Some short thoughts on this one, while Lies of P is arguably too derivative of Bloodborne (being noticeably similar with its mechanics and aesthetics), a benefit of that is it’s just about the closest to feeling like one of From’s games that I’ve played from these soulslikes. That is to say I enjoyed it a lot despite its blatant influence

While it doesn’t quite match up to them in level design, it’s very well polished with great combat that does stand out on its own with the unique weapons and how its parry mechanic is used. I actually liked the world they made for it too, interesting take on a darker Pinocchio story with a steampunk style that did enough to distinguish itself for me. It’s also not too long either, finished it up at about 20 hours or so and it’s paced pretty well with the variety of its areas
