Lies of P
Developer NEOWIZ
Lies of P is a 2023 action role-playing game developed by Neowiz and Nough (formerly Round8 Studio) and published by Neowiz.

The titular "P" refers to protagonist Pinocchio, whom the player controls from a… From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

60 of 144 · most liked firstTL;DR: Excellent soulslike with satisfying combat, great atmosphere, and strong presentation, but the level design is very linear, the first half is too easy, and the story/NPCs/antagonists don’t fully live up to the potential the world sets up. I finished Lies of P in about ~50 hours with 100% completion, without DLC, and overall I recommend it especially if you’re a fan of soulslikes. It’s one of the strongest non-FromSoftware entries in the genre: polished, consistent, and genuinely fun to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this game a lot, but the creator has decided to start hiring Generative AI instead of humans. So I, as an artist, gamer, and human being who likes living without a 40,000 acre data center in my back yard, I will no longer support the creator of any of his works :)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh, that's the creators of Lies of P specifically hiring an AI "artist" to work on their next game 😕

Most call it easy mode but for someone like me who cant play for long its perfectly difficult and balanced. Not only is this game accessible but the story, setting, weapon options and boss designs are incredible and varied! The move sets of each boss has been so much fun to work out, and walking down the (more or less) abandoned streets in between the…

unlabelledView post →This is your reminder that Lies Of P is one of the greatest, if not THE greatest soulslike out there! You will not find a game that comes closer to the magic that Fromsoftware makes. This is a must play for Souls fans!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I finished Lies of P today. The last dungeon of the game was super challenging, dark, and my favorite part of the game. This was a great experience. 9/10 👌🏻

unlabelledView post →Lies of P deserves so much more praise and attention than it got. I truly can't believe this game is as good as it is. Coming from a developer with no experience in the genre and minimal history as a studio this is truly a remarkable accomplishment. The music, the atmosphere, the astonishingly appropriate adaptation of Pinocchio lore. THE COMBAT. Handle-head assembly, grindstones, legion arms, the bosses. This is insanely impressive. The only real Souls-like developer outside of FromSoftware.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I finished Lies of P last night! The true final boss was an absolute adrenaline rush! I love that this game rewards aggression and the combat is fluid. Very fun weapon combinations. The story, characters and atmosphere are inviting and magical. A visual feast and a delightful experience. Loved it! 🦋

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dear diary, Lies of P continues to be a magical and dreamlike experience. This game has become my favorite Soulslike not made by FromSoftware and is a beautiful love letter. The combat is fluid and the visuals are enchanting. I look forward to seeing how this dark tale of Pinocchio ends. 🦋

It's in beta for Archipelago (multiworld randomizer, where I can find someone's Master Sword for Ocarina of Time and someone playing Final Fantasy 1 can find one of my story-progression keys), and I played that a lot.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I realize i am in the minority with this: As someone who has played most FromSoft souls Games as well as Khazan i thought me liking this Game would be a no-brainer. Here are the good and bad Parts: + The Story is excellent and the DLC Story arguably even better, when put together it is better than some of the FromSoft Titles + The World is very nice. Very dark and victorian, fitting for the Themes that the Game covers. However, i really disliked the actual Gameplay compared to almost every…

unlabelledView post →Lies of P is a seriously polished soulslike that surprised me in the best way. The gameplay feels smooth and responsive, making tough fights more satisfying than stressful. The bosses are a blast, challenging without feeling cheap, and super stylish too. If you’re into modern soulslikes, this one’s absolutely worth your time.

Everything is top notch whether it's the boss fights, areas, characters, story, or music. I've completed this game countless times and never got bored even once. The DLC was absolutely god tier too, especially the final boss fight. I genuinely wish I could experience a game like Lies of P for the first time again. This is soulslike perfection, and easily one of my…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I actually refunded Lies of P at first because I just couldn’t get into it and had no intention of continuing. For some reason, Steam kept my refund pending for almost 24 hours. I ended up canceling it and thought, “Alright, I’ll give it one more chance.” I only had around 40 minutes left before reaching the refund limit. And somehow, in those 40 minutes, the game completely clicked for me. I’m genuinely glad Steam didn’t take it away from me. The first hour or two can feel a little slow and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is incredible from top to bottom. I love it. Unfortunately, developers have apparently decided to go down the Generative AI hole, and thus I cannot recommend giving them money if they continue to do this. I am incredibly disappointed in the devs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They cooked with this fight in Lies of P, I am genuinely loving this game so much, this is the best non From Software soulslike game 😮💨
unlabelledView post →yes this is how I'm gonna play the whole Lies of P game
unlabelledView post →Alright. Lies of P is done and dusted. From my perspective, this game does a great job of focusing more on the Bloodborne side of Soulsborne games, with NEOWIZ's own spin on things of course. And actually, the pacing is a bit faster than your typical Soulsborne game. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3662638976 Not to bag on Lords of the Fallen too much here, but playing Lies of P drove home some of the pacing and boss design issues I had with LotF, because where I felt…

This was a huge breath of fresh air that I could genuinely recommend to anyone if they wanted to play a Soulsborne. Difficulty modes may sound like cop out for HARDCORE gamers but it introduces a level of chill to the game that I cannot understate is so useful in it's longevity since all gamers now have an entry point without the steep…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The developers realized that the main audience for Soulslikes was Femboys, so they decided to make a special game for them.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The developers recently put out a job listing for "AI Artist" so, unless you like funding the usage of the planet boiling plagiarism machine, I would pass on anything attached to Neowiz and Round8. This is extra disappointing because I find that the appeal of this game comes, in great part, due to its incredible aesthetics
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game but in its current state i cant recommend the game on steam, you would honestly be better off looking at a console copy to avoid issues the devs have been ignoring all year. Poor frame pacing and shader stutter issues have plagued this game since the launch of the DLC and most of the latest graphics cards seem to be effected, the devs have proven that they are happy to ignore this issue without any kind of acknowledgment that a problem even exists. If you own a 50 series…

unlabelledView post →Lies of P is the best Soulslike I've ever played. It gave me the same feeling I had back in 2011 when I first played Dark Souls. A mysterious interconnected world and challenging combat. At the same time, it carries a strong bloodborne flavour with its fast paced combat, gothic atmosphere, and aggressive playstyle. It doesn't just imitate FromSoft, it captures the magic that made those games unforgettable. The DLC is AMAZING!
