🇬🇧 The theme of death and rebirth is certainly something that's very prominent in #LiesOfP, and right from the start, #LiesOfPOverture builds onto it even more.
So, let's take a look at how Overture does this - from flowers reeking of decay to the use of #Mozart pieces in the #soundtrack to a very distinctive color symbolism.

🇩🇪 Tod und Wiedergeburt sind definitiv sehr zentrale Themen in Lies of P, und schon von Beginn an baut Lies of P: Overture diese noch weiter aus.
Nehmen wir uns also einen Moment Zeit, uns anzuschauen, wie Overture das macht - von nach Verwesung stinkenden Blumen über die Verwendung von Mozart-Stücken im Soundtrack bis hin zu einer sehr markanten Farbsymbolik.

Themes of death and rebirth in Lies of P: Overture

I'd like to take a minute to appreciate how Lies of P: Overture sets up the theme of death (and rebirth) from the get-go. [Spoilers for Lies of P: Overture] For example, the description of the Play...

🇬🇧 Two #Tumblr pieces I recently wrote on #LiesOfP's #queer subtext:

1. On Carlo being Romeo's "best friend" (and male "best friends" of gay men often being their lovers in the #VictorianEra)
2. What Carlo being Rosaura’s friend REALLY means + some predictions about the #LiesOfPSequel

🇩🇪 Zwei (englische) Tumblr-Beiträge über den queeren Subtext von Lies of P, die ich vor Kurzem geschrieben habe:

1. Über Carlo und Romeo, "beste Freunde" (und darüber, dass die männlichen "besten Freunde" von schwulen Männern im viktorianischen Zeitalter oftmals ihre Liebhaber waren)
2. Was es eigentlich bedeutet, dass Carlo Rosauras Freund ist + ein paar Prognosen zum Lies of P-Sequel

Reading about how, in the 19th century/Victorian era, the male lover of a gay man was often said to be a "dear friend" or "like a brother" to him to cover up the nature of their...

🇬🇧 As you may know, I did my Live Let's Play of #LiesOfPOverture in a No Specter Challenge - and finally, here are the results of it!
Well... Perhaps more like "half-No Specter Challenge", since half of the DLC is a No Specter Challenge by default.
You know what? Let's just call it "boss statistics". Here are my Overture boss statistics, plus my opinion on the DLC bosses at the end. 😉

🇩🇪 Wie ihr vielleicht wisst, hab ich mein Live-Let's Play von #LiesOfP: Overture in der No Specter Challenge gemacht - und hier sind nun endlich die Ergebnisse in Tabellenform!
Na ja… Vielleicht könnte man eher sagen, es war eine "halbe No Specter Challenge", da die Hälfte des DLCs standardmäßig eine No Specter Challenge ist.
Wisst ihr was? Nennen wir's einfach "Boss-Statistiken". Hier sind meine Overture Boss-Statistiken, plus meine Meinung zu den DLC-Bossen als Bonus zum Schluss. 😉

Lies of P: Overture – Boss Statistics (+ my personal thoughts on the DLC bosses)

Remember how prior to playing Lies of P: Overture, I said that I would do the DLC in a No Specter Challenge just like the main game? Well... As it turns out, half of the DLC is a No Specter Challenge...

I got past the second major boss in #LiesOfPOverture just now. Unfortunately I had to summon; something I usually go out of my way not to do.

Ultimately, the boss was too much for me and I beat it on my second attempt with a little help from my friend.

I'm two bosses through this game and honestly? I'm a little underwhelmed. I'm not sure if its playing on the smaller screen, or if its because I'm coming in cold having not played it for two years...but something isn't clicking.

I hear it's short, and I loved the base game so there's a chance my opinion of it will improve as I progress, but right now....yeah.

To be fair to the game, I'm kind of not feeling videogames right now. Aside from Clone Hero and Rocket League there's no much that's grabbing my attention. Fallout from last year being so chock-full of absolute bangers? Maybe.

🇬🇧 After a long time of checking, editing, and revising, I've finally been able to put my thoughts on #LiesOfPOverture into a coherent form. You could say this is part #review, part story analysis, but either way, it's a pretty wild ride - just like that DLC itself. 😂😉

🇩🇪 Nach langem Überprüfen, Editing und Überarbeiten habe ich es endlich geschafft, meine Gedanken zu #LiesOfP: Overture in zusammenhängende Form zu bringen. Man könnte sagen, das Ganze ist eine Mischung aus Review und Story-Analyse, aber in jedem Falle ist es eine ziemlich wilde Achterbahnfahrt - genau wie der DLC selbst. 😂😉

👉🏻 Lies of P: Overture promete, pero no convence. Un DLC correcto que suma sin multiplicar y se queda en tierra de nadie. ¿Merece la pena?
