Lies of P

9/10

DLCs rarely get their hooks in me. While I enjoy the add-ons I do play, few reach beyond a reminder that the base game is good and this is more of that – what I’m looking for usually lies in the hopeful sequel. Lies of P’s new Overture DLC, with its $29.99 price tag and a 20+ hour runtime that could comfortably be called an expansion, rips free from the strings of the base game to surprise and delight. It features dozens of new enemies, some with truly wild new attack patterns to master...

Altogether, Lies of P is a stunningly fun Soulslike that works great for both genre newcomers and veterans. Culminating gameplay aspects from those which have come before and combining them with a unique twist on the source material, Lies of P feels as one-of-a-kind as the puppet who wished he could be a real boy that the game is based on.

Lies of P could use some tiny improvements here and there, but even at this stage is stands as an impressive title with an amazing combat system, level design, and replay value.

Lies of P takes a bit to get going but once it does it’s an absolute joy to play. While as challenging as you’d expect from a game channeling Bloodborne, its minor improvements help make the experience ever so slightly more accessible. More importantly, it manages to carve out its own niche and is one of the strongest adaptations of the formula that make games like Bloodborne so revered. And while some aspects of it’s source material don’t translate as well as you’d hope to a video game, Lies of P is a solid action game that’s well worth your time.

Since the release of the instant classic Bloodborne, all the way back in 2014, fans of the game, as well as From Software’s Souls games in general, have constantly been clamoring for more, be it in the shape of a sequel or even a remaster bumping its framerate to 60. That made other studios try to come up with clones, spiritual sequels or love letters to that seminal title. Games like Steelrising, for instance, sure came close, but didn’t particularly stick the landing. One of these title...

Taking inspiration from Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Lies of P leads the pack of FromSoftware imitators. It has an intriguing and arresting world and some brutal, assured combat. With a hollow hero in the middle.

In a sea of weak non-FromSoftware attempts at the Souls formula, Lies of P lands with a bang and raises the bar for all future entries.
