ENG:

Artistically, in terms of landscapes, world creation, characters, visual identity... I think it's a magnificent game, BUT, in terms of mechanics and video game design, I find it very questionable, even quite mediocre at times:

  • The movement is chunky.
  • There are many purely narrative sequences that don't really fit with the type of game it is

ENG:

Artistically, in terms of landscapes, world creation, characters, visual identity... I think it's a magnificent game, BUT, in terms of mechanics and video game design, I find it very questionable, even quite mediocre at times:

  • The movement is chunky.
  • There are many purely narrative sequences that don't really fit with the type of game it is
  • Main combat mechanics end up being very tedious (not a bad idea per se, but it feels unfinished, or like they didn't quite figure it out).

In summary: Good idea, poor execution.

ESP:

Artísticamente, tanto a nivel de paisajes, creación de mundo, personajes, identidad visual... me parece un juego magnifico, PERO, a nivel mecánico y diseño de videojuego me parece muy cuestionable, incluso en momentos bastante mediocre:

  • Movimiento esta acartonado
  • Mucha secuencia puramente narrativa que no acompaña.
  • La mecánica principal de combate acaba haciendo muy pesada (sin ser una mala idea persé, pero da la sensación de estar inacabada, o que no llegaron a acabar de plantearla del todo bien).

En resumen: Buena idea, mal desempeño

This game is extremely cheap on all platforms right now and you should get it because it is really good.

This game's world and vibe is SERIOUSLY good! I'm feeling seriously creeped out from a boss fight (and subsequent scene) straight out of a horror game. Only to burst out laughing with surprise with what happened next. (Trying to avoid spoilers here). Still shook though - haven't felt like this from a game in a while.

This game's world and vibe is SERIOUSLY good! I'm feeling seriously creeped out from a boss fight (and subsequent scene) straight out of a horror game. Only to burst out laughing with surprise with what happened next. (Trying to avoid spoilers here). Still shook though - haven't felt like this from a game in a while.

The game is really creepy and quirky - it gets dark, but it also knows when to get light-hearted and there's even some wholesomeness buried when you least expect it. Which is the point - there are some good people here just trying to get by in a f*cked up world.

Loving this. Gameplay is good, but can get repetitive - though switching my deck around from time to time helps with this. A "safe" deck can get boring real quick. But the world and story absolutely hooked me in, and only gets better with each level. Almost to the end now

For anyone curious, Lost in Random is on sale for 5 bucks for the next two weeks on the Xbox store. Buy it if you're on the fence, cause especially for this price you can't go wrong.

I finally beat this tonight (only took me so long because, well, the game is long as hell and I wanted to 100% it), and I gotta say...despite Psychonauts 2 definitely taking the GOTY for me this year, this is a hard second.

I finally beat this tonight (only took me so long because, well, the game is long as hell and I wanted to 100% it), and I gotta say...despite Psychonauts 2 definitely taking the GOTY for me this year, this is a hard second. Original songs, a really unique and wholly defined world, an excellent and emotional story, really original gameplay, an excellent visual aesthetic and even great voice acting. This was such a wonderful experience.

Lost in Random, which I am playing through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, really brings feelings of both Psychonauts and Fable. However, I can already feel myself losing interest in it.

SO happy to see the return of games that aren't hell bent on realism. This & "Pumpkin Jack" are an absolute blessing after all the years of 'gritty, hardcore, serious' games.

Just finished this and is an absolute hidden gem. I honestly don't know why so few people are talking about this game, because the way it mixes card battles and hack and slash action is very fun.

Review tomorrow.

I didn't expected such a cool battle system. Is like they adapted something like Slay the Spire to a 'hack 'n slash'
