Completed Lies of P the other day. Was my first Souls-like, and for the most part I enjoyed it. I can't say the story grabbed me so much, but the atmosphere and general vibe was pretty cool. I think the game loses a lot of steam in it's final dungeon: just a horrible section to get through, and it's boring as well. It feels even worse to get through on a NG+ run, even if you can get it faster.
I like the fact that the game was updated to include difficulty options. I played on the middle difficulty (1 below the original) and got stuck pretty early on. Moved onto the lowest difficulty and was able to get through the game and enjoy it to the conclusion and for a NG+ run.
I think the game does a great job with the Pinocchio IP, from the overall story and smaller details that play into the original story.
But I don't think I'd play enough Souls-like again. Unless there are difficulty options. But cool game.
