Bought Lies of P last night and made it just past the first boss. I know some folks are comparing it to Bloodborne and I can see why they think that (damn chimney sweeps). I do like the game although I wish the dodge was better. Bloodborne had a sick dodge system and this one isn’t quite there.
Also, quite thrilled to have bought a game on PC that actually works. No major bugs, crashes, etc. which is really how it should be.
Anyone have any thoughts, opinions on the game in general?
I got it yesterday too, and I think it’s fantastic. This is one of the few soulslikes that feels right.
You can tell it’s a love letter to the FromSoft games, made by people who understand what makes them fun: big intimidating bosses, different playstyles to experiment with, largely linear levels with secrets and paths that loop back on top of each other.
The difficulty feels well tuned and challenging. Some bosses have given me a little trouble, so I get to chase that high of “mastering” the fight by the time I beat them. I’m really enjoying it.
