Lies of P News

While one is a bruising cousin of Dark Souls, and the other is a strategic, turn-based affair, there's a lot of shared inspiration and visual cues between 2023's excellent Lies of P and this year's GOTY frontrunner, Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Both lean on the Belle Époque era, a period in French history where architecture, art, and technology all rose to an expressive prominence. In a conversation between Lies of P's game director Choi Ji-won, and Sandfall Interactive's CEO Guillaume Broche, the latter admits that the studio had to "up our game" after playing Lies of P, and that the response to the game "validated" what it was trying to achieve with Expedition 33.

Lies of P, соулс-подобная экшен-RPG по мотивам "Приключений Пиноккио", продолжает привлекать множество игроков на всех платформах.

За последние годы игровые студии выпустили немало брутальных экшенов, вдохновленных Dark Souls и Bloodborne, вроде Lords of the Fallen (наш обзор) и Lies of P (наш обзор) — игроки привыкли называть их соулслайками. Обилие подобных проектов, подражающих культовым творениям студии FromSoftware, как оказалось, вовсе не беспокоит создателя "Темных душ" Хидэтаку Миядзаки.

There were some fantastic soulslike games on PC in 2023, from direct contenders such as Lords of the Fallen and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty to those adopting Dark Souls ideas in different formats like Blasphemous 2 and Remnant 2. But of those more traditional offerings, the real winner was Lies of P, which rose above its 'we have Bloodborne at home' comparisons to stand out as one of the year's most pleasing surprises. Now, developer Neowiz has removed its Denuvo anti-tamper DRM in its latest update, and is offering the game cheap in a Steam sale, if you're quick about it.
