They nailed pretty much every aspect of what makes a Souls game, they also released a game that was polished without bugs and well optimised and the fact that this game from a dev that like...nobody had heard of AND it was there second game? Incredibly excited to see what Round 8 can do in the future

It's not as if there's zero bugs at all; There are a couple that can sprout up from time to time. However, given the scope of the project compared to how obscure Round 8 are, that's by no means a black mark: If anything, it's actually kind of impressive the game is THAT polished.

@dragonbornexpress5650 yeah, I defintely didn't encounter anything in my playthrough, it's a little grim of the times that a game that works as it should without any major hitches gets such high praise for doing so when it should be the standard, but I think its more impressive given this unknown studio pulled it off

To be honest, I found most of the records that you play in the gramophone to be insufferably 1-dimensional cheesy C-band commercial feely fake music for a game... I honestly had trouble making myself listen through whole songs, but forced myself to do it to gain my Pinocchio's "humanity". But maybe it's because I'm a french speaker and music snob. Even with that being said, the game is 100% masterpiece, I just finished it a couple hours ago and I loved it !

Story is easy to follow, yet you don't get the whole picture unless you read lore materials within the game in the form of news articles, books, letters, and talking to npc etc. For example: you fight a semi conscious carcass in the cave. For some players, it would just have been weird mini boss that spoke right before it died. But if you been reading up on lore, you can understand he was Medoro, dear friend of Alidor(real one), and the journalist who tried to tell the truth about the alchemists.

My personal game of the Year 2023. I did have 0 issues with framerate, no glitches, no sudden frozen screens, flawless and continuous gameplay. Many games these days feel to me "unfinished" and then get patched and patched... after leeching money from customer. The music, the controls, the scenarios, level designs, weapons, endings, replayability, spooky, dark and lovely at the same time. Enemy variety, and so on... Minor complaints and I had a blast at the end. Bought it for PS5, Xbox Series X and PC, same as Elden Ring. My hype was fulfilled with this game for me. ❤

The large amount of throwable items is an interesting point, it has always been one of Fromsoft's lacking aspects, items are so limited or grind intensive people just don't want to use them. Or even if they are unlimited, it requires you to grind spirit emblems like Sekiro.

The best part of throwables is that the Puppet has one HELL of a throwing arm. There is no range limit to them. You can hit Laxasia when she flies up to fire her lightning bolts from the other side of the bridge at the start of phase 2. The devs basically made it so that most of everything you find is absolutely viable. You could make a weaponless run if you wanted to, it would be totally possible with the Legion arm + items.

The weird outlier in Lies of P is the Chain consumable. It's one of the weakest consumables since it's melee and doesn't inflict any status ailment, but it can't be bought, there's only 7 lootable in the game as far as I know, and the only other way to get it is to farm enemies for it. It's a shame that it's so limited since it's really fun to use imo. I almost wanted to do a chain only run, but it seems the only way to do that is with cheat engine lol
@KlockoArt
@KlockoArt 8 ай бұрын
The issue isn't the lack of throwable consumables in fromsoft's titles, it's that the majority of the time said consumables fall off a steep cliff and arent worth using past the early game, if they're useful at all. Lies of P is different because the throwable consumables end up being significantly powerful and can do an incredible amount of damage to enemies. Some even have amazing utility ontop of their great damage that bump up their usefulness, such as the shotput automatically breaking an enemy's posture when their health is flashing white.

Its now my favourite game of the Fromsoft Series and I went back and completed them all with a new found love and respect.

This is one of my favorite games of the year and may very well be my GoTY. Not only is it insanely polished, it actually stands on its own legs as a souls game. It excels at crafting its atmosphere and overall feel, and has a level of spectacle that I wish Fromsoft would do with their games. Though my favorite thing about this game is all the little details and effects, attacks leaving marks on the ground, the hair movement, the lighting, sound design, and effects. Its these kind of little things that truly immerse me in games and is the direction I wish games went instead of graphical fidelity.

This game for me is just purely amazing in its own way. Completely separate from other soulslike games, it's a fun time overall with unique looking NPCs and bosses/enemy's. The world detail and story is very captivating for the user to enjoy and this is not even talking about the weapon building/customization offered for a single playthrough alone! For me this game nails down so many missing things I wanted with FromSoft games and just capitalizes on those areas with great results. I truly feel like they just paved the doorway for a triple-AAA franchise here with how good the reception is with this single game alone. I don't even care if it wins GOTY because it already won A LOT of people over in general. This game truly made a statement, came outta nowhere, and didn't leave no crumbs! I give my experience with this game 10/10 so far! Purely based on how I did not expect this game to be so good with what it offered. For me it's a breath of fresh air :)

While I've only played the Demo of this game personally and watched Max's whole playthrough, I can say that this is my favorite Souls or Bloodbourne inspired game. I love the entire aesthetic of the game *(I especially love the town of Krat, but I also love the whole deal with evil puppets and how they look),* the dark twist on the iconic story of Pinocchio, everything. I'm so glad that Max was able to put this game in its earned spotlight. I just wish people would actually give this game a chance instead of calling it a ripoff, and I can only hope that it gets nominated for *something* for the Game Awards. Calling this game a Souls game is very respectful. I'm actually really excited for what the dev team is cooking up now. Wizard of Oz meets Dark Souls/Bloodbourne, huh...? Sounds interesting! In fact, I'd love to see more iconic pop culture fictional fantasy characters in a Souls/Bloodbourne type of game! I love Max's idea of an Alice in Wonderland game, but I also think Peter Pan would be cool. Anyways, awesome review, Max! So glad you gave this game a chance!

Its quite a Honor to have your game basicly be compared with the games that MADE the genre as big as it is today. And have people say, if you slapped from software on the game we wud believe it. But its not from fromsoftware. Amd thats what makes it REALLY impressive

40 hours later I finally beat the game and for me this game is GOTY 2023 and the soundtracks are amazing. By the end I was able to get 37/43 trophies in this game. So starting NG+ tomorrow to get the last few and going to be using new weapons/build should be fun.

Another small head up: look up the Eugenie story properly. For some reason the game didn't give me the achievement on Steam despite having done both routes of her story to get both records (The "Far Eastern Princess" and "Wolf Part 1"). Could be a Steam bug or finicky detection from the game.

But I got her trophy achievements in my 1st playthrough by telling her the truth and getting that guy with the glasses across from her to decipher that puzzle you get from the hound (after killing him) who was lying about who he was. So read through the puzzle documents after that guy with the glasses unlocks it then go talk with Eugenie and tell her the truth getting me the achievement for her storyline.

There is one detail about this game that most other souls like fail to do that I love. A lot of the time in souls game at certain points of the game you can look into the distance and you can see world, and it makes you go "wow I was there a few hours ago and there's the area i was at before". I noticed this in Lie of P when I was about the to enter the church, and I saw the factory and the town city below. It such a small detail but it adds so much life to the world imo. I don't know if there is other sections like this cause I'm pretty sure i'm only mid way through the game so I guess I'll see

I think what a lot of people forget is that Lies of P is Round8 Studio’s second game. It’s only their second game, yet they were able to capture the Souls formula excellently. They took the best mechanics from multiple FromSoft games and blended them amazingly. All while adding other new gameplay or QOTL features (weapon assembly, quest indicators) Obviously it’s not perfect. Level design could be better, for example. But for a second game? This is insanely impressive. Definitely looking forward to the DLC and their storybook fantasy universe.

There are levels that remind me of the bio shock aesthetic, but beyond that it even has areas that feels like the original RE4. Add the sekiro and bloodbourne like combat on top and it has everything needed to just stay with me for a long time

Been playing Bloodborne for the first time after beating Lies of P since some consider it a spiritual successor to Bloodborne. To me, Lies of P is all the ingredients of Bloodborne distilled down to their best aspects. My favorite parts or Lies of P is the Legion Arms and Weapon Assembly. Their is SO much variety when it comes to combat. The parry windows/frames are tougher than Bloodborne, but it’s super satisfying to eventually get multiple perfect parries on a boss, break their poise, then get a visceral. Every hit feels great in Lies or P.

NG++ adds a 7th level. Though if you want to max everything out, you'll need to go to NG+++ since there aren't enough crystals. You also can't get all of the skills, there will be some that you just can't pick even with a fully filled out P-organ. Though even before you fully fill out the P-organ you'll probably run out of skills to pick since trash-tier ones are the only ones left by then.
