• Story: It is certainly the most Unique and Cool take on Pinocchio story, the characters the environment and lore is so much detailed and cool, I just can’t put into words how cool this take is, and this is the 1st souls like game where I actually cared about side characters and it had me tear up at one point not gonna spoil but it is great moment.

• Gameplay: Hands down One Of The Best and Greatest part of this game is it’s gameplay, it the mix of BloodBorne and Sekiro (My fav FS games of all time). It had the combat style, weapons, upgrading systems from Bloodborne and Perfect Block/parry system from sekiro and hands down this is the best integration of both system I have seen and this perfect block system kinda ruin FS games for me, also the combat depth did not stop there it had legion arms system where you can build your left arm and equip different type of arms like sekiro, the Fable meter system which can use to do special attacks, and don’t even get me started on weapons customization(basically you can have a heavy damage slow moving hammer head attach to fast moving handle from another weapon and get a fast moving high damaging hammer), the depth to this combat system is mind boggling, this gameplay style kinda ruin FS games for me, I can’t go back to rolling again lol.

• The 2nd best thing this game does is it’s bosses and enemies variety, there is so many cool enemy types and mini bosses and main bosses, not only test you to your limits but also amazing fun to go against.

• Visuals: visually this game had to be one of the best looking game so far in souls genre, the attention to detail is next level, the lighting the reflections during rain, the atmosphere it builds it’s just a treat to play and watch this game, it had me stop and look at environment for 15 minutes most of the time.

• Ost is banging what more can I say.

• Level Design is also another thing I think this games nails down, the intrecat shortcuts and passage ways are just so Brilliantly design.

• Issues: game certainly have some technical issues it would’ve been polished more constantly was stuck between environments and enemies, some difficulty spikes are weird especially the last 2-3 bosses and a hard on for delayed attacks is just funny lol.
8/10 forsure it was 9 at points but at the end I think it is an 8
