Aug 15, 2025Close to its 2-year anniversary, the murderous puppet returns with an ever-so-brilliant DLC that not only rivals the design of the original game, but in many aspects surpasses what was puppeteered before. This expansion shines with mechanical brilliance, is drenched in even more oil and blood, and most important of all, shows the amazing snow tech that was developed! Apart from many new bosses, great level design, memorable locations, curious storylines, and a ton of quality-of-life improvements, we are simply getting more of what made Lies of P amazing.

Jun 17, 2025I'm of the opinion that the best expansions are ones that don't just offer a new slice of a game you already love to play, but enhance what was already there. Lies of P: Overture isn't just great in its own right, but it showcases the growth that Round8 has seen over the course of developing the game. Lies of P was already great, and well worth your attention. What Overture succeeds most at isn't just offering more of what players already loved, but perhaps giving us a sneak peek at what players can expect from the studio in the future. Lies of P: Overture feels like a bold, yet simple, statement; we're only just getting started with Lies of P. I can't wait to see what the team has in store for us next.

Jul 14, 2025Lies of P: Overture is a dark, challenging prequel DLC that dives deeper into the twisted world of Krat. With 6–8 hours of new content, it offers fresh environments, inventive boss fights, and meaningful lore expansion without radically changing the gameplay. While it doesn’t reinvent the base game, it delivers a focused, atmospheric experience that fans will appreciate. It's a must-play for returning players who want more from the Lies of P universe, though newcomers may find it dense and unforgiving.

Jun 6, 2025Lies of P: Overture is a most welcome expansion for fans. From the story and boss battles to new weapons, it adds meaningful depth across the board. While it does have the inherent limitations of an expansion, it’s a must-play for fans, as it completes Lies of P’s narrative as a prequel.

Jun 8, 2025If you enjoyed Lies of P, then you'll likely be glad to return to Krat in Overture —to wield new weapons, and face tougher enemies and bosses. The many refinements to the game's details also help make this return journey a much smoother ride.

Jun 6, 2025Overture is a prequel DLC that simply provides more Lies of P, and that’s an extremely good thing. The new areas are largely a breath of fresh air, and the added enemy types inject even more variety into a world that was already pretty well-stocked with things trying their absolute best to murder your puppet face. There isn’t much in the way of surprising ideas or interesting new mechanics, but having a fresh set of formidable bosses to take down is compelling enough in its own right, with some of them standing amongst the most exciting encounters that can be found in Lies of P. Couple those with a fully-featured story that’s every bit as satisfying as the original, and this is one creepy puppet show I’m glad to revisit.

Jul 28, 2025Lies of P: Overture largely retains the quality of the base game, if not improving upon it in some aspects. While it isn't particularly experimental, it is more Lies of P, and it proves why that isn't a bad thing in the slightest.
