As relayed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2026\/07\/round-up-the-previews-are-in-for-lies-of-p-on-switch-2\">Nintendo Life&#8217;s preview roundup<\/a>, Gaming Trend described it as <em>&#8220;a very well thought out port, and just excellent all around.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Outerhaven called it <em>&#8220;a surprisingly strong port&#8221;<\/em> in their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theouterhaven.net\/lies-of-p-complete-edition-switch-2-impressions\/\">hands-on impressions<\/a>, and COG Connected concluded in their <a href=\"https:\/\/cogconnected.com\/preview\/lies-of-p-complete-edition-on-nintendo-switch-2-preview\">Switch 2 preview<\/a> that <em>&#8220;while the Switch 2 version might lag behind the PC and PS5 versions in visual quality, the game remains incredibly fun and addictive \u2014 Lies of P is a must-play.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The sole point of friction noted across multiple outlets is Quality Mode in handheld \u2014 it can dip below a locked framerate in more complex areas. The recommendation from most reviewers: stick to Performance mode for the smoothest experience while handheld.<\/p>\n<h2>Performance Modes and the Day-One Patch<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lies-of-p-complete-edition-switch2-world.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Lies of P world and environments on Switch 2\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of NEOWIZ<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Switch 2 version ships with multiple graphical presets. In <strong>handheld mode<\/strong> you choose between Performance and Quality; in <strong>TV (docked) mode<\/strong>, there are three options including a balanced middle ground. A <strong>day-one patch will add a dedicated 60fps Performance mode for handheld<\/strong> \u2014 so download that update before you start your first run.<\/p>\n<p>For Singapore Switch 2 owners who use their console primarily in handheld on the MRT or during lunch breaks, this is reassuring news. The port has been built with Switch 2-specific features in mind, including GameChat support and optimised controls for the console&#8217;s Joy-Con.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s in the Complete Edition<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lies-of-p-complete-edition-switch2-boss.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Lies of P boss fight on Nintendo Switch 2\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of NEOWIZ<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Complete Edition bundles the full base game with the <strong>Overture<\/strong> DLC expansion, which was previously sold separately on PC and other consoles. Overture adds a prequel chapter exploring Krat&#8217;s world before the main story begins, giving series fans additional lore and fresh challenges.<\/p>\n<p>If you missed Lies of P when it first launched in 2023, this is the definitive way to experience the game: Pinocchio&#8217;s mechanical Krat, its stunning Belle \u00c9poque aesthetic, and the Issen counter-attack combat system \u2014 all on a screen you can take anywhere.
