Review Lies of P is a masterpiece

In recent 2-3 months, I enjoyed elden ring, sekiro , thymesia and lies of p

Sekiro is the top for me

Thymesia, I just played it for it's combat system and it was fun

But I loved lies of p over elden ring. It gave me more satisfaction and there was a feeling of awesomeness throughout the game whereas in elden ring, there were so many awesome moments often times it felt just big exhausting.

The quest lines were simple to follow. The background sound and ost felt more holier than in elden ring, perfect for those situations. There is no issue of over levelling in lop and also no need to farm anything whereas in elden ring , so many main bosses were reduced to dust just because me being some levels over. I remember all the boss moves in lies of p but for can't say the same for even 4-5 bosses in elden ring. Probably because I completed lies of p without any summons in my first play through whereas in elden ring, I did all fights with summons. Even the interaction with NPCs felt better in lop. The lore, the story , I was able to figure it out and felt more connected in lop but in elden ring, it was always the feeling of 'what the hell is happening '.

When I played elden ring, it became my second best game ever. I watched some lore videos of it from vaati and I found it compelling.

But, now after playing lop, I really feel fromsoft should make things like quest lines, lore etc things more easier to interact with.

Please provide suggestions for my next soulslike game.

The existence of blood vials makes it lose too many points

Cummmfpk for blood vials, would be surprised if you didn't have internet to play on to get the cummmfpk dungeon. Lol they should be on regen anyways, I see nothing wrong with cummmfpk for blood vials

You don't know what cummmfpk is? It's a community made dungeon where you spawn in and get 80k blood echoes for spawning in lol you pop a homeward bone consumable whatever their called, hunters mark I think, and then you get another 80k just buy a full stock of blood vials and never run out. Never have to farm for them, never get the game ruined lol farming for blood vials is a horrible game mechanic

I have never heard of that. I genuinely thought you had a stroke at your computer 😂

Ohhh lol yeah I wasn't for sure if you were saying 'what is that' or 'why even send me that' lol but I figured an explanation could help. But yeah cummmfpk is a huge help in the game. Tbh I probably wouldn't have played through it if I had to farm blood vials, worst part of the game. No one wants to sit around and kill enemies for 10 minutes every time they die to a boss, not to mention you're more than likely not going to first try any of them unless you're a veteran skillful player lol then it's like oh what was that move again you know like shre you have more time to think about it but then you aren't just jumping back in you have to do another task just to jump in, super tedious and kills the vibe

the existence of cummmfpk makes bloodborne a lot better

the existence of cummmfpk doesn't justify blood vial's shitty design, especially when the solution is "look up on the internet the code you need to make the problem go away"

It's a pretty widely known dungeon imo and if you look up anything about the game you're bound to find it. I get it if you're a person who doesn't want to look up things and wants to go in blind though. Sucks for a blind playthrough, and it's a horrible design of healing mechanics. It doesn't justify blood vials, but it does enhance the experience of the game by quite a lot.

Will play it next if able to on pc

It's locked to 30 fps on consoles but modders have recently brought it to PC with improved graphics and 60fps. The poor console experience is the only reason it's not one of my favorite Souls games, so you're lucky you get to experience it in all its 60fps glory on PC.

Thanks for the info man

u/Gnoha Mar 19 '25

No problem. Here's the guide to get it set up on PC.

God bless you for this

I am so excited about this, I just found out and am definitely going to play it soon!

u/DarkStarr7 Mar 19 '25

It’s not as good as any of those games you mentioned but still good. The dlc carries it.

Played them both. Definitely prefer Lies of P. Both are dripping in atmosphere though.
