Grievous Strikes in Lords of the Fallen are very similar to Ripostes in the Dark Souls games, Visceral Attacks in Bloodborne, or Fatal Attacks in Lies of P.

The P-Organ system in Lies of P is something special. It's an interesting concept that makes every unit of Quartz that players put into it feel like a noticeable improvement. Not only are major new abilities unlocked when Pinocchio fills all the slots on an Upgrade, but each slot that they fill is another ability of some sort that enhances Pinocchio in some way.
