Like some of you I presume, I’ve been playing Lies of P for the first time recently… I took a break from it
Tap for spoiler
(brotherhood pt 2: electric bogaloo were kicking my ass)
to do a little fan art. A messy half baked sketch, but fan art nonetheless :P I couldn’t resist, Geppetto’s puppet is just the cutest kid.
Anyway, I’ve been really enjoying it! the combat I’m loving the most. As a mostly dodge monkey I feared parrying was going to be overwhelming, but the game eases you in very nicely. Maaan I love seeing those red sparks fly! Cool weapon movesets, the arm spices up the playstyle, and the fable arts are fun, but those feel a bit overpowered now, certainly will be very handy in NG+ cycles.
On that note, bosses have not felt super difficult, and I’ve enjoyed most of the fights (swamp monster phase 2 did made me sweat but it’s ok, my favorite so far has been king of puppets …least favorite: the mad clown and probably champion Victor, I struggled with his timings so I just dodged, and it was a bit meh that way)
World design, and vibes are all great of course, a beautiful homage to bloodborne in many ways, while doing it’s own thing… Story wise I like the way they chose to adpapt this classic.
Over all It’s been a pretty tight experience, Lots more good things to say about this game, but I won’t bore you with it, I’m sure everything’s been said ad nauseum. I’ve got some minor nitpicks here and there but nothing major. just wanted to ramble on a bit :D
I think the ps+ subscription only gives access to the base game, so I’m a bit bummed about that.
Anyway, sorry for the mega post if you are playing of have played before I’d love to hear about your experience as well. What you loved, what you didn’t… Just please mark any endgame spoilers :P
