PlayStation 4 Critic Reviews

Lost Sea is an overall fun survival game, but it has too many flaws that keep it from being as good as it could be.

Overall, Lost Sea is a good amount of fun. It would likely be great for players who don’t take kindly to constant barrages of enemies, branching skill trees, and other relatively complex gameplay hurdles.

The game can be fun to play for a few hours here and there but repetitiveness filters through to the presentation, too, with reused music and visuals that become draining after a while.

Lost Sea is a fun diversion, it’s colorful and beautiful in a cute way and offers some fun moments. It just seems better played in shorter spurts than longer durations and unfortunately the game punishes those that prefer that play-style.

It looks good, it feels good, but a lot of this game doesn’t quite sit well with me. Lost Sea is a slow-starting but otherwise functional Roguelike that I’d definitely recommend – just remember that NPC abuse is wrong.

All in all, Lost Sea is a game that plays well, but rather than attempting to be a roguelike game, it should have focused on a strictly action/adventure style.

The lack of multiplayer, the lack of save data and the lack of a defined genre prevent Lost Sea from achieving something bigger, as it's clear that it has some good ideas and solid foundations.

Although Lost Sea provides fun, laid-back gameplay alongside a colourful, cel-shaded world, a lack of depth and some restrictive design choices may limit the scope of the game.

A charming little action/ adventure that is ideal for byte-sized gaming during the summer. But that’s just about it.

Lost Sea harbors (see what I did there?) a good idea and bright visuals with flawed execution.
