Dude, this game is pretty decent. I had been saying Lies of P is the closest Fromsoft soulslike but LOTF is also up there with it. It has a little bit of every FS game in its bones, plus the world shifting gimmick also gives it notes of Soul Reaver.
The only thing I can even say negative about it is that the story feels a bit like it’s trying to be edgy and dark for the sake of being edgy and dark. Oh, and the mimics are absolute bullshit.
It was definitely leagues better than the original LotF. I think it put out too much edge and not enough mystery to really scratch the soulslore itch. Gameplay was good though. Love me lamp.
I do like the mechanic of not getting the flavor description (the bit with lore and not just function) unless your stats are high enough. Though I wish it said how much. I am doing an Infernal build, I have 35 inferno and I still don’t have the flavor text on any of my infernal gear. :(
Ah shit. I was much too dumb of a bonk boi to ever look at that. Thats a really cool mechanic imo, it immerses you just a little bit in your character. It might be specific to each piece of gear. I vaguely remember my buddy talking about that before they had level caps.
