Games like Lies of P

3.9average player rating•5 games

Lies of P asks for something most soulslikes don't: it wants you to move forward. Blocking bleeds you, retreating starves you, and the perfect guard gives back what the fight took. These share that appetite — for the parry, for the ruined city worth walking through, or for both.

The picks

Ranked by player rating, Metacritic breaks ties.

1
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
ActionRPG
The purest version of the idea Lies of P borrows: deflect on the beat or lose. No build to hide behind, only timing.
4.4/5Player ratingMC90View game
2
Thymesia
Action
Short, plague-soaked and relentlessly aggressive. It punishes hesitation harder than Lies of P does, and it takes a tenth of the time.
4.1/5Player ratingView game

Nioh 2
Action
For when you want the combat to keep opening up. Stances, skill trees and loot turn the same fight into a dozen different ones.
4.0/5Player ratingMC85View game

Steelrising
ActionAdventureRPG
The closest sibling in tone — clockwork automatons in a gorgeous, collapsing belle-époque Paris, fought at the same deliberate pace.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
Action
Built entirely around the deflect, with a morale system that makes running past enemies a genuinely bad idea.
