Lost but Lucid

tldr: just want a gameplay video? its below the review Its a platformer about helping yourself through dream therapy. I'll start off with what I enjoyed about my small playtime in the game and then move on to what I did not enjoy. [u]What I enjoyed[/u] [list] [*]Most of the jumps do seem to give you a fair bit of leeway as long as 'learning is acquired' from missing jumps previously, or if you just get the hang of its feel right away. Most of the time I fell off I was trying to go full-benny too often instead of taking a more controlled approach. [*]The game has a nice relaxing feel to it in the sections I played. Nice ambiance in the forest levels. I really do love rain and bird call sounds in a non-hectic environment. Perhaps it gets hectic later on, but for what I experienced it was super relaxing. [*]There are collectibles to give you something to do other than just jump which even unlock bonus levels. Rewarded for exploring and collecting that you otherwise don't need to do. [*] It contains a time trial mode if you like speed running stuff. [/list] [u]What I did not like[/u] [list] [*]The game is momentum driven. Which inherently is not bad, except your character feels 'f…

I'm new to the gaming world and super happy Lost but Lucid was one of my first purchases. Although I found it quite challenging for a new gamer like myself, the storyline hooked me in and kept me going as I played. Love the variety of levels and looking forward to exploring more of the game!

Fun platformer game! 1st world is pretty trippy but the 2nd and 3rd world's are closer to a classic forest/desert canyon style. Found it a lot of fun using a controller (menus still need controller support, but it's only needed to continue to next levels) and the game gives you just enough speed and jump control to try and hit tougher but faster paths. Difficulty is solid and not too hard so far (maybe that changes post 3rd world) but also excited to see the time trials feature added to give some more incentive to try some tricky shortcuts.

I came to get down, I came to get down So get out your seat and jump around! Jump around! Jump around! Jump around! Jump up, jump up and get down! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump) Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump) Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!

It's not terrible, but the game - or at least the first world - is rooted in a sort of Only Up approach to visual and level design that I really don't like. Obstacle courses made up of random objects floating in the air, visually evocative of the asset flippier side of low budget indie aesthetics, arranged to provide a serviceable but not particularly engaging or satisfying platforming challenge. Not for me.

If you're into platforming games this may be worth looking into. The price isn't too shabby, it's cheaper than a burger at most fast food joints, so that's nice. If platforming games aren't your style, but you're still curious, I'd wait for a sale for sure. As of now it has a tiny bit of replay value with the story and collectables. However once they add the Time Trial mode with Steam leader boards, that they announced recently it should kick things up a notch! Looking forward to that.
