Lies of P vs Lords of the Fallen – Similarities and differences
Lords of the Fallen can very easily be considered a souls-type game because it is so attached to the Dark Souls formula. It is a dark fantasy game set in a medieval-style world and its features can be quickly related to the classic Dark Souls, more easily than to Lies of P. However, the game also presents some truly unique features. that make it stand out more, such as entering two different realms, Axiom and Umbral, using your flashlight. It also grants players more grace when it comes to doom, allowing them a second chance when dying in the Umbral realm. Unlike Lies of P, you can also team up with other players in online multiplayer co-op, which definitely comes in handy for boss fights.
Unfortunately, Lords of the Fallen has quite a few mechanical bugs to iron out after its release, and because of that, it doesn’t play as well as players had hoped. Dodges, hitboxes, and combat in general can feel a little strange, which can make combat less fun. There are also occasional fighting mechanics that players don’t seem to like as much either, such as ranged enemies shooting at you from the other side of the map or overly simple bosses. While some players enjoyed the intriguing map and concept of Lords of the Fallen over Lies of P, some preferred Lies of P just for its ease of play and difficulty.

Lies of P, on the other hand, featured a unique spin on the classic souls game, where players take on the role of Pinocchio in yet another period of the Victorian era. The time difference alone makes this game feel and play different from others, with interesting enemies, weapon stances, and a Steampunk-style environment. Players preferred Lies of P’s more challenging gameplay, which required you to always be on the offensive, and found fewer obstacles in terms of gameplay, less stuttering, and more satisfying combat.
Although players seem to have fewer complaints about Lies of P, there are occasional comments stating that the experience can get boring rather quickly.
