I'll be digging into that bad boy just as soon as I'm done catching up with everything else that's come outta Summer Game Fest this afternoon. And if you, too, are excited to see what Neowiz Games have come up with here, be aware that a demo featuring the first two levels of Lies of P is now available to download via consoles and Steam. Honestly, in the face of all this, the absurdity of the premise now kinda feels like a feature rather than a bug.Īnyway, I offer a mea culpa on doubting Lies of P. I love everything going on here, from the intricately-designed game world to the steampunk enemies to the bits of weaponry we see on display ("Was that an umbrella?!"). In appearance, however, Lies of P looks a helluva lot more like Bloodborne, which some horror fans (ahem) will tell you might be the best of the Dark Souls bunch. We're all calling this a Soulslike because that's definitely what this is: a game that mirrors the mechanics as found in FROM Software's excellent and challenging Dark Souls series. But if, like me, you've spent the last however-many months not really paying attention to this game because you thought it sounded ridiculous, this trailer also serves to inform us that said game looks fucking awesome. Ostensibly, this trailer is here to inform us that Lies of P will be arriving on September 19th. This is the newly-released trailer for Lies of P, which just debuted at the big Summer Game Fest (yes, the same Summer Game Fest that has us scrambling to write up all the incredible trailers and gameplay videos being dropped today).
