One issue I had is it felt like a cheap, pale imitation (although so did Hellpoint and I enjoyed that for what it was, so there's something else about Lies of P I didn't like that I can't quite put my finger on). |
I didn't like the demo much either if that counts for anything.

I'd actually almost count this as a plus. How did you find the world? Many say it is generic but I find it to be very lightly creepy in a good way, the puppet movements and atmosphere in the locations are definitely up there and it's beautiful in parts, like the Opera house. |
Since this was their first AAA game I feel the developers must have been a bit constrained by budget, hence its relative simplicity and lack of unique details. But it does its job satisfactorily most of the time.
