    Simogo showcases its characteristic ability to wrap compellingly novel gameplay in a distinctive visual aesthetic, all the while telling a captivating story.

    The cryptic Lorelei and the Laser Eyes may very well be the greatest puzzle game ever made.

    Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is undoubtedly one of the best puzzle games of this generation. Recommending it to fans of similar works would be extremely banal, which is why we suggest you put aside your prejudices about the genre and give an opportunity to an experience as crazy as it is ingenious for narrative, artistic and metatextual solutions. Although days have passed since our final session, the specter of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes will continue to haunt our thoughts for a long time.

    For all its cinematic aspirations and borrowings, though, it's clear the Swedish studio's heart firmly belongs to videogames. [Issue#398, p.104]

    Lorelei and the Lasers Eyes' puzzles are clever, its vibes perfectly eerie, and the desire it evokes to uncover every inch of its intricately interwoven mystery is irresistible.

    A thrilling mystery that asks players to rise to its challenges, and rewards them when they do.

    There are glimmers of clever moments caught in a sea of busywork here, but take away the shoddy controls and the obsession with layered math problems, and what are we left with? Someone’s absurdist thriller mystery that is so esoteric that it’s hard to care. Honestly, I can’t recommend Lorelei and the Laser Eyes to anyone other than the most patient and experimentally inclined players in the world. For everyone else, heed my words of warning — sit this one out.
