Boasting an impressive 4 out of 5 stars in our review, it seems that Lies of P may just be the Bloodborne alternative fans have been longing for.
A Spiritual Successor to Bloodborne
It is not just our review that highlights the similarities between Lies of P and Bloodborne. Many reviewers have praised the game for being a spiritual successor to the beloved title. Jasmine, in her review, aptly describes Lies of P as having “everything a spiritual successor to Bloodborne should: perilous boss battles, tons of lore, and horrific creatures all bundled together under the aesthetic umbrella of a gothic steampunk dystopia.”
Evolution of Combat Mechanics
One of the standout features of Lies of P is its combat system. While still rooted in the Souls formula, the game manages to bring fresh innovations to the table.

This thoughtful rework of the classic combat mechanics ensures that Lies of P retains the best elements of Bloodborne’s combat while introducing welcome improvements for players seeking to craft specific builds.
However, it is important to note that not all aspects of Lies of P’s combat mechanics are flawless. Some critics have raised concerns about the stagger mechanics feeling dubious, impacting the overall fluidity of combat. Additionally, the repetition of certain assets within the game can lead to a slight dip in immersion.

PC Gamer, giving the game a commendable score of 74, describes it as a “competent Soulslike.” IGN also sings its praises, stating that Lies of P is “the next best thing” to a Bloodborne remaster or sequel.

This critical acclaim has translated to a respectable score of 82 on Metacritic, solidifying Lies of P as a formidable entry in the Soulslike genre.
As the release of Lies of P draws near, anticipation continues to build. With its compelling narrative, intriguing world, and refined combat mechanics, Lies of P offers fans of the Soulslike genre an exciting and immersive experience. While not without its minor flaws, the game’s strengths far outweigh these shortcomings.
