Love seeing new/unfamiliar developers making awesome games. These guys really keep the industry unpredictable and exciting. Can’t wait to dive into this one
On top of that, it is SO nice to see Asian devs (outside of Japan) focusing on some games that aren't purely mobile games. Stellar Blade is (hopefully) another good example coming up!!
@@adrianS005 Yes, it’s not “just another souls like”. You know of another action rpg like this based on Pinocchio with animatronics? And I was more so speaking of unfamiliar developers and the industry as a whole…. as I said. You must be pretty disappointed since every game coming out nowadays is derivative of an earlier title in some way. I guess if any game fits a genre it’s predictable and uninteresting for you?
One of the best Demos I have ever played - multiple hours of content that I couldn't believe just kept going. Made this a day one purchase for me and really happy to hear the full game does not seem to disappoint.
I'm so looking forward to playing this as my first ever Soulslike. The more linear and narrative focus is what convinced me to try it out and I can't wait!
If you want to try one of the souls games that’s truly linear I suggest demon souls and dark souls 3. Very coordinated and linear progression. No overwhelming mechanics. I never thought I’d like souls games, I was glad to be wrong
If you like Dark Souls, this literally feels like it's from the same developer but with better graphics and a story that makes more sense as you go along. It's as close to Dark Souls as you can get. Everything down to the gameplay, leveling options, weapon buffs, and especially combat. The difficulty is like a Dark Souls 3, not Elden Ring. You may spend a couple hours on one boss instead of days. I think it's a greatly balanced game that is fun, challenging, and also has a story that makes you think.
Wait to reach the second half of the game...those hours can easily become days. It is fun but only for people able to let pride aside and accept that dying is part of the process of eventually learn the mechanics.
Fallen inlove in with this game, bloodborne will always be my number 1 game of all time in souldborne universe, but this is creeping up, its combination of games that i love, art style is devil may cry-ish, gameplay wise its mix between bloodborne, sekiro and DMC5 the unique armaments is a combo of sekiro and devil may cry, its so good! The setting is bloodborne with the old victorian style but with all these puppets everywhere and a circus like design it feels like an old resident evil game too. Cant wait for the next project of this dev, love it
im late to the party just got it this week on gamepass. im still on the last boss. at first the game felt clunky but i guess that was just the learning curve talking. now, i am absolutely inloved with the game. sure, it doesnt introduce a new groundbreaking mechanic. tbh i love that it took what works and integrated it together succesfully. red bar regen(bloodborne) red power attacks undodgeble and unblockable(sekiro) guard parry(sekiro) etc. i love it all. the pacing is great, the world building hooks you, heck i was even invested with the side characters. ngl, there were some heart pulling moments too. cant wait to beat the last boss and see if i will play ng+(i never do)
@preciadoalex123 Yep that playstyle doesnt work sadly. Souls games are very methodical, you cant cancel your actions at all (except maybe with some niche thing in game) so you really have to "plan" your moves
@@S-K-log-WI see you’ve commented this same reply on many top comments already, I originally wanted to hear your criticism of the game because criticism is good. But you’re going out of the way to copy paste this in many comments.

honestly as someone who only enjoyed sekiro and elden ring this game feels very dated. FS evolved beyond the basic dark souls formula a while ago and this feels like a step backwards.
1:16 the ability to acknowledge your own short comings in the review of a game is a quality of reviewer that exudes trust in wanting you to have the best experience possible, you dropped this 👑
@@samf.s.7731I feel that way about Balders Gate 3. Even at the lowest difficulty I still suck and die quite a bit but I still love the game and admire the studio that made it. I'm trying to get a lot better at it. 😂 Maybe I can phone a friend lol.
The bosses in this game are extremely hard...its practically unplayable...you want the game to be enjoyable not stressful what were you thinking smh. I been stuck fighting this survivor and lost 20 times, I'm about move on to the next game they don't even offer an easier difficulty they must of been smoking when they made this game. I went back to rouge company lol
I just recently purchased a PS5 and completed God of War Ragnarok 100% complete. I loved the storyline, the graphics, and the game. This is the only game I own, and I am looking to purchase more games. I quit Warcraft because of the aimlessly farming and grinding and cash to play. The game got old and felt like a constant grind and farm machine with no end. I was debating on purchasing Diablo 4 ( I've read D4 is a cash grab and aimlessly farming, no clue) Witcher 3 and Lies of P. Any suggestions, and is Playstation Plus mandatory or worth it?
Played the demo and I FELL IN LOVE with this game, I will absolutely get it, the fact that you're playing as Pinocchio and you meet npcs related to its story is so cool!
This is my first soulslike game. I was very intimidated by it and super scared it was going to be too hard for me. But im on my third playthrough now.😂 I LOVE this game. I love the quick fighting style. I love the story. I love the level design, i love the characters, music, and environments. It instantly became one of my top favorite games.❤
@drankFoD it's pretty difficult but if you're smart about how you level up and your weapon upgrades and learning about boss attack patterns, then it's manageable. These games are all about trial and error. Accept you're going to die many times. Frustration only sets in when no progress is made.
it seems like a beutiful interesting game, sadly me and soul-like game are like water and oil; cause even so i am a rpg fan, soul-like games depends way to much in failure to learn, an as a working gamer my gaming time is quite limited
I've been watching this one ever since it was announced, and it's one that I've really let myself get hyped up for. I'm usually pretty good about tempering my expectations, but something about this game just hits every note for me. The demo was excellent, I'm thrilled that it's getting such a positive response, and I'm so excited to play it in a few days.
@@gameranxTV This game's combat is really REALLY boring. You said "combat is satisfying," but it's very slow, sluggish & lackluster. Did you even play the game? Or are u reading from a script for this video??
Yes I agree it’s the first souls like game I’ve come close to beat. So much fun. Challenging but not to the point where I want to give up. Also Laxasia only took me 3 tries compared to the brotherhood where it took me like 6-8 lol
@clubbizarre dude , elden ring is the best , if u like dark souls game . This could be ur best game . I played god of war .it has nice story but i enjoyed lies of P more because i loove bloodborne dark souls and elden ring
I’ve been waiting for this game to come out since I played the demo. It’s continued to look better and better the more they’ve shown. I think this will end up being a classic.
Yeah it looks really good. I've tried some of the knock off FromSoft games like Nioh/Code Vein/The Surge and none of them really did it for me. This one looks great.
The thing about Nioh is it's really not for the casual player. You can really go deep in the weeds on the theory craft/build crafting front. It's an amazing game if you like having your brain fully engaged to optimize builds for endgame and such.
I played the demo and I was having so much fun I forgot that it wasn't the full game until I beat the last boss for the presentation! I am so hyped for this, great mechanics, fighting styles, sound design, atmostphere, and interesting take on the old classic stories! I won't pre-order brand new but I will pick up a pre own copy at my local gamestop!
i beat the demo 3 times, once for each playstyle, about 18-19 hours in general, love it a lot, i never beat any souls game but this one might become one of my fav games in general because of it's concept and style
@@lepersonnage371i recommend playing sekiro all the way through, tough game but amazing combat and areas, also i would go back and beat any souls game you started because they are very rewarding to beat
There were several games on my wishlist for my birthday and my mom preordered Lies of P and Spiderman for me through gamestop... my first ever phyiscal preorders!
Man, when it comes to this type of game, it really comes down to how intuitive (or potentially counterintuitive) the on-screen combat animations synchronize with the player’s button press/input for critical fundamentals, like parry, block, or dodge. I never complain about challenge or difficulty, as long as whenever I mess up, I can clearly tell why I messed up. Some of these Souls-Like titles provide that immediate feedback to the player very well, while others… do not.
I actually think theres a lot of great themes and interesting lessons in the tale of pinocchio. Pinocchio - as whimsical and lighthearted as it comes across, has a lot of pretty dark implications about our development as humans, and to see a soulslike game embrace that world is very intriguing to me. Ranted a bit there, but yea, will def pick this game up at some point.(there are too many good games coming out soon and im fully enraptured in baldurs gate 3 and armored core 6 atm. But Lies of P is somewhere at the top of my list for new games to play)
Pinocchio is very dark. I mean he was hanged by bandits at one point. He just straight up murders the cricket. Yeah it's whimsical, but it's also very darkly whimsical lol
Enjoyed the demo,and it ran at 100fps steady on my old rig,a lot of people will try this one on gamepass and it will do very well i think ,i know it's the most polished game this year at least the demo ran well.
I like that Jake admits he's not the greatest at these style of games but still wants to try them and have fun regardless. I'm also terrible at soulsborne games but I love the settings and lore so I still want to try and play them, even knowing I am invariably going to hit walls and skill checks. I find the Lies of P very intriguing from a setting standpoint (I mean I dud watch Pinocchio over and over as a little kid) and the reviews and gameplay seem to land on that this is one for longtime genre stalwarts and newcomers alike sounds promising.
I've never played a Souls Game but was very interested in the Pinocchio theme and concept. I played the Demo and became a sweaty gamer for like an hour or two and I really appreciated it and beat the first boss and left me wanting for more because the demo ended with you opening the skill tree. Will be picking up the game soon!
You should definitely explore more soulslike games. It sounds like the whole thing really clicked for you. That doesn't always happen for some gamers when they try to get into soulslikes. There's literally several dozen great games in this style, that I bet you would really love.
@@thebarbaryghostsf been interested in trying out Bloodborne and maybe die a lot in Sekiro lol I'm not a big fantasy:knights fan but the other games seem interesting enough
@@gltterati There's now soulslike for every kind of aesthetic or genre. From the classic low-fantasy of Dark Souls to Sci-Fi wth series like The Surge or the recent Hellpoint (a personal hidden gem fave). Sekiro is an amazing game, but has one of the highest difficulty/learning curves of all of Fromsofts soulslikes. Bloodborne is an excellent next step from Lies of P! That game is very accessible. And is definitely worth your time! Sekiro I also have to note has imho some of fromsofts best world design. Damn this conversation is making me want to replay all of these amazing games!
Awesome. I always wait to order a game after reviews, and I trust you guys to give good honest reviews. Been watching since the Nioh days, and you guys helped me with that as well. No doubt in my mind that I will enjoy this one :)
The demo was insanely good and so polished. Oh and I love that they are using the original Italian, Pinocchio as the influence, not that Disney silliness.
I downloaded and started playing the Demo up to the first boss you fight. I didn't realize it was a Soul-like until I got to him (I've never played one before) so I stopped, mostly to make a solid run of the full game. I'm excited to give it a go, and I think, like mentioned in the video, they style and setting will be plenty to push me past the challenge. Excited to get started on it.
I did the same i never beat the first boss in demo cause i wanted the first time i beat him to be in the full game, Ive finished all souls games, bloodborne, nioh, sekiro and elden ring so im really looking forward to seeing what this game brings
@@AccursedHawk I can never get tired of Bloodborne. It was my first Souls game and will always hold a special place in my heart. I think it’s perfect. I only played through DLC on NG originally so wanted to do it again on NG+ seeing as there’s not much games out right now
@@kiryu_kazuma168 I am currently 1 trophy away from the platinum and that's only because the dreaded chalice dungeons which are a drag to go through lol
Yea same here I’m not a bloodbourne or souls game type of guy but the gameplay videos of this and the graphics look very good. Is the demo still out to play??
Finally been waiting for lies of P since it was announced, more excited to play this than Starfield, no heat thrown at starfield but how people were hyped for starfield mine was for Lies of P😁
I remember thinking "There's no way this game will be good." when it was first announced. Then they dropped the demo and holy shit... Just based on the demo alone it felt like a 10/10 for me. Excited to see what else it has in store.
its really easy to create a short slice of fun gameplay. but you might notice that NO review says anything about the game thats not in the demo, even when using a "review copy". thats because they arent allowed to, because the rest of the game is pretty lacking. from what i understand, its also only about 10 hours long, with just a bare handful of weapons and skins to find.
Dodge can be a bit wonky sometimes but to be fair some (not all) of Souls games feel the same. But I fell in love with the combat, especially being able to do the different combos of weapons. To each their own.
@@sirhc9538 even dark souls 3 has more fluid combat than this. Saying its a souls like is a stretch. Art style its just an ode to bloodborne but its combat is no where near as fluid as elden ring. Its more like dark souls 2. It did not feel good too me. I think most souls fans will be utterly pissed that its marketed this way.
Story, mechanics, design and everything about this game are great, but when it comes to boss fights and enemies the game is aggravating, then again I'm new to this type of game so it could be a skill issue.
This game sounds incredible, for an individual like myself, I love Souls type games.. it’s so much fun going on those adventures, and having the ability to create phenomenal builds- compare yours to your friends build. A lot of discussions about the lore, arguments about the lore, as well. Lol 😂
I've been looking forward to the game since the demo dropped. It's great to hear there are more mechanics and playstyles in the game that we haven't seen yet. I'm still playing Baldur's Gate 3, Starfield, and S ranking the final missions of Armored Core VI though, so I need to find some more gaming time! Maybe I can find a couple more personal relationships to neglect to give me a few more hours per week.
Elden Ring was my first souls like game...so Im giving this one a go too. So far so good but Ill have to do my best not to compare them because Elden was something amazing
Biggest thing to me in these games is the input lag. For some reason these souls games always have atrocious input lag. Sekiro did not have this issue. Goat
I've always wanted to get into these games because I think once I get some sort of hang of it, they'll have some of the best gaming/atmospheric moments you can find. Other than a 5-6 hr attempt at Bloodborne and playing the Souls-lites like Star Wars Jedi or Darksiders 3, I haven't tried these. Well, this demo has me giving it a real attempt now. I was told by an online community that I'd be better off starting with Elden Ring, which is what I'm currently working my way through. Is it resolving all the confusing spec issues, etc.? No not really, but I am picking up some things here and there that I think will help me complete all of the FromSofts one day. I did start Lies of P demo as the far right class for heavy attacks and now in Elden Ring I'm running a Confessor w/ more Dex. I still wish I was able to spec correctly and easily try different classes/attacking types. Still seems like once you spend those souls, you're committing in a too real way.
The style and the little change up in the story of Pinocchio is what is fascinating and what drew me into the game in general. I really think this was a perfect adaptation to the "souls-like" world and can't wait for more if the company makes more content or a new game entirely. I highly recommend this game.
This game despite being great in a lot of ways also has a lot of artificial difficulty. It's twice as difficult as Bloodborne. If you're a casual gamer I don't recommend buying it at full price.
I absolutely loved the demo of this and can't wait to play it, I've never been that into "souls like" games before, but this has definitely opened up more gaming opportunities for me, im wanting to go try them all now 😂
If you want to try the Souls genre after Lies of P, make sure to do the true Soulsbornes first. And by that I mean, those made by FromSoftware itself (Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Demon's Souls). They are still the undisputed kings of the genre they created and these are some of the greatest games of all time.
definitely try Bloodborne, Sekiro along with dark souls trilogy and demons souls. apart from Lies of P ; Thymesia, Steelrising are some of the better souls-likes/souls copycats. but Lies of P is tge best among them tgat are not actual soulsborne games. and if u end uo loving dark souls enough then try "salt and sanctuary" which is basically 2d dark souls. and if u like salt n sanctuary then you can hump into metroidvania genre of rabbithole with toptier games like Hollow knight, Blasphemous 1&2, Afterimage, Ender Lilies, Moonscar etc. good luck
Busy with other games is an understatement…this year has been insane in terms of great games released! Sadly don’t have time to play them all but love that we as gamers have so many options and they are all amazing. I think we are currently living in the golden age of gaming 😎
Bloodborne was my first FromSoftware game, as they're currently known for after Demon's Soul anyway. Lies Of P reminds of Bloodborne, but doesn't feel quite as punishing, at least early on anyway lol. 9/10 for me.
I always trust Jake when it comes to these reviews. As a first attempt in the souls genre, I’m very impressed with the reviews. Neo wiz might have a hit in their hands
I have never been a fan of the souls like games. I tried Bloodborne and Dark Souls, but it seemed to me that I needed to play at least 10 hours of the game, before starting the game😅 But I tried the demo of Lies of P, just because the mix of Pinnochio and the kind of steampunk vibes, and I have to admit that I am very impressed with how amazing it looked and how "easy" it was to pick up on the controls. I am definitely picking up Lies of P when the next pay check comes😀
I thought this game was gonna be really lame but after playing it’s amazing. I feel like it’s casual friendly but also challenging for those who are looking for a challenge
@@JReiAtsu it's harder to perfect block cause it doesn't poise the enemy but the enemy as i remember isn't as hard as sekiro or i just improve my skill lol.
@@MtFoxt yeah, if youve done no charm+demon bell runs this game will probably feel bit easier...when i played the demo the dodge s were so little, and the the parry timing is super strict
Thank you for this. I was starting to feel like Lies was falling under the radar with the likes of Zelda abd Starfield so its great to get an early reaction to this. Please oh please when Stellar Blade releases, please do a Before You Buy on Stellar. That and Wukong are my most anticipated games right now... I'm they're both magnificent when they come out. Please please please look into Stellar Blade, thanks and keep up the amazing work
like this game is awesome allows u to use items and things freely without feeling punished. also the entire story and atomosphere is fantastic. would recommend. Never give up .
I just recently purchased a PS5 and completed God of War Ragnarok 100% complete. I loved the storyline, the graphics, and the game. This is the only game I own, and I am looking to purchase more games. I quit Warcraft because of the aimlessly farming and grinding and cash to play. The game got old and felt like a constant grind and farm machine with no end. I was debating on purchasing Diablo 4 ( I've read D4 is a cash grab and aimlessly farming, no clue) Witcher 3 and Lies of P. Any suggestions, and is Playstation Plus mandatory or worth it?
For those who didn't play the demo: The deflection works like Sekiro's, it doesn't disbalance the enemy for a riposte like in BB. Standard block: recoverable hp loss (easy but costly) Perfect guard: no hp loss and build enemy's nonvisible stagger meter. eg. When the Watchman boss does a chain attack, chain deflections are needed. This is the core part of the game and everything else is built around it. The nerfed roll during lock on is to encourage deflection.
Yeah you are right, it's very, very similar to Sekiro. You have to play aggressively and nail those deflections, as opposed to dodging and patiently waiting for an opening.
Yeah at first they nerfed the dodge so it makes everyone have to master parrying. A 'one way to play' style. Thankfully they changed that mindset and made the dodge viable. A useless dodge is a waste of a button.
When lies of p was first announced I knew it was gonna be good. The devs had a really far out idea for a game, but they knew what they wanted and stuck to it to the end. The demo just solidified me being sold on the game. The combat, the animations, the environment, the music, everything was just amazing in only the first 2 sections of the game that the demo lets us play so I knew the game was gonna be awesome
So I have been watching this project intensely ever since hearing the premise. It has honestly been my most hyped game in years. As soon as the demo came out I went through it 4 different times with completely different builds, putting 7 hours into it. When the 72 hour early access started, i was ready. Now have 12 hours in the game and I can honestly say it is now one of my all time favorites. The setting, the style, the gameplay, the characters…..all of it is so insanely charming and interesting. I am praying this kind of gothic retelling becomes more popular cause I feel like they struck gold here. So far, definitely my game of the year.

Just fyi, I know this is late but you do not upgrade blades and handles separately. You upgrade just the blade. Handles are strictly for scaling and move sets.
The item usage animation, the health bars, enemies, environments, this looks like someone brought us Bloodbourne from an alternate dimension. And I love it
Honestly speaking I think that Lies of P is super easier than other souls likes. And I don't think it's something bad , actually I think that this is the best newbie friendly souls like that isn't too easy but it's not that hard either. I still have half of the game left but I'm really enjoying it and I'm still in awe that such small and unknown South Korean studio did such a fantastic job.
I really like all the systems in this game, it's constantly throwing stuff at you. I really like Lies of P. If you are a souls fan this is a must! I love the victorian/gothic/steampunk vibes, like jake said its stands on its own merit but this is the closest we have come to next gen bloodborne.
This game is way too difficult , I can't even past the first big boss . Totally regret buying this on the PlayStation store . They should at least made it so you can set the difficulty level . A million times the same level just to build up some strength is absolutely ridiculous
Im not sure what you're struggling with. The 1st boss is lsnt too bad. I'd suggest working on your parry and make sure you're paying attention to your stamina if this is your first souls like game.

honestly as someone who only enjoyed sekiro and elden ring this game feels very dated. FS evolved beyond the basic dark souls formula a while ago and this feels like a step backwards.
1:16 the ability to acknowledge your own short comings in the review of a game is a quality of reviewer that exudes trust in wanting you to have the best experience possible, you dropped this 👑
If someone says "I suck at it" and "it's a great game" NGL I am more likely to trust their review.
Elden Ring is a great game, which I suck at. 😅
@@samf.s.7731I feel that way about Balders Gate 3. Even at the lowest difficulty I still suck and die quite a bit but I still love the game and admire the studio that made it. I'm trying to get a lot better at it. 😂 Maybe I can phone a friend lol.
The bosses in this game are extremely hard...its practically unplayable...you want the game to be enjoyable not stressful what were you thinking smh. I been stuck fighting this survivor and lost 20 times, I'm about move on to the next game they don't even offer an easier difficulty they must of been smoking when they made this game. I went back to rouge company lol
I just recently purchased a PS5 and completed God of War Ragnarok 100% complete. I loved the storyline, the graphics, and the game. This is the only game I own, and I am looking to purchase more games.
I quit Warcraft because of the aimlessly farming and grinding and cash to play. The game got old and felt like a constant grind and farm machine with no end. I was debating on purchasing Diablo 4 ( I've read D4 is a cash grab and aimlessly farming, no clue) Witcher 3 and Lies of P. Any suggestions, and is Playstation Plus mandatory or worth it?
The Pinocchio angle is very creative for this type of game. Happy to hear that it turned out good, can’t wait to get it into my hands.

I'm a real boy, born with a soul - soulsborne!
Lies of Pinocchio 😂👌
No Tom Hanks in this
Saw nothing Pinocchio-ish there, except of naming here and there. Anyone?
Pinocchio Souls: Prepare to Lie
my favorite part of this game is when P says “it’s lying time” and Ps all over the place
lmao
That part had me on the edge of my seat in anticipation.
One of the lines of all time.
Seminal moment
This has aroused my P organ
Played the demo and I FELL IN LOVE with this game, I will absolutely get it, the fact that you're playing as Pinocchio and you meet npcs related to its story is so cool!
👍🏼
This is my first soulslike game. I was very intimidated by it and super scared it was going to be too hard for me.
But im on my third playthrough now.😂
I LOVE this game. I love the quick fighting style. I love the story. I love the level design, i love the characters, music, and environments.
It instantly became one of my top favorite games.❤
I highly recommend you try out the other games esspecially bloodborne ill think you will love them as well
@@crazyarin9594
I've already been considering it, my friend.
😂
@@gracekami4655dont just consider. play it. Bloodborne is s masterpiece. I still think its the best fromsoft game.
How difficult is it overall
@drankFoD
it's pretty difficult but if you're smart about how you level up and your weapon upgrades and learning about boss attack patterns, then it's manageable. These games are all about trial and error. Accept you're going to die many times. Frustration only sets in when no progress is made.
it seems like a beutiful interesting game, sadly me and soul-like game are like water and oil; cause even so i am a rpg fan, soul-like games depends way to much in failure to learn, an as a working gamer my gaming time is quite limited
I've been watching this one ever since it was announced, and it's one that I've really let myself get hyped up for. I'm usually pretty good about tempering my expectations, but something about this game just hits every note for me. The demo was excellent, I'm thrilled that it's getting such a positive response, and I'm so excited to play it in a few days.
👍🏼
@@S-K-log-Wwhat are your reasons for saying this? Any specific criticism?
@@dirtface1274 probably not because I have about 8 hours of playtime so far and I've been really enjoying it.
@@gameranxTV This game's combat is really REALLY boring. You said "combat is satisfying," but it's very slow, sluggish & lackluster. Did you even play the game? Or are u reading from a script for this video??
Thank you for the before you buy :D I can’t wait for this game to come out!
thanks for watching it!
Don't have to buy, is on gamepass 🙂
This month is the best month for the gamepass.
@@GibbonStreetif only lords of the fallen came as well best 3 months ever
The real funny thing is that this is the 4th Pinocchio adaptation we're getting in two years.
I completed the game . And i can say this is the best game iv played this year . Worth every penny !
I completed the game too, I'm on my seccond walkthrough and now the story seems completely amazing. I want a sequel.
Yes I agree it’s the first souls like game I’ve come close to beat. So much fun. Challenging but not to the point where I want to give up. Also Laxasia only took me 3 tries compared to the brotherhood where it took me like 6-8 lol
better than elden ring and gow ragnarök ??? because i can already not decide between those 2
@clubbizarre dude , elden ring is the best , if u like dark souls game . This could be ur best game . I played god of war .it has nice story but i enjoyed lies of P more because i loove bloodborne dark souls and elden ring
@@clubbizarredefinitely not better than Elden ring, but better than bloodborne
I’ve been waiting for this game to come out since I played the demo. It’s continued to look better and better the more they’ve shown. I think this will end up being a classic.
Yeah it looks really good. I've tried some of the knock off FromSoft games like Nioh/Code Vein/The Surge and none of them really did it for me. This one looks great.
@@grizzlywhisker I’ve tried those three too and just the demo of Lies of P crushes those imo
Might grab this one also. It looks... "promising". (see what I did there?)
The thing about Nioh is it's really not for the casual player. You can really go deep in the weeds on the theory craft/build crafting front. It's an amazing game if you like having your brain fully engaged to optimize builds for endgame and such.
I will buy this on sale in about 6 months.
I played the demo and I was having so much fun I forgot that it wasn't the full game until I beat the last boss for the presentation! I am so hyped for this, great mechanics, fighting styles, sound design, atmostphere, and interesting take on the old classic stories! I won't pre-order brand new but I will pick up a pre own copy at my local gamestop!
if you have game pass, it will be available on day 1
i beat the demo 3 times, once for each playstyle, about 18-19 hours in general, love it a lot, i never beat any souls game but this one might become one of my fav games in general because of it's concept and style
@@lepersonnage371i recommend playing sekiro all the way through, tough game but amazing combat and areas, also i would go back and beat any souls game you started because they are very rewarding to beat

Man, when it comes to this type of game, it really comes down to how intuitive (or potentially counterintuitive) the on-screen combat animations synchronize with the player’s button press/input for critical fundamentals, like parry, block, or dodge. I never complain about challenge or difficulty, as long as whenever I mess up, I can clearly tell why I messed up. Some of these Souls-Like titles provide that immediate feedback to the player very well, while others… do not.
And does LoP do that?
@@obi-twokenobi9914no
@Scribeintheink what?
@Scribeintheink what?
I can't tell if you think LoP is one of those games or not 😂
I actually think theres a lot of great themes and interesting lessons in the tale of pinocchio. Pinocchio - as whimsical and lighthearted as it comes across, has a lot of pretty dark implications about our development as humans, and to see a soulslike game embrace that world is very intriguing to me. Ranted a bit there, but yea, will def pick this game up at some point.(there are too many good games coming out soon and im fully enraptured in baldurs gate 3 and armored core 6 atm. But Lies of P is somewhere at the top of my list for new games to play)
Pinocchio is very dark. I mean he was hanged by bandits at one point. He just straight up murders the cricket. Yeah it's whimsical, but it's also very darkly whimsical lol
Played the demo and it was fun. Love how they look Pinocchio and twisted it into something new and awesome
Enjoyed the demo,and it ran at 100fps steady on my old rig,a lot of people will try this one on gamepass and it will do very well i think ,i know it's the most polished game this year at least the demo ran well.
I like that Jake admits he's not the greatest at these style of games but still wants to try them and have fun regardless. I'm also terrible at soulsborne games but I love the settings and lore so I still want to try and play them, even knowing I am invariably going to hit walls and skill checks. I find the Lies of P very intriguing from a setting standpoint (I mean I dud watch Pinocchio over and over as a little kid) and the reviews and gameplay seem to land on that this is one for longtime genre stalwarts and newcomers alike sounds promising.
I've never played a Souls Game but was very interested in the Pinocchio theme and concept. I played the Demo and became a sweaty gamer for like an hour or two and I really appreciated it and beat the first boss and left me wanting for more because the demo ended with you opening the skill tree. Will be picking up the game soon!
You should definitely explore more soulslike games. It sounds like the whole thing really clicked for you. That doesn't always happen for some gamers when they try to get into soulslikes. There's literally several dozen great games in this style, that I bet you would really love.
There's two bosses in the demo. Puppet master and the big giant Electric puppet
@@madsweeney8931 yes I did finish the demo. Right there's the intro boss, the donkey and that giant police puppet!
@@thebarbaryghostsf been interested in trying out Bloodborne and maybe die a lot in Sekiro lol I'm not a big fantasy:knights fan but the other games seem interesting enough
@@gltterati There's now soulslike for every kind of aesthetic or genre. From the classic low-fantasy of Dark Souls to Sci-Fi wth series like The Surge or the recent Hellpoint (a personal hidden gem fave). Sekiro is an amazing game, but has one of the highest difficulty/learning curves of all of Fromsofts soulslikes.
Bloodborne is an excellent next step from Lies of P! That game is very accessible. And is definitely worth your time! Sekiro I also have to note has imho some of fromsofts best world design. Damn this conversation is making me want to replay all of these amazing games!
Awesome. I always wait to order a game after reviews, and I trust you guys to give good honest reviews. Been watching since the Nioh days, and you guys helped me with that as well. No doubt in my mind that I will enjoy this one :)
Was a big blood borne fan and this looks like it could scratch that itch. Thanks for the review guys!
thanks for watching it! hope you have fun
Blood borne was my REAL intro. Shyt was fire
I will never understand whats the point of a dodge button if you always take damage anyways ruins games for me.
Same
Not the case with this game 🤓
The whole point of the dodge is to not take damage….
The demo was insanely good and so polished. Oh and I love that they are using the original Italian, Pinocchio as the influence, not that Disney silliness.
I was really looking forward to this one. Thanks GR crew. ❤
thanks for checking it out
I downloaded and started playing the Demo up to the first boss you fight. I didn't realize it was a Soul-like until I got to him (I've never played one before) so I stopped, mostly to make a solid run of the full game. I'm excited to give it a go, and I think, like mentioned in the video, they style and setting will be plenty to push me past the challenge. Excited to get started on it.
I did the same i never beat the first boss in demo cause i wanted the first time i beat him to be in the full game, Ive finished all souls games, bloodborne, nioh, sekiro and elden ring so im really looking forward to seeing what this game brings
Well if you like this game you should try DS3, bloodborne or elden ring. It's not exactly the same but it's still a souls like.
Starring Timothee Chalamet!
The closest thing we will get to a 60 fps update for blood borne
for real
This game was too hard for me so I uninstalled it 😭
Did you not realize what a soulslike is?
@@bearpoop720maybe he haven’t tried one before?
super excited for this game!! Just beat Bloodborne for the 5th time now and craving a new type of experience!

@@AccursedHawk I can never get tired of Bloodborne. It was my first Souls game and will always hold a special place in my heart. I think it’s perfect. I only played through DLC on NG originally so wanted to do it again on NG+ seeing as there’s not much games out right now
@@kiryu_kazuma168 I am currently 1 trophy away from the platinum and that's only because the dreaded chalice dungeons which are a drag to go through lol

Holy shit the game was so good. I actually cant believe how good it was
Same
Not the kind of genre that I play, but after I played the demo, it left me wanting more
Responses like yours make me feel so glad that demos are back again!
Yea same here I’m not a bloodbourne or souls game type of guy but the gameplay videos of this and the graphics look very good. Is the demo still out to play??
@@zzirfamo24yes, you can still download it
@@TheUltimateHacker007 They removed the demo from all storefronts, you can't download it anymore
Just too much great AAA games this year. Best year for games, if you ask me.
👍🏼
Finally been waiting for lies of P since it was announced, more excited to play this than Starfield, no heat thrown at starfield but how people were hyped for starfield mine was for Lies of P😁
I'm so glad this game is not a flop
Playing it now. It's a beautiful game and very challenging. The amount of customization is no joke. There's a lot of cool builds you can make.
I'm not a soulslike fan, but after watching this review coupled with the artstyle of the game, I'm actually interested in experiencing it.
I felt that way when Bloodborne came out
been looking forward to this game!
I remember thinking "There's no way this game will be good." when it was first announced. Then they dropped the demo and holy shit... Just based on the demo alone it felt like a 10/10 for me. Excited to see what else it has in store.
its really easy to create a short slice of fun gameplay. but you might notice that NO review says anything about the game thats not in the demo, even when using a "review copy". thats because they arent allowed to, because the rest of the game is pretty lacking. from what i understand, its also only about 10 hours long, with just a bare handful of weapons and skins to find.
I dunno the dodge felt really bad imo
@@Walamonga1313yep dodge and combat felt janky af.
Dodge can be a bit wonky sometimes but to be fair some (not all) of Souls games feel the same. But I fell in love with the combat, especially being able to do the different combos of weapons. To each their own.
@@sirhc9538 even dark souls 3 has more fluid combat than this. Saying its a souls like is a stretch. Art style its just an ode to bloodborne but its combat is no where near as fluid as elden ring. Its more like dark souls 2. It did not feel good too me. I think most souls fans will be utterly pissed that its marketed this way.
Story, mechanics, design and everything about this game are great, but when it comes to boss fights and enemies the game is aggravating, then again I'm new to this type of game so it could be a skill issue.
Game of the year contender for me. Its that good. Scratches that bloodborne/sekiro itch very well.
This game sounds incredible, for an individual like myself, I love Souls type games.. it’s so much fun going on those adventures, and having the ability to create phenomenal builds- compare yours to your friends build. A lot of discussions about the lore, arguments about the lore, as well. Lol 😂
I've been looking forward to the game since the demo dropped. It's great to hear there are more mechanics and playstyles in the game that we haven't seen yet. I'm still playing Baldur's Gate 3, Starfield, and S ranking the final missions of Armored Core VI though, so I need to find some more gaming time! Maybe I can find a couple more personal relationships to neglect to give me a few more hours per week.
I’m only 5ish hours in (one sitting, yes I played the demo) and I am absolutely loving it. This is only my second “soulslike” after elden ring
Elden Ring was my first souls like game...so Im giving this one a go too. So far so good but Ill have to do my best not to compare them because Elden was something amazing
@@2muchReality7venElden mid
@denboix7524 😂Be gone. Elden checked all boxes of Amazing game.
is anyone else really put off by a game when it has mechanical enemies
Biggest thing to me in these games is the input lag. For some reason these souls games always have atrocious input lag. Sekiro did not have this issue. Goat
I've always wanted to get into these games because I think once I get some sort of hang of it, they'll have some of the best gaming/atmospheric moments you can find. Other than a 5-6 hr attempt at Bloodborne and playing the Souls-lites like Star Wars Jedi or Darksiders 3, I haven't tried these. Well, this demo has me giving it a real attempt now.
I was told by an online community that I'd be better off starting with Elden Ring, which is what I'm currently working my way through. Is it resolving all the confusing spec issues, etc.? No not really, but I am picking up some things here and there that I think will help me complete all of the FromSofts one day.
I did start Lies of P demo as the far right class for heavy attacks and now in Elden Ring I'm running a Confessor w/ more Dex. I still wish I was able to spec correctly and easily try different classes/attacking types. Still seems like once you spend those souls, you're committing in a too real way.
Actually, you can completely reallocate your Attributes in Elden Ring.
Thank you for this video man. I keep seeing this game in the store and thinking idk about it but after watching this I think I’m sold 😂
The style and the little change up in the story of Pinocchio is what is fascinating and what drew me into the game in general. I really think this was a perfect adaptation to the "souls-like" world and can't wait for more if the company makes more content or a new game entirely. I highly recommend this game.
This game despite being great in a lot of ways also has a lot of artificial difficulty. It's twice as difficult as Bloodborne. If you're a casual gamer I don't recommend buying it at full price.
Playing it right now, it’s a damn good game
I absolutely loved the demo of this and can't wait to play it, I've never been that into "souls like" games before, but this has definitely opened up more gaming opportunities for me, im wanting to go try them all now 😂
👍🏼
If you want to try the Souls genre after Lies of P, make sure to do the true Soulsbornes first. And by that I mean, those made by FromSoftware itself (Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Demon's Souls). They are still the undisputed kings of the genre they created and these are some of the greatest games of all time.
absolutepy try sekiro, it's has the GREATEST combat system of all time!
definitely try Bloodborne, Sekiro along with dark souls trilogy and demons souls.
apart from Lies of P ;
Thymesia, Steelrising are some of the better souls-likes/souls copycats. but Lies of P is tge best among them tgat are not actual soulsborne games.
and if u end uo loving dark souls enough then try
"salt and sanctuary"
which is basically 2d dark souls. and if u like salt n sanctuary then you can hump into metroidvania genre of rabbithole with toptier games like
Hollow knight, Blasphemous 1&2, Afterimage, Ender Lilies, Moonscar etc.
good luck
@@CubeDeveloper_GamesBut I would also say that it's the most difficult
Thank you for the reviews as always, jake and team!
Busy with other games is an understatement…this year has been insane in terms of great games released! Sadly don’t have time to play them all but love that we as gamers have so many options and they are all amazing. I think we are currently living in the golden age of gaming 😎
Bloodborne was my first FromSoftware game, as they're currently known for after Demon's Soul anyway. Lies Of P reminds of Bloodborne, but doesn't feel quite as punishing, at least early on anyway lol. 9/10 for me.
I looked everywhere for a physical copy (on ps5) and couldn't yesterday smdh
I always trust Jake when it comes to these reviews. As a first attempt in the souls genre, I’m very impressed with the reviews. Neo wiz might have a hit in their hands
I have never been a fan of the souls like games. I tried Bloodborne and Dark Souls, but it seemed to me that I needed to play at least 10 hours of the game, before starting the game😅 But I tried the demo of Lies of P, just because the mix of Pinnochio and the kind of steampunk vibes, and I have to admit that I am very impressed with how amazing it looked and how "easy" it was to pick up on the controls. I am definitely picking up Lies of P when the next pay check comes😀
How did it go?
How do u get pads the first mini boss
I was super excited for this game and I loved the demo! Glad to hear about the performance being solid and I can't wait to play it.
Developers try to make your own unique game (impossible)
i’m sorry but the more i look at the main character, the more i see timothée chalamet 🤣
I thought this game was gonna be really lame but after playing it’s amazing. I feel like it’s casual friendly but also challenging for those who are looking for a challenge
I agree it's the middle ground not so hard like sekiro or nioh but not too easy like demon souls it's pretty good.
@@MtFoxt when i played the demo, the parry system was much harder than that of sekiro..did it change now?
@@JReiAtsu it's harder to perfect block cause it doesn't poise the enemy but the enemy as i remember isn't as hard as sekiro or i just improve my skill lol.
@@MtFoxt yeah, if youve done no charm+demon bell runs this game will probably feel bit easier...when i played the demo the dodge s were so little, and the the parry timing is super strict
Thank you for this. I was starting to feel like Lies was falling under the radar with the likes of Zelda abd Starfield so its great to get an early reaction to this. Please oh please when Stellar Blade releases, please do a Before You Buy on Stellar. That and Wukong are my most anticipated games right now... I'm they're both magnificent when they come out. Please please please look into Stellar Blade, thanks and keep up the amazing work
I really hope Wukong turns out to be as good as it looks! I'm super hyped for it! I'm probably gonna have to upgrade my PC for it though! lol
@@brucepreston3927 I'm good with playing it on PS5... I can't keep up with PC gaming, my desktop & monitor gaming days are long behind me 😣
like this game is awesome allows u to use items and things freely without feeling punished. also the entire story and atomosphere is fantastic. would recommend. Never give up .
I just recently purchased a PS5 and completed God of War Ragnarok 100% complete. I loved the storyline, the graphics, and the game. This is the only game I own, and I am looking to purchase more games.
I quit Warcraft because of the aimlessly farming and grinding and cash to play. The game got old and felt like a constant grind and farm machine with no end. I was debating on purchasing Diablo 4 ( I've read D4 is a cash grab and aimlessly farming, no clue) Witcher 3 and Lies of P. Any suggestions, and is Playstation Plus mandatory or worth it?
For those who didn't play the demo: The deflection works like Sekiro's, it doesn't disbalance the enemy for a riposte like in BB.
Standard block: recoverable hp loss (easy but costly)
Perfect guard: no hp loss and build enemy's nonvisible stagger meter. eg. When the Watchman boss does a chain attack, chain deflections are needed.
This is the core part of the game and everything else is built around it. The nerfed roll during lock on is to encourage deflection.
Yeah you are right, it's very, very similar to Sekiro. You have to play aggressively and nail those deflections, as opposed to dodging and patiently waiting for an opening.
So like Wo Long Fallen Dynasty then.
Yeah at first they nerfed the dodge so it makes everyone have to master parrying. A 'one way to play' style. Thankfully they changed that mindset and made the dodge viable.
A useless dodge is a waste of a button.
When lies of p was first announced I knew it was gonna be good. The devs had a really far out idea for a game, but they knew what they wanted and stuck to it to the end. The demo just solidified me being sold on the game. The combat, the animations, the environment, the music, everything was just amazing in only the first 2 sections of the game that the demo lets us play so I knew the game was gonna be awesome
It sucks lol, shitty rip off
So I have been watching this project intensely ever since hearing the premise. It has honestly been my most hyped game in years. As soon as the demo came out I went through it 4 different times with completely different builds, putting 7 hours into it. When the 72 hour early access started, i was ready. Now have 12 hours in the game and I can honestly say it is now one of my all time favorites. The setting, the style, the gameplay, the characters…..all of it is so insanely charming and interesting. I am praying this kind of gothic retelling becomes more popular cause I feel like they struck gold here. So far, definitely my game of the year.
Bought the game because of your comment, don't regret it
You should definitely be warned by how difficult this one is… Not for causal gamers. Hardest souls like game I’ve played.

Just fyi, I know this is late but you do not upgrade blades and handles separately. You upgrade just the blade. Handles are strictly for scaling and move sets.
The item usage animation, the health bars, enemies, environments, this looks like someone brought us Bloodbourne from an alternate dimension. And I love it
They really improved the Mad Donkey fight from the demo. Really felt like a hunter from BB
Your reviews are soo much fun. IGN and Gamespot are getting more boring with every new review but Gameranx never disappoints!

@@maserati4000 True
Fantastic game.
I love the game and hope their will soon be a sequel. I also went with Path of the Bastard and do not regret it.
Honestly speaking I think that Lies of P is super easier than other souls likes. And I don't think it's something bad , actually I think that this is the best newbie friendly souls like that isn't too easy but it's not that hard either. I still have half of the game left but I'm really enjoying it and I'm still in awe that such small and unknown South Korean studio did such a fantastic job.
Not a soulsborne it’s a souls like
@@geo2600 thanks for noticing 👌I corrected it
I really like all the systems in this game, it's constantly throwing stuff at you. I really like Lies of P. If you are a souls fan this is a must!
I love the victorian/gothic/steampunk vibes, like jake said its stands on its own merit but this is the closest we have come to next gen bloodborne.
Good to hear you Jake.
thanks
A solid game released seemingly bug free without DRM and micro transaction. Wild.
has denuvo
You had me at "souls like". So nah gonna pass on this one LOL.
Damn this is hands down one of the best years for gaming ever.
This game is way too difficult , I can't even past the first big boss . Totally regret buying this on the PlayStation store . They should at least made it so you can set the difficulty level . A million times the same level just to build up some strength is absolutely ridiculous
Im not sure what you're struggling with. The 1st boss is lsnt too bad. I'd suggest working on your parry and make sure you're paying attention to your stamina if this is your first souls like game.
It’s almost like it’s supposed to be difficult
😂😂😂
