The story is captivating, with charismatic characters and a very immersive narration.

The final bosses are incredible both in terms of audiovisuals and mechanics.
The level design constantly impresses with its natural interconnection.
The staging of Krat conveys indescribable sensations with its twisted and oppressive beauty.

A fast-paced, demanding, customizable gameplay...
A good lifespan (30-40 hours) to which the New Game

The deliciously dark adaptation of the Pinocchio universe...
A significant added value (Organ P, destruction of enemy weapons, assembly...)
A desire to be slightly more accessible than average.
A bestiary at the meeting
... Even though this patchwork aspect tends to make it suffer by comparison.
... Although there are some minor technical glitches and a downgrade.
... Penalized by an occasionally unstable balancing
... Where the exploration proves to be more linear than other productions of the genre.

Visual aspect that fills
Good representative of soulslike games
A story that progresses based on a system of truths or lies.
Good variety of weapons
Low interactive scenarios
It is becoming repetitive.
It offers few innovations to the genre.

The technical aspect and the sound are truly excellent.
Performing gameplay and deep role, especially the weapons system.
The game settings and style are inspired...
...I got too caught up in Bloodborne, the game lacks originality.
The recurring flaws of Soulslike games are also present in this case.

Tight combat that requires resourcefulness and quick reactions
Gorgeous visuals and unique world
Rewarding customisation mechanics
Lack of variety when it comes to enemies, bosses, and builds
Rather unchallenging once it clicks

Brilliant level design. Plenty of customisation options. Broad RPG elements.
Too challenging at times
especially in combat. Could benefit from taking a few more risks to make it stand out in the action-RPG scene.

Beyond Gaming
Graphically and aesthetically successful.
The arsenal of weapons
The gameplay largely meets the genre standards.
Boss fights are usually well-designed.
The optional vinyls have beautiful music.
Almost no originality
Perfect guards/parries just require a little too much precision.
To lie or not to lie is a binary system, except for an Easter egg.

Vida Extra
A macabre and brilliant version of the Pinocchio tale with an incredible atmosphere.
A challenge filled with traps, surprises, and details that will appeal to both novices and experts.
The fight feels wonderfully good against a bestiary with terrifying monsters.
Graphically, it is a marvel and technically it is a rock.
The outfits are underutilized and are only aesthetic accessories.
