Lies of P (+ Overture)
First playthrough. Probably 70-80% through everything. Pretty easy A-tier Soulsborne game, on the same level as Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 for me. The direct comparison is easy too since I just replayed Bloodborne a few weeks ago. This is the kind of game I wanted Elden Ring to be more like, not in scope but in encounter and general combat design. And UI and QOL improvements.
A couple of the mini-bosses and the swamp monster have been a bit much imo, but I'm having fun. Most of the encounters are well considered, attacks feel visceral, and level design is solid if self-contained.
