  Is it the greatest game I've ever played? No. The combat does get kinda stale eventually, but it's an interesting story, unique world, and has great voice acting. Plus, gotta support new i.p.'s in an age where everything is remasters from 10 years ago because nobody makes new games anymore.

  I was blown away by this game! The original gameplay, the phenomenal soundtrack and the jaw-dropping story with its many layers and twists -- all of it comes together in one of the best games I've ever played!! Highly recommended!

  Realy great adventure with Psychonauts vibes. The graphics are stylish. There is almost no platforming, the main gameplay is battles, which seems like something original and interesting. Alas, after you'll collect your main deck (in 4 or 5 town) there will be almost nothing new. Story isn't bad, but nothing special. Achievements are easy to get but there're few missable. So don't forget to check the guide if you want 100%, cuz there's no backtracking. Recommended if you are looking for smth new or tired from openworlds and ouposts.

  A 3rd person grotesque grim adventure like by Tim Burton creation. A mix of American McGee's Alice and The Little Nightmares. I enjoyed the previous two. This one left after very controversial impressions. "It could be not bad, but I feel like the game hadn't got a little bit. Just a little, but that was enough to cast a negative vote. Here supposed to be a neutral vote. Like curators do - "information post". I mean, I can understand what the game isn't bad, but I didn't like it. Period. A distinctive world with a lot of original ideas. But not mine." Those were my thoughts at the first quarter of the game. But then... Everything became worse. Strange combat with adding a popular now cards and dice system. You need to shoot in vulnerable enemy's spots, then collect crystals enough for dice throwing. Thereafter, chose required cards that randomly appears from your premade deck and use their abilities or weapons like in normal 3d adventure game. That repeat. And after the first quarter I lost necessity to rotate cards in my deck 'cause I found a universal option. I didn't need to adapt to another battle. They were the same. Slow, not challenging and similar. I'd say here many things connected with simple board games mechanics. And again, I love board games. But I don't like this game. I'd call it a bored game. Probably also I didn't like it because of absurd story with dreams logic elements. For example, a quest where you have to buy a word and sell it to another merchant. And Even (our protagonist) is ok. I liked her, but other NPCs isn't. They are copy-pasted, and you easily can find these clones everywhere. Also, I didn't like their appearance. They are ugly. They are dim and inexpressive. Their dialogue lines mostly abstract and empty. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3017149741 I caught myself on the idea that I wanted to avoid meeting with them. I didn't want to speak with them. I felt annoyed every time than I had to. Only in the end last 20% of the game I started to enjoy the process. Battles became tough, and the story got more interesting. But does it worth that? Because until this moment you must to play in boring game with boring fights between boring quests and dialogues of carton characters. So, it's up to you. P.s. You can find all my short reviews here. P.p.s. But if Tim Burton's stuff is yours, or you're an Alice fan, so you can, probably, give a chance to The Lost in Random https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3017149798

  Let's just start with what will keep you playing this game till the end! Pros: 1. Characters - From main characters to the copy pasted ones the unique models and styles are just amazing! Like I said even for the copy models they do vary them up enough to make the towns feel unique and full of people which I'll take over 4 models and the towns/areas feeling dead. 2. The voice acting - ....ohhhhhhh the voice acting is out of this world! Again as above the whether the main characters or the filler characters every single one feels like they have a complete personality that is unique to that kind of model and town your in. I don't know how many people worked on these voices but all of them deserve so much credit! I have never played a game where I enjoyed talking to literally everyone just because I want to hear more! Hell they even have gibberish talkers as well. 3. Scenery - Each area/town is so beautiful! I would spend a fair amount of time just looking around enjoying what every area looked like. As with the models and the voice acting the extra care that is taken to make them feel full and not just some copy pasted tile sets is another major props! All the places are twisting and turning in directions and the right size to no feel like you have to run 30 miles to turn in a side quest. But large enough to make them feel like what they should be. 4. Story - With everything I said above you will be enjoying this story from begining to end regardless if you know the story or think you know where the story goes. The story may feel like its dragging if you do talk to everyone since there is a lot of extra dialog that just builds up each towns history and such. But you can still get an amazing experience if you stick with following strictly main story markers (marked with a yellow !) or side quests (marked with a green ?). You will still meet awesome characters and get through the game at a more comfortable pace then trying to talk to every single character. Cons: 1. Controls and gameplay - This is a deck building/dice rolling game where you start each encounter with no weapons and use "perfect dodges" and your sling shot to have enemies drop "energy" for you to start pulling cards from you deck. Once you pull the max amount of cards you can roll the dice for a number this number is the amount of points to spend on cards with certain point values. This can start and stay with PAINFULLY SLOW combat if you don't build the right deck. You can when not in combat swap out cards to hold a max of 15 to play around till you have something you fancy but synergy is a must if you don't want fights to drag on forever! Tip* - what I highly recommend and made this game 10x more fun and the combat a lot more engaging was using all 1 cost cards especially these 2 cards; one that will reduce the cost of all cards in hand by 1 aka making all 1 point cards free and the one that increases how fast you gain max cards. I had zero issues with any fights and certain parts where rolling over and over is a must these went by much faster and never felt like a drag, They have an almost perfect game if not for a system that could use a little extra love but is something I have never seen before so understandable its rough around some edges. But these don't stop this gem of a game from shining and I only regret not playing this sooner!

  I just got done beating the game 5 minutes ago. I will some up this game as briefly as possible. [No Spoilers] Lost in Random is visually and conceptually fantastic, the game world and characters are filled to the rim with personality and creativity. The charm of this game is the adventure of exploring Random and discovering how the world came to ruin through interactions with the wonderfully voice acted creatures (and humans) of the world. The adventure aspect of the the game itself is top shelf, amazing, I would give it an 9 out of 10. BUT The game lost me with the combat. Oh how I really wanted to love it, but it really was a painful cycle. Let me explain. You have a slingshot, this slingshot does no damage and is solely used to hit crystals that are scattered on the battlefield, which upon collecting, will reward you with access to up to 5 random cards out of your 15 card deck. Then, you take a roll of your dice, conveniently named 'Dicey', who stops time and will give you a number. Each card in your deck costs a certain number which we'll call points. If 'Dicey' gives you enough points, any number between 0-6, you can spend it on whatever card so that you can buff yourself, deal damage, heal, you get the jist. So what happens when you roll low and you dont have a type card which can be used to give yourself more points or lower the cost of other cards? You have to exit the time stop, slingshot crystals, collect the crystals (which only 'Dicey' can do), roll the dice again and hope you get enough points to spend it on cards. Oh and hope you get the right cards from you deck to fit the occasion. Its simply not very fun shooting crystals off enemies for half of the fight then waiting to collect enough crystals to then hopefully get a chance to attack. Not to mention, when you buy a weapon card, eventually the weapon will break which means you'll have to kite enemies again for crystals. None of this would be an issue if the protagonist had something to swing with like in the beginning tutorial, which gave you a sword that wouldn't break. My last complaint is the ending. Again I wont spoil anything but simply put, if you build up the final boss to be this all power being... give them more than [b]TWO attacks[/b]. I cant express just how disappointed I was that basic mob enemies where more of a challenge than the final boss. For Lost in Random, the journey was where this game shines, because the final destination was incredibly underwhelming. If your able to jell with the combat system then it makes the trip even more worth the while. 7/10

  Lost in random is one of the few gems hidden in the EA game catalogue. Good voice acting, interesting world, original combat, great soundtracks. It's not a perfect game by all means, and it might feel like It's lacking in some aspects. I feel like the 1st town wasn't nearly as fleshed out as the others. The ending left me with mixed feelings too. However I overall very much enjoyed this title.

  I hadn’t heard or read anything of Lost In Random before I played this; I had only seen some screenshots. Maybe this will apply to you, too. Well, let me tell you; if you ever liked Psychonauts or Alice (Madness Returns) then this should be a game for you. Except that it has one additional feature: its unique combat. The game lets you play as Even, who wants to rescue her sister Odd from the evil queen after being taken. She’ll move from her town One-Town, the poorest of the realms, all the way to Sixtopia where she’s being held. Sixtopia is the queen’s region and naturally the wealthiest. Along the way you’ll meet and come across all kinds of people and creatures that will make for an unforgettable story and maybe even a few lessons. The entire game is narrated, by the way, and it works very well. Gameplay wise this is an action adventure with some light puzzle solving. Besides puzzle solving it’s mostly focused on combat and exploration. The combat is the main draw for this game, though: you will meet a die named Dicey early in the game. During combat enemies will spawn from a then-closed-off area that will disappear once all of them are defeated, much like action adventure games focused solely on action (like Devil May Cry, for instance). Anyway, Dicey will have just one dot on its body during the beginning and he’ll gather more (up to six) during your journey. These dots are, of course, used to decide how many points you can distribute between your available cards. Correct, this is also some kind of card battler. Let me give you an example of how this works in reality: Once you enter battle, the area around you gets closed off, meaning you can’t run off. They have to be defeated. The enemies will have randomly appearing blue shards appear on their bodies. Since you have a slingshot your goal is to aim at these parts that will then fall off and you can then run over or let Dicey pick them up. For every specific amount of shards picked up a card slot will be filled up. If you have just one you can throw Dicey around, which will slow down time, and select a card with the number one in it. Provided you have one equipped. If you have two slots filled you can pick two cards of one, or one of two, and so on and so forth. Eventually all cards slots will be filled up. Once that happens you have to throw Dicey if you want to collect more crystals or activate other cards. Friendly fire is activated for enemies and Dicey can also get hit, delaying the collection or activation, and knock smaller enemies over. Enemies will naturally grow stronger and get more diverse during the entire game. You’ll also be able to find and buy new cards to help you battle them. Sometimes you get one after a battle, but most of the times you’ll receive money to buy from them from a salesman. Buy enough cards from him to fill up a meter and after a few upgrades you get the ability to pin a card (that you want to save, or can’t use at that moment) you wish to use during your next throw of Dicey. Or the next. Cards are divided into combat, defense and cheats. Combat speaks for itself, defense too, but think of cards like healing and shields and cheats. Cheats are more diverse but are not always of the greatest use. Think of being able to deal damage when you hit the shards, for example. You can check out and rearrange your deck at any time you wish, but you can only equip a maximum of 15 cards at all times. The combat starts off slow, but gets faster later on if you decide to equip more powerful cards. But overall, the combat is still really slow. Too slow for my taste. Taking down enemies can take anywhere between 3-10 minutes. And while the combat is certainly unique it takes you a bit out of the game I’m afraid, just because it takes so long. Besides basic combat there’s also puzzle combat where you have to move forward your boardgame piece while also fending off enemies. It’s fun for variety, but also quite slow. Besides the main story there are also side quests to be completed. These are naturally optional, but they’re very fun to do. These will give you money and cards. Don’t expect a big open world, though, just six very large levels that occasionally open up (like arriving in cities) with additional paths to take. Vases are hidden (well, hidden might be giving it too much credit, but they’re strategically placed) in the levels that can be shot with the slingshot for additions money. The game has a lot of humor and comedic moments, which is also the reason that I compared it to Double Fine’s Psychonauts. Finishing the game should take about 12 hours so it’s a meaty game for sure. It's absolutely worth its money. There were a few issues that are worth mentioning, but overall this game is really polished. The things that bugged me are that some animations (like shooting vases) run at a lower FPS, making it look jittery. The other one is that Even occasionally gets stuck in the smaller environments. Not stuck-stuck, but someone that’s immediately noticeable nevertheless. Also, sometimes when reading through the dialogue faster (i.e. skipping the subtitles) the previous dialogue is still running. Reading and listening then had me confused for me a minute. I’m probably the only one who noticed, but hey, maybe you do, too. Graphically this looks like a mix of several things. It has a style very similar to movies The Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline and I think (could be my imagination) I saw a few resemblances to characters from the game Stick It To The Man (just looked it up and it’s indeed made by (part of) the same team). The graphics are sharp, the characters are weird and the atmosphere mostly dark, but when it’s clear it’s quite colorful. Everything is well animated, but the animations that are further away (especially noticeable when shooting vases) run at 30FPS which looks out of place. Plus, it’s just a weird choice. The voice acting is this game is extremely strong, with an excellent cast for practically all of the characters. Very impressive I must say. It’s mostly English, but there are also a few characters that speak gibberish. The sounds are simple with swooshing and plings, but they sound good. The music itself is very sweeping while also being sinister. I did have one issue with the voice acting, by the way, and that was that the lines yelled during combat (‘Get him, Dicey’) are too often repeated. Lost In Random is an amazing game with one gameplay aspect that makes it stand out and that is its card based/deck building combat. It’s a fresh idea that works very well, especially for an action adventure game, but unfortunately it’s a bit too slow in practice, with battles taking up to a maximum of 10 minutes or so. Still, it’s a really addicting game. Together with the wonderful artstyle and humor this is a game that simply has to be played if you even remotely like games like Psychonauts or the Alice franchise.

  Ever wanted to know what it's like to be part of a [b] Tim Burton [/b] film, now here is your chance. [b] Lost in Random [/b] is a fantastic game with a compelling story, fresh take on a deck building battle system, and beautifully crafted worlds as if you were playing a live-action version of [b] The Nightmare Before Christmas. [/b] You have a wide range of cards to collect [34 in total] which vary in the type (hazard, defense and trap). There are hidden story book pages throughout the game that can be collected and many optional quests to complete. The only negatives would be the low variety of enemies and the annoying town music which is often repeated in different numbered worlds. The game can be completed within 15 hours and I would categorize this as a game for casual players. [8/10]
