Lies of P: Overture – A Soulslike Game Challenging Players with Its New Game Plus Mode
Renowned as a game that embodies the soulslike style, Lies of P: Overture expands its horizons and takes the challenge level to new heights. The developer, Neowiz, has acknowledged player feedback regarding the game’s difficulty and is currently considering adjustments, particularly for the New Game Plus mode.
Overture Quickly Becomes a Highly Praised Expansion Among Fans of Lies of P
From its initial release, Overture has rapidly garnered widespread acclaim from dedicated fans of Lies of P. However, many players returning to the New Game Plus mode after completing the main storyline have found this DLC to be a stark contrast. Continuous feedback has emerged on various forums and gaming communities, with many players expressing frustration over certain bosses and enemies potentially being overwhelmingly difficult, especially after just two cycles through the game—a challenge that feels insurmountable, even for the most seasoned players.
In light of the current situation, the development team has also officially reached out to players, admitting that they are considering all feedback seriously and are initiating plans for various adjustments. They have particularly noted the need to enhance the combat experience, as this is a core aspect of what Lies of P is all about. Some key mechanics in combat have not unfolded as anticipated, prompting the developers to evaluate multiple adjustment strategies, including potential difficulty reductions. However, changing the overall combat system requires careful consideration and thorough testing, meaning this process will take some time.
Alongside the rollout of Overture, Neowiz has also introduced three new difficulty options in Lies of P, allowing players to customize their experience according to their preferences. This has been viewed as a temporary solution to alleviate pressure while the development team continues to work on the upcoming updates.
