The Good
- Interesting premise
- huge cast of (mostly) believable characters
- dry sense of humor plays well with the game’s horror elements
- many puzzles are a (sick) joy to solve
- kid is incredibly creepy.
The Bad
- Puzzle clues are often vague or non-existent
- much of the writing and voice acting is mediocre at best
- doing chores is mind-numbingly un-fun
- shoe-horned action sequences are unpolished and the save system unforgiving
- small but pervasive bugs.
Our Verdict
Uneven
A near-equal balance of good and bad that can make a game either fall disappointingly short of its evident potential or be mildly entertaining despite its many failings.
Sometimes infernally frustrating and plagued with inconsistent design, the deeply morbid Lucius nevertheless contains some diabolical fun for those with loads of patience and a strong stomach.
