Lies of P isnt just another souls clone, its a love letter to fromsoftware and fans. Developers managed to preserve what makes souls games tick and at the same time add enough elements of their own to make their game stand out. Not only that but it also comes as a complete package: great gameplay, great locations design, great visuals, great soundtrack, great characters and story, etc.

Game's difficulty is slightly on a harder side. LoP gives equal importance to blocks, parries and dodges, and expects player to learn when its better to use different mechanics instead of always spamming the same move.
There aren't many weapons (around 40) but almost everything has its own unique moveset and its possible to make custom weapons by combining blades and handles from different stock weapons.
World design/progression is linear with plenty of optional and rewarding exploration to do inside each area.
LoP doesn't have the most technologically advanced graphics but visual design is simply amazing and its the most optimized UE4 game I've ever seen.
Storytelling is much more straightforward than typical fromsoftware, most of the story is given through cutscenes and dialogues (with some exceptional voice acting). And at the same time there are still many lore details left to discover on your own.

Overall Lies of P easily deserves 9/10 and in my opinion is the only "clone" comparable to fromsoftware's own games.
