Anyone try out the Lies of P Demo? (self.gaming)

I recently beat the first boss and am having a good time so far. I find the dodge a bit clunky, but it seems like the game is trying to push you more towards blocking (and perfect blocking).

Overall, I love the fact that a demo for this game exists and that it feels quite polished!

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but it feels like a FromSoft game. Granted, I'd rather they have put their own spin on it. But at the same time, they're trying to get buy-in from the audience of Souls games that they can put together a good Souls game, imo.

It feels like, "I want Bloodborne," "We have Bloodborne at home, honey."

I can’t speak too much on similarities with Bloodborne as I haven’t played it, but FightingCowboy on YouTube who’s big into soulsborne games mentioned it feels different. Specifically, I think he mentioned the flow of combat is different, partially due to the blocking focus on this game. Lastly I think the art and world alone is a reason to try it out. The “steampunk” style gives it a unique feel.
