- It's a shame, but we're confident an audience will be found of people such as us who will love and embrace this game - warts and all. Lost in Random may not strike a chord with everyone, but for those it does, they will absolutely love it.
Daniel Hollis · Apr 15, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|S, XB1Read full review - Lost in Random is a magical experience in several areas. The story, presentation, and world are a joy to experience from start to finish, with a few minor exceptions. On the other hand, the combat is initially refreshing but is hindered by the length of encounters and a lack of depth in its mechanics, so later encounters feel like a frustrating chore. It's a fun action-adventure in short bursts, and Lost in Random deserves much more attention than it has received.
Andreas Salmen · Oct 14, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Its audiovisual world-building is tremendous, ably lifting a servicable quest structure and story, and inventive combat plays to its strengths and is taken carefully up to the limits of its potential. However, the layers of interaction during battles make a promise of strategic complexity that isn’t kept, and encounters last too long without the depth to sustain interest. Nevertheless, everything is packaged beautifully and Lost in Random doesn’t outstay its welcome, either, leaving you craving one last roll of the dice.
Roland Ingram · Oct 01, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Lost in Random definitely can hold its own against other titles and feels like a premium experience, but on it’s way there the balance between randomness and thought out design may have gotten a bit lost.
Willem Hilhorst · Sep 25, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - This is a game that came close to greatness for me, but in the end the combat held it back. I still quite enjoyed my time with it thanks to the story, and I am very interested to see what developer Zoink is working on next.
Jesse Norris · Sep 21, 2021 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Lost in Random is a great Tim Burton-esque experience with a very interesting story and an absolutely perfect atmosphere for those in the mood for a proper adventure story. The game has a lot of fun mechanics on display, even though it does struggle with the pacing of a few of them. While linear in nature, you’ll have enough content to plow through. As a whole, we loved the experience and hope to see other games that play out in the same universe as this one.
Ibuki · Sep 21, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - It doesn’t seem random that Lost in Random is a great game. The developers put a lot of thought into crafting a fantastic gaming experience alongside a grim storybook adventure. It all works incredibly well with only a few dips of quality that will surely be fixed over time. I enjoyed this experience thoroughly as it delivers on its action-adventure and haphazard gameplay systems.
Azario Lopez · Sep 20, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Lost in Random has the potential of a modern classic in the making. More than the Tim Burton vibes or the uniqueness of the combat mechanics. There is a certain charm to its writing and the line delivery that’s hard to place, be the epic poetry battle with Mayor Royam or Seemore giving Even a pep talk worthy of a sports underdog movie. It’s one of those games that I would actually consider a sleeper hit. As such, I highly recommend for the story content first. The combat, a near second.
Erickson Melchor · Sep 15, 2021 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Lost in Random offers a highly enjoyable experience with rich, dynamic gameplay and an interesting plot. While it's weighed down by repetitive fetch quests and some bugs, it's easily still one of the most charming games I've played so far.
Abdul Saad · Sep 15, 2021 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - This sprawling action adventure has way more meat on its bones than you may first expect if you’re only looking for a quick dive into a Tim Burton-esque wonderland. Lost in Random is loaded with tons of side quests, interesting lore, and a decent semi-real-time, semi-turn-based combat system that ends up getting bogged down by dumb enemy AI. Beyond that, the five worlds that follow the relatively drab intro section each offer their own unique quirks, struggles, and characters that won’t be forgotten any time soon.
