It ain't over 'till the cricket sings.
as a fun but fleeting taste of its inspiration. What I didn't anticipate, however, was a dash of spice from Neowiz Games that's actually anIt's a subtle change, but it addresses a huge pain point in the boss fights of FromSoftware's rogue's gallery. In Lies of P your Estus Flask equivalent—Pulse Cells—work exactly how you'd expect. You press a button, you get a chunk of healing back, you rinse and repeat until you either win or are pulverised.
I like an old-fashioned Souls boss: a classic drag-out brawl with a crafty bastard holding a swiss army knife of attack patterns for me to memorise. The teething pains, however, come when I've chewed through my stock of healing items. This can lead to dissatisfying midway points in the fight where I'm fresh out of juice, knowing I'm doomed to the next missed parry or fumbled dodge. If I'm especially annoyed, I'll even run into the arms of death just to get it over with.
The Pulse Cell system, however, dangles a carrot on a stick in front of the player. It's a little Jiminy Cricket whispering in your ear:"Hey, clutch this for the next minute, and you'll be back in the game." It recharges slowly—slowly enough that you'll usually earn yourself one extra cell per attempt—but it's just enough to keep you in the ring.
Because of this change, I never had that fatalistic thought of"I might as well die and reset". Instead I stuck it out, dancing on a razor's edge to get myself a second chance. I thought back to how much more exciting some of my favourite FromSoftware fights—like Genichiro or the Knight Artorias—might have been with that tiny sliver of hope.
