About this game
Lies of P is a PlayStation 5 adventure game centered on combat encounters, area and route exploration, and story, case, or mission progress. Locations, objectives, and clues gradually open the main chapters, with progress divided into stages, tasks, matches, or growth milestones that make immediate goals understandable. Its value depends on whether these rules continue to create judgment and room for mastery rather than on length, sales, or series recognition. Short campaigns are judged by repeat-challenge value, while longer ones are judged by variety, pacing, and recovery after failure. Theme, character expression, and environmental clues need to support exploration together, while SSD streaming, 4K and HDR output, 3D audio, performance or quality modes, and high-density interfaces need to preserve feedback and information clarity together. The genre-specific limitation is that guidance, objective triggers, camera behavior, or dense text can create search and comprehension costs. Platform conditions also include install size, SSD space, patch version, DualSense battery life, visual mode and frame rate, online dependencies, PS VR2 requirements, and cross-generation version differences affect the current release. This description covers only this platform release and does not import features or conveniences from remasters, emulators, or other console editions.

PlayStation 5AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
Interlocking defence and weapon experiments anchor a strong action game.
Lies of P makes defence part of an active exchange. Precise guards, recovery through retaliation and interchangeable blade-and-handle combinations encourage learning rather than relying on one attack. Legion Arms and character growth provide further ways to rethink a difficult encounter. The progression is comparatively linear, however, and sharp challenge spikes can interrupt its momentum. Puppet movement, city art and sound give the distorted fairy tale a persuasive identity of its own. The cited PS5 review finds performance mode largely maintaining 60fps, useful for timing-sensitive combat, with limited DualSense features. This assessment covers the original 2023 base game, excluding later expansions and difficulty revisions.
Strengths
- Interlocking defensive and weapon systems.
- Distinctive dark-fairy-tale presentation.
Weaknesses
- Uneven challenge spikes.
- Comparatively linear areas.
Who it is for: Action players willing to study enemy timing and builds.
