So Leute was soll ich sagen, im First Look von #LiesofP auf @Cloudplay tanze ich leichtfüßig und absolut fehlerfrei durch die wunderbare Steampunk Welt von #CarloCollodi 🤥 OK, vielleicht sind einige Dinge aber auch gelogen 😜 aber schaut doch selbst
#LiesofP is an incredible #soulslike with a fantastic setting, great combat, and interesting customization systems. It also can run really well on the #SteamDeck with some tweaking!
We have been working on the wonderful #LiesOfP, and while it’s running alright so far on the #SteamDeck, our review is slightly delayed due to one reason.
I played #liesofp at #gamescom and died four times in 30 minutes. And I loved every minute! This will be the first #soulslike I’ll actually try to complete.
J'ai désinstallé la démo de Lies of P, il faut que je me rende à l'évidence et que j'accepte que les souls-like en 3D c'est pas pour moi.
En attendant de trouver la motivation d'installer EmuDeck, je refais Chasm ! Sur une plateforme portable ça me rappelle mes vacances passées à jouer à Castlevania sur Game Boy Advance ☺️
I'm not one for "New Year's resolutions", but I am one for overly ambitious projects.
For 2023, Project365 is "One New Game Per Day".
Given that I have 634 unplayed games in my Steam account and {mumble} unredeemed bundle Steam keys, there's a reason my unplayed collection is tagged "Pile of Shame".
I'll pin this to my profile, and give a brief summary here each day (or x, if I miss x days due to work or stuff).
I'll play 15-30 minutes of (at least) one new game I've never played before (or played less than 15 minutes of). I'll give every game at least 15 minutes, even if I hate every minute of it.
I'm also open to suggestions; if you reply to this thread with a game, I'll schedule it, or tell you what I thought of it.
One of the things that's come up is that I have a bunch of games that I've played once, and not touched again.

Something a little different today. A review of Jodie Whittaker's Australian accent.
OK, not really (although it's passable, and justifiable with her backstory of having been living in the UK and returned to Australia).
As far as I remember, this is the first time I've reviewed an Xbox Game Pass game, which means I get to play Lies of P without dropping A$100 or more on it.
Lies of P is a third-person soulslike set within a retelling of the Pinocchio story. You play as P (ie. Pinocchio), who's suddenly awakened, seated in a train, in what very much appears to be mostly-human form, with the exception of a mechanical arm.
A voice calls to you to meet her at a hotel, but to get there, you first need to escape the train station, which is full of mechanical people determined to kill you.
You're presented with one of three initial playstyles, and I chose the one with the (seemingly) most straight-forward attack style (and the most HP).
Lies of P is set in the Belle Époque era. I had no idea what that was, but it's basically late 19th Century Europe through to WWII. The environment is beautiful.
One of the most lessons I learned the hard way, is don't make the mistake of skimming each of the tutorial pop-ups. Turns out they're kind of important.
Even so, by the time I hit the 32 minute mark, I'd traversed the same set of mobs five or six times, and died on the first boss repeatedly.
Blocking is incredibly important, both for restoring energy, and for staggering the mobs. Unfortunately, it requires very good timing, and I don't quite seem to be able to pull it off yet.
This is where XGPU is most useful to me. If I put in another couple of hours, and it's not a game I'm going to improve at (some of them aren't, thanks hand-eye coordination!), then nothing lost.
Not quite sure what I'll do when I have to start paying full price for XGPU, but that's a problem for 2027 Allie.
