But that all changed with Lies of P — especially now that I have now played the recently-released Overture DLC. I’d even go as far to say that Lies of P is the most important Soulslike we’ve seen since the original Bloodborne. Lies of P initially drew a lot of attention as the Pinocchio game, and that’s genuinely a large part of the game’s mystique. Lies of P: Overture improves on nearly everything from the base game, heightening the story, emotion, and tense gameplay. Any one element of the game can stand on its own, but the interweaving of every facet propels the game to jaw-dropping heights.
