Critically acclaimed souls-like Lies of P has sold 1 million copies

Lies of P, the critically acclaimed souls-like from NEOWIZ based around Pinocchio, has sold over 1 million copies since its release last month. In case you missed our review, we absolutely loved our time as P, stating, “Lies of P is a gorgeous, bloody, unforgiving game which builds off the well-tread souls template to create a wholly original adventure that never ceases being a joy to explore and experience. With top tier combat, fantastic enemy and boss designs, and intricate and often interweaving areas to explore, the game remains fresh despite the 30+ hours required for a first playthrough. I may be a sucker for these types of games, but Lies of P hit absolutely every note needed to draw me into its often grotesque yet surprisingly emotional world. Lies of P may be based on a well-known and over told fairy tale, but watching it unfold in a mature setting with a likable cast of characters and dire stakes made the story that much more enthralling.” Lies of P is available now for the PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and on Game Pass.
