This Game Is HELLA GOOD | MAX PLAYS: Lies of P - Part 1

[@shirox11]

Lies of P was the first souls like where I actually forgot i was not playing a souls game sometimes, it’s also simply alot of fun. Great atmosphere, some really memorable bosses. Awesome concept. I’m really looking forward to the follow up to this game.

Alice in wonderland would 100% fit this type of game. The creepiness to the world the mystery and the ability to grow in size or shrink would be an fantastic addition to a game like this.

[@bunklypeppz]

That would be cool, but I think the sequel they hinted at in the post-credit cinematic may wind up being just as good if not better. I love the idea of these developers continuing with this theme of making soulslike games based on old fables.

[@The_Fool91]

Spoiler: In the post credit scene, they mention Dorothy and show a girl in red heel shoes. So possible sequel or dlc about Wizard of Oz.

[@yolkyegg]

I would love for them to pick up on American Mcgee's Alice but unfortunately EA wouldnt give up the IP. I wouldn't mind this company to make their own rendition though. The amount of creative opportunities they can do with the weapons and the world building.

After thinking about it more, I actually think I'd really love the idea of having them do "The Little Mermaid" next. Picture this... You play as a mute girl, who was found washed up on the shores of a coastal city, which is ruled over by the local royalty in a nearby castle. The more she investigates the town, the more she realizes that dark tentacles slither throughout the entire town, controlling its citizenry and driving them to attack "outsiders", like the mute girl. What shadows lurk over this coastal city? What calls to them from beneath the waves?

Just make Sekiro with Bloodborne aesthetics.

[@meteor22]

It's only BB like aesthetically. I think the most accurate description I've heard from ppl is "Looks like BB, plays like a more grounded Sekiro".

[@Broll00]

@@meteor22it’s got more bloodborne dna than just the aesthetics: - rally like mechanic fir regaining health. - Only a single weapon slot with most weapons being very unique vs the normal medieval weapons (the weapons you can’t change handles are arguably trick weapons) - No shield, but a unique parry system That being said the gameplay takes more from Sekiro than Bloodborne. I’d say it’s gameplay is: - 10% Dark souls - 40% Sekiro - 25% Bloodborne - 25% original ideas Lore/aesthetics: - 40% Bloodborne - 10% Sekiro - 20% Pinocchio - 20% I Robot - 10% Full Metal Alchemist (specifically the original anime that deviated from the manga)

[@darrenthedude7283]

Just beat the game tonight! Max buddy you are in for a treat, I was very surprised throughout this game just by the overall quality and diversity of the environments and enemies.

[@Dracobyte]

While many people have pointing this game's similarities to Bloodborne due to the aesthetics and some visual elements, I think Lies of P's gameplay has more in common with Sekiro due to its parrying mechanics.

[@celfhelp]

to me, Lies of P is Sekiro meets Bioshock with a small dose of Bloodborne the direct comparison to Bloodborne gets more overblown as you get further into the game (imo)

[@ihaveaplan.ijustneedmoney.9777]

​@@celfhelp niiice, I rarely see people talk about its resemblance to Bioshock. Its NieR meets Bioshock in terms of theme and concept. And really? if a game's separate aspects can be compared to multiple separate games. Its safe to say that its doing something unique.

[@curupa66]

Sekiro's parrying is instant. LoP's parry has startup animation and is much harder. It's more "souls with easier parry" than anything

Just completed my first play through and I’m impressed. They did a fantastic job making this game. I had fun playing it. Rare for a game these days to keep my attention for a complete run through. Usually I take long breaks / uninstall and reinstall games numerous times before getting around to completing them. Scratched that bloodborne itch I been having lately. It was a lot longer than I expected as well. I’ll definitely be playing ng+ and additional runs/builds.

[@Chachibenji]

Beat this game last night. I legitimately would consider it better than several FS games. It gives so much atmosphere, music, and something I wish more FS games did, which is closure.

As my first ever souls like that I’m really invested in playing from start to finish after having picked up and put down the likes of Bloodborne, Nioh 1, Dark Souls:Remastered, Dark Souls 3 and lastly Demon’s Souls PS5, I’m not sure why this one is hitting different so far and is so addictive but it is, once I looked up how to beat the “mad donkey” online and get past the sticking point that made me quit and restart the game a few times now. I have to say making progress feels good in these games, even though I got my ass handed to me tonight by the “Scrapped Watchmen” boss at Krat City Hall, I felt myself getting his timings down to perfect parry his attack combos and things like that and every try I came closer and closer to victory. Even though I haven’t beaten him yet, I have a feeling tomorrow or the next day I will, if I just keep at it. Man it feels good to see myself improving in a single player game by, learning how to counterattack a boss in their recovery and all that instead of just button mashing my way to victory, all this is to say I finally believe I am understanding the appeal of these souls style games after all.

Gosh this game was 100x better than I thought it would be. Personally overall just the combat for this game is by far my favourite in every single souls like game I have ever played. I think they perfected the feel of the combat like 9.5/10.They honestly nailed the combat. The only thing I prefer from Elden ring were the boss attack animations cause the amount of feints and slow attacks the bosses do is insane. It doesn't mix it up quickly like Elden ring. But either way combat is crazy good so this game is an easy 8 or an 8.5/10

8:20 What Max says here, actually reminds me of Russian filmmaker Andre Tarkovsky, who had a similar philosophy with his movies. I know Max is joking, but Andre use to create a pacing and editing style within his very intelligent films to weed out audience members that were not going to care, and therefore, would think negatively on his films, leaving behind only those who were going to have the patience and understanding to give his movies the attention and thought they were going to deserve. His 1979 film "Stalker" is a very good example of this, and I highly recommend it to philosophical sci fi fans.
