“One of the better souls likes not coming from FS. Character wise, this is my favourite souls-like so far. The puppet-human plot is very similar to Detroit Become human in many side stories. The vibe and aesthetic of the…”

“DISCLAIMER: I still haven't finished my first run.. ..but i'm already confident enough to tell you to play this game, especially if it's on discount. This is the only DS-clone that has a satisfying combat feel that's…”
“It took me some time to get used to the parry timings, but after figuring it out, it felt great. It's a hard game, but they give you so many tools to use, you can make it manageable. Also, throwables are very op in this…”

“Lies of P is an incredible game that perfectly combines the DNA of Souls, the rewarding aggression of Bloodborne, and parry system of Sekiro. The story is easy to follow and understand properly along with the usual…”

“I like this game a lot, but the creator has decided to start hiring Generative AI instead of humans. So I, as an artist, gamer, and human being who likes living without a 40,000 acre data center in my back yard, I will…”

“Beautiful game. Great story. The only downside is the is the movement. It's like trying to win a Formula 1 race while driving a dump truck. It's slow and clunky which makes anything requiring precision timing, very…”

“If it's on a HUGE sale, it's worth getting and playing, mostly for the story (barely), worldbuilding and 1 NPC/character. Otherwise, it's not worth it. The game plays with interesting concepts/ideas that unfortunately…”
“The combat is fun, and the atmosphere is amazing. The game looks great as well. The story is ok, I suppose. I had a blast, highly recommend.”

“Simply incredible from start to finish. Being a fan of parry-focused combat, the sekiro-like rhythm combat feels amazing. Parrying is so much more satisfying than dodging, and this game nails it perfectly. Incredible bosses, soundtrack, characters and story. It’s an almost…”
— a player, Steam review · 68 hrs played“Great game, but one downside is the parry timing. I didn’t like it ,it even made me frustrated at times, not because I lack skill (I’d say I’m quite skilled), but because the timing window feels too tight. 7.5/10 Great but not as much as soulsborne 🔥”
— a player, Steam review · 45 hrs played“This game was the first souls I`ve played and it still remains THE BEST souls. The story, visuals, music, everything is PURE WORK OF ART. I'm obsessed with this game and will never get bored replaying it! Can't wait for sequel release!”
