One Year Later, Lies Of P’s Gothic Fantasy Still Stuns
18.9.2024
Ever since FromSoftware released the action RPG Demon Souls in 2009, the rest of the video game industry has been (lovingly) copying it. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, as the saying goes. Amongst a wealth of solid takes on the genre, last year’s dark fantasy title Lies of P stands...
10 Soulslike (And Not So Soulslike) Games To Play After Black Myth: Wukong
9.9.2024
Even if you’re not a fan of Soulslike games (and this game definitely is one!), Black Myth: Wukong is an exceptional action-RPG everyone should experience. Yeah, it’s challenging and, occasionally, unforgiving. But that’s part of its charm. It introduces you to unique characters from ancient...
Black Myth: Wukong Sounds Like A Pretty, But Repetitive And Buggy, Action Game
16.8.2024
Four years after it was announced, Black Myth: Wukong is finally in the hands of critics who have reviewed the third-person action RPG ahead of its August 20 release. The general consensus seems to be that while the upcoming game looks great and has some cool boss designs, it’s buggy, too easy,...
Bloodborne Kart Takes A Pit Stop Thanks To Sony Lawyers
29.1.2024
There’s almost never any Bloodborne news. Whenever the game does get talked about online, it’s either copium or hopium as fans of FromSoftware’s gothic Soulslike chomp at the bit for a remake or remaster of the 2015 action RPG. While no such thing is in the works as far as we know, there is...

27.12.2023
2023 is nearly over, finally, but at least there were some great games to get us through it, right? This year was full of great releases, but marred by myriad layoffs across sectors (including the games industry), and larger, global issues that made it hard to find the light in the dark. But video...

Lords Of The Fallen Sounds Like 2023’s Most Divisive Soulsborne
12.10.2023
Lords of the Fallen sounds like the best and worst parts of the Soulsborne genre all rolled into one. Hexworks’ grim action-RPG arrives in a year full of homages to FromSoftware’s Dark Souls, and so far critical assessments run the gamut from high praise to exhausted disappointment.Read more

21.9.2023
Lies of P, the punishing Soulslike about Pinocchio looking for his dad Geppetto, has plenty of tough enemies waiting to meet you. They’re all terrifying, ranging from a poison-imbued slug beast to a dude who literally thinks he’s God, but there’s one mini-boss who sucks so much I can’t wait to meet...
Lies Of P: The Kotaku Review
20.9.2023
Lies of P frustrates me. The first Soulslike from developers Neowiz Games and Round8 Studio, this gothic action-RPG keeps kicking my ass no matter how many times I level up. It’s aggravating. And yet, I keep pulling myself from the comfort of my Starfield spaceship to descend into the chaos...

Lies Of P’s Dodge Roll Shouldn’t Be This Bad At The Start

Lies of P has been kicking my ass all weekend long. That’s to be expected of a Soulslike action-RPG, sure, but even after over 20 hours of game time, this steam-goth retelling of Pinocchio has really been doing me in due to one particular problem: the clunky dodge mechanic.Read more

8 Lies Of P Tips To Help You Survive This Brutal New Soulslike
15.9.2023
Lies of P is a tough game. Everything can kill you, from the hardest of bosses to the most predictable of trash mobs, which is to be expected of a Soulslike game. Although there’s no difficulty setting to make the Bloodborne-inspired RPG any easier, there are some tips you can take with you as...
That Gothic Pinocchio Soulslike Has A Pretty Neat Weapon Durability Mechanic
15.9.2023
Look, if you ask me, weapon durability is some bullshit. It’s ostensibly meant to encourage experimentation, but its implementation in games like Dead Island 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom does more to create headaches than to inspire some extemporaneous testing of a variety...
