The boss fight is a proud old gaming tradition and, often, rubbish. Sore from a lifetime of cheap boss tricks and thumb-numbing button bashing, we present our five least favourite boss encounters in games, alongside five much better ones to show them how it should be done. Spoilers ahead, so be warned.
Skewed and Reviewed have posted some gameplay from the retro game.
The best Souls-like not made by FromSoftware, Lies of P has now sold over three million copies since its 2023 release.
To celebrate, all members of the Round8 Studio development team will be rewarded with a two-week holiday, a bonus of 10 million KRW (~£5,400 / $7,300), and a Nintendo Switch 2.
I appreciate this way of doing business. I may even buy Lies of P now because of it. Where your money goes it's literally the only leverage we have as consumers to make a difference in an industry we all have an opinion about. Withholding it or spending it in the right places is about all we can do.
This is fire. Just like the game. I haven't gotten the dlc yet, but im really thinking about it. I just thought it ended great, I really want to see what they do with Dorothy. Will you fight the Tinman, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, the Wicked Witch and Wizard of Oz? Maybe Toto's with us, that'd be fire.
For the moment there, I thought Lies of P will be ported to Switch 2. XD Anyway, congratulations to Round8 and the whole development team.

Shao Khan from MK9 needs to be on the list of worse boss fights ever.
Radec from KillZone 2......that cheap, good for nothing, four flushing sack of shit! Apart from that I loved that game :)
Worst boss battle in history is Vader in Feces Unleashed II.
First of all, you fight him 3 hours into the game. I thought it was just an introductory meeting where I wouldn't be able to kill him till the end of the game. Sadly, that was the end of the game!
Secondly, he starts warping around the dam room and you can't attack him and it was the most horrid, depressing boss battle in the history of gaming.
I'd rather play Adventure on Atari for 40 hrs straight.
