People who visit this community regularly probably already know that Lies of P is very near and dear to me. I didn't pay much attention to the game back when it was teased and released since it looked like knock-off Bloodborne and its focus on Pinocchio seemed silly, but I have gotten around to it eventually and can happily claim that it's in my top 3 soulslikes.
For those who have not played the game, the story of the game loosely revolves around the original novel by Carlo Collodi with some minor plot tweaks and reinterpretations of some characters to better fit the narrative. Its setting seems to be heavily inspired by Bloodborne's bleak, thick, dark, and gothic atmosphere, combat mechanics, and speed with a hint of Sekiro mixed in with its high focus on perfect parries and prosthetic arm allowing for dynamic gameplay. Lies of P is the best of both worlds, if you will.
Definitely check the game out if you haven't yet. It might just be the best non-From Software soulslike there currently is. The polish and quality of the game really is a standout - especially for a complete newcomer like Neowiz/Round 8.
I couldn't think of any other game to feature on here, so for the next time: Which Soulslike would you like to see featured next week? An upcoming release? A title many have already played before?
Do let me know!
