Alright, gamers, gather ’round and let’s talk about the dumpster fire 🔥 that is Lies of P: Overture. Neowiz, bless their cotton socks, thought they could pull a fast one on us with a surprise DLC drop at SGF 2025. Surprise! It’s harder than finding a genuinely good opinion on Reddit. 🤣
Neowiz and the development team, fresh off their victory lap for tricking us into thinking Pinocchio could be a Souls-like protagonist, decided to grace us with Lies of P: Overture. Just like when FromSoftware dropped Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree and everyone suddenly became experts on game balance, the internet exploded with complaints. Because, you know, gamers never complain, right? 🤔
Ah, Reddit. The digital home for gamers who love to complain more than they love to play. The Lies of P subreddit, now conveniently condensed into a “megathread” because apparently, everyone and their grandma has an opinion on the difficulty. It all started with whispers of a difficulty option – because nothing says “Souls-like” like catering to casuals, am I right? 🙄 Then, BOOM! The DLC dropped, and suddenly everyone’s controller was broken. Elden Ring fans had the same trajectory, complaining about ways to make the game easier, only to realize that the DLC requires you to git gud, or get rekt.
The core issue? According to one sage Redditor, MagicThiccWaku (yes, that’s a real name), the DLC is hard “in all the wrong places.” No reactionary attacks, punishing mistakes, and fights that drag on longer than your average political debate. And apparently, NG+ is a one-way ticket to rage-quit city, with enemies one-shotting you faster than you can say “parry.” 💀
In response to this tidal wave of gamer tears, director Jiwon Choi emerged from the depths with a video titled “Lies of P: Director’s Letter.” Oh, the drama! Cue the heartfelt apologies and promises of “reviewing adjustments.” Because nothing says “we planned this poorly” like admitting you need to fix your game after release. 🤦♂️
Choi, in his infinite wisdom, thanked the passionate fans (aka the complainers) and assured them that their voices are being heard. “We’re reviewing all of it carefully and are already looking into when to implement some of your suggestions,” he said, probably while rolling his eyes.
