I'm not generally a person who plays games for the difficulty
I'm not generally a person who plays games for the difficulty. I like a challenge, but for me, the main draw to any single-player game is the story. If the difficulty prevents me from experiencing the narrative, I'm not going to enjoy it. I have played through Lies of P probably three or four times now. There's something about this world the developers created, something that keeps making me want to come back, even though I've experienced nearly everything there is to see in this game. The gameplay is incredibly fun, the characters are engaging, the music is phenomenal, and the twist on the Pinocchio story is beyond interesting. It's gripping. I cannot wait for the DLC to release just so I have a chance to experience something new in this world. This is the first review I've ever written for a game. And there are games out there that I love, games that have literally shaped who I am as a person. But for some reason, I was compelled to write something about this one. I wonder if that says something more about the game, or me?

"Mom, can I have Bloodborne?"
"Mom, can I have Bloodborne?" "No sweetie, we have Bloodborne at home." You shake your head, but soon realize mom is on to something. Round8 takes a more straightforward approach to story telling than FromSoftware, but is able to convey a fairly captivating narrative with a twist on the tale of Pinocchio where lying won't make you a good boy, but is nevertheless proof of your humanity and empathy. LoP's boss fights are one of the highlights, and show that it understands what one of the most important elements in a souls-like game is: patterns and movesets. Bosses have many unique attacks and animations, often with long wind ups (some might say a lesson it shouldn't have learned from recent FromSoftware games) that require the player's full attention and pinpoint reaction to be defeated, with a major focus on perfect guards to stagger and destroy enemies' weapons. Adding to this is a weapon system that allows you to dismantle and combine blades and handles to create your own moves, making you able for instance to create a dagger with the moveset and the scaling of a mace weapon. Exploration itself is fairly linear, with usually only a single main location the player can go, but every area is sufficiently interesting to go through, offering the usual shortcuts and amount of nooks and crannies to discover, but is perhaps generally not as strong as From's best. Nonetheless, south korean Round8 came out of nowhere with what is very likely the best non-From souls-like in the market, right next to Nioh, while resembling the source material more closely than Team Ninja's title. An all-around impressive effort, and one that I can't wait to see more of.
