Aug 12, 2024Leximan is a pretty short adventure, but it’s a great one nonetheless. Its humour and wit never fails to make me smile and laugh, and everything that it throws at you is fun in its own way.

Aug 26, 2024While it suffers from a strange fascination with minigames, Leximan skillfully stitches together its many parts. A good sense of humour, nice writing and an enjoyable, if somewhat unexplored, central mechanic make Leximan a delight to play.

Aug 16, 2024I’ve never played anything quite like Leximan, and I’m not sure I ever will again. But I am hugely grateful a game this unashamedly silly exists, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a bit of a giggle.

Aug 12, 2024A wonderfully silly little quest, Leximan feels like a love letter to anyone who’s ever played an RPG. Killer writing brings humour and warmth to its simple adventure gameplay, while a whirlwind tour of genre-spanning minigames provide constant variety that surprises and delights. Despite some occasional wonky controls and slightly under-utilised Lexicon mechanics, its iconic encounters and clever use of wordplay make this magical journey a pleasure to experience.

Aug 21, 2024Leximan is a delightfully madcap adventure that resists setting down into a comfortable groove. Instead, the seven-hour game is capricious and lively, throwing a procession of different moods and challenges at players.

Aug 12, 2024Leximan is one of the most unique games I’ve played in a long time. It’s a love letter to old-school gaming and retro fans are sure to appreciate the genre medley. While a few points felt a bit clunky or unclear, the humour and unique gameplay shines through and though it wasn’t quite what I was expecting, I’m glad I played it.
