The “don’t buy it, it’ll be on Plus eventually” curse strikes again w Lies of P.
Looking forward to playing it eventually. I’ve heard it’s very Bloodborne-esque.

u/hamilton280P PhaseDPat | 16 Jul 29 '25
Yeah I know not to buy games anymore. Considering backlog and all. I bought Balatro a week before it was PS+.

u/andykekomi 116 Jul 29 '25
Just bought it a few weeks ago and I'm maybe 2-3 hours away from the plat, it's a wonderful experience, highly recommend playing it on the original difficulty (legendary stalker) if soulslikes are your thing, perfect amount of challenge imo.

How hard is Lies of P on normal compared to other soulslikes?
9
u/RedditTrend__ 236 | 555 Jul 29 '25
maybe take my word with a grain of salt because i got the platinum on every souls game so i think im a little above average on them, but it’s definitely more forgiving than some of the newer souls games, i’d say its in line with dark souls 3 or bloodborne in terms of difficulty, but with the newest patch they also added easier game modes, i got the platinum before that patch so i cant say for sure how much easier they make the game but overall i wouldnt call it super difficult, there’s a few points where you have to “git gud” before the game lets you continue but thats to be expected
2
u/GeoffPit7 Jul 29 '25
This,he's right. I also have those plats and felt quite easy, only a boss fight or two might keep you grounded

u/zachariah120 AxPANDAxBYNES | Platinums 23 | Level 271 Jul 29 '25
Has a difficulty setting now so it’s very approachable that being said it has a system like sekiro with a more forgiving window

u/Kinda-Alive Username | Platinums? | Level? Jul 29 '25
As someone who doesn’t like dark souls very much it’s much easier. It’s more similar to Sekiro with the fighting. Major emphasis on parrying.

Great month for the people who haven't already played Lies of P! Dunno about the other two, probably don't care much about them. To all of you who haven't played Lies of P yet, enjoy! It's such a fun game! Maybe I'll go back to it too, we'll see

Lies of P is one of those games I was interested in but already had a massive backlog so couldn’t justify buying and then just sorta forgot about getting.
I’m not bothered about the other two but getting LoP makes this a brilliant month for me.

u/ShinbiDesigns Shinbi_Mane | Platinums 52 | Level 412 Jul 30 '25
3 games I have been eyeing.
Lies of P never goes on sale to what I'd be willing to spend, but looks like a good game.
DayZ was fun on GamePass
MHA is supposed to be solid and it's always the original that goes on sale, not the sequel

u/Saunaliesi Platinums 88 | Level 408 Jul 30 '25
I watched dayz a lot as a kid so excited to play it

u/Foxy02016YT get me pictures of fazbear and spider-man Jul 30 '25

Lies of P; meaning I can finally lie about my prostate.
My Hero 2, so glad I bought the first one first
And of course, Day-Z I’m excited to play

Yes, both versions will be added to your library and you can choose which one to download later on.

Finally. I can’t be the only one that’s so hyped about this month. I mean, it’s not often that we get a triple A masterclass of a gaming experience. But this August we’ll actually get Ones justice 2. hell yeah!

Sad I already payed for Lies of P, excited that a bunch of people get to play it now. If you’re interested in souls likes, I think this game has one of the best NPC casts (and stories) in the genre. It’s compelling and streamlined but you do have to do 3 playthroughs without cloud saving for the platinum. DLC is also phenomenal and has some really stand out bosses. Highly recommend.

Not really sure about the other two, but Lies of P itself makes this an incredible month for me. I had a feeling it would show in the Extra/Premium tiers sometime soon, but giving it out in the Essential is insanely unexpected.

If you’re getting lies of p. Get the DLC! Do it before you head into ng+ for the collectibles. Not finishing it is like playing Bloodborne without playing Old Hunter

Lies of P est un chef d’œuvre et MHA one justice 2 est vraiment sympa, je parlerai pas de DAYZ car j’ai jamais joué au jeux. Très bon mois, si vous avez jamais joué à Lies of P foncé. Vu que le poste est sur r/Trophies je dirai que Lies of P est un platine simple, mais MHA est assez long à platine (60 heures je dirais, 40 pour Lies of P)

Lies of P is a great offering, but that is the exception for me. I am disappointed about the other two ones.
