Oh boy, waiting for a game release… it’s like waiting for water to boil, but without the satisfaction of pasta at the end. I mean, seriously, release dates are elusive. Anyway — Lies of P Overture just decided to drop out of nowhere during Summer Game Fest. A stealthy surprise! And hey, boom, it’s playable right now! Back to Pinocchio’s world! There are new bosses, new lands, and, well, a bunch of stuff to uncover.

So, if you’ve been living under a rock, Lies of P is a, uh, soulslike RPG that got cozy in our hearts via Xbox Game Pass last year. Everyone loved it. It’s probably one of the best love notes to soulsborne games if you ask me (though nobody did).

What’s up with Overture then? It’s like pressing rewind on your VCR — yep, remember those? Also, spoilers: It’s a prequel, so get ready to nibble on more bits of story lore. More bosses too. They’re like… beautifully chaotic, it’s nuts. Like, they sort of grab you by your digital lapels and shake your emotions around.

Confused about how to dive into this DLC? Start at the end of the main game—chapter 9, fought the Corrupted Parade Master? Yup, from there (or any Stargazer), hop over to Path of the Pilgrim. Cue cut scene! It’s your magic carpet ride into the DLC realm. Jump between past and present as often as you fancy — Hotel Krat’s waiting, if you need a pit stop.

New levels? Check. Battle Memories? Yep. Deathmatch? Oh yeah. Seriously, Overture’s stuffed with goodies. Whether you just want the story or you’re into the whole challenge thing, it’s, well, not disappointing.

And gosh, I keep saying this, but Lies of P? It’s a real soul-like gem. They’re chucking in new difficulty levels to make it friendly for everyone, but honestly, the OG difficulty is the real deal — tough, but that’s life, right? Play your way, let others do their thing. Games are personal, you know?

Krat Zoo and new spaces were this insane mix of fun and “please don’t die now”. No spoilers — but the storyline? Lore nerds, come feast. Really explore, there are secrets hiding like Easter eggs. Some enemies might make you want to scream, but in a good way, if that makes sense.

Oh, and grab Lies of P on Xbox or PC for half the price now, $24.99. Overture’s at $29.99 on Xbox and Steam. It’s like getting a two-for-one without the coupon. Magic, I tell you.
