Lies of P
One of the most striking and successful Soulslikes in recent memory,Lies of P’s dark spin on the classic fairy tale of Pinocchio in a haunting Gothic world resulted in a wholly compelling experience. Developer Neowiz took the familiar framework and characters and dropped them into a Victorian steampunk setting full of danger and mystery. True to the genre’s standards,Lies of Pfeatures tight combatthat accommodates a host of adaptable playstyles along with excellent enemy and level design. With the Overture DLC having just released back in June,Lies of Pcoming to PS+ shortly after gives players plenty of reason to check it out now, as it stands out as one of the best takes on the genre and a fantastic title on its own merits.
