While Lost In Random could certainly have benefitted from more variety and depth, the overall experience is more than saved by its dense assortment of creative elements.
Finally a new game that has some truly unique and original settings and tones. Feels like a video game more than a simulation like most games try to be now
PlayStation briefly mentioned it in one of their State of Whatever events, but you’re right other than that I haven’t seen much about it and only knew what it was bc I check the psn, USeshop, and Microsoft store often looking for something new to play.
You had to watch the game conferences to keep up with it and gaming UA-cam channels. You have to do your due diligence. There was marketing and promotion
@@Th33anomaly That's with everything . Gaming commercials on tv are few and far between unless you're Uncharted/God of War/Kingdom Hearts/Mario/etc. Everything is online and you have to be involved in those channels to know what's going on. We dont get gaming magazines mailed to our houses on a subscription anymore. That's how I use to get all my news as a kid and still that was me seeking it out AND PAYING FOR IT. (My mom paying for it)
I’m in 4 town and am loving this game.the art style and characters are excellent. I am also having a great deal of fun messing with my deck build and trying out different combat styles. I was intrigued from when i first saw it at EA’s showcase.
5 hours into the game and it’s great, haven’t gotten dragged into a games story in an a long time. Sometimes feels like I’m playing a main role in a movie
Never been able to handle the idea of card based combat in video games really, but fuck did I have tons of fun with the deck in this game, being able to switch your style completely or just stay solid on what you're comfortable with there was enough there to keep me entertained any time I got to a combat section of the game.
You can play the game in instant gratification mode if you build the deck right, I hacked and slashed the whole 15 hours while also enjoying a nice story.
It looks like a tim Burton or Henry selek movie and that's by far my favorite art style. I have been wishing for a remake or reboot of that Alice in wonderland game from ps2 the dark one and this seems pretty similar so I can't wait to play it. I still wish they would remake or reboot the Alice in wonderland game though.
A full fledged 3D game in Unity that not only looks good but is actually well optimized too!! Not a single frame drop on PC. This feels like an Unreal engine game! It seems Unity has gotten better over the years for 3D games. Fe was also done in Unity but it had some noticeable frame drops which is odd since it's not a demanding game
This game is amazing people. Just buy it. Honestly some of the most fun with a game I've had in ages. It's just so different. It reminds me of hoe games like spyro felt back when they were new, but way better. It's like it's animated by Tim Burton, great story line, soooo different. Fun and unique combat. Was $27 or so on series s. I'm Lovin it honestly, and I'm more of a first person shooter kind of guy.
I’ve played this since it’s release and I love the unique style, it feels like a Tim Burton universe, I don’t understand why some people get so confused by it tho, it’s easy to grasp and play, just follow those random rules haha.
It really felt like you were wondering through board games, and the sides of a die. The most ironic thing, regarding the narrative, to me, was “Random rules”! The Queen, in fact, did not care for truly random chaos. But the illusion of controlled chaos. So long as it was all controlled by her die alone. It rolled randomly, but the Queen was the only one in control. So it wasn’t truly random in Random. Not like ot had been. In turn, she’d wished to crush Random under her strict rule, that seemed like fair random chance, but was instead strict controlled chaos under her.
I almost skipped this game after hearing the combat wasn't great. But I have to say, the world and characters more than make up for it. I'm 3 hours in and it's been an absolutely joy so far. Exploring the world almost gives me the feeling of wonder that classic 3D Zelda games gave me as a kid, and that is about as high praise as I can give. Really love the characters and voice acting Honestly, the combat system will never be amazing, but it could be dramatically improved simply by doubling enemy damage, and halving their health. This would add a BIT of challenge, while shortening the encounters. Would really love to see this implemented. At any rate, even as it stands, it still good enough to not be a deterrent to play this game, as a package, it is WELL worth your time and money, ESPECIALLY at the absurdly low cost it's currently going for
I love gothic games, movies and art so I love the artistic style of this but I'm so BORED. I'm not sure if it really is the game or depression again but it's just such a slog to get through and too linear and I find myself skipping dialogue as it just seems to drag. I've made it to threedom square but I'm forcing myself to play at this point.
After you finish the game can you replay the game where your previous playthrough carry over? Like your strong from the start or the game resets back to zero?
Great question. From other reviews I've watched you RESET to zero. Like it won't let you keep playing after you beat the game. (Not 100% on this, but I know reviewers said you can't travel back to previous towns. So as example: Once you go to #6, you are stuck there)
This is the 2nd review that said this game was easy..I'm having a different experience playing on it with a pc but I'm also a little rusty. I'm in love with the story line.
I will admit. The mainstream ea games are really hit or miss. However, i really like all the games they have released from their "EA Originals" program.
Game is too blurry and there is no graphics option menu to change anything , forced AA , forced post processing. no Graphics preset. only brightness that help a little.
6.0/10 for me, and that is being generous because of the high production values and unique world/animation. Gameplay was like a 4/10. These developers should focus on animated movies. They don't know how to make an actual game with actual you know... gameplay. Smh! I swear it's pretty rare to get good gameplay on newer games. Developers focus so much on standing out, that the they forget the basics of what makes a game a game.

Looks wonderful. With all the solid Sept releases, I fear it might be lost in the crowd. I hope it finds an audience!
5 hours into the game and I really think this game is going to be a classic one day
@@cyrielroelofs thanks for tip! Nice to hear from someone who is playing.

American mcgee is currently making a third alice game.
It was called Alice madness returns
I have been waiting for the same thing
@@angelganon8213 There was a game before that titled American McGees Alice, which has a somewhat different tone than Madness Returns
Playing this after Psychonauts! Gotta love Fall season gaming
I just finished psychonauts 2 last night too. My game of the year by far, it was fantastic.
Psychonauts 2 is by far game of year I want this but eastward comes out 9/16 my 2 nd most anticipated game of the year
@@antisocialgamer1599 so you haven't played ratchet and clank bc that's playstation and better
@@brianoneil3362
Yall havent learned yalls lesson after Baldo.
Eastward is gonna shatter yalls Hoes and dreams

It's Odd that you wouldn't Even insert an attempt of a Random but Dicey joke
I understood those references!
It reminds me of Alice: Madness Returns.
I was getting the same vibes
Me too
Yeah and they're both by EA, so makes sense. 😁 (even sold in a bundle together on Steam if you wish)
Looks unique and it looks like it was made with love by its developers. I like that.
Looks like a ps3 game
Yes it's definitely a labor of love
Buying this tonight after work, can't wait to play
This game is amazing people. Just buy it. Honestly some of the most fun with a game I've had in ages.
It's just so different. It reminds me of hoe games like spyro felt back when they were new, but way better.

Fun and unique combat.
Was $27 or so on series s. I'm Lovin it honestly, and I'm more of a first person shooter kind of guy.
Hoe games like Spyro? Love me some Hoe games. Not a big fan of GTA but good hoes still...Guess I'll check it out. Thanks!
About how many hours does it take to beat it
No idea yet. I've played like 2 or so hours so far.
There are 6 lands in the game, and with how long I've played, I'm just getting to the third land.
@@timpierce4741
So you like gardening games then. Like stardew valley and of rice and ruin.
@@InnerRise yes sir
I’ve played this since it’s release and I love the unique style, it feels like a Tim Burton universe, I don’t understand why some people get so confused by it tho, it’s easy to grasp and play, just follow those random rules haha.
Just finished this game today. 10/10 for sure!.
As a MediEvil fan this looks tight! Speaking of Sir Dan it's a yearly tradition playing the remaster the whole month of October. 3 more weeks!!
Yeah it hit me right in the medievil feels a lot. You will definitely like it if you like medievil
Perfect Halloween game can’t wait to play it for spooky month !
That's a great idea. Wish I knew this game existed around that time lol
That’s what happened to The Duke 2:20
Just started playing this last week. Very good. Art style, general aesthetic and music give me major Nightmare Before Christmas vibes

"i am new to the channel and its not time to subscribe!" You will not force me "with its time to" NO ITS NOT TIME TO! i will decide when its time to!
From the same devs of Fe? I am getting this game right away
If Tim Burton made video games. Im getting this one for sure!
4:50 lol chips away at my patience
We need more games like this
Starting rn been waiting since reveal
This one and Tales of Arise, two games released on september 10 with a 8/10 score.
Well I'm getting it just for the atmosphere and art style of the game. The gameplay and story would be the icing.
After you finish the game can you replay the game where your previous playthrough carry over? Like your strong from the start or the game resets back to zero?

It has an art style lice alice in wonderland or Tim burton movies
60 FPS on next gen or 30? I think this is something that should be mentioned in every review. I personally don't buy 30 FPS games anymore.
I'm not sure if it's a solid 60 but it's definitely above 30
This is the 2nd review that said this game was easy..I'm having a different experience playing on it with a pc but I'm also a little rusty. I'm in love with the story line.
It’s a tim burton game.
Very interested, but it's a crowded release period. How long is the game, more than 10 hours?
I'd say it's right around there. Depending on how you play it could be more or potentially less.
@@Johnnygrafx Thanks, will give it a shot once I'm done with Deathloop...
Looking forward to this on Switch.
so beautiful so innovative good job EA
I will admit. The mainstream ea games are really hit or miss. However, i really like all the games they have released from their "EA Originals" program.
Unique
Really glad to hear it is fun. I had my eye on it, but it looks like one of those that could easily have been bad.
Looks a lot like the PS3 exclusive game "Puppeteer" which was excellent.
Is this 60fps?
Lost in Random kinda reminds me of Alice: Madness Returns
How long is this game?
8 to 12 hours
I love the game but the technical and gameplay could use a little improvement
I like it better then sume we get its original good rite
The combat sounds needlessly complicated. I'd have preferred less steps.
The art style is incredible. Gameplay (Im just starting to play) and combat seem tedious though

I swear Tim Burton rolled out of his grave and made this game
Tim Burton is still alive
Lol he isn't dead
Looks so cool. Tim Burton's back!!!
Just bought this for £2.49. Bargain 😂
I would've tried if it was on Game Pass
its on ea pro
@@theonewhoseeks4880 ea play?
@@Sp1n1985 ea play is what you get when you get game pass. ea pro is 14.99
Or you can actually support the indie studio and own a copy... you Gamepass people are loons
@@HipnikDragomir no. Gamepass or go to hell
So much better than Deathloop
Yo. 1st
Say what you want about British politics but they must be doing something right because British accents are in everything now...
The game is called lost and random. It is designed to get you lost
looks like a boring game
Look far too ugly for me.
