Lies of P review

Lies of P is the soulslike to pick if FromSoftware's fixed difficulty puts you off. NEOWIZ's Steam page lists adjustable difficulty, which no other soulslike on this list offers. You play a puppet made by Geppetto in Krat, a Belle Epoque city poisoned by madness, and you build a combat style by combining weapon parts, using Legion Arms and unlocking new abilities. At points the game asks you to lie or tell the truth, and those choices shape your path. It is the only pick here with a macOS build on Steam, and its minimum GPU, a GTX 960 4GB, is light for a 2023 release. The prequel expansion, Lies of P: Overture, is sold separately or in the Complete Edition. The base game costs $59.99 on Steam, and it is single-player only.
