What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

The Red Lantern is praised by most players as a wholesome, calming experience with charming dog personalities, relaxing atmosphere, and engaging story interactions that encourage multiple playthroughs. However, some players encounter frustrating bugs including progression stops and loading screen issues, and the main character's dialogue can be divisive. Players suggest trying it on sale rather than at full price, though those seeking relaxation and completionist content may find it worthwhile.

I love this game. I played it only for 3h 37min. Finish my first run trough. Unlock 2 accesory. I love the interaction and the little stories. For the original price, I wouldn't buy the game, but for the current price of 2,09€ a good purchase. If you go fo unlock, this game definitly will keep you up for 2 days or 4. depending how you play.

Honestly, I'm not gonna lie, it was completely a wholesome game. I usually start a game, go for the achievements and just try to full it and finish the game, but I genuinely enjoyed my time on it. the music and the atmosphere is calming and very positive and for the first time in some while I got to relax and just enjoy a game. I would hope that the developers fix the journal achievement bug since it's literally breathtaking to complete.

I got stuck near the end of the game due to a bug. I didn't progress, my hunger bars didn't lower, nothing happened. Just haw and gee until the end of time. Sometimes I even let Chomper choose the way to go. There's a discussion post about this issue: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1053710/discussions/0/4626980055457794538/ I did try the recommended fix (reboot the game), but it didn't work for me. It took about two hours to get to my first "win", so don't expect the game to last very long. I did not enjoy the player character. She talked too much and detracted from my experience. Check a gameplay video for yourself, and know that she talks like that throughout the whole game. You might be fine with this, but I didn't enjoy it. The artists did a very good job on the game. The animations can be a bit janky sometimes, and the speed of the sun makes the trees' shadows whip around sometimes, but otherwise it's very pretty.

Stuck in loading screen. I tried so much ways to fix it but none of them worked. I dont recommend, probably your game will not load either.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
