my favorite boss is the nameless puppet. First phase is easy if you can parry but 2nd phase really challenges your parries and reaction time. least favorite is probably the second black rabbit brotherhood fight. The status affects are god awful and the fact that the eldest return and can gank you with the last one is so annoying.

You at least put Fascination in your vid. That makes this vid an A+ already. I hate gank boss fights, so both Brotherhood fights are two of my least favorite. That said, however, the fights are manageable. Not hard to figure out what to do to break down. Now that I think of it, Simon Manus is the one I hate more.

I saw a visual model someone made on Reddit (I think) while I was working on this video, and it really helped me not only understand but actually get better at Sekiro.

Im gonna say that Lies of P did something that Elden Ring lacks. Boss Fights are actually enjoyable. EDIT: I think the developers didn't consider the difficulty of Elden Ring carefully enough; it feels like they took shortcuts to make it challenging. Many bosses rely on repetitive, overly fast attacks that often leave little room for effective dodging. In contrast, other Souls-like games offer more manageable enemy behaviors and attack patterns that allow for strategic anticipation and response.

100% Agreed!

The King of Puppet was a pretty good example of how Lies of P is trying to communicate that not everything can be solved by perfect guarding or dodging. The first phase has incredibly telegraphed attacks, which encourages you to perfect block them, while dodging is kept at a minimum due to the bosses incredibly long sweeping attacks. However, following the second phase, a completely new moveset is brought, the attacks are more aggressive and the boss actively punishes overly defensive behavior by doing a pull attack. This ultimately encourages you to dodge most of the attacks in the second phase, and you realize that by dodging, you have a lot more windows to attack than if you had attempted to perfect dodge (and ultimately lose a portion of your health because of how insanely tight those block windows of the second phase can be).

But the way they are assbled, I cannot put my finger on it but something about it makes the graphics feel dated. Also, their gameplay, despite having depth, feel a bit janky (probably animation issue).

I'm a little baby and I like my games quite linear and clear about what to do. So Lies of P is the perfect souls-like game for me.

I have to admit, this game really grew on me, mechanically and story-wise. That studio really managed to crack the FromSoft formula.

Lies of p did something incredible that most people don't talk about and its really sad. Merging the gaurd/block mechanic (similar to sekiro's deflect) into a souls genre. Souls genre has generally been the same (never played bloodborne so...), the game always was about dodging rather than blocking. Sekiro introduced something that felt like you are really actually fighting the bosses (because of deflect mechanic), rather then souls game felt like you are defeating them using game mechanics. Lies of P, imo, took things one step further. It not only managed to merge a similar system from sekiro but also made it tighter that mixed surprisingly well into souls like combat. If you add block/ or deflect mechanic in a souls game, for example dark souls 3, the game suddenly would become very easy to beat. Because the animations of dark souls 3 bosses were made in mind that players can dodge them or block with shield, thus slower animation. Lies of p, upgraded this by having a tighter timing block system, which resulted in even harder movesets for bosses. Unlike sekiro, you can't spam the block button, where you think you can leave block button if your timing is off, and you pressed block too early, if you leave and press again, you will die in process because the animation for that is not like sekiro and is slow, in sekiro spamming generally did the job. Now if the boss animation were more slower, less brutal you could abuse the block mechanic and feel the game is easy. Round8 took things more further. Even if you understand the block mechanic, you still will be thrown off by enemy attacks and you will see that every enemy is hard, because lies of p was designed by keeping in mind the block mechanic. Even if you master it, you still will feel difficulty spikes. So for that reason, they made bosses with faster movesets to counter block mechanic and push you to limit to use it. Dodging is also possible tho, but its much harder in later game. Devs idea for this game, I think, was to upgrade souls formula in sense that introducing something into souls combat that not only made it harder to master but also introduced bosses having movesets for that. So you block or have a 'parry system' (people like to call it) which is more harder then sekiro's and you have bosses, which are souls like, abusing it. So your only option is too get good. Thus alot of bosses, especially in late game test that mastery of the mechanic you have. This is where it gets controversial, lies of p after patch 1.3 changed that. First you used to struggle in almost every fight because of faster animations, but now only real challenge are handful of bosses. If you don't believe me you can watch a comparison video and play the demo for the difference. In patch 1.3, having slower animations and giving a bit more forgiveness over not perfect blocking (increasing the timing for it) changed the philosophy design for this game. I thought patch 1.2 was enough, because it already tried to change it but 1.3 was overkill.

Waiting for it to go on sale again planning on doing the platinum when I get it 🙏

This game didn't work for me but I am very glad it exists; I think it will inspire others to make something that will work for me :D

How far in did you get? The first hour or so is a bit slow.

@@anthonyrizzo9043 good call! Sekiro took me a few tries as well, but I ended up loving it. Same with DS3. Idk if you got to the scrapped watchman (first real boss, not super far in) but from him on the game really picks up.

Very nice

Also have you commented this before lmfao

Lies of p was the only souls game where I was actually about to get good at and beat half the game whereas other souls games I wasn't able to

Favourite boss fight was Walker of Illusions, a beautiful parry dance that was so rewarding when you won, also loved the nameless puppet another great fight. for whatever reason, I had the most problems with the puppet king but nothing too off putting. What a game, probably the best unknown game I've played. The start was very clunky but as the game opened up so did the combat options. I cant wait to see what they do next. Instant purchase from me.

I didn’t love walker my first time through, but on subsequent playthroughs I ended up really liking her.

it was the first boss i took down without a specter because that was not allowed. i rarely learned how to manage a boss fight in many souls and souls-like games because i got myself online support. here it wasnt possible but i wanted to continue the game. yes, it was really a nice fight and i am proud that i sticked to it. i dream of playing Sekiro one time but I dont know if I will have the nerve.

Looks interesting. So far i have only played trough ER, Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro (relatively new souls gamer still) . Sekiro being my favourite. I wonder if Lies of P is for me

This game is amazing! It simply oozes love from the developers! The Pinocchio references are spot on, though more the 19th century books, not the Disney movie. Combat didnt click with me, until the last boss. After that, decided to get the platinum.

You should do a colony sim game review - Rimworld, Kingdoms and Castles, Oxygen not Included, all that jawn

Rimworlds Medieval Overhaul is a pretty awesome one to try out

Lies of P "that section" for me was the walker of illusion fight. I could not seem to get through it (even though i beat both simon and laxasia first try) Ended up just throwing a ton of consumables at her from the ladder

The only game I've ever given the effort to platinum, and the only game I've ever bothered with the ng+ function. This is legitimately one of the best games I've ever played, I can't wait for the dlc.

lies of P is my game of the year

goated game

Favorite was eldest brother since he forced me to learn to parry rather than just roll/dodge every move. Least favorite was Fuocco, the fight was very underwhelming but it had a cool design at least.

Fuocco's down there for me as well. He's not bad, just a bit lacking as far as I'm considered (especially following the Watchman). I HATED rabbits my first time through, but every time after the first was pretty easy and I came to appreciate them.
