Lies of P was highly anticipated for me and it still came through and blew all expectations I had for it...
I'm honestly shocked that this wasn't done sooner because these characters, this story along with the atmosphere and the world all combine perfectly for a true soulslike experience that feels completely new and original, and for me that was a huge relief because that's something that's lacked in mostly all soulslike games leading up to this.
It definitely has it's moments where you can clearly feel it's inspiration but it doesn't rely on it constantly.
The enemies, the bosses, the combat, the looting system, the side quests, the main quests and all in between definitely follow that beloved FromSoftware formula but it does it so well that it feels like something entirely new and i have to give Neowiz Games and Round 8 Studio's props for that because that is not an easy task to pull off.
With that said, Lies of P was a nearly perfect experience for me and will go down as one of my favorites of the year and is without doubt the best non-FromSoftware soulslike game I've ever played...
