I picked up "Mafia: Definitive Edition" cheap the other day (I've linked it on Steam as it's still on sale for the next few days).

I was a fan of Mafia (the original from 2002) and felt it was cheap enough to give it a shot and I'm glad I did: besides the infamous/arduous racing level I found it to be very enjoyable overall.

I was sad to see that there wasn't any "Freeride Extreme" in the latest version (this was bonus, fun, ludicrous content, available after completing the game) as it would have been a nice addition, the "Freeride" mode is likewise a little lackluster but the actual campaign is great.

What was the last game you finished? Was it any good?

I just finished Lies of P. If you haven't heard of it, it's a souls-like game that takes story elements from Pinocchio.

I found it a lot more approachable than other souls-like game. It's a lot more linear (but I don't think it suffers from that) and does a better job of introducing you to game mechanics. What also made it more approachable was the parry system felt a little more forgiving and there is always a save point right before a big boss (so even if you're stuck on one, you can keep jumping right back in).

I'd give it a 9/10

I really loved the parry mechanic of Sekiro. I know the games were developed by different companies. Are you able to make any comments about how they compare?

If you like Dark Souls/Sekiro/Bloodborne then you will love Lies of P. It's very high quality. If you didn't know better - it could've been made by From Software.

The biggest complaints are that it's almost not original in how well it copies every single facet of From Software. They're clearly very talented - I'd love to see what they do if they added their own spin.
