Developer Round8 Studio has confirmed that Lies of P: Overture will receive 
additional difficulty changes based on player feedback. 

In a new Director's Letter video following the shadow-drop release of the 
Overture downloadable content (DLC) at Summer Game Fest , director Jiwon Choi 
thanked players for their feedback and confirmed that the studio is looking 
to implement some changes that will mainly target combat and difficulty. 

"We're reviewing all of it carefully and are already looking into when to 
implement some of your suggestions," Choi said. "Among all the feedback, we 
are paying the closest attention to the combat experience." 

Players online have shared their thoughts on Overture, with some stating that 
the DLC feels more difficult than the base game, even when playing on the 
game's standard difficulty, Legendary Stalker. 

"Im at level 300 and should not be getting two-shot from basic enemies," one 
player wrote on Steam (via IGN ). "It doesnt help that the enemy grouping is 
designed for you to have to deal with multiple at once. This wouldnt be a 
problem if even one of those enemies doesnt take out half your health with 
one hit." 

Choi continued, saying that the game will receive adjustments that will 
essentially nerf the difficulty. 

"We identified areas that did not turn out quite as we intended. Therefore, 
we are reviewing various adjustments, including difficulty reduction. 

"However, combat is one of the most fundamental experiences in Lies of P , so 
any modifications or changes require meticulous work and thorough testing." 

We don't know when the patch will arrive, but we'll keep you updated. 

In TechRadar Gaming's Lies of P: Overture review , Hardware Editor Rhys Wood 
said that DLC is an "expansion that exudes confidence on the part of 
developer Round8 Studio" and "successfully enriches the entire Lies of P 
package, with stunning and creative level design and some of the best boss 
fights in the subgenre as a whole". You might also like... IO Interactive
