The thing I'm loving most about Lies of P: Overture is the distinct lack of puppets – so far, anyway. I've traveled back in time to the moment the Krat disaster began, before corrupted puppets roamed the streets and this gorgeous Belle Epoque world was thrown into chaos. That means most foes I've come up against are either humans, aggressive and homicidal as Resident Evil 4's ganados, or a variety of mutated beasts.
With the help of a special new weapon type added in the DLC, slicing and shooting my way through Krat City Zoo has been a cathartic blast. Sure, there's the threat of a certain "Puppeteer of Death" looming overhead, but it seems I have some time (and plenty of mutant elephants) to kill before I jump that hurdle. Overture presents an opportunity to take a break from the puppet plague, and it comes at precisely the right time.
