Preview: Lies of P can’t deny how much it wants to be Bloodborne

We recently checked out the newly announced demo of the fantasy Soulsborne

The game currently has scores of 82 (PS5 and PC) and 84 (Xbox Series X/S) on review aggregation site Metacritic.

VGC went hands-on with the first two chapters of the game this summer.

“If you’ve dedicated your life to collecting every Bloodborne artbook and call yourself a member of the Cathedral Ward young team, Lies of P probably won’t fulfill your unquenchable thirst for blood,” we said in our preview. “From what we’ve played, though, there’s enough here that will probably give you a small hit of that feeling, even if only for a little while.”
