Yes, kinda like how some chests in Dark Souls being mimic monsters trained people not to just run up to chests and open them carelessly.

[@cirederfsamot2730]

also, it ramps up difficulty, it gives a feeling of progression to the monsters : "oh, so you spent half the game making a mad dash to the staggered boss/elite mob to do a fatal attack ? Funny you should do that...see these new monsters ? They KNOW and react to that now :D"

i just beat it today after like 60 attempts. i was a tech build i had the live puppet axe blade on the master chefs knife AND the pipe wrench + dancers handle. i realized i couldnt do it with 1 wep so i went with 2, what won me the fight in the end was the wrench head fable art... it does so much damage and i got luvky that it triggered a stagger on 2nd phase which finished it off.

I think the surprise combos before the usual fatal attack were one of the coolest tricks I've seen in a Souls like

[@AWanderingSwordsman]

I loved this game. You didn't bring it up but the side quests had really good endings IMO, especially antonia's (which you definitely didn't do if you thought she might have been the final boss). The way they reward records that give humanity which entices you to sit there and play them after the quest lets them give an emotional resolution thats really impactful, for me at least.

[@josequiroz2743]

This game is incredible, it's a injustice that it didn't get a GOTY nomination, it really deserves it

[@Charsept]

Watching all this footage, I see that Taryn is a true shinobi. Those perfect guard blocks are really impressive. Also, wait, the consumables are really strong? I'm 20 hours in and I've only used the status effect heals.

[@danielantony1882]

They're downright busted.

[@tenjenk]

Always great to see a solid addition to the soulslike genre

[@alenezi989a3]

Regarding the fake stagger, it's not actually fake but the boss throws a last attack before getting staggered so you just wait for the boss to do their attack then move in and get your critical hit.

[@Victor_Nova_56]

Love the concept of an Oz themed souls game, but I hope they take inspiration from the original book, not just the movie.

[@keithjackson3413]

that’s what they did with Pinocchio for this one so I’m sure it’s what they’ll do for wizard of oz

[@Working_Dreamer]

It would be great if they took inspiration for all 16 (or 66 if you can find the rest) books! I’d love to see how they’d tackle characters like Scraps, Jack Pumpkinhead, TicToc, or the Wogglebug!

[@AkaiOfCrimsonLand]

Every time I see a YTber I follow play LoP, I get so excited. It's one of my fav games this year. It makes me so happy to even see people enjoying it for what it offers.

[@isthisajojoreference]

I really liked the heal re harge mechanic and the agression you can afford when you have heals left. I also loved the risk of having no helas left so much that i didn't ever choose to increase my pulse cells.

[@thrashhhhh]

Lies of P is easily the best game I’ve played all year.

[@EvolvedFinch]

Her laugh when she was using the wrench head just made my day 😂😊

[@Akashua_Bloodriver]

Having played and beaten Lies of P myself as a Dex build, blocking isn't too important in that case due to how little damage Dex weapons block, so it emphasizes that you get good at dodging and landing those charged heavies to build the stagger and get the critical. But having seen so many go for the unga bunga strength build makes me want to try it for myself to see how vastly different it is.

[@immortalweapon]

Go for the true Mjolnir experience. Put the hammer head on the police baton. No range, all damage, and the baton moveset is just so quick.

[@TrungNguyen-tk1wb]

Regardless of damage reduction rate, I feel like people underestimate just how good blocking + guard regain is in this game just as an additional defensive option. As a Dex build, Dancer Handler + Bonesaw Blade actually block a decent amount since it's a heavy blade, and even with lighter weapons the damage is still going to guard regain, which can be recover fully if you play your card right. So long as you understand the situation, I think normal guard is a viable option worth considering. My strategy is usually to just block the first hit of a tricky attack when I'm not sure of the timing or after a charge heavy, then try to perfect block the rest of the combo or disengage and charge heavy again when with it's over.

[@trevorgibson8310]

I caught that metal gear revengance frame over you crushing Carlos heart. Nice touch

[@blade6357]

This could not have been a better surprise! Love the content y’all !

[@Sangarudin]

13:32 I imagine actually 0-flask build is playable particularly by the absolute best players, considering p-organ upgrades provide buffs when pulse cell is discharged

[@TrungNguyen-tk1wb]

I don't know if it's good, but it's definitely playable. I actually went with discharged/ recharge speed upgrades myself until I unlock respec in my first playthrough and had no major issues.

[@Awoken_Remmuz]

Nice to see another pick this up and enjoying it. I've enjoyed it greatly, sure it has its pain points but they are far between, while not officially confirmed the fact the devs has indicated both DLC and a sequel are perhaps in motion warms my puppet heart.

The boss attacking while going into stagger position is there to teach you not to just blindly run into a boss. You're suppose to wait until the red circle appears to get into postion

[@Kaleb._]

This is my favorite game ever. I think that if Neowiz keeps making games like this, they will dethrone fromsoft.

[@arjun8883]

There is something about fromsoft's atmosphere that makes them so unique

[@retroshark8]

You don't need to read this(obviously) I'm no expert on the field, but I don't think they'll "dethrone" Fromsoft, more like stand on the same level. I have finished lies of P(currently on my 3rd playtrough) and I really love it, but while the setting and a lot of other things in Lies of P I prefer over dark souls(which I just started), I can tell that they're so vastly different and like another person before me mentioned - dark souls has its own special atmosphere. You can't simply dethrone that is so unique and impactful and special for so many people... What I want to express is that I really really like lies of P and I'm looking forward to what more Neowiz has to offer, but I also don't want... I simply don't know how to express it, it's a peculiar feeling, of wanting for two amazing things, few amazing developers not being compared which is better, but instead both being appreciated the same amount... A foolish ideal that nobody asked for, but it's real.

[@Kaleb._]

@@retroshark8 you know I really should work on changing my mindset. Because you are absolutely right. I will still always love fromsoft because they are something very special. Sekiro, DS3 and Elden Ring are some of the best video games ever made and Elden Ring is my 2nd favorite video game ever. So there is no need for me to hope one dev becomes better than the other. I should just be happy with both because both teams are filled with experts that are masters at what they do. Thank you for replying to my comment dude, I hope you have a great night! If you dont mind I would like to take what you said and tell it to others because I very much like what you said.

[@sambeckettcat]

When it comes to the critical fake-outs, the only one I recall having the red marker just before an attack was the repeat of the eldest of the Black Rabbit Brotherhood, and that’s because if you get there fast enough you can actually get a critical and prevent the retaliation, but the window is very tiny. For the others, I only saw the red indicator after the retaliation ended

[@rachi7629]

You are mistaken about the "fake stagger mechanic" . The red light indicator only appears AFTER the boss has done his last damage action . It is still a "gotcha" for leaning too hard onto habits, but as long as you learn this new mechanic on late game bosses, you can still deal the fatal blow.

[@noneofyourbusiness7552]

[@itsaUSBline]

The healing recharge mechanic is actually my favorite addition to the game. I thought it was absolutely brilliant. Also, once you get the P-Organ upgrade that makes it recharge over time too, it pretty much fixes the issues you mention. If anything, it had me doing the opposite and running away to wait for it to recharge on certain boss fights (here's looking at you Manus). I did also feel like Manus was kind of bullshit, and I too pulled the "run away screaming" strategy, and just learned to parry the gape-closing combo he uses when you're farther away, then hit him a couple times, then more running. But then again, I watched a buddy of mine play through the game just yesterday, and he managed to beat Manus just fighting him close up like any other boss, and got him within a few tries, so I think it's probably a playstyle thing.

Before I played any of From Software's games, I played a souls-like called Code Vein. It has a anime inspired art style and is developed by the same company that made the God Eater series. It's even set in the same universe.While I enjoyed it, it has quite a bit of fanservice with attractive men and women and that might be a turn off for some people.

[@Walamonga1313]

It's also needlessly clunky, the curse of soulslikes. Lies of P is a bit smoother than Code Vein but still doesn't quite get it either

[@takonaegi2967]

Code Vein is definitely one of those games with the tag "Not For Everyone". But if you're ok with over the top anime cliches and fan service, it is pretty good soulslike. With interesting story, amazing music, tough bosses, unique mechanics and one of the best customizations for character creation ever.

I never had an issue with the boss regen, it’s slow enough that it doesn’t punish you for a brief break but encourages you to stay aggressive. The only boss that I had an issue with the staggered last strike was the 2nd brotherhood fight. When he drops, his fatal window appears immediately, then he interrupts it with a long combo then falls to the ground again. That one was the only one I thought was bullshit because it tricked you with the initial fatal window. The rest of the bosses window don’t appear until they are done attacking, which all you need to do is back up.

2:28 I can vouch for the creepy eyes. A friend in highschool had a foster mom who collected them and had them lining her hallways and staircase.
