Players have now finished the DLC and one fan has suggested them to try out Lies of P from Neowiz Games and Round8 Studio if they are unsure about what to play next. The fan recommended the game to the player calling it “one of the best Soulslikes ever made!”

The game was released in September 2023 and the story of the game is adapted from Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio and presented in the form of a dark and mysterious tale of survival in the fictional city of Krat. The story follows Pinocchio across the city of Krat and as he takes on evil Puppets.

The developers have already said that the game will be getting a DLC as well as a sequel. The DLC is scheduled to release in the second half of 2024 but is still without an exact launch date. The DLC is expected to bring characters from The Wizard of Oz to the game but nothing can be confirmed as of now.

Fans have said that it is an underrated game and every Soulslike fan should play it. One player said that Lies of P is the “rare case” when a non-FromSoftware developer achieves FromSoftware standards. Another fan said that it’s one of their best titles from 2023 and they are waiting for the DLC.

Although some have said that the replay value of the game isn’t so well, they have enjoyed playing the game. One player called it “easily the best Soulslike I’ve ever played,” praising the game’s story, build options, and weapon system.
