7/10
Lies of P is a very good Soulslike and definitely one of the better games outside of FromSoftware. The atmosphere is fantastic, the setting of Krat is unique, and the combat is satisfying, especially with the weapon customization and parry system.
However, there’s still something missing compared to the actual FromSoftware games. When you put Lies of P next to something like Dark Souls or Elden Ring, you can feel that it doesn’t quite have the same depth, freedom, or sense of discovery. It also relies heavily on ideas that have already been established by Bloodborne and other Souls games, sometimes making it feel a little too derivative.
That said, it’s far from a bad game. It’s a polished and enjoyable Soulslike with plenty of good ideas, but for me it falls short of reaching the level of the games that inspired it.
