Backlog Resolution: Lies of P Part 22
Last preparation for the end, as well as the meanest (and kinda funniest) trick the game ever pulled on me. Not too far left to go. Also, it is rather striking just how much harder each second phase is for these bosses than the first phase. I know it's supposed to be more difficult, but the resource tax of the first phase really quickly becomes nearly non-existent for me. The only real exception was the Bishop, who had two equally difficult phases IMO.
Lies of P is an action game created by Neowiz Games and Round8 Studio and released in 2023. Inspired like many works by Carlo Collodi's seminal children's tale "The Adventures of Pinocchio," Lies of P casts players in the role of a unique yet nameless puppet, an automaton brought to life with the mysterious power of Ergo. Gifted with a will beyond most puppets, "P" is tasked by Sophia, a mysterious woman with blue hair, to save Krat from a deadly puppet uprising. Through the use of more approachable but no less difficult Soulsbourne based mechanics, Lies of P weaves a story about the nature of humanity in all its beauty and flaws, joining the vast catalogue of stories inspired by Collodi's famous tale.
