FromSoftware Fans are Biased

Описание: Lies of P is the Bloodborne sequel we never got and I’m tired of pretending it isn’t. Why Lies of P (and the Lies of P: Overture DLC) deserves to be in the FromSoftware conversation, and why the Souls community still refuses to treat it like an instant classic.

Lies of P took the best parts of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro and built a combat system that actually feels tight: aggressive regain-style healing, punishing parry timing, and the freedom to approach bosses with dodging, perfect guards, or a mix of both. On top of that, it innovated the genre with Weapon Assembly (blade + handle), letting you create unique weapons and playstyles instead of being locked into one moveset for the whole game.

Then Overture came out and proved Round8 was cooking. The DLC adds a spectacular new boss in Arlecchino, plus features Souls fans claim they love: boss rematches (Battle Memories) and even difficulty options that make the game more accessible without removing the “hardcore” experience.

So why does Lies of P still not get the respect it deserves?
If you’ve played it: is Lies of P a masterpiece?
