Not terribly interesting, you take a fromsoft game and strip it down to nothing but the combat, you get this game. Walking from boss to boss in Lies of P has got to be the most empty I've felt playing any soulslike to my memory. Combat is fine, though for this kind of hard locked focus on it to actually work you'd need the consistency of Sekiro, which Lies of P doesnt even come close to.
The fresh ideas and feeling of exploration of demon's souls and dark souls 1 seem so distant now when you realize this type of slop defines the current "soulslike" genre, though fromsoft's recent output is also partly to blame. Well, at least Laxasia was a fun boss.
