    Sketchbook Games' narrative platform/puzzler is appropriate for all ages, but that doesn't stop it from going to some surprisingly dark places. Though the platforming and light puzzle solving are enjoyable (if none too challenging), the story and artwork are the stars of the show. Impatient players might want to stay away, but for those interested in a life affirming story about overcoming obstacles and learning to deal with regrets, Lost Words is a beautiful experience.

    It’s an emotional tour de force that will keep you hooked from start to to finish.

    Do not rely on the first few minutes of play which make it look very naive, as you risk missing out on a beautiful and touching story.

    Lost Words is a touching tale with exceptionally grounded writing, but be ready to go through a middling execution in order to get the best out of it.

    Lost Words: Beyond the Page tells a tender, emotional tale, but you’ll find yourself wading through the fantastical and mechanical elements of its secondary one in order to reach its conclusion.

    A rare Stadia exclusive presents a simple, touching story, matched by mechanics that are a touch too slight.

The journal part has a watercolor feel. The parts in estoria have a similar painter feel, but are very different. The only downside is it is a little short (6 1/2 hours). This title is very worth-while… Full Review »

    This is going to keep you busy for many 10's of hours, but if you play with a youngster, it'll be a bonding experience. Some games are works of art. This fits that category.    … Full Review »
