1:49 “camera was sometimes less than helpful”. Nice, a true soulsborne game.

I'm eagerly anticipating the day when you manage to 100% complete a game even before it's officially created!

how the hell are you this efficient when it comes to completing games after they're released good god

I’m really amazed at how well this runs on PC. I haven’t had any frame drops or stutters. This game is fantastic so far and I’m deep in

Mortym, not gonna lie, sometimes I think you are a machine for 100% games.

I must say… I have made props for you and the way that you review games/the effort you put in to really let us know how a game is going to be before we actually buy the title. You do a fantastic job at what you do, and for that we are all extremely thankful to be a subscriber to your channel! Keep up the great work!! 👍🏻

Very helpful review. I appreciate the dedication to getting videos out once you've 100% them. It's very easy to blitz through something and give a moderate view of the experience but you go through everything there is to offer first. Much appreciated for that.

Dev: here is a review copy, would you li- Mort: finished, 100%,🙂. Dev: O_o

Always amazed at your sheer pace, Mortem. One of the best gaming media outlets these days

This is the first one I’m actually flabbergasted that you got it done so quick. Your channel is where I go now for information on new releases.

Dear sir, I'm putting a comment here only to be part of the people who give more chances to the youtube's algorithms to refer to you more often. You are definitively unique. Your reviews show how much of a passionate gamer you are along with your high analysis skills. This gives to people the most in depth and objective opinion we can find on the web and I'm reading about the video game industry and playing since 1984 and read/watched the reviews and previews of hundreds of people since 39 years. I don't know whether you can afford to delay your reviews regarding the impact of having your reviews published as early as possible but I wish you can in order to deliver the best criticism on a video game that can be found whether it's on the web or in paper magazines. Thank you with all my heart. By the way, I don't see the fact that you camera messes up completely when you're pushed into a corner as a default in Lies of P. It's like finding a way to heal during a fight and have some breath to do so. Getting into a corner is a sufficient way for me to take high risks within a fight to avoid it. It's part of the gameplay to avoid it but it's just my humble opinion for having dealt with the maths of 3D camera's movements management. Being cornered is always to be avoided in a game at all costs during fights and it applies to many genres. Again it's personal... Thanks a million again for your videos.

The 100% aspect aside this just was a very comprehensive and well thought out review.

Your review def put this on my radar. Surprisingly good

Thanks for the heads up about the Denovo change. I hate it when company's do this underhanded crap when it comes to informing they're customers if they're adding something on the game right before release after all the reviews say it runs good so for me at least I'm gonna pick it up on a sale.

I am always amazed by how fast you 100% games. I am glad you are getting the recognition you deserve. The amount of work you put into these 100% videos is just insane.

I'm not sure you are actually still enjoying playing all those games, but as a game reviewer for 5+ years on several channels - I want to say that it is a great job and amazing level of efforts. Huge respect!

I was waiting for this one! Can’t wait to play it

Nice one Morty son, I was waiting for this one and you didn’t disappoint as always! Interested to know your plans for Rogue trader, I can’t believe it’s coming out in 2023. What a year!!

I have no idea how Mortismal slams through games so quickly.

I not even made my mind up if I want get this, an you already 100% it. Great content as usual.

So impressed how fast and thorough you do these

On my must-buy list. The demo completely won me over a few months back. I remember the initial screencaps that dropped for this a few years back and thinking... "Please let this one end up being good! This theme and gameplay combination are so perfect together". Glad to see my faith was rewarded lol!

Great video as per usual!

Brother I don't even have to agree with you to respect how professionaly you treat you content. You are playing dozens of games in an astoundingly thorough manner, getting 100% completion on 100+ hour games and putting out very insightful reviews with an opinion of your own and not parroting what the gaming discourse consensus is pushing around. Again, I do agree with your insights most of the time, but I don't even HAVE to agree with you to RESPECT the amount of work you put in. I've seen your channel grow but I somehow feel you deserve more praise to your professionalism. Take care!

I'm loving this game so far. Bloodborne is my all time favorite game and I feel like Lies of P is a love letter to it. Or maybe a tightly written correspondence. The only knock I have is the window for a perfect guard is very tight. Like if you struggled with Sekiro, this game will humble you on the regular. Some of the mini boss mobs have been tougher than the actual boss fights. All and all though, this is a fantastic game and huge props to the devs for actually making a compelling souls like. I hope they end up doing a sequel if this one sells well.

You give Jirard the Completionist a run for his money. 😤😤😤👍👍👍

I absolutely adore this game and will replay it in my rotation of timeless fromsoft games. Excited for more

Great review. Lokking forward getting this game soon. Im new to these types of games but I love a challenge.

Great Review, More reviews should start with Perfomance as yours did.

I just love these games for their difficulty. I have Spend 600h in elden ring and am in General a really bad player, but every boss killed, sometimes even after hundreds of tries gives such a pleasure. In the second the boss is killed, all frustration from before gets converted into pure joy and satisfaction. I just started into this game and am really looking forward. Thank you for your review!

You, SkillUp, & ACG are the only reviewers I put any stock into. You’re an animal for 100% all these games, especially since this year has been so stacked.

Do you script your videos or just record on the fly? I cant get my head around how you get time to 100% and put out half-hour reviews so damn quickly, impressive!

God I’m so excited to play this in the morning. It releases on gamepass at 11am 🎉🎉🎉🎉 great video as well 👌

Easily the best video game reviewer out there and I always look to this channel first when new games come out. Your reviews are spot on!

You 100% a game in 6 days? Im impressed on many levels. Here is 101% for you… MY RESPECT EARNED😂

Great review as always. I am terrible at souls-like games, but I love them anyway for their esthetics, so I keep trying them. I have to say that, so far, I am LOVING this game and I have gotten farther in this game than many I have tried. The look and atmosphere is stunning and the combat is fun and feels really impactful. Also, at least up until the point I have gotten to (I am in part 6 of I think 11), I have found it to be surprisingly friendly for terrible players like me if you are not too prideful to use the fight buddy, but I have been told it gets REALLY hard after this point so I may get stuck here. I also have 25 hours in the game so far when real players can possible complete the whole game in this time. So I don't want to misrepresent this as easy by any means. I went the route of having Advance as my primary damage stat. This has allowed me to switch to slow and fast weapons without losing much damage as I am relying more on the status damage. I also like the fact that it is also improving elemental throwables making them super effective as well. I have been using a shock weapon on the puppets and fire on monsters. I also have an acid weapon that I suspect will be good against something specific too but I am not sure what yet. I also really like the heart modification and weapon modification system (yes I know it's not called a heart but I refuse to use the ridiculous name they gave it). If I were to have a small gripe though is that the game intentionally limits the creativity of weapon and hilt combos by making weapons bad at certain attack types and hilts are locked to specific attack types and you are penalized if they don't match up. For example some weapons are "good" at slashing and "bad" at stabbing, so if you move the weapon to a new hilt that is a stabbing hilt, it does less damage. The penalties always make sense logically, but it does hurt you if you want to make some of the fun and creative combinations the system is capable of.

Great review thank you so much and it made me purchase a month with Gamepass and I am pre installing it as writing this. I like how you present the different aspect of the game split into areas such as crafting, combat, world etc very well done

I’m on my eight play through, level 465 and platinum trophy”d the game. Safe to say this game is in my head for good reasons . Absolutel gem of a game . Can’t wait for the dlc coming down the pipe later this year

You've 100% convinced me to get this game when i was so on the fence about it, i played the heck out of the Demo after this, and im getting this game ASAP! I love this more than Dark Souls, i dont know what it is about this game, but im completely in love with it, ive found my perfect Forever game, Lies of P is a phenomenal game im completely smitten by it, i do not know how this slipped past my radar, if word of mouth sells this game, i implore more people to try it, i seriously do not know why this hasn't been talked about more, the world and lore is breathtaking and im just in awe and mesmerised by it all, with great thanks i thank you Mr Mortismal for bringing this game more so to my attention, and here i am thinking its just another 'souls' game, there so much more to this than what ive realised, wow this games a trip n a half 🤘

Game is running flawless so far on ps5

It makes me so happy when I see reviewers dedicate a small section of their video to Steamdeck performance. I feel like the Steamdeck is almost fully accepted as the "third console" of this console generation. And it fills that spot rather well. It's extremely budget friendly, has easy to use UI, and a great baby's first step into PC gaming. As someone who's balling on a budget but would still like to play the latest games during my free time every now and then, the steamdeck has been a lifesaver. I know not every AAA game that releases works great, but being able to get through Armored Core 6 and now Life of P portably has been amazing. Thanks for the review!

Fantastic detailed review Mort. I loved Lies personally. Absolutely loved the world and weapon system. Loved the combat and customisation. Really loved the hotel hub as well and playing the music and little details like how the cat reacts differently to you depending on how human you are etc. I do feel it was too linear though, Wish it opened up more like dark souls 1 or 2. Also some of the very late game areas were quite dull in comparison to early and mid game. Lastly the enemy variety got a bit repetitive at times. Overall I loved it though. Bring on that dlc!

Great review as always!!

You’re my go to for a lot of reviews man. Keep it up! We all love and appreciate what you do 🎉

Been waiting for ur review on this one. Potential is high but also kinda unknown too

You're the reviewer I go to by default. Because you're always fair and reasonable. And it really matters that you play the whole game. Because sometimes a game that take time to "get going" (or has a steep learning curve) can turn into an incredible experience. Plenty of book are like that too; you have to get through the "blah" before you get to "cant put it down". Thank you.

Ooh that weapon customization sounds cool.

I just started with the game but am very impressed so far. Runs great on PC too.

Is it possible to open the glass cases in the trinity sanctums? Between the triangular chairs? I have attempted to combine multiple equipment pieces in the first sanctum, without success.

You are my new source for reliable reviews.

How is this even possible (early access I know) - seriously though you are a machine and bring out the best content

Thanks for another banger review. Unfortunately if it has denuvo that’s a no for me, I don’t like third party software with more power over my OS than I have.

I always thought this game looked alright, but now I'm pretty excited for it. Seems they added a lot of cool things to the genre

Glad you you really drilled in the emphasis on blocking. This game will punish you hard if you don't master the perfect guard. Yet for some reason a number of other reviews/forum posts have mentioned that they "never really bothered to learn the perfect guard" and then simultaneously rail against the game's "near-impossible" difficulty.

Best reviewer on the block

Performance in this game is so underrated. It can run smoothly on higher settings with a GTX 1650 which is so rare in 2023.

Can u please tell me what that golden stargazer is in the "Path of the Pilgrim" area? (Next to the grave where u get the bunny mark)

I love how you do steam deck review in your reviews :-) I am buying game for both my PC and steam deck and this game with this graphics play at 60 fps on steam deck, i was shocked!

I’m down with linear since Elden Ring felt like too big of a cheeseburger once they gave me a horse and two maps lol

Your Positives/Negatives pretty much line up with me after I put into 16 hours into the game I don't know how you did it but your reviews always accurate and reliable , if you say you have clone yourself to 100% this game it would be a LIE but I won't surprised lol

About to be on ng+ plus. The power pyx guide kinda worries me. Was ng plus a ton harder and more frustrating? Any tips?

Ive only played about 13 hours and im taking my time exploring a bit and going back for side quests but how does one get that sword please?

Questions. -How high is the max upgrade level for special weapons? -What weapons and build did you use, and do you have any favorite combos or special weapons?

Awesome review dude

Dude, your review is awesome. This is how you do a review. Other reviews are just wasting our time.

thanks for the review been thinking about getting this one for a while now, i have 1 question. do you have a review for the first original sin game.

Thanks for telling us about the sly alip of denovo right before release. It's nice that unlike them you don't bury the lead. That shady move alone almost turns me off the game completely

Just by looking I get bioshock infinite vibes with the enemies and a souls game. Can’t wait 2 play

This is what I was waiting for! Mort you legend.

Is there a way to make the HUD smaller? Maybe it’s cause of how close up you are to your character but the icons look huge to me

Will get into it post Starfield and BG completion

I don't think you mentioned how long it took you to beat it. I think that it would be nice of you to mention that too. Nice review +1 subscriber

Can you return games in steam if deNuvo is added post puchase? (yes/no/complicated-mixed/uncertain/dunno)?

Hay I've barely scratched the surface of this game but I'm curious is everything from the original book referenced in this, particularly Monstro, because I'm thinking "belly of the beast" if it's a metaphor or literally in a whale or within the beast of some bleak cathedral, I'm not playing atm while I'm at work but I can't stop thinking about, what is and isn't in the game

You are an an absolute machine of efficiency

I saw this and it reminded me of Vampyr. Vampyr is soo good. The intrigue, ambiance combined with the protagonist struggle is top notch. I can't wait to try this game.

The game runs perfectly on my PS5. I love the flame thrower Legion arm

You are a freakin gaming machine my guy.

Fantastic review!! Earned my sub🔥💪🏻. What build would you recommend for first playthrough (ie, Strength, Dex, Quality or Advance) ?

Cool glad you reviewed this

I forgot that I unlocked the dodge from prone. Thanks for the reminder

6 days and you 100% it. amazing.

Good video!

I’ve heard a lot of praise for this game but I’m far more curious about the angle of how much content the game has to offer and how replayable it is. So as always I really appreciate your reviews, they mean so much more than other content creators where it’s never even clear how much they’ve played.

The story really reminds me much more of "I Robot" than Pinocchio. Something I find super cool.

Bro the rewiew is amazing, the onyl thing i would like to say is , you don't have a pretty high end computer, you got the highest performing gpu out here :D

Are you able to adjust the UI? The visuals look amazing but the hud looks really bad

For me it runs good with a rysen 5700x + RX 590. The only bug this far (~12h) was a small decay water still being there but disapeared after restarting the game.

Great review.

Two of my friends never realized you could re-spec at the coin tree before the sainted statue

Denuvo = they don't get my money. I know some other ppl feel the same, so hopefully more will do the same and they will finally learn this is NOT a fair practice. Thanks for letting us know, great content as always!

Is it easier than Bloodbourne. ? Cause I died 500 times against those 3 ninjas of Yarhnum in Bloodbourne and just quit cause it was too hard

Regarding the souls like comparison. The blocking and parrying is reminiscent of Sekiro. If you like that style of gameplay mechanic. Youll like this

my biggest minor gripes are: 1. the "starting classes'" offensive attribute splits disincentivize you from changing your build later, since you would then be missing 6 points from your main stat. just put those three stats at 10 for all starting classes. 2. some non elemental weapons should have handles with advance scalings added to their already existing scalings, this wouldn't make any difference for people playing with non elemental blades, but advance builds who already only have 3 weapons for more than half the game could at least get some variety from the assembly system. overall i loved playing through the game though.

Lies of P is straight up my favorite Souls Like.

I'm gonna get this thanks :)

Maybe you can do Enclave after 100% or starwars Jedi academy. Great vid.

I remember when this channel was mainly a crpg channel but with rpg videos here and there. Baldurs gate 3 and starfield have done wonders for your channel. Wish to see you at 500k by this time next year if not more

What's the name of the fire sword used in the video ???

You are a god among men. Idk how you platinum all these souls games but it's hella impressive
