Thanks! Nice, put it rly high up on this year's backlog if you ask me ^^ aka play it as soon as possible.TuFaN nice write up. Lies of P is in my backlog for this year. I’m curious though. Is there a heavy focus on parrying? I love the Souls games, but Sekiro was too much for me.
The entire game is nowhere near a Sekiro level of difficulty, and I like that!! I am not a huge fan of Sekiro either. Therefore, parrying is not a must. It feels good whenever you do, and the longer you play, the faster you'll figure out the enemy attack patterns, and parrying will become even easier, but no, you can play the entire game with rolling out of harms way or making use of the guarding (blocking) mechanic.
Slight spoiler incoming, I will tell you the only time you need to make heavy use of the parry system in the entire game without mentioning any names, what the enemy exactly does and ofcourse no story spoilers -->
The only time you need to use parry is during the second phase of the very final boss of the game. Why am I saying very last boss and not just last boss? Cuz he is actually optional, you can decide yourself if you wanna fight him or not. Finishing the first phase without parrying is already kinda difficult, but trying to kill him during his second phase without perfectly timed blocking, aka parrying, I dunno about that one. You would make the fight much harder for yourself if you'd refuse to parry. You can start your next playthrough, aka NG+, without fighting him (which I would not recommend, of course, because that fight was the most interesting and enjoyable one for me personally).
