    It's fine... I guess. I mean the artistic vision and world design is really breathtaking and something what we haven't seen for many, many years. This is not just "Burton inspired" but it's 100% Burton-like (good Burton-like). But gameplay is... clunky. We do nothing interesting or engaging through all game. And fighting system is just awful, clumsy and down right not fun. Such a shameIt's fine... I guess.

Such a shame that Zoink repeats mistakes from Fe - we have great climate, visual feast and not bad story, but gameplay is just meh.… Expand

    Along your way you meet a dice, and you set off an adventure to git the dice more pits so it cann roll higher numbers, to eventually get to the kingdom of 6…
    youll also get cards to build of a deck of 15… these cards help in a variety of ways during combat, essentially youll hit weakspots with slingshots, fill up a card so you can roll dicey, the number you roll is how many action points you get to play a card such as having a word, or throwing out a bomb.. even healing.. just to name a few.. and youll do a mixture of combat and exploring these creapy tim burton like towns solving the problems of its residence to help you move on.. .
    The greatest aspct of lsot in random is its world building.. I loved living in thise creepy little land.. meeting its colorful cast of charcters.. however I felt like eventually it all just became too much.. I felt like I was mostly sitting through dialog, waiting for my turn to choose a dialog option that didn’t change anything in the world or its gameplay, it was just an artificial choice wasting my time, pretending it was important.. causing me to get bored about halfway through, just wanting to push forward and explore the world, but instead these charcters just wanted to talk and talk and talk.. I stopped caring.. skipping dialog just trying to move on, go to the next section to throw down some dice and mess enemies up, til that too became a bore.. combat here just isn’t satisfying, it’s a novel idea at first reminding me a bit of kingdom hearts unchained memories, I love the idea of deck building for combat, but with how slow cards come out, and how annoying it is to aim for weak spots on enemies in general in terms of all video games, it just felt like a slog at times.. Something I feel that could be fixed with these shtos of my slingshot at least doing a little damage, encouraging me to use cards to be more powerful rather than rely on them to progress forward..
    Overall I appreciate the world of Lost in Random, the characters are crazy, the world is intriguing, and there are many great life lessons to be taken, but the pacing from the combat to the story is just awful, its bad and brought this nearly great game down in my eyes.. not by much.. but I found myself noticeable liking the game less and less the more I played it…

    Игра выглядит неплохо, но не более того. Отсутствие адекватной локализации тоже минус. Атмосфера необычная, но отталкивающая. EA продолжает экспериментировать, но пока получается так себе.

    A very average game, average story telling, poor combat, beautiful graphics, slightly messed up pacing, great characters, it was fine.

    A unique adventure game packed with a fresh and deeply intriguing story that unfolds in a dystopian fantasy world which is meticulously detailed. The combat appears innovative at first, but it is heavily weighed upon by its unbelievable leniency which only serves to make battles a chore.

    Those who enjoy dark aesthetics and unorthodox storytelling will find Lost in Random to be a treat.    A unique adventure game packed with a fresh and deeply intriguing story that unfolds in a dystopian fantasy world which is meticulously detailed. The combat appears innovative at first, but it is heavily weighed upon by its unbelievable leniency which only serves to make battles a chore.

    Those who enjoy dark aesthetics and unorthodox storytelling will find Lost in Random to be a treat. It may not be a challenging game, but it is accommodating and arguably worth a recommendation for casual and young players.

    The developers should have offered the choice of a harder difficulty to provide for more of a challenge. Many battles are long and rely on attrition to force the player to lose. They are weary to go through and only force the player to want to quickly rush through the game just to enjoy the rest of the story, which is surprisingly spectacular and singlehandedly keeps the game afloat.

    Although I have given this game a 6, it is more like a 6.5 out of 10. The story is brilliant and the characters are entertaining. The combat, however, is exhaustingly tedious and never gets any better.    … Expand

    The cute horror game in the style of Tim Burton offers a unique combat system. However, balancing issues and a lack of variety impair the fun.

    Lost in Random is a 3D action game with a focus on deck-building with magical cards. By having the player roll a dice, the game brings an interesting factor of chance to the table, but it can not be denied that this element can also work against itself.

    Lost in Random excels in storytelling and offers an unconventional combat system. If you like visiting unique worlds, enjoy dark fables and appreciate a good story, you’ll get hooked on this game big time. I was eagerly awaiting Alice: Asylum and suddenly this gem appeared. Here’s to more wonderful surprises like this one. [11/2021, p.74]
