While Disney has just put its live-action version of Pinocchio (with Tom Hanks in the role of Gepetto) online on Disney+, on the video game side, we can count on the Round8 studio to tell us about a modernized and above all very dark version of the tale by Carlo Collodi. Since its announcement in May 2021, Lies of P (for Pinocchio) has been fascinating, both in its unexpected Gothic artistic direction and its Souls-like concept that no one would have imagined. However, since gamescom and the first hands-on, the feedback has been more than positive and the game has gained some popularity. Just to add a layer and validate the feedback from journalists returning from Cologne, the developers have just published 40 minutes of pure gameplay in 4K format, divided into two videos (one of 31 min, the other of 9 min) , to give us yet another glimpse of what's to come in 2023. The Darks Souls/Bloodborne recipe is definitely here, with tough enemies to take down by surprising them with different types of weapons, and this mechanical arm capable of transforming grapple or send a burst of electrical energy to paralyze the opponent. We also see the usefulness of such a weapon when he faces one of these police-looking bosses at the end of the video.
