My first soulsborne game was Bloodborne and is still my favorite of the FromSoft series with Elden Ring just behind it. Playing Lies of P has seriously reminded me of when I first played Bloodborne and so it probably gets special bonus points just for that. Now I just have to wait until Friday for Lords of the Fallen!

The people who like these games generally don't get angry the same way you do (probably). I've died 30+ times to bosses before and felt disheartened. But the rush from the win makes it feel worth it.

Eh I'm calm as shit about games, usually I end up in peels of laughter with the comedic deaths.

Lies of P wasn't for me though. It felt less like the game was trying to get me to master the game, more like each boss was an individual challenge to master with little translation between them.

A shame, as I adored the base combat system and had a ball with the levels. I stopped playing after king of puppets, either bosses just folded or I felt like I had to memorise them.

The rabbit brotherhood was the exception, I adored that fight. Despite the multiple enemies it felt fair and tbh is the only multiple enemy boss in this style of game I've loved.

I honestly didn't mind dying to tough regular enemies. But the bosses were other worlds difficult. I can die 5-6 times without getting upset. After that, it gets rage inducing.
