My current goal: Fill the Bloodborne-sized hole in my heart
I’m a sucker for anything that even loosely resembles Bloodborne. The game lives rent-free in my head 24/7. My first impression of Lies of P upon its first reveal was that it’d be a love letter of sorts to Bloodborne.
After spending some time in the new demo, I am absolutely doubling down on my first impression. It’s not necessarily a one-to-one copy of the From Software masterpiece, but it scratches that Bloodborne itch. The combat features the iconic backstep (oh, how I’ve missed you), plus a different sort of spin on trick weapons. You also get absolutely coated in blood and everything looks wet, and that’s as Bloodborne as it gets. It’s worth checking out to see if you vibe with it. — Jeb Biggart
