Critic Reviews for Lies of P: Overture
Even if it’s clearly dancing on the same old strings, Lies of P: Overture is an excellent expansion that adds a whole lot more to a game that was already great.
Lies of P: Overture is a fantastic, lore-packed DLC that pays off the rich storytelling foundations of the base game. Though somewhat short, the core mechanics remain as satisfying as ever, and the fresh content, OST, and voice acting make it a joy to explore. If you're a Lies of P fan, this DLC is one you absolutely should not miss out on.
Lies of P: Overture is just an extension of an already terrific game, and that’s great. It’s almost nostalgic, reminding me of a decade ago when DLC was the norm, and not every game was bombarded with monthly updates or roadmaps. It’s a great expansion that attempts to give Lies of P its own identity, and while it doesn’t really improve or build upon the features that you’ve grown used to over the course of dozens of hours trawling the streets of Krat, it didn’t need to. I’m more than happy with a second helping of Lies of P.
With a finale that wraps up Lies of P neatly in a box, like the one Gepetto lugs around Krat, I’m left fulfilled and grateful for this strange and unique Pinocchio-inspired package. Overture, like its base game counterpart, is an excellent Soulslike journey that oozes confidence, fun, and a deep appreciation for the genre.
Lies of P: Overture heads back to the past to build on its twisted rendition of Pinocchio, telling a compelling story that throws you into combat with creative enemies in varied environments
Lies of P: Overture is a valid addition to the base game, in particular because it doesn't just add new gameplay (enemies, bosses, weapons, Legion arms) but also some very powerful story moments. Wholeheartedly recommended.

Overture might not be a proper sequel, but it is a great reminder about what makes Lies of P such a fantastic Soulslike.
Ultimately, Lies of P: Overture is configured as a further testimony to the crystalline talent of the Korean developers of Neowiz and Round 8 who, after having hit like a hurricane in a seemingly saturated market such as that of soulslike action/RPGs, replicate the winning scheme by declining it in an adventure with even darker tones, supported by a powerful imagery and an exciting story. Net of some qualitative contraction in some moments and a not exactly stellar duration, the expansion of Lies of P will certainly delight those who loved the epic of Geppetto's favorite son. Are you ready to return to tread the streets of Krat?
