Platinum 02 May 2025

This may not be a game made by FromSoftware, but the game developers clearly understands the Soulsborne formula.

It’s buttery-smooth graphics, dark storytelling, and easy-to-learn but challenging-to-master combat combine to make a brilliant romp through a steampunk retelling of Carlo Collodi’s Pinocchio. It rips.

More than one playthrough is obligatory to see the full story, which gets deeper, darker and more sad on the second run. At least three end-to-end runs are required for this Platinum trophy but with the incremental unveiling of the story and with the satisfying gameplay loop, it never feels like a chore.
