Playing the imitators through and through, whether we’re talking about basic actions, animations, progression, stats, interface, ambience, staging, storytelling, or sound design which are all (but then, all) directly from the FromSoftware school, Neowiz has nevertheless sown a few small ideas of its own in its Lies of P. The weapons, for example, come from the combination of two parts (the handle and the blade) which can be assembled freely and then improved at the armorer who is waiting at the hotel with the other NPCs.
The doll that says no
If the weapon is still held with the right hand, the left arm can accommodate different prostheses (the one in the demo allows you to attract weak enemies towards you with a cable). Detail to know, the game of Neowiz asks to pay attention to a gauge which represents the wear of the weapon. When a weapon is too worn, it needs to be sharpened for a few seconds using a sharpener that we will take care to keep short, a bit like with the blades of Monster Hunter. Located under the life bar, the blue gauge is the equivalent of a reserve of magic allowing to trigger skills Fable Arts assigned to weapons.
Rewarding the offensive, Lies of P allows you to recover part of the damage lost by attacking an enemy immediately afterwards (Bloodborne, again and again) but you will also have to do your best to cause a state of stun to the enemies and take advantage of it to inflict maximum damage with a fatal attack (a godsend, against bosses). Speaking of bosses, the game offers the ability to summon a computer-controlled specter ally as long as you use the necessary consumable item.
In the defensive field, no shield in sight but a simple parry with the weapon which is far from blocking all the damage… unless you trigger the parry exactly at the right time to not suffer the slightest loss of health and even perhaps destabilize the enemy. Finally, let us note that the campaign of Lies of P aims for around thirty hours and that different endings await the player depending on the choices made along the way (the protagonist being the only puppet capable of lying). Expected in the Game Pass subscription, Lies of P will be released on September 19 on PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
