Lies of P - What Makes It Great? (Analysis & Critique)

Is Lies of P a real souls game, or is it just another cheap copy?

This is my critique/analysis of Lies of P. It focuses on analyzing the different design choices of the game and figuring out what worked and what could be improved by subsequent games.

This is also the second video of this type that I've made, so there's undoubtedly plenty I can learn (Hopefully it's a step up from the first!). Let me know if you have any feedback for what could be improved next time, especially regarding audio levels and clarity, or just general video essay advice.

I plan to make more of these kinds of reviews / video essays, so I appreciate all of your feedback, negative and positive, and I will do my best to improve!

Here are some buzzword sentences to make the video more searchable:
This video essay contains footage from the Neowiz game, Lies of P, published on PlayStation, Xbox and PC. This game is some people's Game of the Year, some people are calling it the best Dark Souls style game not made by FromSoft. I try to maintain a balanced perspective, rather than being overly positive or negative. Gameplay was recorded in 4k on PC. Footage from Sekiro, Nioh 2, and Dark Souls courtesy of IGN.
