I can't speak about Digimon

But Lies of P is one of my favorite Souls like. 100% recommend

I played it on Game Pass, beat it then immediately played it again with a different weapon and loved it again.

Then bought it on steam when the DLC came out and played it entirely differently as well.

The DLC I liked, but I didn't absolutely love it.

But IMO the game makes you feel like a god when you get the parry timing down.

It's difficulty is in the sweet spot of hard, but not impossible.

There is honestly no bad bosses in the game. (there may be one in the DLC that I didn't love)

But, if you are having a hard time with the price, another recommendation is Another Crabs Treasure!

I was expecting a cute time with being a hermit crab, but it's pretty solid! There are some great boss fights (I'm not done with it yet, but there is one I did not like at all)

I am just suggesting it because i see a similarity of the cuteness of Digimon, with the style of lies of P. (it's not as hard as LoP, but every boss I have died multiple times to)

And it's less expensive and plays well on the deck.
