Lies of P threw everything souls into a bucket and tweeked 1-2 things into sort of new ideas. There are high highs, and very low lows. My experience may differ from others, granted, by the vast majority of time I spent in the game was pretty low and uneventful. Most of the levels are a drab and dull trudge through typical souls nonsense implemented in a really tropey way. Big slow weapons are completely unviable. Your character has no poise and a slight breeze will interrupt his animations. Obnoxious level designs reminiscent of Dark Souls 2. Stuff like walking on rafters while ranged enemies shoot at you and if you get hit once you fall off and die.

There is no rhythm in this dance. There is tedium. And it makes you want to play Sekiro instead.

I will still continue playing this game, solely for searching just how bad it could become.
