This game is the ultimate souls like experience.
The combat is crisp which is never the case in a From Software game, the graphics and the world building tempts me to keep playing this masterpiece.Hope FS learns from this benchmark.

Lies of P is a Souls-Like game. Which takes place in the Pinocchio world.

The pacing of the game is brilliant. In the intro bosses you can dodge like darksouls and get away with it but after a while the parry mechanic is the better choice however dodge steps are still viable.
In the midgame the diffuculty spikes up and you keep failing the same boss over and over untill you get the attack pattern down and finally defeat him.

The game is very rewarding with the main Perfect Parry mechanic. The gameplay is like any other game souls game hard but rewarding.

The music in Lies of P is amazing and makes the world much more lively that way.

10/10 would recommend the game.

I bought this game to scratch the Soulslike itch I had, but did not expect too much. However, while playing through it, I fell in love with this game. It sometimes feels like playing a fairytale.

While it is the well-known story of Pinocchio, they also do their own thing with this story, which felt refreshing. While, of course, some twists and story arcs you could see coming from far away, it was still entertaining for me.

Gameplay feels great most of the time. Some things feel off, and I felt I had to relearn mechanics just for this boss because the timing was different than what I learned from previous animations. Also, this game throws a lot of game mechanics at you, which might be a bit much for some people. I loved combining them all in the later parts of the game, but in the beginning, I just ignored some of them because there were too many mechanics explained in a short period of time.

The music is beautiful—something you might want to listen to outside the game.

From a graphical standpoint, it looks great and has this fairytale vibe going on. The textures look nice, although I don't care much if a game is in HD or 4K or whatever. It's pretty to look at, and this is enough for me.

Character customization is limited. You can't change the PC since, well, it's Geppetto's puppet, but you can let him wear different outfits and masks.

The difficulty can be tough sometimes, but the game gives you a lot of stuff to help you out when you're stuck on a boss most of the time.

Exploration is limited. You always know where to go. There are some branching paths, but most of them are shortcuts or dead ends with items and stuff, so I never felt lost.

TL;DR: It's a great game. If you enjoy Soulslike games, give this one a try.
