Time For The Demon Child To Come Play

By Tenna Kortly


The truth is I am not one to play these games, and I found it a bit too creepy playing a six-year-old kid who, by the way, look sinister as hell (no pound intended) that runs around and kills people because his devil father, said so, and so he can get telekinesis powers.

So as, your read this review of the Lucius game, consider that I am not the usual fan of the genre, and I just wrote this for your sake, with that being said if you are in the Halloween atmosphere or a fan of horror games and puzzle type games, and you do not mind using a little kid to slaughter entire families, then yes, this can be something for you.

Ok so after where done with proclaiming what I'm not and why I'm writing this lets begin with the game, Lucius starts with a cinematic when you see yourself (don't worry without the icky parts) born, and at the same time a deal with the devil is made, and up into your little innocent baby body crawls a demon spawn as the cinematic is down we find ourselves in the 6 year birthday of Little lucios, which by the way, has a scary ass face, on this day the devil approach Lluciuos and command him to kill.

You kill your nanny by locking her in a giant freezer. The entire games revolve around the fact that you are an innocent young boy so as you plot away on how to kill people, you still need to go and brush your teeth before you go to bed and sleep by ten.

Just like any good puzzle type game you need to get the right items and set them in place for your target to die, while maintain the good boy act, however, as the game continues you will get powers to help you out.

Shooting fireballs off your hands and moving things with your mind are only few of the powers you will gain as you move along Lucius murdering people.

Let's talk about the graphics, the graphics of the game are truly high level I do not mean call of duty or anything like that; nonetheless, it is still impressive, and as I believe it is as it should be the mansion is full of details and little things you can interact with like glasses, cups, cabinets, keys, locks and crucifixes that you need to be turned upside down if you do not want to lose your demon powers.

The ambience of the game is pretty good as the music is done well, and you can get that horror feeling from playing the game. I personally didn't like the cut scenes too much as I believe there were just too many of them, but I guess that is another thing you need to get used to when you play horror games as the objective is to make it feel like a movie more often than not.

The highly level of details also come be and hurts the game in terms of long loading times as you move around the mansion, which can really annoy at times.

A disappointing fact about playing Lucius is that the murders or otherwise said the puzzles have only one way of being solved, and you can only move from a to b, in other words. They invested a lot in the game details, but when it came down to give us options of killing our marks, they left us with one possible way.

As a new comer for the genre of horror games I found the need to kill a target only in one way and without getting any clues from inside the game, very annoying many times.

Overall I found the game interesting but lacking in fun playability, while a hardcore genre lover will probably get more than a few hours of fun playing Lucius i just could not enjoy it that much.
