Lies of P: Complete Edition on Switch 2 is one of the best Soulslikes not made by FromSoftware

Lies of P: Complete Edition has arrived on Switch 2, and Nintendo Life's review puts it firmly among the best Soulslikes out there — not just on the platform, but full stop. Developed by Neowiz and Round8 Studio, the game originally launched on other platforms in 2023 and now makes its way to Nintendo's new hardware with the complete package in tow.

The review pulls no punches: this is described as being as good as anything FromSoftware has made, which is high praise in a genre where most competitors fall short of that benchmark. The game offers an immersive world built for getting lost in, deep layered systems, and a roster of enemies and bosses designed to put you in the ground repeatedly. The Pinocchio-inspired setting gives it a distinct identity that sets it apart from the usual dark fantasy fare.

Lies of P stood out on PC and consoles in 2023 as one of the rare Soulslikes that genuinely understood what makes FromSoftware's formula work — not just the difficulty, but the atmosphere, the enemy design, and the sense of discovery. Most competitors in the genre, including Nioh, Lords of the Fallen, and The Surge, draw clear inspiration from Dark Souls but struggle to replicate the feel. Round8 Studio managed it, and the Complete Edition bundles everything into one release for Switch 2 players coming to it fresh.

For Switch 2 owners looking for a meaty, challenging action RPG to sink serious hours into, this appears to be the answer. The full review is live on Nintendo Life for anyone wanting the complete breakdown.
