Who are these murderous creations? Why are they killing people? You’ll find out eventually, but it’s time to bust up some puppets first.Ĭombat feels a little less hefty and crunchy than most FromSoft games and certainly less substantial than Bloodborne. It’s an unexpectedly disturbing scene, made even unsettling so by the fact that Lies of P just dumps you right in it with no explanation. The vast, gilded station is smeared and dripping with blood, while puppet policeman stagger awkwardly around the foyer, beating lifeless human corpses with their truncheons. The scene our hero finds himself in looks more like something out of Resident Evil 2 than Yharna. It all seemed a bit too familiar – and then I stepped off the train into Krat Central Station. You also have almost identical stats as any Souls like hero that do basically the same thing. He can – and should – block, dodge, and parry, and you spend Ergo (read: runes or souls) at save points to level up. Our hero has a fast attack and a strong attack. You have balanced, speedy, and powerful, which correspond to the same initial weapon styles in Bloodborne, and a phial of health that you inject when you take damage, again, just like in Bloodborne. He grabs Gemini, a computer program inside a glowing canister that’s pronounced Jiminey – as in Cricket – and then it’s time to choose your combat specialty. The Soulslike game’s demo starts with our hero, who you’d be forgiven for thinking is Timothee Chalamet, waking up on a train at the prompting of a blue butterfly. If you watched the new trailer and thought “Oh, it’s Pinocchio meets Bloodborne ,” you’re basically right. Neowiz announced a Lies of P demo during Summer Game Fest 2023, but we had a chance to go hands-on with the PC game ahead of time and walked away intrigued by the gothic fairytale world – even if the gameplay is perhaps a bit too much of an homage.
