaming ever.

I was already excited about this game but hearing Jake tell exactly what he thought about it solidified things even more. This why I trust gameranx. They tell exactly what they experienced as well be upfront about any biases they had. I rally don't go anywhere else whe it comes to video game news with the exception of one or two places that focus specifically on one game, i.e., Bellular for WoW stuff.

Honestly the visual style reminds me more of dishonored than bloodborne

I just recently purchased a PS5 and completed God of War Ragnarok 100% complete. I loved the storyline, the graphics, and the game. This is the only game I own, and I am looking to purchase more games. I quit Warcraft because of the aimlessly farming and grinding and cash to play. The game got old and felt like a constant grind and farm machine with no end. I was debating on purchasing Diablo 4 ( I've read D4 is a cash grab and aimlessly farming, no clue) Witcher 3 and Lies of P. Any suggestions, and is Playstation Plus mandatory or worth it?

ngl this was my favorite soulslike game and i loved it, didn't feel unfair and actually makes me very excited to play fromsoftware titles

I was very sceptical about this one. But the gameplay you showed and the later options really opens up the potential that i hadn't seen before. I havent played any souls game, but the different elements from different fromsoft titles was obvious enough in the video. The setting peeks my curiosity and once I have finished BG3, played Stray Gods, put time aside for cyberpunk (again), I will look into playing this for sure! (From what I have seen of starfield, despite space games being my fav go to, it needs a lot of mod god intervention to make it a game i want to play u.u

Play the demo it's like 1 1/2 to 2 hours long

As a souls vet whose beat Darks Souls 3, Elden Ring, and Dark Souls Remastered (each twice), I really love this game. It's probably the best loveletter to Souls games and a solid nod to Miyazaki and his team at Fromsoftware. After playing it for the past two days, I can say, the bosses are solid, challenging, and powered by casual tears (e.g., the Scrapped Watchman made me say a few colorful words and nearly made me throw my controller at the tv), the combat is smooth, and setting is absolutely gorgeous. I totally recommend playing this game.

So many great games this year. It’s a great time to be a gamer!!

Coming back 5 months later and man, what a game. It's just so good. The lore, the weapon crafting, abilities, everything is just perfect for me. Could use a few more outfits but that's about it. Can't wait for the Dorothy game.
