This world of gilding and shadows is a pleasure to occupy: PETER HOSKIN reviews Lies of P<\/h2>\n

Lies Of P (PlayStation, Xbox, PC, \u00a349.99)<\/h2>\n

Verdict: Honestly good<\/span><\/p>\n

Rating:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You know Pinocchio, right? Puppet kid. Wants to be a real boy. Has a supercharged, adamantine left arm. Carries a sword with the other arm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Uses them to pummel and slash his way through all the demented toy-monsters who populate his violent realm.<\/p>\n

Ah, actually, you may not know the Pinocchio from Lies Of P. The makers of this game have taken Carlo Collodi\u2019s original fairy tale and twisted it into something far more brutal.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not Collodi to whom they owe their biggest debt. It\u2019s another game: Dark Souls.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here is the same hyper-challenging combat: slash, dodge, parry, die, try again. Here are the same revivifying bonfires and limited-use health flasks, though they go by different names. Here is the same atmosphere of dread and discovery.<\/p>\n

If this has you saying that Lies Of P sounds derivative \u2014 doubly derivative! \u2014 you\u2019re not fibbing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I came into this one expecting the worst: a sort of angsty, teenage version of a superior game. But two things won me over.<\/p>\n

The first is Lies Of P\u2019s setting. The baroque, Eastern European-feeling city of Krat may simply be a new skin layered over Dark Souls\u2019 ruins and battlements, but what exquisite skin! This world of gilding and shadows is a pleasure to occupy.<\/p>\n

The other is the combat itself. Every thrust of Pinocchio\u2019s sword, or roll of his puppet-body, has a weight and moment to it that feels so satisfying in the hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the end, I was surprised: Lies Of P\u2019s dark ancestor is still superior, but only by a nose.<\/p>\n
