Lies Of P: Inspiration vs Plagiarism | Review 

Alchemist Brian is my Stepdad

We can only hope the FromSoft devs have had time to check out Lies of P and taken notes. Because some of the Quality of Life decisions this game has are so natural and almost fundamental to the series now.

My *only* problem with lies of P is the localisation, a lot of translations are inaccurate or are very literal and misleading, but that is not really a problem with the game but the localisation company they reached out to. This led to a fair amount of players being confused about the wish stones, triumvirate amulet, ghost walk amulet and likely a few other things. Possibly the best example is Recovery Wishstone, it says "Temporarily restores HP" which clearly makes no sense and should say "gradually restores HP over a limited time" and makes it readily apparent that some item effects are not accurate. This kind of thing leads to people going to the wiki to check what they should spend upgrades on or what boss item to get, which carries a large risk for spoilers and even though the game is *extremely* polished makes it *look* unpolished.

The Nameless Puppet is such a perfect fight. The atmosphere is 10/10. The difficulty is massive, and the vibe is just unsettling. I’m currently stuck on him on NG+ and I’m not even mad about it.

Romeo the King of Puppets, Laxasia the Complete and Nameless Puppet are some of the best bosses in the entire souls genre. Pure perfection.

A thing to add about the 4th boss fight is while it does introduce the player to a second phase with an entirely new health bar, it eases the player into it by allowing them to fight the back of what’s familiar (which is the first phase) and if they are up for the challenge, they can learn a new boss fight by fighting the front of the boss. I thought that was handled pretty well honestly and I overlooked it until you analyzed it.

this video is made with as much care as the game you are reviewing was! clear voice over, sick intro, title screen, fonts, etc. so much attention to detail~ the entire hour zipped by! I'm very happy that despite all the controversies LoP got, the game still got the recognition the developers deserved through sales, selection as GOTY nominee, and recognition from players like you, etc. I wish the developers could see and understand your vid to know how much appreciation and support they have. Many thanks again from a new subscriber to your channel~

If Lords of the Fallen had tighter and more visceral combat like LoP, it could’ve been on the level of souls games, just like Lies of P. What could’ve been. Lies of P is my GOTY by a mile!

Came here because of your comment on Joseph Andersons video, and him saying he enjoyed the video also. This is really good, and puts to words things I don't have enough knowledge about to say more than "it felt good". Got a new subscriber here

the laxasia fight might be my favorite in any game. shes just so god damn cool for one, her intro and phase changes are as good as anything ive seen. Shes deadly as hell and will kill you so quick when you arent familiar with the fight, but when you do learn it, it is as satisfying as anything ive played.

When Alchemist Brian broke Batman's back and said 'I dedicate this victory to you, Shrek' I truly felt that

i actually had the same theory on p not being pinocchio but it was more like he was never given a name because geppeto didnt see him as his son but a vessel/tool to have carlo his son be reborn also i thought it would just be to ironic for geppeto to name him pinocchio, pinocchio is the name we the community gave him

I loved Lies of P so much! After playing Lords of the Fallen and having fun with it, LoP really knocked it out of the park. The game felt so polished, the combat is utterly tight and feels amazing and the story was actually very interesting.

Great review, as a long time Fromsoft fan, this is the first game that fully felt like another From game. The gameplay was phenomenal, everything felt fair, visually it was stunning and an amazing soundtrack. It even added new touches and things that felt like they were just missing from previous Souls games. Only major downside for me is how much I love the online aspect of From games, but I still love the PvE and the chance to experiment with different playstyles. Plus, there's poison swamps and doors that do not open from this side, so it's definitely a Souls game.

That intro cooked hard 🦋💙

I don't think enough people talk about how the durability mechanic of lies of P is almost wholesale lifted from the monster Hunter series which I find to be the only game that has ever implemented weapon durability and made it interesting by having you have to manage weapon sharpness in a fight

Subscribed! I've added you to my list of hour-long RU-vid video creators who are definitely worth binge-watching. The video is hbomber, joseph Anderson, mandalor level to me

I was playing this in the background until I heard you say “Alchemist Brian” then I had to triple take my phone to make sure I wasn’t misreading 😭

Bravo! S-tier review with depth analysis of bosses.

I've been digging at this video the past few days and I just finished it. Great video bro.

The one thing i want to correct is, Twin Dragon Sword is NOT a Katana, it's Korean traditional sword called 'Hwando'. Other than that, pretty much spot-on review.

The thumbnail with Wolf, Pinocchio and the hunter standing side by side is so cool ! Though impossible, it would be sick to see those 3 allied to each other in any way.

Your content is meticulously crafted, analytical and has depth. Thank you for this great review and you should be doing this for a living 👏😊

Fantastic video, loved the intro, and I loved this game, that wizard of oz hint at then end got me really excited for the sequel, and I'm curious what dlc will bring :)

This is probably my new favorite channel, Keep up the good work!

Earned a sub and from a gamer that absolutely loves Lies of P I say thank you for giving this game such a great and in-depth review.

Thank you for this. Everything you said is soooo true and I could have never put it into words.

Outstanding video & analysis!

Absolutely love this game!! 100% and played it 8 gameplays and still wanna play it!! I can not wait for the dlc and see what LIES ahead

I've felt insane trying to talk to people about this game, since I feel like I'm almost playing an entirely different game from what they claim to experience, so this is very refreshing to see. Sometimes, people need to realize that the originals don't always do it best. I've felt the same way you do about a lot of points here. While I do personally ever, ever so slightly prefer Bloodborne, mostly due to the setting and gothic + lovecraft elements and for getting me into these games in the first place, P is definitely beyond any other Fromsoft game for me, in all respects imo. I love how it uses mechanics I enjoy from games like Monster Hunter (excelling at large monster style fights, sharpness management, items being very useful and influential, and flowing unique movesets), Sekiro (parrying, but without not being able to dodge), Bloodborne (rallying, the darker setting, style, and unique weapons), and Elden Ring (more QoL and refinement in boss design), to make this special amazing game. While I do personally really not like the black rabbit brotherhood fights myself since gank fights just do not work for me at all no matter how good they are (not duo bosses, I think O&S and Demon Prince are some of the best bosses, but gank fights specifically), I also generally agree with most of your takes on the bosses, though swap Laxasia as the best for King of Puppets. KoP's story and lore made me cry after knowing that my victory where I *destroyed* him after 3 hours of attempts felt like I was ruthlessly murdering a friend I didn't remember or something along those lines. I got extremely attached to every character, and all their little stories. I've never felt so emotionally attached to characters since I played Undertale 8 years ago, which is saying a lot. I love that the elemental builds feel strong and viable, where in most From games, even Bloodborne where element is at its best, it falls off due to the scaling that the raw weapons can get with buffs, so having status effects tied to element helps immensely. My favorite build in Elden Ring uses blackflame, and this game basically feels like it emulates that with all its statuses but better. I'm very excited for the DLC and the sequel. I would love to see these devs make a dragon fight, as those are my favorites since I'm a Monster Hunter fan first and foremost, and got into Bloodborne because it had cool monsters and Dark Souls 3 entirely for Midir who is basically just a MH final boss elder dragon. Maybe in Shoes of D or some other fantasy game in their universe we can get a fucked up dead space ergo dragon or something?

Absolute spot on review. The game delivered so much and then some. As you stated already, the only reason this game got so much unjustified criticism is, because it is not a game from Fromsoft. If it was, all it would have gotten was praise. It still got a lot of praise, but with From in the startup screens, it would have been nominated for GotY and not "just" best Art Direction and best RPG. One more thing, which noone seems to talk about, Neowiz truly understood the core of soulsgames. Not only that, but Neowiz KNEW they have nailed it down even when they hadn't released the full game. They made that perfecxtly clear when they released the demo. The demo was huge, not only in it's quality but also in it's size. In fact, it was so long, that I thought more than once "Wait, why isn't it ending? Did they screw up and release the full game on accident instead of the demo?" That was pure confidence by the Devs. I really hope they don't lose that spirit and only improve on that. Can't wait for the DLC and future releases. One thing is absolutely clear in my opinion. While other soulslikes might only have gotten a "meh, whatever" reaction from Fromsoft, I am sure From will pay close attention to what this team will be brewing in the future.

Alchemist Brian was pretty good but imo Susan the complete secretary was the best and hardest fight in the game. Bob the king of puppets was pretty awesome though. Great video. Subbed.👍

Great in-depth analysis! Black Rabbit Brotherhood are my favourite fights of the game thus far. I wish more gank fight like this existed!

More more more we need more honesty in the souls community thank you for the amazing video sharing every aspect of the awesome Ive grown to love like mad❤ currently Ng+4

Thank you! You perfectly pointed out how much of the good things about this game, it is such an inspiration. Honestly I could put it to word like you, I’m still mind blown with Lies of P, One of my favourite all times games now

Awesome video, Beautifully written :)

I don't comment on youtube not in my 10 years have I commented, I think but this video is fantastic, Well spoken and a joy to listen to 10/10

Great video my friend! Spot-on! This game blew me away as well and is easily my GOTY! I hope it wins at least one of the two things it was nominated for. Small note though, Neowiz didn't make the game Round 8 did. Neowiz is the publisher.

This comment goes out to the ppl commenting more than to the video: There’s two types of souls players, Souls Vets and People who are good at souls games. If this comment got you heated, that’s a good indication of which category you fall into.

Babe wake up!! New Smabbott video dropped!!!!

Professional video Smabbott. Really enjoyed this and have a big soft spot for this game. Is this your own editing because it’s impressive. Enjoyed the craft of your Bloodborne vid as well but don’t envy any creator that dares criticize BB. Didn’t agree with your analysis btw but I respect it.

Mate, yours is the best review I've ever seen. I could feel your passion for the game and how much research you did. Your work is just as awesome as LOP is.

I absolutely love this game. I did a new game plus three on one character new game plus two on a technical class character, and I just started one for an advanced build. Needless to say I did get all the trophies already. Few games deserve my dedication like that. Bring on the DLC!

From day 1 i knew this game was going to be special. To see it be consitently regarded as on the same level as From and in ways surpassing aspects of them brings me a joy I've felt only a few times in the 20+ years I've been game.

awesome vid. wish you got talk about the levels and lore a bit more, loved everything surrounding the fighting mechanics and bosses.

As a Soulsborne veteran, I think Lies of P is one of the greatest games of the genre - and that inludes Fromsoft games.

41:58 a good way to counter that and deal some pretty significant damage to her is using the "perfect parry" special grindstone, just as phase 2 starts

Another thing i really liked about the nameless puppet fight is the fact that every time you rest at the stargazer, you have the option to change your mind and give up your heart. And as much as that option was tempting sometimes because of how much i was dying the first time, you I know just how amazing the boss is because despite the temptation to skip it, i never actually wanted to do it. Not out of stubbornness either. I was just in complete awe with how cool and amazing the fight was and i genuinely wanted to see it through. i died a ton but it never felt unfair.

In black rabbit pt 2 it's not a gltich. It's just learning another move, it's the same every time. When you fully charge R2 on white bar, step back until her stops.

THANK YOU for making this video man! This is exactly what I've been saying too! I adore from soft games but Lies of P really does feel like it took all the right inspiration from those games and did something amazing! A true evolution of the genre which I feel like Elden Ring misunderstood.

Great video, well done

What I love about the king of puppets is that the whole fight is structured around "this is the final boss vibe" as you are led to believe so by Gepetto. When you finally defeat him you expect the credits to roll only to find wait a minute we just deciphered the messages sent by him. You realize plot twist there is another final villain leading you into the introduction to the 2nd arc of the game the alchemists.

For those who don't know, Lies of P is the sequel to Life of Pi after they got off the boat to continue his journey in becoming P Diddy.

Weirdly enough. I was struggling alot with the oarry timings in the game. But when i fought laxasia, it just clicked with me. It was such a weird feeling, because from that point on, i could just perfect parry most attacks and it felt great

Great video. I agree with all the points. Haven’t seen anywhere else that the nameless puppet is Carlo’s corpse, but it’s a good headcanon at least cuz if you give Geppetto the heart it clearly needs to go somewhere and that was probably the Nameless puppet that was sitting right there. One problem. Is it Alchemist Brian or Champion Victor? Cuz I didn’t multiple playthroughs and saw both at some point. Or maybe this video is making me misremember.

My biggest issue about the inspiration they took from fromsoft games is that while the game has quite a heavy focus on parries the perfect guard sound doesn't spark joy like sekiro Everything else they nailed pretty much

You earned my sub. I will get this game.

Alchemist Brian? 😂 I’m guessing that’s a localized name for some reason? He was called champion Victor when I played. Still legendary critique of Lies of P

I just beat Lies Of P and Jesus I loved every second. The bosses, weapons, characters, story, and gameplay is what I’ve been craving since beating the 3 Dark Souls games + Demon’s Souls. I love Fromsoft with a burning passion but God am I happy Neowiz has joined in. I personally don’t care for Elden Ring’s overhaul of the Souls world design/layout so I’ve sitting waiting for a DS4 and God I got it with Lies Of P. For me, it gave me something I didn’t even know I wanted: a story so personal it’ll make you weep. I love traditional souls lore approached story telling but Lies Of P crafted an emotionally driven story so perfectly I couldn’t help but weep several times. And for that it’s become my personal fave souls story. Basically, it was perfect for me too. 10/10

I’m so glad that I played lies of p, every moment of it gave me chills and experience’s I’ll never forget.

your words echoes with my thoughts, great video =)

Laxasia is one of the most badass bosses i have ever had the pleasure of fighting(like top 3), such a fun and difficult boss, so well designed.

i loved your video. i agree that neowiz did do somethings better than fromsoft and more people need to be having this discussion. the fantastic boss design of lies of p has me in awe too. keep up the good work

Just finished this game and this is the best video I've seen so far. Glad you're giving this game the kudos it deserves. Love the content and analysis!

just bought Lies of P, can't wait to play it tomorrow!

Clearly this game is very special and it is way above and beyond basically any other game I can think of that has a Souls like description

27:52 this transition from phase 1 to 2 is so smooth

The first time I fought the Green Swamp Monster in phase 2 and it just rotated its body I was like „WTF is going on here“ and then it used the claw attack to kill me, and I was just sitting there really chuckling at this animation, I was like „alright, this is really really fucking cool I’m not even mad“. I also think the records are genuinely the best collectables I‘ve ever seen in a video game. After I heard the first one I decided I must collect them all.

What is your opinion on the nerfs to rising dodge being on as a basic movement set instead of upgradable. Because I personally thought that they should keep rising dodge as upgradable to teach or give incentive to learn Perfect guarding.

Will you be doing a DLC review like this when it comes out ? i really enjoyed this :)

The best way to beat most enemies in this game is to hold L(block) and once you see an attack coming at you quickly release and keep holding block. You will either get a perfect parry or block most attacks. The other thing is you will be able to attack right after while still holding block. It makes it so much better, you technically cancel the block animation when you are standing neutral . Happy gaming friends

I think my criticisms of some of the two health boss fights would be they do indeed lose their mystique after a while and some of the first phases can be a bit tricky especially if you're less comfortable with games like this which can make it a bit hard to familiarise yourself the second phases which I could see turning some players off. The swamp monster definitely comes to mind as one such example. I've still enjoyed the boss fights but this would be one of my potential pit falls.

I like that these games use the border tint trick it seems to add to the atmosphere.

quick minor correction that borders on me being 'that guy', there IS blood in the Nameless Puppet fight. obviously it cant use blood, but since it is Carlo's skin and muscles grafted onto a puppets endoskeleton, blood from Carlo is dripping out of the forehead onto its chest.

26:22 at least for me it wasn’t the two health bar fights, which I think are fine and they didn’t really over do that aspect too much. But it was the constant two phase regardless even on one health bar. The 2nd phase forces you to learn new move and attack patterns. It just felt kinda overdone (and can feel kinda punishing in the early game before you gain your other kit like the special grinders, legion arms and more access to throwables/consumables) when every boss essentially has two phases like that. (Btw this is coming from someone who loves this game 😊!)

(3D artist and Uxer here) - Many good points. I think the UX esp, how you can see if you have enough ergo to level up (by it colour change) to how you can see where the NPC is on the fast travel screen. To many more. Things I didn't like (outside the parry window is a tiny bit too tight for my taste, but it's just per pref) Is the camera - I died more times I would like to the camera pushing making it invisible to see bosses or larger enemies and the fact that almost all late game bosses have 2 separate phases (like having 2 boss figts in one) can get a bit tedious. Again: not a massive issue, but would like less of that. I also would wish a poise stat as using some of the heavy weapons feels not always worth is as there's a lot of enemies with very tight timing and the parry mechanics almost conflicts with slow/hevy weapons. I usuly play heavy in souls, but here it was less fun. Small issues considering the game is almost perfect otherwise. I also like that it's linear (i would wish a few optional bosses) as it makes going through the game more managable. (for people having limited time).

This game is just so good One of my favorites ever

I also love the detail of the loading bar, his nose grows lol.

I datamined the game a little and Black Rabbit Brotherhood used to have a boss ergo probably was rethought later in the developement. Also the broken puppet has the lowest boss ID meaning he was probably the first boss created for the game

Imo, LoP really lacks in difficulty (ik, im probably the only human to ever say this). What I mean is, only Laxasia and kinda Romeo (not phase 1 tho) were actually hard bosses for me. I even found the early game to be so forgiving that I told myself "I wanna make this as hard as other souls likes, so I wont use summons, fable, legion, special grinders, status effects, consumables, throwable objects, cube, gold coin fruits (levels + p organ resets), weapon upgrades/Eugenie in general and any other weapons than my starting class' handle (bastard) and bone cutting blade". And I did just that. I finished the game with less than 10 tries on most bosses including late game bossfighs such as Nameless Puppet and Simon Manus without most of what would make a build powerful. On the other hand, this game is out of this world for anything else than difficulty: ambiance, storytelling, gameplay (not better than sekiro's imo), build variety, etc are all much better than most FromSoft games. I just think the parries are absolutely unbalanced and make the game a breeze: enemies will get their posture broken in no time, their weapons will break, you can heal from them, enemy attacks are so well telegraphed that missing them wasn't such an issue compared to sekiro's fast pace boss moves, there weren't any overly aggressive bosses such as Guardian Ape or Morgott to throw you off of your timings, etc. Overall a great game, but it just wasn't as hard as other souls.

My favourite game of 2023, hands down. It exceeded my expectations in every way.

i love that u changed viktors name above the healthbar to alchemist brian lmao

Imo they took the souls formula and straight up innovated it and elevated it

I didn't play the demo. Never heard of this game. I just saw the cover and thought that it looked good and pre ordered it. Now I'm about to platinum the game. It's that good.

Good review on this amazing game! Just wanted to give you my thoughts on second health bars which you say you aren't sure why people are upset over. Personally, I'm fine with the difficulty added by them, however I think they are used too frequently. In Fromsoft games, second health bars are generally saved for the most *important* bosses. In Lies of P, they're used in so many boss fights that you just always *expect* there to be a second health bar after a certain point. In my opinion a second health bar should be a surprise, and when many bosses have one it takes away that feeling of excitement. Even if a boss had one health bar, and the phase change happens in the middle (e.g. Victor) it feels different than a new completely separate bar. Another issue is how some bosses have movesets that are completely different from the first phase (namely Romeo, and Laxasia). This can lead to frustration as the first phase basically turns into a 1-2 minute runback to the second phase only to die in a few seconds because you don't know any of the moves. I don't mind if it's *somewhat* different, like Manus's fight (which is great imo), but sometimes they took it too far. In the case of Laxasia her phases are basically opposites, and her second phase shares no moves with her first phase. Romeo is also not great, but still not as bad because his second phase still has a somewhat similar tempo to the first (for most attacks). Anyways, that's that. Thanks for reading! P.S. you forgot to talk about the best boss: Walker of Illusions. It's clearly the most memorable boss in the game ;) (jokes aside, my favorite bosses are Scrapped Watchman, Andreus, and Nameless Puppet)

Wait you like the second black rabbit brotherhood encounter? Well thats a new one

It's a good argument. Lies of P had all the best fromsoft mechanics and some improvements. I'm not a fan of having no poise at all, specially thru fable art animations. But there are work arounds. I recently finished LotF, and the bosses were kind of a disappointment really. I need my boss fights to make me feel like I accomplished something. Sekiro is still my favorite, I spent 4 days on Demon of Hatred, and I will never forget the whole experience. I'm just now playing LoP, it's very good so far.

What amazes me is that Lies of P is EVERYTHING we wanted from FromSoft. It's Bloodborne 2, it's Sekiro DLC. And yet it's also immensely creative and innovative, to the extent that if FromSoft had made it, people would have called Lies of P amazing. In many ways it supersedes FromSoft. But nostalgia holds us back. It is time for Souls fans to stop lying to themselves about this game. It IS better. We, the Souls community, got everything we wanted. Everything we asked from From, Neowiz gave us. And yet still, many of us look at this beautiful, masterpiece of a game and say "it's not good enough". Their hearts are pounding.

Ma man spitting the good facts. This game is final fantasy 1. Wait until they have a bigger budget and more time to tell their vision. The director is so passionate, the company listens to feedback and is constantly wanting to make the game better for players. I really believe this is the start of something epic.

39:47 This heavy attack parry with the katana was CLEAN. Be proud. 42:02 NEVERMIND, THIS WAS EVEN CLEANER!!!

51:20 I looked to see if anyone else already commented my question but I haven’t seen, but can someone correct me if I’m wrong but I thought Puccinella was also an awakened puppet or at least became awakened at some point by mentioning how he was worried about vegnigni (ik I butchered his name) after you kill Arrlechino??

56:13 It's the developers' first attempt at a genre that has been predominantly been ruled by just one company, and they aren't even japanese. It has neither the prestige of being a fromsoft title or a japanese game, which is why people are quick to dismiss it. This type of mentality will soon pass as more asian studios will rise to challenge japan's monoply on the single player market (genshin has overtaken all japanese mobile games already). And in the case of Lies of P, well as long as studio 8 continues to polish their craft and put out more excellent titles, they will be given the respect they deserve. I firmly believe that if they can get the dorothy sequel right, the game and the franchise itself, will be regarded as fromsoft's level. Not only just expanding and further improving upon the formula, but they have a real golden opportunity to really establish their identity. A chance to really lay out the overarching narrative and to even be distinct from fromsoft's games through the oz setting. Can you imagine a more whimsical and colorful soulslike? I think the contrast between the bright colors of the world and the brutal gameplay will be striking enough to make a lot more people interested initially compared to lies of p. Studio 8 has pratically built the railways for their success, whether they can get the train working we will see sooner or later.

People call this something to play while waiting for Elden Ring DLC, but I just played through Dark Souls 3 for the first time to kill time until the Lies of P expansion.

The whole ending segment just summarizes this game being unfairly treated by THE WHOLE VIDEO GAME MARKET so accurately it hurts. I mean, seriously, it couldn't be any more true than "If you took Neowiz and Round 8 Studios logo from it and placed FROM Software, it would be receiving 10's and 9's all across the internet." "This game could never be better than any FROM Software game" It doesn't matter how much it improves on the formular. It doesn't matter how original it is. It doesn't matter how polished, and how much it surpassed most FROM Software game. I won't ever be praised for how truly amazing it is, simply because it's not a FROM Software game. Which is a shame for me, honestly. As this game, especially after the latest patch and possibly after the DLC can take Bloodborne's throne as my *favorite game*. I hope in the future, just as people started to give DS2 a second chance, people stop putting FROM Software game in such an ureachable level, and treats Lies of P how it should've been treated since day 1.

I do think there's a big issue with multiple health bars on a boss and that it really can just be one big healthbar instead. The advantage of the multiple bars is only really visual as you get the rug pulled under you into thinking you've won when you havent, but doing it multiple times it becomes expected to the point when a boss doesn't have one its kind of a pleasant surprise. There is a big issue though, like in DaS 3 in which, because of limited resources, multiple boss healthbars felt like an artificial way to prolong a fight and make it harder just by the lack of resources you have like healing items (and for people like me it takes away the serotonin you get from thinking you beat a boss). In any case, Sekiro has indicators to show you each phase, except for the final fight where Genichiro shows up but that is so piss easy I don't really count it as well as the die twice mechanic that sort of can stack. Lies of P has a similar method of forgiveness with essentially unlimited healing items if you have a decent enough understanding at parrying and damaging a boss. But honestly, most bosses are only two phased in P because they physically change form and I figure that maybe they want a cut scene to play to show that. idk

Wait, he's called Alchemist Brian? He had a different name on my game: "Champion Victor." Idk what's going on there lol... Fantastic video.

After completing Lies of P earlier tonight... I'd like to admit that it's taken over as my new favorite soulslike game. My previous favorite being Dark Souls 1, but this game just enhanced the genre in so many ways. Fromsoft is great and all, but these devs knocked it out of the fuckin' park!

A truly beautiful review. Sometimes the right person gets a glimpse of the truth and you get the rare privilege of seeing a cult classic bloom before your eyes. Lies of P will only shine brighter with the benefit of hindsight. The deep irony of the pushback from Fromsoft diehards is that each of them so deeply wants to fight to the death for the rarified exclusivity of a single studio's superiority that they miss a chance to experience what they're all roleplaying in the comment sections: the chance to elevate a special game above the unwashed masses who "just don't get it." You've earned a sub and then some from me. Bravo

54:19 Personally I found more wolf the player vibes from Nameless puppet because the red swords and the weight he uses them with feels like mortal draw is always on. I found the cool

Bruhhhh the “god let me get that sword” is such a mood😭😭 I fucking want the buster sword
