    It is innovative and uses almost all of the handheld’s non-standard features without seeming the slightest bit gimmicky.
  2. Game Over Online

    It's innovative and interesting, though it can be very frustrating when you can't quite think your way around a dilemma and there's no obvious answer.
  3. GamingTrend

    While the game isn't flawless, there's enough fun and charm involved to make it definitely worth playing.

    It's okay that the title's pace is slow and methodical, but it lacks the hidden dangers one would expect in a strange and unknown place. [Nov 2005, p.112]

    It is a perfect showcase of what's to come and although it is somewhat frustrating at first, it truly is a rewarding experience later on.

    Technically speaking, Lost in Blue is a very annoying, and often clumsy, but the emotions it often invokes - the feelings of hardship, reward and companionship - are, at times, second to none, making it very much worth the laborious effort. [NGC Pocket]

    It's at times annoying, but mostly just challenging, presenting American RPG players with a welcome, exciting, and unique new arc. [Jan 2006, p.89]

    Something of a classic.
  10. Gaming Horizon

    Lost in Blue is an ambitious game that offers some quirky gameplay.
  11. N-Insanity

    As I like to repeat, if you have trouble with micro-management, Lost in Blue isn’t for you.
  12. 1UP

    It worries me a bit that I'm starting to enjoy all this tedium.
  13. Gaming Age

    This game tries to as accurately as possible replicate the feeling of being left for dead on an island. This means no tutorial whatsoever, so make sure you read those instructions before diving into this blue.
  14. RPG Fan

    Lost in Blue has its appeal, especially to those folks who enjoy the Harvest Moon series, or those who enjoyed Survival Kids on the GBC. There is comfort in repetition, and it's really not all that bad once you get the story rolling.

    I don't know if I missed something, but I felt like this game was only about fishing and feeding two characters in a virtual island. BecauseI don't know if I missed something, but I felt like this game was only about fishing and feeding two characters in a virtual island. Because that what I was doing the entire time playing this game. Couldn't explore more or discover anything interesting. It was just waking up, fishing, feeding and going to sleep again.

    But it was a very cute kind of game, and I liked the fact that Skie actually interacts with the player a lot. That's why I'm giving it a 5.    … Full Review »
