Sekiro man, what a ride…Celebratory wine is blowing this way out of proportion though XD. buut, my past self didn’t think I had it in me so… Yay.

Fucking great game, the difficulty needs some serious demystifying… It was not nearly as tough as I expected. That said, this felt sorta like a trial run…

Here’s to the completed playthrough, and many more to come, cheers!


An additional note:

I bursted out laughing during final boss phase two, I seriously thought the

Tap for spoiler

“Glock Saint” moniker

was a community joke! XD

    Dude Lies of P is really really good, I definitely recommend it if you are craving more parrying. The timings are tighter than in sekiro, but you are meant to combine perfect blocks and dodges.

    You have the instant L1 block, but a couple of weapons also have different type of delayed parry baked in (with different delays and / follow up). There is also an interesting weapon customization mechanic that lets you modify a weapons moveset and pick and choose what you like to fit your playstyle and build. I didn’t play too much with this but you can make cool stuff. and much like in sekiro you get a customizable arm that can be offensive or defensive.

    It has awesome boss fights, excellent music, and the story is a very creative adaptation of the pinocchio fairytale. The main downside for me is that the game is super linear with almost no exploration. Some sections are a bit too long, (The game in general is much much longer than sekiro,)

    All in all, I loved the game. :)

      Cool! Let me know if you get to try it out. Are you in the discord? Maybe we can link up and run the dungeon together

      Why won’t LoP ever drop in price though? I just picked up Clair Obscura 33 or whatever it’s called and it was like 20% off. Which like, hell yeah, but the games I really want never go on sale, and From games and Monster Hunter are the only games I’ll buy on release, maybe the new ff7 part 2.

        I got a bit lost (and I’m dumb, sorry heh)
        (っ-ᯅ-ς) try what out? The charmless run? I’m on console so I can’t do cool mod shit. Or were you refering to Depth of night? I’m not on the discord but I’m on the matrix room :P

          I meant the dungeon, but yeah I realized that I was talking about a bunch of different stuff.
