Lies of P: Overture is an expansion that exudes confidence on the part of developer Round8 Studio, which looks to have already mastered its particular brand of the soulslike format. Overture successfully enriches the entire Lies of P package, with stunning and creative level design and some of the best boss fights in the subgenre as a whole. It’s simply an unmissable experience for fans of the base game. Pros - + Gorgeous, creative environments - + Awesome new weapons and Legion Arms - + Terrifyingly hard, masterful boss fights - + Enriches the lore of the base game - + Near-perfectly paced 20-hour length Cons - - A few instances of questionable enemy placement - - A couple of locations drag on a bit Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best.

Lies of P Overture is an excellent DLC that adds more brevity and complexity to an already great game. With its new environments, Arms, and weapon changes, once beloved builds will be put to the test. Tested against some great new bosses whose difficulty varies wildly from fight to fight.

It's also not a bad thing that Lies of P: Overture is essentially more of the same. The base game is arguably the best souls-like to come out of a studio not named From Software since the genre took off. However, I would imagine it's less than ideal for anyone who's recently finished Lies of P for the first time. For people like me, who haven't touched it since it launched in September 2023, I was more than happy to dedicate another 15 hours to more of the same. Overture is a beginning that caps off a fantastic game.
