Lies of P Shouldn’t Draw Inspiration From One Unique Bloodborne Boss

Much like any other budding sub-genre during its initial few years, Soulslikes went through a bit of a rough patch when they first started releasing. Attempting to imitate the successful formula of the Dark Souls series, the first wave of Soulslikes failed to understand what made FromSoftware’s beloved formula so compelling in the first place, sometimes thinking it was simply just about making the game hard and tacking on a stamina bar. Thankfully, though, as the sub-genre has had more time to evolve, Soulslikes have started to become genuinely great titles, with the best easily standing right alongside FromSoftware’s Souls series. Hopefully, Lies of P will be one such game.
