Now you nose
It’s perhaps not a headline anymore to declare a game updated for the $700 PS5 Pro will look and run better, but Lies of P director Jiwon Choi has shared a nugget of new information after it was announced the title would be taking advantage of Sony’s new hardware. “At Round8, we always strive to deliver a polished and engaging...

Review Lies of P (PS5) - No Fibs Found in This Souls-Like Great
Woodborne
Lies of P is a game that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Made by South Korean team Round8 Studio, it feels like the product of a developer taking its second or even third swing at the Souls-like formula. It puts the majority of other titles inspired by Dark Souls to shame, yet the only other game to the name of Round8 Studio is an...

Purge Puppets
In place of a Bloodborne remake or sequel, the next best thing is likely going to be Lies of P, that stylish and somewhat sultry action RPG that can't help but remind us of the mean streets of Yharnam... albeit one populated by clockwork automatons in place of blood-addled werewolves. We got a few minutes of new gameplay courtesy of...

The new blood
Lies of P is shaping up to be a very intriguing Soulslike title, but there's simply no getting away from the fact that it looks a hell of a lot like Bloodborne.
