Review: Lies Of P: Complete Edition (Switch 2) - No Strings On This Superb, Immersive Soulslike
Lies of P: Complete Edition has arrived on Switch 2, bringing the acclaimed Soulslike to Nintendo’s new platform. Originally released in 2023 on other platforms, the game from developers Neowiz and Round8 Studio has earned significant praise from reviewers who position it among the finest entries in the Soulslike genre.
The Complete Edition represents a full port of the experience, which reviewers suggest stands distinctly apart from other Soulslike titles that attempt to emulate FromSoftware’s design philosophy. Unlike games such as Nioh, Lords of the Fallen, and The Surge—which pay homage to the Souls formula but fall short of capturing its essence—Lies of P demonstrates a deep understanding of what makes the genre work.
The developers clearly comprehend the core appeal of Soulslike games, crafting an experience that reviewers claim rivals the creative output of FromSoftware itself. For Switch 2 players seeking a challenging action RPG with the hallmarks of the Souls formula—deliberate combat, atmospheric world-building, and demanding boss encounters—Lies of P: Complete Edition offers substantial content.
The arrival on Switch 2 expands the game’s reach to players who may have missed it during its initial multi-platform launch. The Complete Edition likely includes all post-launch content and refinements made since the original 2023 release.
