Except for the translation;) it was phenomenally bad.
But gameplay wise, I’m confident that it has some of the coolest mechanics out there In the soulslike universe. I particularly loved that it occurred to me so many times that it had felt completely impossible to beat bosses at first but I gradually figured them out. And many tries after, I slay them like I dance!
I am so excited to return to it and enjoy the DLC. It was a very satisfying base game.
Linearity hurts it a little bit, but I love the setting and mechanics. Feels really good, and in a different way than many fromsoft titles (at least how I played them). Worldbuilding worked for me, I wanted to spend more time with lore videos than I could find.
I hope it does well and we can see more entries in the series/universe.
(Standard souls warning: I don’t think this is a good first-entry into the souls games. I’m currently recommending “another crabs treasure” for that, and please go right for the accessability menu without shame.)
Have to give lies of P lots of credit for adding "on the fly" difficulty settings. Most souls-likes wont budge here, likely due to the rabid fan pushback, but it is someone who dislikes the punishing genre mechanics but likes the game itself, it made the game buyable for me.
Oh this I did not know! New with the DLC it seems?
… many tries after, I slay them like I dance!
If this was me it would be awkwardly after prematurely ejaculating.
My only critique of it is the lack of variety. Not a lot of enemies, or weapons. I hope it gets a sequel.
I thought the weapons were samey until I saw some videos discussing it. The weapon combination system is crazy! Some of them genuinely feel unique, playable, and fresh (though I did not reason my way into any of these on my own).
Didn’t even look at this game. Thought it was related to Life of Pi. Might have to check it out.
It is a little stiff concerning the combat portion of the game. I just played Banishers Ghost of New Eden. So maybe that is why I feel like it is rigid combat model.
I think the early weapons are stiff but the later ones have better move sets. What is cool is if you find a move set you like it is attached to the handle, so you can swap that with a blade you’ve upgraded. New moves, retain your upgrades. Unfortunately doesnt work with the special weapons, which tend to have some of the better move sets too, but still a neat feature.

I also really enjoyed it! Kinda felt mid about the story but the setting was phenomenal. The DLC is VERY good and I highly recommend it.
