Nintendo Switch User Reviews

Me he pasado muchos juegos de puzzles. Entre ellos el Witness, Outer Wilds, etc. Sé reconocer cuándo un juego es obtuso de más y juega con mi tiempo. Lorelei es un bloqueo constante en un escenario reducido. He pasado muchas horas dando paseos y cuando, por desesperación y curiosidad morbosa, miras la solución del puzzle quieres tirar la consola por la ventana. Desde luego no es para una persona quetenga 1 hora al día para jugar. Dropeado.

Récent, mais s'impose déjà parmi les classiques des jeux de **** jeu est gigantesque, bien plus grand qu'on ne pourrait **** quantité énorme d'énigmes et de puzzles à résoudre. Une si grande quantité implique des puzzles superbes, astucieux, intéressants et satisfaisants à trouver. Mais aussi des puzzles plutôt ennuyeux, pas instinctifs et parfois absurdes. C'est ce qui pour moi fait baisser la note. Trop de puzzles (donc on peut se perdre assez vite) et une thématique qui revient quasiment tout le temps (celle des dates), j'ai trouvé dommage que toutes les énigmes tournent autour de ça.Cependant la plupart et même la majorité de ces puzzles sont très sympas ! Tout le reste du jeu est vraiment excellent. L'ambiance, les secrets, la DA, l'histoire **** vous préviens aussi, le jeu est compliqué ! Je vous spoil, vous n'arriverez pas faire le jeu à 100% sans aide. J'aime faire les jeux de puzzles sans internet, mais là c'était impossible pour 2-3 puzzles. Mais n'ayez pas honte de vous débloquer au lieu de rester perdu.Sûrement dans mon top 5 jeux de puzzles.

For a country bumpkin like me who knows nothing about art, this game is like the Mona Lisa—but painted with ****. **Clumsy Controls & UI** --No Back Button 19th-century typewriters had a "return lever," but this 2024 game lacks even a basic back button. You can only control direction and press "OK." To "go back," you must move the cursor to [X] and confirm. The devs clearly knew this, yet deliberately designed it this way. "Don’t you think it’s artistic? As modern-day Picassos, we find this profoundly artistic—a design only the god of art could conceive." Once you enter a puzzle panel, there’s no exit; you’re forced to fail intentionally just to quit. --Players Struggle Not with Puzzles, but with "Wait, This Button Works?!" After dozens of hours, I only have one area map. I found all map boxes but had no idea how to open them—until I accidentally discovered the puzzle interface had page-turning (designed to be utterly unnoticeable). Another example: the torn poster puzzle. I tried reassembling it on paper, only to later realize you could move fragments in-game... with zero hints. **Disconnected Puzzles & Narrative** The core gameplay is number-juggling: turning symbols into digits, adding/subtracting them, visualizing numbers as shapes, digitizing graphics, then using them to unlock things. None of this connects to the game’s artistic style or story. I’d rather solve magazine puzzles—they’re more fun and remind me of childhood joy waiting to validate answers in the next issue. **Puzzles Demand Mind-Reading** Example: Two movie posters hang on a wall with a "+" between them, and a locked door requires a numeric code. If you "sync brainwaves" with the dev, you’ll know to add the films’ release years. But why? Why not total their runtimes? Or count the "." in their titles? Or sum their character counts? (All actual puzzle logics used elsewhere). No reason—just whether you guessed the dev’s arbitrary whim.**Zero Guidance **The game opens by telling you to " grab pen and paper," which I foolishly did. My notes now look ridiculous—mostly useless scribbles. In an alien world, how would anyone know which details are keys and which are trash? Stopping to jot things down constantly murders immersion. I spent hours lost because I couldn’t link poker cards to doors. After scouring maps and documents, I caved and checked a guide. Turns out, I’d missed one throwaway line—unrecorded in any log—just like the only truthful ad for GameSpot:"Missing small details can also lead to feeling lost and unsure where to go next, which can be frustrating."

THIS GAME IS ART! ART IS SUBJECTIVE! MY SUBJECTIVE OPINION IS THAT I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS GAME. It started off as a fun puzzle game that had me scribbling in a notepad looking for clues having a blast and devolved into a mess of puzzles within puzzles within puzzles, confusing layout, overabundance of nothing art and overall very meaningless progression. I had to pull out a guide at around 70% and was still lost and frustrated. I love puzzles.... I hate puzzles that call themselves art. MF pick a lane. Now when I get frustrated and hate the puzzles I'm gonna hate the art too. I was looking to forgive all that, put my differences aside if the ending at least ... at least did SOMETHING! Instead it was an ending I had guessed well on in the early game and everything leading up to is was a waste of time. 3/10 laser my eyes out of my skull.

I made an accountat Metacritic just to give a review of this fantastic game. From the title one could only imagine this to be a run of the mill point and click puzzle with a fancy name. However this game is far from that. At first personally I found the controls to take some getting used to, as with the unique animation and graphics the game haf. In the first 10 mins of me playing it, i had first impressions of this being an overly complex puzzle adventure. However as i go along i find the puzzles challenging but subtle hints are put along the way (eg clues are underlined in notes, and the whole game had several names which are used again as solutions, recurring years, etc). Puzzles use a combination of some math, able to pick out patterns and common sense, as well as reading up on other clues that lead to the answer. I found the game to be slightly on the difficult side but the amount of tasks you had to check off to recover memory makes this game rather value for money, as compared to some other puzzle games i played before that either can be completed in less than a day, or were just too difficult to solve and werent inspiring enough for me to pore over and complete. If you are a fan of puzzle adventure games (eg Agent A, Monkey Island), this game is definitely to be included in your list.

Brilliant in all senses. A complex story with deep layers and secrets that happen in a big mansion, the Last Year Hotel. It reminds me of titles that play with the "meta" factor like Inscryption or Fez. Fantastic game.

A pure wonder of a puzzle game. It takes a little while to really settle in, but then the magic starts to operate and you just can’t stop exploring and scrapping on your notebook the most unlikely combinations of shapes, letters, figures,.. you keep jumping from a riddle to another, never solving them in the order you had imagined at first, and always with a massive satisfaction when you finally manage to unlock that door or crack that code that has been driving you nuts for hours. Everytime you begin to think you’re stuck, there’s always a little something new to pop in your mind, and there you go again chasing the next hint. Brilliant ideas show up at every corner of the obviously Resident Evil-inspired mansion, but in which zombies have been replaced by abstract visions and cryptic characters. And yet, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, despite all these game design qualities, would probably be just another pleasant puzzle game, if at some points, hidden in the shadows of love, death, time and art, the faceless poetry of this masterpiece didn’t strike by surprise. Another magic trick, and all the exhaustion caused by the efforts you put in frying your brains, vanishes into thin air. Little by little, the atmosphere of mystery, quite casual and overplayed at first, gets more and more sincere, meaningful, and the strange world you boarded in becomes yours, until the perfectly executed and heartfully moving conclusion. Don’t miss this game !

The puzzle game for those that love puzzles, especially number and word-based puzzles. Great atmosphere. You never know what will be around the next corner. This developer is showing they know how to make great games of all different kinds. If you like puzzles, give this game a shot!

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a puzzle design masterpiece. If you're a 90's kid, and you're used to having a paper and a pen by your side when playing puzzle games, you would most likely have a brilliant time! There were so many times when I stared at the puzzle in front of me for a while not having a clue, until I reached that sweet Eureka moment and felt wonderful about cracking the puzzle. To me Lorelei and the Laser Eyes felt like a tasteful strong puzzle cocktail, and I loved it.

A pearl in the independent titles market. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes balances old-school gameplay with the human mind's curiosity for complex puzzles where the solution is right there at hand. Each solution is a rush of adrenaline that leads you to continue coming across two more new puzzles. The Simogo team has expertly orchestrated the in-game gameplay and another created off-screen with pen and paper for the player but not everyone is ready to face. Lorelei does not accompany you in the game but it is you who must accept the challenge.

One of the most creative puzzle games in years. A very stylish art style and an interesting story that is a puzzle in of itself. Highly recommend!

Great puzzles. The only ones that didn't follow the internal game logic were optional. I enjoyed piecing the story together and the ending sequence was really memorable. Stellar combo of design, small personal mystery, and puzzles. I only knocked of a star for the extended tank controls sections :(

My GOTY for this year. This game presents itself like a noir film with mysterious characters and refined aesthetics, but as you may know, you can't judge a book by it's cover, and Lorelei and The Laser Eyes just keep surprising you from the beginning till the very end. The puzzles are on point and perfectly distributed; they can be hard for people who usually doesn't play this type of games, but the game doesn't require to solve them in a order, so you can shift and try later, which in most of the cases work, plus you'll fell like a true genius after solving them, it's very satisfying. If you feel that you could like this game, just play it, it will be all worthy.

Very good game forfans of Puzzles, very hard tho. I recommend playing with friends and thinking about the riddles together

I was enjoying the game up until the 50% completion mark, roughly 25 hours in, but then the game devolves into a series of ****, unfun, sometimes headache inducing mazes. It's just not dreadful. Additionally the design choices which in the early game are annoying at first, begin to /actively/ punish the player and inconvenience them with no other reason than, "Haha f*** you" in the late game. All my good will from the first impressions with the game has been drained away as the end game approaches and the level of player inconvenience and **** ramps up. Really frustrating.

Let's say it first : "Lorelei and LL" is brilliant in its aesthetic, and in the feeling of mystery it carries. I get it. The atmosphere is unique - and will not suit everyone, but will be amazing to some others. Some of the puzzles are one of the most brilliant ever seen - especially the ones that revolves around "gaming itself." and the most global ones. Yet, i don't get how people can give it a nearly perfect score. The control scheme is utterly annoying and frustrating.. Moreover, while some puzzles are brilliants, some others are just tedious. And last but not least, most of them are only about converting digits into symbols. It's the same old translating process over and over, again and again. It's sometimes well executed, it has some meta meaning, ok. But it's nowhere close to be a GOTY containder. So all in all, ok, play it, it's lovely, it has brilliant moments, and sometimes it's very rewarding. But be also prepared to encounter teeth-gritting stuff. If you are used to "escape rooms" games and logic puzzles, you'll see a lot of stuff you already know. And repetitive ****. That does not make it a bad game, again it's GREAT, but it is certainly not "a masterpiece close to perfection". Only a good and haunting game, which is already more than we can ask for.

Cool as hell, challenging and inventive, love the style and the general vibes and spookiness of the hotel you get to explore. i will admit to feeling a little overwhelmed when I saw what the full scope and breadth of the final puzzle would entail and that's why I did not beat it. But definitely one of my favorites from this year.

Un joc **** trencaclosques que un cop resolts creuràs que ets Deu.L' estètica i la narrativa originals i ben executat en tot moment,amb algunes parts del joc pixelades i un so i unes músiques que et farà estar en tensió en tot **** la meva part es una gran recomenació,però si no t' agrada aquest tipus de jocs no ho intentis

I wish there were more games like this. This is a game for people who like logic puzzles, taking notes, and reviewing things from all angles. The fact that this is seamlessly woven in the story made me unable to put it down. Only a few of the puzzles seemed a bit unfair, with elements being distractions and irrelevant to the solution. Only other criticism is that I wish there were dedicated Back and Menu buttons. The one handed control setup is great and would still work with these added buttons. Great game to play one handed while petting your dog.
