This or Lies of P? For those who have both, which does better at

I. Intertwined environment that's fun to explore.

II. Build variety.

III. Boss combat.

Thanks!

Let us know your impressions should you decide for LOTF

[Baron01]

Here come my 2 cents;
Ad I.) Lords of the Fallen
Ad II.) This is wash
Ad III.) Lies of P

Tie breaker?
Lies of P is more focused Souls-like experience with very tight combat, focus on parry/perfect guard and challenging encounters. Its bosses are well designed and represent significant challenge that is mostly fun to overcome. The games world is rather linear but exploration is still meaningful.

Lords of the Fallen is gorgeously looking Souls-like that is bit too derivative of Fromsoft titles. Its main strength it its world building and design with dual-world setup that plays important role in exploration and combat as well. Bosses are generic blend of NPCs without much to surprise players where only few stand out as interesting or challenging while the rest is easy to overcome. LotF offers huge world to explore and get lost in, literally, that offers certain amount of freedom to explore and pick your own path.

I wouldn't say LOTF bosses are generic, just for minibosses (like elden ring).
Big bosses are ok.

What I meant by my "generic" comment is they are standard Souls-like bosses who do not surprise you by their design or move set. You have seen those bosses many times over in every Souls-like on the market. There are few that stand out as a different-Hollow Crow or Spurned Progeny.

Yeah i agree on that, nothing out of mind.

Both games are great but it depends on what you are looking for,lotf is medievil dark fantasy and lop is Victorian era,also in terms of exploration, customisation and classes the lotf takes the cake,also lord has coop, I hope this helped

[mpcgannon]

Thanks to all of you. I think the bottom line is I need both. I might hold out until Christmas but my need for novel exploration might win out and I may end up joining you wonderful people by the end of the weekend. Wish my wallet luck!

offers lies of p invasions? :>

[sethiroth - Fayt]

get lies of p on gamepass while it's only £1 and then buy lotf after.

[Clive Bossfield]

Lies of P won't corrupt your save file.

[Aizen_Kratos]

Almost 300 hrs into the game, and 13 playthroughs, I'd say to get this game. Any Q's feel free to dm me. GL.

No multiplayer at all in Lies of P.
But worth baring in mind that the invasions in Lords of the Fallen are complete garbage, the netcode is terrible and the matchmaking/balance is non existent - unless its been changed (uninstalled 2 or 3 weeks back), I could invade a brand new player and kill them with one R1 while using my level 200 character. I got the game solely because it had invasions, but the invasions turned out to be so boring that I am back on DS3 and ER.
The PVE is pretty good though, not upto the level of actual souls games, but one of the best clones.

Thanks!

LoP has WAAAYY better performance and level design! Enemy placement is also fair. The atmo and story is really good. Devs listen to the community.
Build variety is cool, not only because you can "mix" your weapons. The robotic arm spices things up. Dodging is much better after some upgrades ;). Bosses are hard but fair. Overall easier as in FS games though.
The only downsides are, it's a bit too similar to DS1, limited visual customizatzion because you play P and it has Denuvo.

Lords is full of snipers you cannot reach. It also seems like a DS2 remake with less reliable controls where the devs focused on implementing everything that was bad in DS2.
Bad performance even on beefy rigs combined with badly thought out leveldesign which quickly turns into frustration and distracts from their 2-worlds environment and exploration.

The fact that a game goes on a 34% sale one month after release tells you it's not doing that great. Not worth the money and time. Wait for their thrid attempt in a couple of years.

Lies of P is the clear choice here.

can't choose sorry xD that's why i have buy them both
