Agreed I hated that first mob around the fire and could not get past it. Gave up and came back after Elden ring and loved it. Also dark souls, I said fuck it during zens fortress but eventually came back started again from scratch and really enjoyed it.

Also "return of the obra dinn " very different type of game but just magic

Senuas sacrifice is that specifically about schizophrenia I believe

Yeah I am really enjoying it. Had a great year for soulslikes with lies of P and now this. I am playing on ps5 and performance is pretty good but framerate drops do happen and some areas are pretty rough. I don't really have any problem with the enemy placement except where I am currently stuck fighting 3 mini bosses and a bunch of dogs/ranged attackers in a row which is a bit much. I recently recently replayed all the souls games and think the comparison to ds1 is probably correct but its parry combat is closer to sekiro though not quite as snappy.

Thanks internet person I made it tonight and it was great

Thankyou

Seconding recipe please . It looks so good

Totally agree, it is VERY influenced by the from games but also it's own thing and has extended the soulsborn/sekiro formula in an interesting way with a unique story. I am about an hour from finishing it and was looking at buying the add on but it's just a couple of items so no thanks. But I will totally buy the DLC. It's a fun game and imho the best of the From derivatives by far.

Playing lies of P and highly recommend it if you like soulsbourne games. Combat is a mix of bloodborne's aggression and sekiro's block mechanics. You really can't viably play with a dodge focus, at least until after mid game (where I currently am ) but if this description sounds good to you I would pick it up without hesitation.

Agreed I don't know why it gets so much hate. I mean the poison spitting statue in the dark level is pretty frustrating and the graphics are what you expect from an old game but I had a heap of fun with it.

I loved the rest of the books, think it really picked up in the second and third and is great by the current one. I found it laugh out loud funny in places .I would highly recommend you continue with the series as they just get better and better .

From games all have amazing soundtracks. I just played through everything from demon souls to Elden ring including sekiro and bloodborne and realised they all have amazing, but very different, soundtracks. Most bosses have completely unique soundtracks it's amazing the attention to detail and you miss it if you aren't specifically listening for it .
