The official Twitter/X account has shared stats of the Souls-like from Steam. Over 95% of the 5,729 reviews in the last 30 days have been positive for the game, leading to an Overwhelmingly Positive rating.
Overall, the game has Very Positive reviews, but the recent reception has been unexpectedly good. This is a massive achievement for a new studio and a Souls-like, both of which typically find it difficult to find mass appeal.
Given how difficult Lies of P can be, it is great to see gamers enjoying it. While its difficulty can make it frustrating, the game delivers the same satisfaction that millions have enjoyed in FromSoftware’s work.
The game has also topped the 1 million sales target. DLC for Lies of P is now in development, in addition to a sequel.
Lies of P has been one of the biggest surprises of 2023. While it always looked promising, the game has performed beyond expectations, and we think Lies of P is the best Souls-like game so far.
Though this genre typically fails to create its own identity, Round8 Studios has proven that developers can step out of FromSoftware’s shadow with careful planning.
The Steam audience is just a small part of the overall Lies of P player base. With the game also being available on Game Pass, those curious about this Souls-like can go ahead and try it through the Xbox subscription.
