I'm surprised, happy, and also kinda annoyed that one of my favourite games this year was the pinocchio soulslike ( https://www.liesofp.com/ ) that I nearly skipped because of the name alone.
I'm closing in on starting NG+3 and there's so many different weapons/builds I still want to try.
It meaningfully advances the genre, and it was definitely a better game than Elden Ring.
But calling your upgrades P-Organs will never not be ridiculous.
(Also, the music is surprisingly good, even more so once you find out where a bunch of it is from)
