    Lies of P is the full title, but the P does stand for Pinocchio, who you play as. It’s set in a city with lots of puppets, basically robots, that do the labor. I believe Pinocchio is a special puppet because he can lie and disobey humans. He/you use that to go on a Bloodbornesque tour of the city, fighting everything along the way. Haven’t played it myself, just heard good things and saw part of it mentioned in a video essay.

            It’s a linear game, but I enjoyed it a lot. Not sure if the parrying is more forgiving or if the timing for parrying is just more direct, but I found it a lot easier to get into the rythmn compared to sekiro.
