Lies of P Is PEAK ???? The Best Souls Game NOT by FromSoft?! - Video

Lies of P is peak. I said it. And I’ll say it again: Lies of P is the best Soulslike game not made by FromSoftware. During this Elden Ring stream, I couldn’t help but bring it up to chat. I was in the middle of a boss fight and out of nowhere just started preaching the gospel of Lies of P. It’s rare that a game outside the FromSoft catalog hits like this—but Lies of P isn’t just close, it’s in the conversation. The atmosphere, the combat, the challenge—it’s right there with the greats like Dark Souls, Sekiro, Bloodborne, and even Elden Ring. From the puppet enemies to the weapon system, Lies of P brings the pressure and the polish in a way few others have managed.

If you’re a fan of Soulslike games and haven’t played Lies of P yet, I’m telling you right now: don’t sleep on it. This game stands tall among the legends. I know we all love FromSoft’s masterpieces—Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree, Dark Souls 3’s Ringed City, Bloodborne’s twisted elegance—but Lies of P earns its spot in that lineup. It takes inspiration from the Soulsborne formula and adds its own flavor. The parry system is crisp, the art direction is hauntingly beautiful, and the story actually hits emotionally. It’s more than just another Souls clone—it’s a genuine contender.

In this clip, I was playing Elden Ring and just started talking about Lies of P to my viewers. I didn’t plan it—it just came out, because that’s how strongly I feel about this game. Lies of P deserves more love. It doesn’t matter that it wasn’t made by FromSoft—it feels like it was. But at the same time, it brings new life into the genre. The combat in Lies of P is responsive and brutal, rewarding patience, aggression, and timing in equal measure. The boss fights are cinematic and punishing. The world design? Chef’s kiss. This game respects your time, challenges your skill, and rewards your effort just like a true Soulsborne should.

What’s crazy is that I’ve played through all the FromSoftware hits—Elden Ring, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 1–3, Demon’s Souls, Sekiro—and Lies of P is the only non-FromSoft title that made me feel like I was stepping into that same world of deliberate, methodical gameplay and crushing difficulty. It’s one of the few games that can actually stand beside FromSoft’s legacy without looking like a knockoff. And that’s not an easy feat. Most Soulslike games crumble under the pressure of comparison. Lies of P? It thrives in it. It takes the pressure and turns it into diamonds.

If you're looking for the next great action RPG, the next game to fill the void after conquering Shadow of the Erdtree, Lies of P is your answer. It’s the best Soulslike game outside the FromSoft universe—and yes, I said what I said. Watch this Short, feel the passion, and then go play it if you haven’t. And if you have—tell me I’m wrong in the comments. Or agree with me and let’s praise this game together. Either way, you’re getting more Soulslike content from me every day.
