DLC rarely take hooks in me. Although I like the additions I play, few are drawn out of reminding that the basic game is good and it is more-what I am looking for, usually lies in hope. The lies of the modern DLC Uurture P, with the price of USD 29.99 and over a 20 -hour executive environment, which can be conveniently called the extension, withdraws from the basic game strings to surprise and delight. It contains dozens of modern enemies, some with really wild modern patterns of the attack to master, many modern places in bars to visit and a story that legally brought me tears. I am not surprised that the overture is great; Lies of P is a fantastic game, as I said about it in 2023. However, I am surprised how powerful it is. This is a circle of victory, a valuable time investment for anyone who liked the first crack neoviz in this adventure inspired by the fairy tale.
The overture removes players from the current axis of lies P and moves them to the past of bars, a few days before the puppet madness, with all your knowledge, progress, weapons and objects from the basic game. Pinocchio follows in the footsteps of the “legendary persecutor”, looking for answers to why he was mysteriously brought to the past. This takes him to previously hidden areas of the bars, such as the abandoned zoo and carnival, frozen shipyard and property, which lies in the heart of this whole story.
These locations bring a few welcome additions to the game formula, including two modern legion shoulders: one that fires rotating saws, and the other, which shoots a shotgun with a crust (resembling a bloodborne pistol). Although no dramatically changed the way I approached the fight in the way they do this base game Legion, the spinning arm was a good way to maintain the number of injuries when I could not get an attack. The second gigantic addition is a huge swath of modern enemies to fight.
Each location contains modern enemies, from infected monkeys to damaged monstrosa-koni-koni monstrosities to hungry sharks, crazy sailors, zombies and many more. These are not just cosmetically different enemies; They have completely modern attack patterns, providing a fresh layer of challenge to P. as a loser for the subject, I appreciated how many creators, Neowiz and round 8 Studio in round 8 put modern Overture enemies. Discovering modern enemies to overcome, next to several modern weapons, objects and amulets, remained a feast all the time.
It goes double for a handful of modern bosses in an overture. Neowiz and Round8 Studio clearly experiment in this extension, because some look and fight like nothing in the basic game. In particular, two bosses delighted me with the scale and arena on which we fought.
I also took the opportunity to test two modern difficulties added to lies P with an overture in these boss fights. The most hard difficulty is the default and it was the lies and overtures. But before defeating the bosses I gave every attempt on two easier difficulties. I am pleasantly surprised by the team’s work to create an easier experience while maintaining playing with P. lies, it’s nice that both modern difficulties were used with retrograde power for free game for free with the update, which includes Rush Boss mode and the ability to repeat previously beaten bosses.
On easier difficulties, enemies and bosses do not fall – you still have to evaporate, avoid and attack the way to victory. It’s a bit more forgiving, which gives less experienced Soulslike players the perfect playground to understand how these games work. It is a praise -worthy supplement and something that others from this genre should continue to support their games reach modern recipients.
As in lies P, the overture elegantly leads with a story that is simple to analyze, but still mysterious and mysterious enough to justify further exploration. I loved to discover modern notes and audio diaries that provided context to events appearing somewhere else in the narrative. By the way, this narrative is fantastic. Admittedly, it begins with no deprivation of liberty – follow the tips to find the legendary persecutor – but where it ends, it reminded me how much I appreciate the approach of Neowiz and Round8 Studio to the narrative in the narrative species inaccessible (and often unnecessary blunt) telling stories. All this ends with the last hour, which gave me chills, doing something with enemies that shook me and forced me to reflect on the goal of opponents in such action game.
The last fight with the boss is one of the lies of the most hard challenges P, with relentless, powerful attacks that kept me on my fingers until the last second of the fight. I will not spoil him here, but the whole last hour has a diminutive but welcome mechanical return, which rewards the hours of experience.
With the final, which ends lies carefully in a box, like one cheetah around bars, I am fulfilled and grateful for this strange and unique package inspired by Pinocchio. The overture, like its basic counterpart, is a great journey of the soul, which emanates self -confidence, fun and deep recognition for this genre.
