I was a little sceptical about the game because while not actively trying to be Bloodborne 2, the media and fans have been hyping it up to be. After trying the demo, I wasn’t really convinced either since the game felt quite clunky to me and the mechanics hadn’t hooked me in.

Now after having jailbroken my PS4 and having given Lies of P another try, I’m actually quite enjoying my time. The mix of bleak atmosphere and colour palette paired with music very reminiscent of Bloodborne, the parry mechanic that reminds me a lot of Sekiro when it comes to boss attacks and their timings, and the new mechanics - like a free heal after dealing enough damage when out of heals - that add a certain quality of life to the genre, makes me enjoy my time quite a lot so far.

Mind you, I’ve only played for around 3h or so, but what I’ve seen so far has been convincing, indeed.

Have you guys given Lies of P a try? What is your opinion on the game? Where would you rank it in your Souls tierlist?

    Ah, you’re right. Still don’t want to give them the “post Denuvo” purchase that they undoubtedly planned for from the beginning.

      That’s alright, but the thing is, this thread is about whether you tried the game and if you liked it or not. To be honest, I don’t think anyone cares whether you purchased it or pirated it (except the pirate-haters).

      I’d say try the game the unofficial way. Sure, it has its flaws, but it is quite decent as well.
