    Oscura: Lost Light is a very satisfying puzzle platformer, unfortunately brought down a notch by some troublesome controls and by the fact that it doesn't offer anything particularly new.

    Unresponsive and unintuitive controls hold back what is otherwise an excellent, atmospheric platformer.

    Ultimately Oscura’s light is, I think, destined to fade into the darkness of forgotten platformers.

    The control issues of Oscura Lost Light make the game very frustrating!

    A puzzler/platformer.
    Rather entertaining.
    Oversensitive when air-walking (while jumping/falling.) However, it doesn't save your progress,

    However, it doesn't save your progress, despite checkpoints.
    They are session-only.
    Quit and you'll have to redo the entire last chapter.
    This makes Oscura useless as a software, Chocolate Liberation Front incompetent as developers.
    A. Complete. Waste. Of. Space-time the lot of them.
