It's a great gank fight but people in general don't like those fights so they just write it off. I'd say it's basically Shadows of Yharnam but better.

@@couchpotato5657 they do still use the throwing items, but the thing is, like in black rabbit brotherhood fight 1, if you focus only on the guy going super aggro on you, the others tend to play quite passively.

Given by time, there'd be a game inspired by the genre fleshing out it's rough edges and executing the formula well, and Lies of P was that game. More so surprisingly coming from an indie(AA?) Studio.
I have a friend that loves Bloodborne, but hated Darks Souls 1 (he blamed voice acting...) I recommended Elden Ring before. Which plays closer to BB? Lies of P or Elden Ring?
@@Gungrave123 Dog I love this game but ive beat the shura gauntlet in sekiro and had no gripes with "getting good" cause it was fair but before they nerfed lies of p it was brutal You cant just make someone walk on a tightrope in poison gas to kill a butterfly with a million health in 10 seconds while a mob of puppets throw molotovs at them in between two giant robots and a balista cannon firing at them from a mile away and say Just get good bro. Some bosses had no sound or visual Qs before they hit and sometimes the animations were the same for when they either winded up for 8 years or they hit you right away. So it was a matter of learning by death. And I still beat it by parrying. But before the nerfs alot of it was undeniably bs.
i love how hard the perfect parries are in this game because it feels like the timing is really strict but you dont have to be reactive with it, you have to press it as the attack lands. idk, i feel like it makes first trying bosses reactively way more intuitive and rewarding
For me the parrying in this game makes barely any sense because you have to memorize the animations e.g. press parry when the elbow is bent "x" degrees rather than pressing it before the attack lands due to bad hitboxes and timing since I always miss the parry even if I know the attacks, so I just roll dodge like it's Elden Ring.
@@yurilopes420The parry-window is only 7 frames from what I've been told which I totally believe. Got my ass smacked so many times when I was sure I pressed correctly.
On my 2nd run of this game - definitely one of the most fun and memorable souls-like, a great way of making a childhood story relatable today :D The devs' efforts struck gold with this
I am just finishing it up but I don't understand how you can play it more than once, like it's great and all but I can't see myself playing it through more than once.
Seriously though these devs just dropped an absolute fucking banger souls-like game on the first try, I'd say this game is as good as all the other greats of the souls-like genre.
Gameplay wise I still prefer Sekiro but the atmosphere, story and music of Lies of P makes it better for me than fromsoft's games. Absolutely adored it and can't wait for the dlc and sequel
@@LadyStoneheart312 Sekiro is an incredibly different game in terms of core gameplay. Aside from the usage of prosthetics and tools, Sekiro's fast-paced sword clashing combat differs from Lies of P's more standardized Souls-like parry/dodge mechanics.
@@snazzyjovialwyrm3314 I'd say Lies of P is like a mix of Sekiro and Bloodborne. It's fast and you get those quick dodges but there's also a sort of Sekiro-like rhythm to the attacks as you parry them. Your deflects have to be fast and it's one after another there's no insta-stagger after a parry like in classic souls. It is closer to Bloodborne though I'll give you that, for us at least. I only really deflected when I felt like it, you can do the entire game with just dodges. Sekiro doesn't give you any room for that. I think it would be more Sekiro-like if I had committed to deflects though.
It's extraordinary. The first time hearing about this game, I thought it was the silliest concept. The story of Pinocchio set in a souls-like world. I thought it couldn't work. It'd be this throw-away game that gets forgotten in a sea of souls-likes. How very wrong was I.
@@Ghorda9 You don't get the thinking? Most of the general population will know Pinocchio as the character from the Disney film. Try this, google Pinocchio. Now picture that character/artstyle in a souls-game in comparison with all the other very dark souls-likes. That's the silly/absurd perspective that people are having that you can't seem to get. It's the same as if someone said to you "Cinderella souls-game". MOST people will have a "What?!" type of reaction, because what is pictured is the bibbidy boddidy boop Disney movie so they would think it's a silly concept. And then you play the game and find out oh, it has a much darker "Brother's Grimm" origin and the game is created around that.
@@Ghorda9 I know, I’ve read most of them. I just meant making dark fantasy horror games out of classic fairy tales has worked really well before and works really well now.
it's no doubt the best non fromsoftware souls game but something about it is missing that makes me not want to play it all the time. idk what it is, it's an amazing game, i just am not that gripped into the story maybe
@@PBart7 I think we'll get the Lies of D(orothy) more than Oz himself. I wonder if the hotel stargazer will become a projector for Oz the great & powerful?
@@PBart7 also, I wonder if the puppet who calls us "his only friend/his first friend" will be our Woodsman/Tinman? We helped him learn emotions yet he was still stuck in place.
Glad to see Charlie play through and enjoy the game. A lot of people wrote it off at first and it's actually extremely solid. And props for beating Nameless Puppet - not an easy task by any means. Along with Baldur's Gate 3, this was my favorite game of 2023.
BG3 is a masterpiece but it's also a game from larian studios, so we already expected a banger. This game came from neowitz, a fucking south korean mobile game studio lmao it's insane they managed to create something like this on their first try
Elden Ring is such an amazing achievement, but I think I preferred the more linear nature of Lies. Every play session was just immediate and satisfying. Easily the best 'Souls' game not made by From Software and I eagerly await what the studio do next... 😀
Completely agree! Absolutely loved this game and can't wait for the sequel. It really reminded me of Resi 4 in terms of tone and setting which I really didn't expect.
@@adan1221 DS3 and all soulsborne from FROMSOFTWARE don't have a real music with singer and real human languahe lyrics.. all they did just opera music like Final Fantasy and other RPGs.
Lies of P is such a God tier entry in the Soulslike genre. With both DLC and a sequel already confirmed, I am very excited to see where they take the story from here.
@@Jack_InnaBox you are the reason so many people say the souls community is toxic, better to stay quiet than advertise your shitty elitism here, it's a good entry in the genre, especially for their budget.
@@Myhaay He's literally correct, currently soulsborne=dark souls 1,2,3, bloodborne, sekiro, and elden ring. They're souls-like games made by fromsoftware.
I am near the end of my NG+6 playthrough and it is just such a well made game. Once you get used to the mechanics then it just opens up to you in so many ways especially once you find the build that works for you. Glad that you had fun with it Charlie
This reminds me of my favourite Pinocchio quote where he replies to one of his iconic friends in the critically acclaimed movie known as Shrek 2 in which they ask him to say "i am wearing women's underwear" and Pinocchio gives the most perfect reply of " IM NOT" but his nose still grows.... Extremely entertaining
Unfortunately, the Koreans who made this didn’t quite understand the cultural context of Pinocchio in the modern day and in all versions of it, which is the fact that when he lies his nose grows. Except in this game, he CAN lie. Which is stupid.
@@ferretyluv Your missing the whole point then. the devs are aware of this and made the whole goal of the game aimed at humanity. P is a puppet, and puppets can't lie because they're not humans, they're programmed. P is one of the few puppets who have free will and his journey is to become human and feel emotions, lying is a big part of it. Also the more he lies the more his nose grows which is valid, but i won't spoil in which way it is depicted in the game.
@ferretyluv even tho pinnocio isn't supposed to lie. I do think it makes sense here cause every other puppet can't lie and that's what makes it different from pinnocio cause he's more like half human half puppet
Charlie talking about holding in a poop causing him to not need to poop is totally a thing. Your body has a certain window in which it is “prepared” to poop. If you hold it in then that window passes, and you’ll no longer have to poop. People only have a few of these windows per days
@@donventura2116 I can’t imagine it applies to everybody. I’m no expert either, just a fun fact I learned from someone who specializes with digestion. Coffee fixes this for me
Beat the game a couple of weeks ago, this is the only game that is a souls-like, where I had enough will power to do NG+, beat it and enjoy it all over again
Bloodborne has been my favourite game since it came out and this is a close second. Really excited to see where they go with Dorothy and potential other characters. Shit is going to be crazy when they have a Phat budget for the next game😀
Man I played bloodborne for many hours but it kicked my ass. Never played a souls game or anything like it, I'm going to start it again and look up some tips this time. There was little to no info when it released but I know that's changed.
If you need any tips or tricks for anything, let me know! I've played Bloodborne so many times! Definitely one of my favorite games ever! I literally working on the very last achievement right now. @@fugginrambo
Mine too. I have been loving it and the story is really fantastic. So much tragedy but some true redemption moments as well. I have enjoyed watching some lore/theory videos as well.
I'm genuinely surprised to learn Charlie hasn't finished Lies of P, I saw the moist meter( or was it a mini one?) and assumed he had played start to finish. Lies of P isn't 100% without flaws, but goddang is it certainly a masterpiece in my eyes. Its so lovingly crafted, and its also the most underrated overrated underrated game, I love it.
It's crazy we got an amazing, solid full content game from a Korean Dev. They arent exactly known for not nickel and diming. Lies of P deserved to be nominated for goty way more than Spier-Mid 2
Never heard of it before I watched Charles play it for 5 seconds in October. I was one of the ones saying "play lies of p, play lies of p" until I bought it & beat it twice in like a couple weeks it was so good. I can't believe he never finished it when it came out.
I want to take a moment to appreciate the editors, he finished this playthrough yesterday and there's already a well edited video of his entire playthrough.
as i get farther and farther into this game it’s becoming my favorite soulslike/fromsoft game. i hope the devs that made it keep doing stuff like this.
I really like the dancer's sword handle with the starting two handed sword's blade. Your character lunges forward on every strike which lets you keep your distance a little. It also attacks fairly quickly. Some of the slower bosses i can get off 3 hits. The only problem is that you still have to be in attack range for most bosses. So you've gotta learn to perfect block or dodge but if recommend learning the perfect block. Perfect blocks contribute to fatal attacks and can break some enemies weapons which makes them do less damage.
I really liked the weapon crafting, it makes it feel more personal. The weapon i made was a spear, it was made with the assassins dagger blade part and the signpost handle. Extreamly good.
just remember that the handles move set has an effect on the damage types of the weapon itself, so the fire axe handle is bad with the spear because it doesn't have any 'thrust' or 'pierce' animation
Amazing game. Laxasia nearly put me in a coffin as well, insane fight. The quality of this game was infinitely impressive, some of the level design wasn't my favourite but combat was so tight and the story was so much more impactful than i'd expected. Can't wait to see what they do next.
Dude I went into this game thinking it was gonna be another bad souls copy but after playing through the whole game it has to be in my top souls games ever made it's so good
It's a souls copy in the sense that it mimics the style and design philosophy of Fromsoft and their souls-like games, but it's completely unique in it's own way, the same way Darksouls is different from Bloodborne. If you handed me this game and told me Fromsoft made it I would absolutely be convinced of it from start to finish.
@commanderppfromsoft literally copied the combat style from monster hunter lmao, also aspects from Zelda and many other games. Copying a bunch of different things to make an “original” product isn’t any better
I watched Charlie doing this live. It was fun watching him having fun with this game. A Korean company making the souls-like for the first time and you can tell that all of the people involved in the production had actually played all FromSoft originals as they took the widely acclaimed parts of those games together in their own game. Many souls-like games falter because those games are made by majority of people that didn't play FromSoft games, and only going through the checklist of things instead of coming from genuine appreciation for FromSoft games. No wonder this game succeeded where others faltered majorly.
I have been hyperfixated on the damn game it isnt funny. I love it but it took me so long to beat it cause it was way out if my comfort zone. Glad you got to experience this absolute masterpiece.
I honestly loved this game running through ng+6 rn. So much fun, when an enemy is staggered and you need to heavy them throw a shotput and you can get the critical
This game is so fucking intense and it is giving me shivers through all the boss fights so far (the difficult ones) it asks you for constant attention and learning, it flows so greatly honestly.
This game was my personal GOTY. LoP truly is a masterpiece. Neowiz understood the assignment better than ANYONE that isn't Fromsoft and executed it FLAWLESSLY. The combat is perfect, it feels amazing. This is coming from someone who never parries, and beat the game multiple times both pre and post patch.
Barely on-topic, but Charlie saying "tan-gel-ah" surprised me. I always assumed that Pokemon was pronounced "tangle-ah" because it's a tangle of vines. Now I'm questioning my entire life.
Y'know I keep hearing the parry window is super tiny or it's difficult to use. Strangely Lies of P parrying felt more intuitive than Sekiro's. It actually reminded me of DS1's parries which were super easy and forgiving.
For our sins we deserve eternity in hell, but God loves us so much he came as Jesus to pay the price of our sins through living a perfect life for us, his death and his resurrection so we can be forgiven and receive eternal life if we follow and obey him in faith FOR LIFE , Jesus loves u and desires to have a personal relationship with you of love, peace, redemption and obedience ✝️ May Jesus bless you, repent of your sins and turn to Christ before it's too late 🙏🏿❤️

@@balazsbuki2345they took their time and put passion into it. I followed their development process on Tik Tok and they worked hard to make it a game worth playing.
I have and started it too soon after a another soulslike so I had to stop because I wasn't ready yet but man do I look forward to this one. The next time I'm ready to be mad at losing to bosses, this is my jam. lol
The weirdest complaint I heard about this game was the amount of two phase fights. But like.. it’s more time fighting bosses and they’re usually a new spin on what you just fought
I think it's a legit complaint, when every second boss gets a second health bar it stops being unique For example Romeo having 2 bars is not a surprise, he's a very lore-important boss and the reveal cutscene adds some drama Laxasia didn't really need two health bars but she is a badass demi-god at this point, and both phases look almost cinematic so it's understandable as well BUT when a bigass swamp monster just walks away unaffected (cos you didn't kill it hard enough I guess) and somehow takes over this convinienly placed dead puppet body... it just feels lame, you know, like they had some leftover ideas and merged two into one This fight should've started at phase 2 but have movesets of both p1 and p2 IMO
@@tr4ktr4k45 I disagree on the swamp monster since it shows that the puppets can be taken over by the corpse/disease which is explore afterwards pretty much till you get to the destroyed hotel. If it just started in the second phase it probably would have worked but been less impactful than seeing it take over the puppet police officer we fought earlier on
When I was fighting with laxasia I had mines and motivity build and I remember I one shotted second phase with full stack mines and thors hammer charged attack (it might be the wrench baton combo too).
Strongly recommend Joseph Anderson’s Lies of P critique for anyone curious on why this game feels as good as it does! Especially when we’ve had so many failed souls-likes who can’t imitate or iterate on the genre very well.
the way i see it, it takes the best attributes of souls but adds just enough spin to it to make it unique enough they cant be sued but where they really go ham is just taking an existing character, creating an overall simple theme, and performing well based on that theme. The story is good enough that if a show came out with the same basic premise i wouldn't mind watching it. I'd say narratively it certainly isn't the most amazing story but it didn't need to be. Bloodbourne had more interesting lore and themes.

I love these longplay videos. I have a whole playlist to listen to while working or something.
I can listen to these at work these at work "must see" the videos where he talks and sits yeah 100% background play
i love how hard the perfect parries are in this game because it feels like the timing is really strict but you dont have to be reactive with it, you have to press it as the attack lands.
idk, i feel like it makes first trying bosses reactively way more intuitive and rewarding
For me the parrying in this game makes barely any sense because you have to memorize the animations e.g. press parry when the elbow is bent "x" degrees rather than pressing it before the attack lands due to bad hitboxes and timing since I always miss the parry even if I know the attacks, so I just roll dodge like it's Elden Ring.
@@ExacoMvm I do agree with that but I always just chalked it up to skill issue
@@yurilopes420The parry-window is only 7 frames from what I've been told which I totally believe. Got my ass smacked so many times when I was sure I pressed correctly.
On my 2nd run of this game - definitely one of the most fun and memorable souls-like, a great way of making a childhood story relatable today :D The devs' efforts struck gold with this
Yeah this game is way too good than it should be the devs are very talented
This game is absolutely garbage
@@AP2BP SKILL ISSUE GET GUD
I am just finishing it up but I don't understand how you can play it more than once, like it's great and all but I can't see myself playing it through more than once.
L take tbh @@AP2BP
Seriously though these devs just dropped an absolute fucking banger souls-like game on the first try, I'd say this game is as good as all the other greats of the souls-like genre.
Recommend me some souls like games plz
Agreed man I’d even say it’s better than a couple of the mainstay souls games
Gameplay wise I still prefer Sekiro but the atmosphere, story and music of Lies of P makes it better for me than fromsoft's games. Absolutely adored it and can't wait for the dlc and sequel
@@LadyStoneheart312 Sekiro is an incredibly different game in terms of core gameplay. Aside from the usage of prosthetics and tools, Sekiro's fast-paced sword clashing combat differs from Lies of P's more standardized Souls-like parry/dodge mechanics.
@@snazzyjovialwyrm3314 I'd say Lies of P is like a mix of Sekiro and Bloodborne. It's fast and you get those quick dodges but there's also a sort of Sekiro-like rhythm to the attacks as you parry them. Your deflects have to be fast and it's one after another there's no insta-stagger after a parry like in classic souls.
It is closer to Bloodborne though I'll give you that, for us at least. I only really deflected when I felt like it, you can do the entire game with just dodges. Sekiro doesn't give you any room for that. I think it would be more Sekiro-like if I had committed to deflects though.
Easily my favorite game of 2023. Nice to see you trying it out again.
I wish lies of p was more well known and more people played it, it is such an amazing game so glad that we are getting dlc and a sequel

It's extraordinary. The first time hearing about this game, I thought it was the silliest concept. The story of Pinocchio set in a souls-like world. I thought it couldn't work. It'd be this throw-away game that gets forgotten in a sea of souls-likes. How very wrong was I.
i don't really get this thinking with pinocchio, it's already set in the victorian era and like many fairy tales it has it's darker origins
@@Ghorda9 You don't get the thinking? Most of the general population will know Pinocchio as the character from the Disney film.
Try this, google Pinocchio. Now picture that character/artstyle in a souls-game in comparison with all the other very dark souls-likes. That's the silly/absurd perspective that people are having that you can't seem to get.
It's the same as if someone said to you "Cinderella souls-game". MOST people will have a "What?!" type of reaction, because what is pictured is the bibbidy boddidy boop Disney movie so they would think it's a silly concept. And then you play the game and find out oh, it has a much darker "Brother's Grimm" origin and the game is created around that.
American McGee’s Alice in Wonderland proved that dark fantasy adult horror reimaginings of classic fairy tales work extremely well.
@@nightmarishcompositions4536 original fairy/folk tales weren't exactly "light" to begin with even before McGee
@@Ghorda9 I know, I’ve read most of them. I just meant making dark fantasy horror games out of classic fairy tales has worked really well before and works really well now.
Lies of P is honestly a banger! Good on Charlie for beating.

NO no no. MY FARTS ARE BETTER THAN HISSS FARTS@@p-__
it's no doubt the best non fromsoftware souls game
but something about it is missing that makes me not want to play it all the time.

@@yurilopes420agreed. Not enough mystery and atmosphere
by no mystery you mean actually having a comprehensive story that isnt told in item descriptions?@@user-ze6ns9pq2y
So pumped for part two. Wizard of Oz has all the makings for a great souls-like horror game.
same, but i don't know why he didn't keep in the post credit scene in this video

The fact we are getting an Oz Souls is WILD to me and is a weirdly specific thing I've always wanted 😂
@@PBart7 I think we'll get the Lies of D(orothy) more than Oz himself. I wonder if the hotel stargazer will become a projector for Oz the great & powerful?
@@PBart7 also, I wonder if the puppet who calls us "his only friend/his first friend" will be our Woodsman/Tinman? We helped him learn emotions yet he was still stuck in place.
Glad to see Charlie play through and enjoy the game. A lot of people wrote it off at first and it's actually extremely solid. And props for beating Nameless Puppet - not an easy task by any means. Along with Baldur's Gate 3, this was my favorite game of 2023.
I first tried him I don't even know how
@cyberrunner6529 that's crazy, without summons?
BG3 is a masterpiece but it's also a game from larian studios, so we already expected a banger. This game came from neowitz, a fucking south korean mobile game studio lmao it's insane they managed to create something like this on their first try

@@kmoom10I thought you could? Swear there was a thing there

Elden Ring is such an amazing achievement, but I think I preferred the more linear nature of Lies. Every play session was just immediate and satisfying. Easily the best 'Souls' game not made by From Software and I eagerly await what the studio do next... 😀
Calm down bro. Elden ring is leagues above come on now.
Also Nioh 2 is better than lies of p no?

I am near the end of my NG+6 playthrough and it is just such a well made game. Once you get used to the mechanics then it just opens up to you in so many ways especially once you find the build that works for you. Glad that you had fun with it Charlie
Glad to know he still post long walkthrough vids
This reminds me of my favourite Pinocchio quote where he replies to one of his iconic friends in the critically acclaimed movie known as Shrek 2 in which they ask him to say "i am wearing women's underwear" and Pinocchio gives the most perfect reply of " IM NOT" but his nose still grows.... Extremely entertaining
my farts are better than Charlie’s farts 💨
Unfortunately, the Koreans who made this didn’t quite understand the cultural context of Pinocchio in the modern day and in all versions of it, which is the fact that when he lies his nose grows. Except in this game, he CAN lie. Which is stupid.
@@ferretyluv Your missing the whole point then. the devs are aware of this and made the whole goal of the game aimed at humanity. P is a puppet, and puppets can't lie because they're not humans, they're programmed. P is one of the few puppets who have free will and his journey is to become human and feel emotions, lying is a big part of it. Also the more he lies the more his nose grows which is valid, but i won't spoil in which way it is depicted in the game.
@ferretyluv even tho pinnocio isn't supposed to lie. I do think it makes sense here cause every other puppet can't lie and that's what makes it different from pinnocio cause he's more like half human half puppet
@@hughjaenus2235His nose actually does grow in the game at least in the painting. Even increasing humanity causes changes in p's appearance .
Charlie talking about holding in a poop causing him to not need to poop is totally a thing.
Your body has a certain window in which it is “prepared” to poop. If you hold it in then that window passes, and you’ll no longer have to poop. People only have a few of these windows per days
My super power must be the ability to poop whenever I want to.
@@donventura2116 I can’t imagine it applies to everybody. I’m no expert either, just a fun fact I learned from someone who specializes with digestion.

It's not that you stopped playing the game it's that you came back and finished it. Personally my GOTY of 2023
Did you play bg3 though >.>
This is my favorite content, long form, funny editing, intriguing, etc etc I just love it
Just got done rewatching your Elden Ring videos and was hoping you’d post a Lies of P video, glad you finished it and liked it
Enjoyed thia play through, glad you finished it.
Beat the game a couple of weeks ago, this is the only game that is a souls-like, where I had enough will power to do NG+, beat it and enjoy it all over again
It's so fun! Being able to mix and match handles to blades its such a cool mechanic.
Bloodborne has been my favourite game since it came out and this is a close second. Really excited to see where they go with Dorothy and potential other characters. Shit is going to be crazy when they have a Phat budget for the next game😀
Man I played bloodborne for many hours but it kicked my ass. Never played a souls game or anything like it, I'm going to start it again and look up some tips this time. There was little to no info when it released but I know that's changed.

I'm genuinely surprised to learn Charlie hasn't finished Lies of P, I saw the moist meter( or was it a mini one?) and assumed he had played start to finish. Lies of P isn't 100% without flaws, but goddang is it certainly a masterpiece in my eyes. Its so lovingly crafted, and its also the most underrated overrated underrated game, I love it.
I’d say it’s just underrated.
So glad Lies of P is getting the recognition it deserves 🎉
It's crazy we got an amazing, solid full content game from a Korean Dev. They arent exactly known for not nickel and diming.

@yddq6884 Yes and not all Korean gamers are like that btw.
Never heard of it before I watched Charles play it for 5 seconds in October. I was one of the ones saying "play lies of p, play lies of p" until I bought it & beat it twice in like a couple weeks it was so good. I can't believe he never finished it when it came out.
the sound charlie makes at 26:07 is incredible, highly recommend listening several times in a row
I want to take a moment to appreciate the editors, he finished this playthrough yesterday and there's already a well edited video of his entire playthrough.
It just Charlie himself most of the time
It's doesn't have that crazy editing like c'mon 😂
@@DrRAZI99ngl you right gang I just thought the 10 or so hour time from finishing the game to uploading is crazy
as i get farther and farther into this game it’s becoming my favorite soulslike/fromsoft game. i hope the devs that made it keep doing stuff like this.
Charlie's top Soulslike games:
1. Bloodborne
2. Elden Ring
3. Dark Souls III
4. Lies of P
5. Nioh II
6. Dark Souls I
7. Sekiro
For me Sekiro and Blood borne waaaay better than LoP.
If you end up doing another run. The shot put item can trigger a stagger it's a game changer once you know about it.
I beat this game at release but this is where I learned you can deflect Laxasia's lightning bolts. Game changer for that boss.
Beat this game during the holidays, and it’s hands down one of the best games released recently.
So glad you finished this! One of my favorite souls games in general, genuinely above some of FromSoft's own work imho
I really like the dancer's sword handle with the starting two handed sword's blade. Your character lunges forward on every strike which lets you keep your distance a little. It also attacks fairly quickly. Some of the slower bosses i can get off 3 hits. The only problem is that you still have to be in attack range for most bosses. So you've gotta learn to perfect block or dodge but if recommend learning the perfect block. Perfect blocks contribute to fatal attacks and can break some enemies weapons which makes them do less damage.
I really liked the weapon crafting, it makes it feel more personal.
The weapon i made was a spear, it was made with the assassins dagger blade part and the signpost handle. Extreamly good.
just remember that the handles move set has an effect on the damage types of the weapon itself, so the fire axe handle is bad with the spear because it doesn't have any 'thrust' or 'pierce' animation
Amazing game. Laxasia nearly put me in a coffin as well, insane fight.
The quality of this game was infinitely impressive, some of the level design wasn't my favourite but combat was so tight and the story was so much more impactful than i'd expected. Can't wait to see what they do next.
This is the dark souls Pinocchio game of all time.
I have been waiting so long for this video
Midway, Charlie got SO CLEAN with them parries omg, felt the dopamine hit just like he did. Love this game so much
Dude I went into this game thinking it was gonna be another bad souls copy but after playing through the whole game it has to be in my top souls games ever made it's so good
It's a souls copy in the sense that it mimics the style and design philosophy of Fromsoft and their souls-like games, but it's completely unique in it's own way, the same way Darksouls is different from Bloodborne.
If you handed me this game and told me Fromsoft made it I would absolutely be convinced of it from start to finish.
@commanderppfromsoft literally copied the combat style from monster hunter lmao, also aspects from Zelda and many other games. Copying a bunch of different things to make an “original” product isn’t any better

I watched Charlie doing this live. It was fun watching him having fun with this game. A Korean company making the souls-like for the first time and you can tell that all of the people involved in the production had actually played all FromSoft originals as they took the widely acclaimed parts of those games together in their own game. Many souls-like games falter because those games are made by majority of people that didn't play FromSoft games, and only going through the checklist of things instead of coming from genuine appreciation for FromSoft games. No wonder this game succeeded where others faltered majorly.

This game is so fucking intense and it is giving me shivers through all the boss fights so far (the difficult ones) it asks you for constant attention and learning, it flows so greatly honestly.
This game was my personal GOTY. LoP truly is a masterpiece. Neowiz understood the assignment better than ANYONE that isn't Fromsoft and executed it FLAWLESSLY. The combat is perfect, it feels amazing. This is coming from someone who never parries, and beat the game multiple times both pre and post patch.
I'm going to say this idc what ppl going to say, remove re4 remake and spider man 2, put lies of p and amnesia the bunker in thier places.
Gonna replay this now. Thanks Charles
I love lies of p so much man I'm glad Charlie did a video about this
Barely on-topic, but Charlie saying "tan-gel-ah" surprised me. I always assumed that Pokemon was pronounced "tangle-ah" because it's a tangle of vines. Now I'm questioning my entire life.

Y'know I keep hearing the parry window is super tiny or it's difficult to use. Strangely Lies of P parrying felt more intuitive than Sekiro's. It actually reminded me of DS1's parries which were super easy and forgiving.

LOP is awesome and any positive attention it receives is well deserved.
I needed this
I have and started it too soon after a another soulslike so I had to stop because I wasn't ready yet but man do I look forward to this one. The next time I'm ready to be mad at losing to bosses, this is my jam. lol
The weirdest complaint I heard about this game was the amount of two phase fights. But like.. it’s more time fighting bosses and they’re usually a new spin on what you just fought
I think it's a legit complaint, when every second boss gets a second health bar it stops being unique
For example Romeo having 2 bars is not a surprise, he's a very lore-important boss and the reveal cutscene adds some drama
Laxasia didn't really need two health bars but she is a badass demi-god at this point, and both phases look almost cinematic so it's understandable as well
BUT when a bigass swamp monster just walks away unaffected (cos you didn't kill it hard enough I guess) and somehow takes over this convinienly placed dead puppet body... it just feels lame, you know, like they had some leftover ideas and merged two into one
This fight should've started at phase 2 but have movesets of both p1 and p2 IMO
@@tr4ktr4k45 I disagree on the swamp monster since it shows that the puppets can be taken over by the corpse/disease which is explore afterwards pretty much till you get to the destroyed hotel. If it just started in the second phase it probably would have worked but been less impactful than seeing it take over the puppet police officer we fought earlier on

"Let's see if Phase 2 is any harder" *Cuts to Charlie re-doing Phase 1*
Strongly recommend Joseph Anderson’s Lies of P critique for anyone curious on why this game feels as good as it does! Especially when we’ve had so many failed souls-likes who can’t imitate or iterate on the genre very well.
the way i see it, it takes the best attributes of souls but adds just enough spin to it to make it unique enough they cant be sued but where they really go ham is just taking an existing character, creating an overall simple theme, and performing well based on that theme.
The story is good enough that if a show came out with the same basic premise i wouldn't mind watching it. I'd say narratively it certainly isn't the most amazing story but it didn't need to be. Bloodbourne had more interesting lore and themes.
This game blew me away. Absolute banger of a game.
I absolutely agree. Got this for Christmas and it’s now one of my favourite souls likes even including a lot of fromsoftwares titles
