Is it as good as Bloodborne? Lies of P demo divided player opinion

After a long wait, Lies of P finally has a release date. Best of all, Neowiz released a demo of its long-awaited title so players can take a look at it before its debut.

The community has shared their first impressions on social networks, so we know that the demo divided the opinion of gamers. While some fans keep comparing it to Bloodborne, others believe that Lies of P doesn't deserve such honor.

Gamers give their opinion about Lies of P

Many gamers are excited for the debut of Lies of P, especially after trying out its demo. Most of the community thinks the trial version is great and shows that the title has something interesting to offer.

As expected, comparisons with Bloodborne were present. There are players who believe that Lies of P is a great tribute to the PS4 exclusive, but there are also people who think it draws too much inspiration from FromSoftware's game.

Because of this, on social networks you can read criticisms that point to Lies of P, for being too inspired by Bloodborne and even copying its animations. Other people who tried the demo feel that it is unfair to compare the titles, as clearly Bloodborne is far superior.

Players also asked to stop comparing it to Bloodborne, as they feel that Neowiz does not want to be known for only offering a clone of that title. The difficulty of the game was also discussed and several people believe that Lies of P is not at all accessible, less for players who are new to the genre.

Finally, there are fans who believe that too many expectations were created around Lies of P. They think it's an acceptable game, but that in the end it sticks to a formula that works without offering anything innovative beyond its theme.

Trying out the Lies Of P demo, and there honestly no getting around it, this is absolutely "we have Bloodborne at home!"

And obvious unavoidable comparison out of the way, it's pretty good so far. It looks very nice, at least. pic.twitter.com/P4RszffvTG

Lies of P. Very solid, impressive experience based on the demo. Beautiful art and atmosphere. People are comparing it to Bloodborne, buts it’s not quite the same vibe. Far less Victorian horror-y, nice feel. pic.twitter.com/e4EfD5muRp

Here we go with the "Lies of P is a rip-off" 🙄

For years fans were begging for Bloodborne 2, Bloodborne on PC or Remastered. That's not happening, so somebody makes a spiritual successor that is challenging, has strong art direction and 4k 60 FPS, but ya'll don't want it https://t.co/qXgBzqpqdq
