Lies of P

Altogether, Lies of P is a stunningly fun Soulslike that works great for both genre newcomers and veterans. Culminating gameplay aspects from those which have come before and combining them with a unique twist on the source material, Lies of P feels as one-of-a-kind as the puppet who wished he could be a real boy that the game is based on. 

The sharp difficulty spikes may put some off with grinding required to beat some bosses, but the progressively dark story, advancing gameplay, and elegant-but-sinister world are all worth the effort.
