In a game like bloodborne I agree but in a game set in medieval fantasy no, armor should have stats since its actually armor not clothing like lies of P or bloodborne.

@@alenezi989a3agree. Wearing a heavy armour should feel different from wearing pure fabric.

Are you serious?

Bro it's the besstt?? Have you ever played sekiro?DS3?ds1? Why are you saying that

Definitely adds to the enjoyment

Agree with what youve said. And will be interesting to see where they take that final bit

Is it good? I start with Elden ring, then Nioh, then Bloodborne now I just started sikiro. I feel this game might be a hugh let down. I need something to play after sikiro.

@@pastormosesmaloney1604 Sekiro is the best game made by From in my opinion but Lies of P is still really good

@@pastormosesmaloney1604 If you want some good soulslike after beating Sekiro then i'd suggest playing "Thymesia" , "Steelrising" . but " Lies of P" is 100x times better than both of these 2

@silvihome6975 I thought bloodborne would be hard to beat but sekiro is awesome. Hard as all he'll. Spent 4 hrs trying to beat a mini boss. Snake eyes something, ended up having to go to youtube. I'm basically stuck in every direction with muni bosses/bosses. Really enjoying the challenge though.

Fuoco?

Blasphemous plays exactly like a metroidvania great game but not really a souls like. No RPG elements since there's no stats or level up, dying makes you lose fervor not exp and in 2 its actually beneficial, the upgrade system is different, the combat doesn't revolve around stamina. Maybe the only similarity is the healing mechanic, otherwise it's a metroidvania through and through, the combat, the map, the backtracking and movement upgrades that allows you to continue progressing or to explore areas you couldn't reach before.

I def agree not easy haha

Great to hear! Yeah looking forward to that stargazer getting some use

💯 Mortal Shell is good too

Thymesia bosses and level design are pretty lacklustre tho.

@@AWY-LO souls on a budget. Recycled 3 biomes if I remember correctly, BUT a good base is there. Mortal Shell is similar (but better bosses except the final)

round 8

Havent played Surge 2 unfortunately as i heard it imrpoved on 1. Played 1 and had fun, but I dont think its as good as LoP by a decent amount

Surge is too slow and clunky. Lords of fallen and surge are made by same devs.

I agree. I would give more credit to Remnant 2 and Nioh 2 for actually innovating on the FromSoft formula. This one did not really introduced anything fundamentally new, it just made minor tweaks to the combat system. I think there is just bias for this game because of the aesthetic. With Bloodborne locked as an exclusive in PS4, people were just so hungry for something with a close-enough feel.

It's free on game pass

Yeah the enemies in this game have long wind ups but fast (or even instant) delivery of attacks, unlike FromSoft’s enemies that have clear attack animations. That’s why many enemies feel very snappy and floaty instead of smooth and weighty like the ones in FromSoft’s souls games.

Itll be interesting to compare them!

It has to compete with Tears of the Kingdom, Baldur’s gate 3, Armored Core 6, and some more. Tough luck

MadLuigi is better

You're not forced to do that. Also, are you not aware of how the speedrunning community have absolutely fucked the souls games, flipped them on their back, and fucked them again?

It looks like lords of the fallen is gonna take that spot but we have to wait another month

Ty for confirm

I agree. I was burned out on souls likes and been playing this non stop. Even Elden ring didn’t grab me like this game.

Dude I was saying the same thing. People gave me so much hate for saying so

Sekiro is considered as Sekiro. It’s more it’s own thing then anything else, the combat in that game is completely unique.

@@Mr.K.dilkington1965 ok

not very much

the footage contains a lot of mid-late game fights and content@@MadLuigi

Lords of the fallen is ass now that it’s come out😭😭

You can counter that with gaurd, perfect gaurd, healing, and upgrading your weapons and skill tree, all of which the bosses can't do.

@@alenezi989a3 Reread my comment because im not talking about guarding parrying or upgrading weapons. Im talking about hitting the boss. you know the thing you do with the attack button .a.k.a R1/RB? Post your footage of you hitting the Eldest of the black rabbit brotherhood boss more than 5 times in one go and see if you dont get punished for it, because i can guarantee you cant but the boss sure can. I dont know about you but a boss that has the same stature as the player character should be bound to the same rules as me. Also im pretty sure the white lady can parry attacks too

@morgannyan2738 so you want to keep wailing on a boss with it just sitting there taking it? God forbid an intimidating boss is difficult. How is hitting the eldest more than 5 times an argument it's a difficult boss you need to find an opening which usually is 1 or 2 hits before you need to start dodging and perrying, the boss would be a joke if he stood there taking 5 hits from my greatsword that is if he survived.

@@alenezi989a3 Notice how in this intimidating boss fight thats about the same size as the player character you find an opening and then get rewarded by hitting the boss with a greatsword as much or more than they can hit you, and they dont just tank it like theyre made out of stone because you know, its actually well designed and fair. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gLSFidmCnayaZIU.html But hey if you want to look at the boss do 360 spins while you wait for your turn to hit them once doing a fraction of the damage they can do to you, and think thats fun be my guest.

​@morgannyan2738 thats why you parry and dodge...who wants to fight a boss that stands there and let's you smack it 5 times or more in a row without punishing you. Sounds like you're wanting an easier game. 2 or 3 hits should be about all you can get on a well designed enemy or boss

No, it isn't.

What sort of crack are you on to even come up with that conclusion? Like really I need to know

@@MaidenlessScrub For starters, compare the boss roster and you'll start to understand

@@mediumbeetle9964 Elden Ring bosses are by far superior. Lore, design, music, moveset, spectacle, voice acting, etc. They are better in pretty much every way

@@MaidenlessScrub I feel the exact opposite, Lies of P beats them in every way. Elden Ring was tacky and the lore is paradoxical the more u look at it. I honestly think you're just jumping on the hate bandwagon cuz u have a hradon for fromsoft, rather than having actually played the game. Hop off that Fromsoft D and open your eyes.

If a game is too different to Fromsoftwere design then why call it a soulslike? This is the greatest soulslike because it feels exactly how a Fromsoftwere game feels while having its own mechanics. Games like Nioh or Remnant are way too different to be called soulslike great games yes but not soulslike. So yes from all the games that tried to imitate the soulslike formula this one in my opinion is the most successful and the most fun to play. Games that are just action rpgs with some soulslike elements are not included.

@@alenezi989a3 seems your interpretation of the word “soulslike” is more “souls exactly”. I’m if the opinion that greatness isn’t based on accuracy in replication is all. To me greatness will carve out independence and create a space for itself.

Thymesia was great. Lies of p is hard for the sake of being able to say it's hard. Look for nerfs to fix this broken game

@outkripper8272 well that's the entire point of the sub genre, the point is to replicate the experience of a souls game but with different setting, world building maybe a different equipment system or leveling system but the whole concept should be the same . in the end it needs to be "souls like" to part of the sub genre, games like Mortal Shell, the Surge, the old and new Lords of the Fallen. And now Lies of P, like can't call a game like hollow knight or blasphemous a "soulslike" because both are Metroidvanias great games and all but they are Metroidvanias. Lies of P while a souls like in entirety it's uniqueness and greatness comes from the fact it implements the concepts very well, the world building is great, the level design is great on bar with Fromsoftwere games, the combat is very responsive and feels just great hit enemies, the art design is great also. Other souls likes fail in these regards because they don't understand what makes souls games so great, Lies of P seems to get it and that's why it's the best soulslike.

@@alenezi989a3 mate, im glad you like the game, that much is clear. However, it seems you have a complete misunderstanding of what "soulslike" means. There is nowhere that says your definition is true, or even close. Every single game you mentioned is without a doubt some degree of a soulslike. Games can have more than one genre applied to them I dont know where you get this idea that its cut and dry one or the other. A simple google search will identify the problems with that arugment. In regard to your personal opinion, I respect your opinion but quite frankly I disagree. I think there isnt much outside of the general theme that this game has to offer that is somehow unique or interesting. Every other game that you mentioned infact is more interesting and more unique as it doesnt try to be a direct clone. There isnt anything wrong of course with being a direct clone, outside of being an inferior version of the original. Lets take for example, your favorite drink. Lets say you figure out the ingredients the drink is made with, and want to make it yourself. I can almost guarantee that you would still prefer the original to the one you make yourself.

I may do a more in depth critique in the future. Definitely has flaws, like I pointed out how for me the strict adherence to souls elements was oftentimes a detriment

I wish it would let you revive at the Spectre summon points, there is no point having to run to the boss after every death.

​@@tanakabaNo run back takes more than 1 min max once you have unlocked shortcuts.

Goated comment

King, Laxasia and Nameless are probably the 3 most fun boss fights from any game from me.

We must be playing different games because all of what you say is alien to me. Maybe it's just a skill issue 🤷‍♂️

Seems more like you desperately need to improve. There is plenty of ergo if you don't die ever 5 mins, my summons do just fine in a boss fight and usually make it to the very end if not all the way through. It doesn't need a patch at all. I've only got to play around 8 or 9 hours of it and I'm already well into the 5th area. Perfect guarding makes this game pretty easy. I'd say Elden Rings combo monster bosses that attack 15 times in a row are much more punishing than this game

@whatplanetareweon2375 I beat the game. I'm working on ending number 2 already. Everything I said is just flat true. Skill has nothing to do with it. The fact is the developers had one credo when making this game. "We must be harder than FromSoft" I was looking at my trophy list and only 12% have made it to the final chapter on ps5. It's in the single digits for beating the game. So your little I didn't have any problems is just bullshit and I name you liar.

@@jrvbamafan1 How can I improve from beating the game? You are lying if you say you have had no problem it because the trophy list says on >10% have actually beaten it. 0% have gotten the platinum.

@ivanenfinger9331 I didn't say I platinumed it but I did beat it. You're judging a games difficulty and completion percentage on a something that hasn't even been out a week yet. Go practice some more instead of crying about difficulty.

Example?

what does hollow knight have to do with this

Troll is troll

which soulslike is better in your opinion then?

Its literally a true statement tho. Obv it sounds a bit grandiose, but its not clickbait when the video defends the view that LoP is *literally* the greatest soulslike up to this point

MadLuigi is right though. Mortal Shell, Thymesia, Steel Rising, Wo Long, etc. Can't fill the void the way Lies of P can for those looking for a "Fromsoft-Souls-Seki-Borne-Rings" experience

too right@@MadLuigi

You have to master parries and know when to dodge. When you mix them up successfully it feels and looks amazing.

like sekiro, games focus on parries not dodge.

Ger the double dodge and ground dodge with quartz, and mix in perfect blocks and parries and it's actually maybe the best of both bloodborne and sekiro. Definitely becomes a dance
