Lies of P review - the best soulslike since Elden Ring

We all saw Lies of P and went 'that looks familiar.' No, I'm not talking about the Pinocchio storyline but the fact that, at first glance, it's very reminiscent of FromSoftware's Bloodborne, one of the best soulslike RPG games ever made. While my immediate concern was that this would just be a 'Bloodborne at home' situation, Lies of P shakes itself free of its inspiration's strings with its expansive level design and innovative systems - but sometimes spins a few too many plates for its own good.
