Yeah, not the right fit. Glad people are enjoying it, and it's impressive for a studio's first production.

I imagine some of my distaste stems from an inability to enjoy the game in a vacuum. I can't deny that the source for much of its inspiration presents an unfavorable comparison. Lies of P makes an admirable attempt to engineer its own identity, but it's not convincing enough to dispel the feeling that I'm playing a worse version of something I love.

I'm torn. There's a considerable number of things I definitely don't like about this game. The writing and voice acting is relatively high up on that list.

But I'm five and a half hours in, so it's clearly not all bad. The combat is fun. It's not often I'd say it exceeds "acceptable", but sometimes that's good enough.

Maybe? Gonna sleep on it, see if I actually want to keep playing tomorrow.
