1:49 “camera was sometimes less than helpful”. Nice, a true soulsborne game.
I'm eagerly anticipating the day when you manage to 100% complete a game even before it's officially created!
thats easy :D All he needs to do is wait for the next Larian game. Wait for open beta consisting of part of act1, complete that :D
He already has bro
I dub beating a game before its creation a ‘Doc Brown’
“Mortism here coming at you in your dreams from the quantum review space…”
Let him cook.
how the hell are you this efficient when it comes to completing games after they're released good god
He gets early copies and it’s literally his job. Think of all the hours you put into your job, and imagine that instead all you did was play video games. You’d be able to complete games very fast as well
@@TC-wg1gx I appreciate the work ethic
@@TC-wg1gxHe manages to 100% games like Starfield or BG3 which would take hundreds of hours as soon as the games come out. Assuming he has the review copy early for a few weeks, that would still take like 12 - 15 of play time per day, every day, to finish. And that’s not counting the time to write a video script, cut out footage, editing, voiceover for YT.
People say stuff like “it’s easy when your job is to play video games all day” doesn’t consider that gaming isn’t as fun and relaxing when you are chasing a deadline. It’s just as stressful as any other job.
There's no way he is the only one involved in production. I'm sure he has at least an editor and writer as well. Having a small focused team is mad efficient.
I would guess it's a team
Mortym, not gonna lie, sometimes I think you are a machine for 100% games.
we don't have any evidence proving that he isn't.
"My body is a machine that turns REVIEW COPIES into 100% COMPLETION REVIEWS" -mortismal (probably).
No idea how he does it, ever 100% a game in my life. I love games but I can’t replay them, he’s built different
I love this channel, i just thought maybe multiple people play games on one account? I wouldnt care tbh
@@todhold2673, 1oo% for most games is...a lot of time.. it's very different from just "finishing the game" by, like most people, just finishing the story.
It can double to quadruple or even more the time spend playing...
I’m really amazed at how well this runs on PC. I haven’t had any frame drops or stutters. This game is fantastic so far and I’m deep in
specs?
@@MegaOZX I’m running this with a 3060 TI with an i7-11700K and 16 gigs of ram. Mostly all settings at high at 1440p locked 60
@@markcampbell8590 eh, i think my 5 2600 and 1060 6GB won't be able to run then.
i feel like you can get higher fps in you unlock or go higher with the fps limit. i have the game maxed out with a rtx 2070 super at 1440 p and i stay 120 fps nearly the whole time and never drop below 105 in the very few moments it does dip@@markcampbell8590
My 3080 and i9-13900KF get absolutely rock stable 165FPS. Then again, this game is optimized for GTX 10 series cards.
Dev: here is a review copy, would you li- Mort: finished, 100%,🙂. Dev: O_o
I must say… I have made props for you and the way that you review games/the effort you put in to really let us know how a game is going to be before we actually buy the title. You do a fantastic job at what you do, and for that we are all extremely thankful to be a subscriber to your channel! Keep up the great work!! 👍🏻
Very helpful review. I appreciate the dedication to getting videos out once you've 100% them. It's very easy to blitz through something and give a moderate view of the experience but you go through everything there is to offer first. Much appreciated for that.
This is the first one I’m actually flabbergasted that you got it done so quick. Your channel is where I go now for information on new releases.
Always amazed at your sheer pace, Mortem. One of the best gaming media outlets these days
Your review def put this on my radar. Surprisingly good
Thanks for the heads up about the Denovo change. I hate it when company's do this underhanded crap when it comes to informing they're customers if they're adding something on the game right before release after all the reviews say it runs good so for me at least I'm gonna pick it up on a sale.
It runs perfectly, though. It has no performance impact on this title specifically, because it's optimized for potato specs. Denuvo only hits performance if the implementation is garbage.
The 100% aspect aside this just was a very comprehensive and well thought out review.
I am always amazed by how fast you 100% games. I am glad you are getting the recognition you deserve. The amount of work you put into these 100% videos is just insane.
I'm not sure you are actually still enjoying playing all those games, but as a game reviewer for 5+ years on several channels - I want to say that it is a great job and amazing level of efforts. Huge respect!
I cannot believe ENJOYMENT IS POSSIBLE AT THIS SPEED😂 its a JOB at this point. He ENJOYS the channel’s success so i would imagine the lost enjoyment from the necessary GRIND is replaced with channel success enjoyment. If i had to guess.
@@SirQuantization well, since you said PLEASE…

@@dr.rodders3329 🤣 well i am a likeable guy.
@@HOLLAifYouFEARmethis might be my dream job. Lmao. You never know. Maybe he embraces it
I was waiting for this one! Can’t wait to play it
I not even made my mind up if I want get this, an you already 100% it. Great content as usual.
So impressed how fast and thorough you do these
Dear sir, I'm putting a comment here only to be part of the people who give more chances to the youtube's algorithms to refer to you more often. You are definitively unique. Your reviews show how much of a passionate gamer you are along with your high analysis skills. This gives to people the most in depth and objective opinion we can find on the web and I'm reading about the video game industry and playing since 1984 and read/watched the reviews and previews of hundreds of people since 39 years. I don't know whether you can afford to delay your reviews regarding the impact of having your reviews published as early as possible but I wish you can in order to deliver the best criticism on a video game that can be found whether it's on the web or in paper magazines. Thank you with all my heart. By the way, I don't see the fact that you camera messes up completely when you're pushed into a corner as a default in Lies of P. It's like finding a way to heal during a fight and have some breath to do so. Getting into a corner is a sufficient way for me to take high risks within a fight to avoid it. It's part of the gameplay to avoid it but it's just my humble opinion for having dealt with the maths of 3D camera's movements management. Being cornered is always to be avoided in a game at all costs during fights and it applies to many genres. Again it's personal... Thanks a million again for your videos.
On my must-buy list. The demo completely won me over a few months back. I remember the initial screencaps that dropped for this a few years back and thinking... "Please let this one end up being good! This theme and gameplay combination are so perfect together". Glad to see my faith was rewarded lol!
Quick feedback after ~10 hours of play (roughly 50% of the game) : pay attention, the demo isn't necessarily a good image of the game. It's as if they put all the playtest and QA on this first part, but kinda missed the rest. More than hard, the game is unfair with ennemies chaining combos on you like a Street Fighters pro player.
@@StephSinalcogit gud
@@StephSinalcoyou know you can block and Parry?
I don’t see how the theme fits the gameplay at all tbh. You mean the visuals?
@@krusher181 The aesthetic, The Belle Epoque setting, the Steampunk inspired technology, taking the original darker Italian version of Pinocchio as a core inspiration. All of that combined with soulslike gameplay is *chef's kiss*
Great video as per usual!
Great Review, More reviews should start with Perfomance as yours did.
Great review. Lokking forward getting this game soon. Im new to these types of games but I love a challenge.
Nice one Morty son, I was waiting for this one and you didn’t disappoint as always!
Interested to know your plans for Rogue trader, I can’t believe it’s coming out in 2023. What a year!!
indeed. I was sure rogue would be march 24 or something
Great review thank you so much and it made me purchase a month with Gamepass and I am pre installing it as writing this. I like how you present the different aspect of the game split into areas such as crafting, combat, world etc very well done
Easily the best video game reviewer out there and I always look to this channel first when new games come out. Your reviews are spot on!
God I’m so excited to play this in the morning. It releases on gamepass at 11am 🎉🎉🎉🎉 great video as well 👌
Great review as always!!
I just love these games for their difficulty. I have Spend 600h in elden ring and am in General a really bad player, but every boss killed, sometimes even after hundreds of tries gives such a pleasure. In the second the boss is killed, all frustration from before gets converted into pure joy and satisfaction.
I just started into this game and am really looking forward. Thank you for your review!
I absolutely adore this game and will replay it in my rotation of timeless fromsoft games.
Excited for more
I'm loving this game so far. Bloodborne is my all time favorite game and I feel like Lies of P is a love letter to it. Or maybe a tightly written correspondence. The only knock I have is the window for a perfect guard is very tight. Like if you struggled with Sekiro, this game will humble you on the regular. Some of the mini boss mobs have been tougher than the actual boss fights. All and all though, this is a fantastic game and huge props to the devs for actually making a compelling souls like. I hope they end up doing a sequel if this one sells well.
As someone who loves Sekiro, I find parrying in this game to be stupidly hard. I'm loving the game in spite of how unnecessarily brutal perfect guarding is.
@@troy8420 yeah man. I was hoping they would get a patch out to make that window a bit less wonky. I think it just doesn't work very well with the enemy animation frames. I don't want it to be easy, but the current PG window just doesn't feel good.
its very strange because some attacks it feels like blocking anytime within the animation gets a perfect block and sometimes it feels like its 1 frame only@@PlayinWithGhosts
They just dropped a patch but as far as I can tell the perfect guard window is still the same. Some quality changes in the patch notes though. I definitely agree that it's inconsistent, but some elbow grease and will to overcome are still fun mechanics imho. 🤙🏻🖤
Once you beat the game you will get a big hint at the sequel :) I cant freaking wait!
I have no idea how Mortismal slams through games so quickly.
you can see his steam account that he has linked in the description...the answer is over 160 hours in 2 weeks...so our man is playing video games for over 10 hours a day :D
He plays 12 hours a day. Literally that's it.
Dedication.
@@CloudKXIIThanks for stating the obvious
@@Behaving_Golem np
You've 100% convinced me to get this game when i was so on the fence about it, i played the heck out of the Demo after this, and im getting this game ASAP! I love this more than Dark Souls, i dont know what it is about this game, but im completely in love with it, ive found my perfect Forever game, Lies of P is a phenomenal game im completely smitten by it, i do not know how this slipped past my radar, if word of mouth sells this game, i implore more people to try it, i seriously do not know why this hasn't been talked about more, the world and lore is breathtaking and im just in awe and mesmerised by it all, with great thanks i thank you Mr Mortismal for bringing this game more so to my attention, and here i am thinking its just another 'souls' game, there so much more to this than what ive realised, wow this games a trip n a half 🤘
Fantastic detailed review Mort. I loved Lies personally. Absolutely loved the world and weapon system. Loved the combat and customisation. Really loved the hotel hub as well and playing the music and little details like how the cat reacts differently to you depending on how human you are etc. I do feel it was too linear though, Wish it opened up more like dark souls 1 or 2. Also some of the very late game areas were quite dull in comparison to early and mid game. Lastly the enemy variety got a bit repetitive at times. Overall I loved it though. Bring on that dlc!
Brother I don't even have to agree with you to respect how professionaly you treat you content. You are playing dozens of games in an astoundingly thorough manner, getting 100% completion on 100+ hour games and putting out very insightful reviews with an opinion of your own and not parroting what the gaming discourse consensus is pushing around. Again, I do agree with your insights most of the time, but I don't even HAVE to agree with you to RESPECT the amount of work you put in. I've seen your channel grow but I somehow feel you deserve more praise to your professionalism. Take care!
You give Jirard the Completionist a run for his money. 😤😤😤👍👍👍
You’re my go to for a lot of reviews man. Keep it up! We all love and appreciate what you do 🎉
Great review as always. I am terrible at souls-like games, but I love them anyway for their esthetics, so I keep trying them. I have to say that, so far, I am LOVING this game and I have gotten farther in this game than many I have tried. The look and atmosphere is stunning and the combat is fun and feels really impactful. Also, at least up until the point I have gotten to (I am in part 6 of I think 11), I have found it to be surprisingly friendly for terrible players like me if you are not too prideful to use the fight buddy, but I have been told it gets REALLY hard after this point so I may get stuck here. I also have 25 hours in the game so far when real players can possible complete the whole game in this time. So I don't want to misrepresent this as easy by any means.
I went the route of having Advance as my primary damage stat. This has allowed me to switch to slow and fast weapons without losing much damage as I am relying more on the status damage. I also like the fact that it is also improving elemental throwables making them super effective as well. I have been using a shock weapon on the puppets and fire on monsters. I also have an acid weapon that I suspect will be good against something specific too but I am not sure what yet.
I also really like the heart modification and weapon modification system (yes I know it's not called a heart but I refuse to use the ridiculous name they gave it). If I were to have a small gripe though is that the game intentionally limits the creativity of weapon and hilt combos by making weapons bad at certain attack types and hilts are locked to specific attack types and you are penalized if they don't match up. For example some weapons are "good" at slashing and "bad" at stabbing, so if you move the weapon to a new hilt that is a stabbing hilt, it does less damage. The penalties always make sense logically, but it does hurt you if you want to make some of the fun and creative combinations the system is capable of.
Interesting, you say this is the soulslike that u do best at, but ppl usually say lop is much harder than other soulslike
@@VDViktor This is pure speculation, but I think that others who have way more experience and skill with other souls games may be used to a very different timing system. Because I have no expectations, the odd slow timing does not bother me as much. The other thing is block and parry. It seems like (other than BB, everyone does a lot of dodging. For me the LoP block parry system makes the game more forgiving as a failed parry is just a block that I can recover from.
Been waiting for ur review on this one. Potential is high but also kinda unknown too
Glad you you really drilled in the emphasis on blocking. This game will punish you hard if you don't master the perfect guard. Yet for some reason a number of other reviews/forum posts have mentioned that they "never really bothered to learn the perfect guard" and then simultaneously rail against the game's "near-impossible" difficulty.
Awesome review dude
I love how you do steam deck review in your reviews :-) I am buying game for both my PC and steam deck and this game with this graphics play at 60 fps on steam deck, i was shocked!
Do you script your videos or just record on the fly? I cant get my head around how you get time to 100% and put out half-hour reviews so damn quickly, impressive!
Idk what it's called, but he has a video where he goes into great detail about his process. He has maximized efficiency to an extreme degree and also works 15-hour days at times. He's like Rock Lee, he's a genius of hard work.
I write bullet points as I play and then organize them afterwards so I dont forget certain subjects, I dont write a full script.
@@MortismalGaming You're like the human version of perfected AI content creation. Extreme efficiency.
@@tedwilson1477 Makes one wonder why do we need to invest money and time advanced technology to automate work when we can just squeeze every last drop of vitality from a human being and get the job done in a way said advanced technology simply cannot.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a train to catch at the Exploit-station.
I just started with the game but am very impressed so far. Runs great on PC too.
Thanks for another banger review. Unfortunately if it has denuvo that’s a no for me, I don’t like third party software with more power over my OS than I have.
@@Leaf__22not if they have ring 0 DRM/anti cheat, most do not.
@@Leaf__22denuvo has absolutely nothing to do with a game being multiplayer it not.
It’s anti piracy software.
Ooh that weapon customization sounds cool.
It makes me so happy when I see reviewers dedicate a small section of their video to Steamdeck performance.
I feel like the Steamdeck is almost fully accepted as the "third console" of this console generation. And it fills that spot rather well. It's extremely budget friendly, has easy to use UI, and a great baby's first step into PC gaming.
As someone who's balling on a budget but would still like to play the latest games during my free time every now and then, the steamdeck has been a lifesaver. I know not every AAA game that releases works great, but being able to get through Armored Core 6 and now Life of P portably has been amazing. Thanks for the review!
Third? You got Xbox, Sony and Nintendo… so def would be 4th.
@@krusher181 The nintendo switch would be part of the last console generation. I.e. ps4, xbox one. Not this current one.
How is this even possible (early access I know) - seriously though you are a machine and bring out the best content
You 100% a game in 6 days? Im impressed on many levels. Here is 101% for you… MY RESPECT EARNED😂
You are my new source for reliable reviews.
Game is running flawless so far on ps5
Best reviewer on the block
You, SkillUp, & ACG are the only reviewers I put any stock into. You’re an animal for 100% all these games, especially since this year has been so stacked.
I go to those same three reviewers every time. I don't always agree, but I do always trust their informed opinions.
@@Jeremus717me too. They do a good job of seperating objective truths about a game from subjective views.
Acg for me. I have yet to disagree with him about a title. It would seem me and him have very similar taste in games
I also trust Gameranx!
@@brandonnelson94 yes, I totally forgot about them. Idk how, I watch their videos every day lmao
This is what I was waiting for! Mort you legend.
Great review.
Cool glad you reviewed this
Good video!
I always thought this game looked alright, but now I'm pretty excited for it. Seems they added a lot of cool things to the genre
its new and sorta free cant beat that but what sucks for me its that its a souls like.
@@purextreme5460do you just dislike soulslike?
Is it possible to open the glass cases in the trinity sanctums? Between the triangular chairs? I have attempted to combine multiple equipment pieces in the first sanctum, without success.
Dude, your review is awesome. This is how you do a review. Other reviews are just wasting our time.
Performance in this game is so underrated. It can run smoothly on higher settings with a GTX 1650 which is so rare in 2023.
Your Positives/Negatives pretty much line up with me after I put into 16 hours into the game
I don't know how you did it but your reviews always accurate and reliable , if you say you have clone yourself to 100% this game it would be a LIE but I won't surprised lol
Can u please tell me what that golden stargazer is in the "Path of the Pilgrim" area? (Next to the grave where u get the bunny mark)
I’ve heard a lot of praise for this game but I’m far more curious about the angle of how much content the game has to offer and how replayable it is.
So as always I really appreciate your reviews, they mean so much more than other content creators where it’s never even clear how much they’ve played.
You are an an absolute machine of efficiency
You're the reviewer I go to by default. Because you're always fair and reasonable. And it really matters that you play the whole game. Because sometimes a game that take time to "get going" (or has a steep learning curve) can turn into an incredible experience. Plenty of book are like that too; you have to get through the "blah" before you get to "cant put it down". Thank you.
Will get into it post Starfield and BG completion
About to be on ng+ plus. The power pyx guide kinda worries me. Was ng plus a ton harder and more frustrating? Any tips?
Thanks for telling us about the sly alip of denovo right before release. It's nice that unlike them you don't bury the lead. That shady move alone almost turns me off the game completely
I saw this and it reminded me of Vampyr. Vampyr is soo good. The intrigue, ambiance combined with the protagonist struggle is top notch. I can't wait to try this game.
Just by looking I get bioshock infinite vibes with the enemies and a souls game. Can’t wait 2 play
I don't think you mentioned how long it took you to beat it. I think that it would be nice of you to mention that too. Nice review +1 subscriber
Bit under 30 hours for the first playthrough
@@MortismalGaming Thanks 👍
You are a freakin gaming machine my guy.
Regarding the souls like comparison. The blocking and parrying is reminiscent of Sekiro. If you like that style of gameplay mechanic. Youll like this
6 days and you 100% it. amazing.
Is there a way to make the HUD smaller? Maybe it’s cause of how close up you are to your character but the icons look huge to me
Questions.
-How high is the max upgrade level for special weapons?
-What weapons and build did you use, and do you have any favorite combos or special weapons?
As always impressive.
Bro the rewiew is amazing, the onyl thing i would like to say is , you don't have a pretty high end computer, you got the highest performing gpu out here :D
On the consumer level that makes sense for gaming, correct.
The story really reminds me much more of "I Robot" than Pinocchio. Something I find super cool.
Maybe you can do Enclave after 100% or starwars Jedi academy. Great vid.
The game runs perfectly on my PS5. I love the flame thrower Legion arm
Fantastic review!! Earned my sub🔥💪🏻. What build would you recommend for first playthrough (ie, Strength, Dex, Quality or Advance) ?
I went with motivity
@@MortismalGaming Thx. Already started w Technique… struggling w difficulty spikes/boss encounters.
I'm gonna get this thanks :)
I forgot that I unlocked the dodge from prone. Thanks for the reminder
Slipping in Denuvo is a very scummy move. Steam should have rules against doing thing like this.
Something like "If you add Denuvo to the game then you have to wait atleast 3 months before you can sale it starting from the anoucement date" or something like that.
Ive only played about 13 hours and im taking my time exploring a bit and going back for side quests but how does one get that sword please?
Denuvo = they don't get my money. I know some other ppl feel the same, so hopefully more will do the same and they will finally learn this is NOT a fair practice. Thanks for letting us know, great content as always!
thanks for the review been thinking about getting this one for a while now, i have 1 question. do you have a review for the first original sin game.
Not a review specifically, I made a lot of videos for it but it kind of predated when I started doing reviews
@@MortismalGaming ah right gotcha
I never saw the second phase as a problem. Most first phases are simple and easy to manage and, as you said, you grow to expect them after chapter 6 (Romeo).
my biggest minor gripes are:
1. the "starting classes'" offensive attribute splits disincentivize you from changing your build later, since you would then be missing 6 points from your main stat. just put those three stats at 10 for all starting classes.
2. some non elemental weapons should have handles with advance scalings added to their already existing scalings, this wouldn't make any difference for people playing with non elemental blades, but advance builds who already only have 3 weapons for more than half the game could at least get some variety from the assembly system.
overall i loved playing through the game though.
Are you able to adjust the UI? The visuals look amazing but the hud looks really bad
Two of my friends never realized you could re-spec at the coin tree before the sainted statue
For me it runs good with a rysen 5700x + RX 590.
The only bug this far (~12h) was a small decay water still being there but disapeared after restarting the game.
It really is the most direct clone of soulslike combat, i'd like to see a competent take on DMC and God Hands mechanics, maybe sometime in the future.....
Got it on pre order after playing the demo.Still gonna play cyberpunk first tho i really miss that game and with 2.0 update and DLC is just i cant say no.But yes lies of p after.Glad you liked morty means it was good buy.
So basically an other "maybe when on a sale" game, at least for me.
Thanks for the review.
You are a god among men. Idk how you platinum all these souls games but it's hella impressive
Thank you so much. Money saved! Muchas gracias.
Can you return games in steam if deNuvo is added post puchase?
(yes/no/complicated-mixed/uncertain/dunno)?
Its just the normal refund policy as far as I know
