Just finished the game, what should I play next?

[Kris]

This is the first soulslike game I have ever beat. I played Elden Ring but in my opinion it's not as fun as Lies of P (probably because I did a mage build). Would Sekiro be a good game to play next? I really enjoyed the parrying mechanic in this game.

Sekiro has amazing combat. If you liked parrying in this game then you will love it in Sekiro. Just keep in mind it's a lot more fast paced and you have to play very aggressively and parry a lot.

Alright, I'll give it a shot! Phase 1 of Laxasia was probably the most fun boss in Lies of P for me, hopefully Sekiro enemies are similar.

Sekiro is fun, but very difficult and a lot more stealth-based. The graphics are a step down, but if you enjoyed the linear form of Lies of P compared to Elden Ring, you could give Dark Souls III a try. The level design is very similar to LoP.

I'd also recommend giving a sword & board build a try in Elden Ring. I agree that mage builds are generally really boring there.

If you have a Playstation 4, Bloodborne, hands down. Even has a Doll that Levels you up.

I respect the genre quite a lot. In my opinion Lies of P is significantly ahead majority of its competitors, including some of the games of the swamp pervert himself. I used to recommend DS1 for beginners, but now Lies of P looks like a better candidate. Since you are no longer a beginner, I would recommend Sekiro, the ultimate masterpiece

Thank you for the advice! How often do they have stargazer type things in DS III? I thought the way they were spread out in Lies of P was pretty good, not too far and not too close to each other.

DS3 is really good

Code Vein is also decent but that's already going into the ''meh'' territory. maybe you'd like it more than I did

[WhiteLezard]

If you didn't like Elden Ring you won't like any of the Dark Souls games or their clones.
Sekiro would be the closest to Lies of P; play that one and ignore the rest.

Sekiro is really good, if you never played give it a try

No problem. Again, the checkpoint placement seems pretty similar to LoP. Maybe slightly farther apart, but also each area is generally a little larger too. An area in DS3 is maybe the size of 1.5-2 chapters in LoP. It feels pretty fair.

If you're considering getting DS3, I recommend that you get the DLCs too. The Ringed City is better than Ashes of Ariandel, but I think that both of them are worth the price.

There does tend to be a bit of a difficulty hump in DS3 right near the beginning of the game. Don't get discouraged though, once you get through the first main area (after the tiny tutorial area) you suddenly have access to a lot more options for weapons and magic, and better grinding spots if you really need them.

Sekiro and the Nioh games

[Abaddon the Despoiler]

Sekiro is a great game.

I played a similar one called Thymesia too, it's a short game but it's pretty difficult and all about the parry timing.

[4tado]

Bloodborne Demake. Short and sweet and pretty tough. Not to mention free

[plump pickle]

Ghost of Tsushima comes in less than a month. Highly recommend that game for its difficulty in Lethal.

[Semystra The Nymth]

souls-borne and souls-like i reccomend if this is the first one you beaten

Dark Souls 3, Elden Ring, Sekiro if you liked the parry mechanic. if you have a ps4 i reccomend Bloodborne

Elden Ring also has a parry mechanic mod that has the parry mechanic and the rolling of bloodborne
