Mumen Online Lies of P Review

I had a great time with Lies of P, I can easily recommend it to anyone that enjoys Souls-like games, and I consider it the best entry outside of FromSoftware’s catalogue. For people who struggle with Souls-like games, I’m a bit on the fence about whether this one is for you. On one hand, I found a lot of the bosses easy, but difficulty definitely ramps up with the later bosses and some of the tougher enemies throughout the levels. The biggest issue of this game is definitely the level layouts themselves. Most of them aren’t necessarily bad, but they are simplistic, meaning there wasn’t any that knocked it out the park or felt special. Later game areas frankly become a pain, especially when you combine the uninteresting level design with the game throwing annoying enemies groups at you. Exploration feels unfulfilling, and Item pickups aren’t exciting unless they’re from a chest, otherwise they’re mostly forgettable. The game is surprisingly fluid. It has quick manoeuvrability and familiar gameplay that feels right at home if you’ve played a Souls game before. Sekiro-like deflecting is also here, which builds an invisible stagger meter and can even break your enemy’s weapon. You will likely never have to grind in this game, with weapon materials being plentiful, and progression coming naturally as long as you spend your ergo (souls) after every boss.
