Not going to lie I don't know about this one. I think if you're a real diehard for this genre, Bloodborne especially, and are willing to put aside some really baffling design choices (enemy patterns, system decisions, etc) and at best mediocre writing, aesthetics and performances I'm sure you'll get something out of this.
A little note about parries in soulsbornes:
I understand wanting to do a parry system, Sekiro is cool and great and that parry is crucial to it, but this and Wo Long both miss the core aspect of it feeling extremely satisfying to actually do. In DS, a parry is met with a sound effect with some weight, a noticeable stagger and attached opening for a cool finisher. In Lies of P, we instead get the perfect block system, which is close, but the payoff is a red light, a kinda-muted klang, and then a stagger that requires a follow up attack (that can miss and still lets the enemy attack you) and then ANOTHER attack, which for me at least sometimes didn't work. All of this for a limp canned animation. The payoff just isn't there, and that's kinda demonstrative of this game as a whole; cool stuff, but the payoff is missing or limp.
