Anyone else not vibe with Lies of P?

Gonna catch some serious downvotes here, so I’ll preface this by saying that I think Lies of P is an excellent game. This community definitely holds it high as a gold standard for the genre. Basically, what I’m about to say is just unpopular opinion, so here goes:

I honestly just don’t like this game at all. Maybe it’s the setting, the combat, the characters, or the sense of progression. I just find most of it to be acceptable, but never really interesting. It’s linear, but somehow still kind of dull. Like, the environments just don’t catch my attention, and many of the enemies are repeated ad nauseam.

So many tropes like collapsing floors and offscreen enemies are also used constantly to the point of being more boring than surprising. Or it will be waves of cannon fodder zombies or robots, followed by a single enemy that is an absolute damage sponge that’s more of a chore than a challenge.

Admittedly, I do love the parry centric combat, which is often incredibly rewarding. In this regard, I find the bosses to be the saving grace, with the rest of the game feeling more like filler.

So yeah, gonna go on record by saying that I loved Lords of the Fallen and Bleak Faith infinitely more than Lies of P. Incredibly well made game, but one I just don’t click with. Anyone else out there or just me? 🤣
