This game didn't receive the recognition it truly deserves. Truly a hidden gem. The story grabs you immediately and maintains a steady drip-feeding of excitement throughout its playtime. If you love open world games it not for you..9/10 would certainly recommend this game. If they worked on some small things like mouth movement in talking and add more weapon cards and this game will be 10/10.

I really enjoyed this game, which recalls the finest hours of stop-motion animation. We really feel immersed in the world of Tim Burton and Laika from beginning to end. I sincerely hope for a sequel to this poetic journey.

it is a good Game but not a great Game! I like the Way it looks and the story is good too, but it had too many flaws to be a great Game. For Example the Combat System on Paper is a great Idea, but it is getting repetitive very fast. Plus in my personal opinion the Game is also a little bit too long. Weird thing to say about a game that i finished in round about 11 hours, but it justfelt that way. Maybe cause the Game throws to many unnecessary random fights at you and like i said these fight are getting boring really fast. But i sound too negative already, i really had a good time with the Game when i did not had to fight. Since my review already sounds way to harsh i will end it with Things i really liked about the Game. The Voice acting was very good and it was also funny. And The Boardgames where fun too, so it is definitely worth checking out.

Fun game I came across on the store during a sale. I didn't know anything about this game. The combat and world are very unique. At first I wasn't sure about the card system in the game but it grew on me and was pretty fun. The setting and design is well done too. Reminds me a lot of Burton's stuff. The characters were likeable for me. Didn't see any problems in the game but definitely some controls could be smoother and better. Overall a great game. Definitely worth grabbing and playing. Another hidden gem I'm happy to have come across.

Seems like a bunch of the whiners are achievement/trophies hunters mad there's no chapter select, you're really adults chasing a little pixel trophy that means nothing? lol....Anyway, this is an AMAZING GAME. very few games can make you feel like you're lost in another realm, this one achieves that surreal feeling, eerie vibes all around from the environment & the NPCs you encounter, the combat was unique where you have to roll dice & choose cards, you pick your weapons & equipment in the fight, my biggest complaints would be I didn't care for the voice acting, it took me out of the moment a lot & the combat could have been more smooth, hears hoping they work that out in sequel because overall the story & gameplay is unique & interesting for sure !

No chapter select after finishing the game No backtracking No multiple save files Half the trophies can be missed Combat is bad, like expected in a game made by a highschool student, not even indie game level Dialog can be skipped but the audio still plays Had 1 random crash Art direction serves as a cover up to bad graphics most of the time. You can clip into most walls and objects, player camera gets often obscured during game play. Traversal is slow and very limited, sprinting doesn't really feel any faster than walking but it does cripple how fast you can turn I wouldn't recommend it to any gamer friends, maybe to someone i hate

Upon reaching the age of 12 a person’s fate is decided by the roll of cursed black die, but when Even's sister is abducted by the wicked Queen, she journeys across the six realms of Random to rescue her. The world of random is an interesting one full of entertaining characters, and the card/dice combination makes for some unique combat mechanics. A number of missions are stretched out longer than is really necessary however, and towards the end of the game combat encounters begin to feel like a bit of a chore, especially since the cards available to use never really evolve all that much from those you begin the game with.

Overlooking some gameplay and performance shortcomings (and some bugs), this game has a really fun and engaging story and atmosphere. It's not for everyone, but if you are a **** for indie gems this is a good pick.

Excellent game, great story. This game is like Alice in wonderland, in style and storytelling, a great fairytale, I passed on it at first, as RNG is not your friend, but the combat is fair. The side quests were fun, with some unique ones mixed in. Some light philosophy, but still acceptable for kids. I say if you are looking for something different to play, and you enjoy Alice in wonderland, go for it.

Terrible map design. Many boring quest, in a terrible map design. Frustrating. Combat is ok, charater ok, main story ok.. so "6" would have been honest. But there is no chapter selection; so a trophy hunter like me, must drop to "4". Because again: here is a terrible map design.

The randomness in the boss fights in conjunction with the fact that this randomness can make them a half hour long, or longer, makes this game incredibly frustrating. I have to do a half hour fight over again because **** dice rolling wrong over and over and over? This is bad game design. Im just jaw agape at the screen on the baroness fight, rolling "wall" over, and over. Its obviously rigged to make you have to fight her twice. Its maliciously designed. Like why? Who is this game for?

Lost In Random is an amazing game that is both charming and compelling. You play an eleven year old girl named Even, who explores six worlds, one for each roll of the dice, in search of her twelve year old sister Odd, who has been kidnapped by the mighty Queen who rules over Random. Each world is filled with quirky characters and unique architecture that is imaginative and inspiring. There is much to do at each town involving the main quest and side quests. I needed about four hours for each mission, but didn't find that tedious since everything about this game is quite fascinating.

The game is bla bla bla bla 300 choice, 3000 line and for no reason... The gameplay is repetitive, so you will get bored quickly... the story is nice, the performance is clunky and weird... save your time and play something else

this Game is very Nice. it has a really great story, nice Mecanics and its actually good with no microtransactions by Ea (something wonderful and rare i would say. say.) its a very long game about ca. 10 h but if you play the game you can finish it it ain't persona 5. this game is a good one. 8-10/10 would recommend

Let me start by saying this game has a lovely style. The artwork is amazing and I love the feel of this crazy little world. It reminds me of The nightmare Before Christmas in a lot of ways. Just stunning. The characters you meet on your journey are fun and quirky, and the quests are never dull. In terms of art and story, this is a 10 easily. What I didn't enjoy so much was the combat. It is very, very repetitive. And depending on the cards you get, man, some of the boss battles can go on for an age. I never felt like I was going to really die that often, but sometimes it would take 30 minutes to beat a boss fight and by the end of it, I was bored of the encounter. Now, that may have been me, and my combat approach, and sure, other peoples mileage may vary on that point. So to conclude, I found Lost In random to be a beautiful, charming and fun game, somewhat hampered by a long, drawn out and frustrating combat system.

Lost In Random An interesting adventure Lost in Random is creepy, it’s a 10 hour long card based action adventure game where you play as Even, out to rescue her sister Odd as they’ve been split up on Odds 12th birthday, where all the kids in town roll a die to figure out hwere in Random they’ll ive, she rolls a 6 and is swept away to live with the queen.. Along your way you meet a dice, and you set off an adventure to git the dice more pits so it cann roll higher numbers, to eventually get to the kingdom of 6… youll also get cards to build of a deck of 15… these cards help in a variety of ways during combat, essentially youll hit weakspots with slingshots, fill up a card so you can roll dicey, the number you roll is how many action points you get to play a card such as having a word, or throwing out a bomb.. even healing.. just to name a few.. and youll do a mixture of combat and exploring these creapy tim burton like towns solving the problems of its residence to help you move on.. . The greatest aspct of lsot in random is its world building.. I loved living in thise creepy little land.. meeting its colorful cast of charcters.. however I felt like eventually it all just became too much.. I felt like I was mostly sitting through dialog, waiting for my turn to choose a dialog option that didn’t change anything in the world or its gameplay, it was just an artificial choice wasting my time, pretending it was important.. causing me to get bored about halfway through, just wanting to push forward and explore the world, but instead these charcters just wanted to talk and talk and talk.. I stopped caring.. skipping dialog just trying to move on, go to the next section to throw down some dice and mess enemies up, til that too became a bore.. combat here just isn’t satisfying, it’s a novel idea at first reminding me a bit of kingdom hearts unchained memories, I love the idea of deck building for combat, but with how slow cards come out, and how annoying it is to aim for weak spots on enemies in general in terms of all video games, it just felt like a slog at times.. Something I feel that could be fixed with these shtos of my slingshot at least doing a little damage, encouraging me to use cards to be more powerful rather than rely on them to progress forward.. Overall I appreciate the world of Lost in Random, the characters are crazy, the world is intriguing, and there are many great life lessons to be taken, but the pacing from the combat to the story is just awful, its bad and brought this nearly great game down in my eyes.. not by much.. but I found myself noticeable liking the game less and less the more I played it… I give Lost in Random a 7/10

This game is fun, silly, and unique. Is it perfect - certainly not, but I wasn't expecting so large epic Witcher 3/Horizon Zero Dawn game. I'd recommend.

The developers of Lost in Random have created a great game for all platforms. Thus, the storyline and the atmospheric game world can provide many plus points. Also thanks to the interesting and very lovingly designed game characters and environments, a dense and eerie atmosphere comes up while playing. The battles are made interesting by the maps, but gradually the charm is lost. Still, we get a great and interesting gameplay. Those who would like to experience a somewhat different game should definitely move into the world of "Lost in Random". We think you should give the game a look.

Great game in fantastic art style. Like playing a 90s Burton/Selick movie. I think some people are forgetting this is an indie studio. Review bombing because your language isn't localised (you can see if it is or not before buying, so just don't buy?) is very silly.

It's been so long since the last time I've played a game so unique, gorgeous and engaging. Sure it has it's flaws, but those aren't very important. Don't mind angry russians with their '1' because there is no russian language. Most of them would get a pirated one anyway, so why bother

The game is incredible and one of my most waited games this year, gameplay extremely fun,lore and characters big and small super interesting,for me the only problems in it is the lack of replayability after you finish like been able to go back to visit any of the places we already went and the lack of costumesation for even, beyond that the game is perfect

Outstanding game. + unique and interesting Tim Burton styled world + very unique and fun gameplay. I really enjoyed all board games. Battle system is just fun and challenging at times, but definitely not for kids + awesome soundtrack + Story and characters are just great. I really felt involved into the story and wanted to save Odd, help to stop a war in 3rd world etc. - Only 2nd and 3rd world were nicely done. Others felt really bland - NPC design is reused too much. Same fish, bubaduba, long armslegs, rat guy everywhere - not enough colors here and there so exploring feels boring at times - how come Royam boss is harder than final boss? In fact he's the hardest challenge in the game. Like really? - sometimes it's really boring to listen to all optional dialogues, they don't give any interesting intel. Should've got rid of some - puzzles are too easy - no chapter selection. Guys I wanted to platinum your game, but after credits you don't have access to card shop, etc. At least give me check point before final bosses

I love the vibe of this game, it feels like I'm playing a Tim Burton movie. Also, people complaining about localization ... this game is an indie game made by a smaller studio from Sweden with 25 employees. Don't be such crybabies. You can't play every game in existence, so **** it up. There are so many japan-only games I haven't played and I don't go around review bombing them.
