Wow the demo was good but after finishing the full game my expectations have been exceeded. Lies of P has succeeded tremendously in almost everything it set out to achieve. The setting of Krat inspired by the Belle Époque period lends itself beautifully to the style of gameplay found within this sub genre as during exploration and traversal, the ambience of the setting can really be appreciated. The visual design of the enemies is also noteworthy, particularly for the puppet type enemies and their animations.

Due to the nature of the fast and dynamic combat system, the developers were able to design complex and engaging movesets for bosses and elite type enemies which kept combat engaging throughout. I liked the addition of being able to recharge your healing resource through doing damage once exhausted as it allows players who are playing well the opportunity to push on further into a level or fell a boss instead of having to return to a stargazer just to replenish.

My only complaints with the game is it being too linear in nature and the colour palette being on the subdued side. Stunning debut title can't wait to see what the potential DLC has in store for us.
