Bought Lies of P last night and made it just past the first boss. I know some folks are comparing it to Bloodborne and I can see why they think that (damn chimney sweeps). I do like the game although I wish the dodge was better. Bloodborne had a sick dodge system and this one isn't quite there.

Also, quite thrilled to have bought a game on PC that actually works. No major bugs, crashes, etc. which is really how it should be.

Anyone have any thoughts, opinions on the game in general?

Yeah it was the moment when I realized Lies of P reminded me of playing Sekiro when I stopped lol. I'm just disappointed they make you have to parry. Not parrying lead to me getting combo locked during that first carnival boss so many times. Getting hit multiple times without being able to dodge or parry after the first hit was annoying.

Heard that the game has a dodge/roll upgrade a bit farther into it but I just didn't have it in me to deal with more of the parrying to get that far.

Grateful the game was on gamepass so I was able to check it out before buying it. Hopefully my friend that's 100% Sekiro will give it a try soon. He might enjoy the combat more than I did. He never dodged in bloodborne but instead stood still and just parry'd the bosses until it worked lol.
