Lucius’s main premise is amazing. But the execution could have been way more solid. It limits the player, it’s ruthlessly and unjustly difficult in some cases, the characters pale and the graphics fail to impress. Lucius will be remembered as a great idea that “could have been”. [December 2012]

So many things don't fit, so many things work against each other, and everything just reeks of half finished game ideas.

There's a lot of content on offer for the reduced price, and Lucius will certainly appeal to puzzle enthusiasts who want a darker edge to their adventuring, or murder enthusiasts who'd like to give their brain a work out rather than their stabbing arm.

*Сын Сатаны вышел на охоту* на 4 часа геймплея. Из душного:
*Проблемы с логикой: не всегда понятно, как взаимодействовать с окружением. Иногда приходится догадываться взять предмет в руки и просто бегать с ним туда-сюда по локации, чтобы наконец-то появилась нужная метка. При этом в записной книжке не будет вообще никаких намеков на подобное действие. *Пиксель-хантинг: нредметы в игре практически не подсвечиваются. Если невнимательно осмотреть комнату и пропустить важную сюжетную вещь, пиши пропало. Найти ее потом в огромном особняке — та еще задача. *Искусственная затяжка: из-за неочевидных решений и затупов на поиске вещей можно легко потерять от 10 до 30 минут реального времени. Это начинает откровенно душить и воспринимается как пустая трата времени. А так Lucius — это прикольный мистический стелс-триллер с вайбами адского особняка. Играешь за малолетнего дебила Сатаны, задача которого — сделать так, чтобы в этом огромном доме ни одна живая душа не выжила. Геймплейно похоже на Хитмана, но с поправкой на чертовщину и мистику. Убийства здесь изобретательные, весьма жестокие и мясные, что даже поначалу вызывает ВАУ эффект, если изначально не знаешь, во что ты играешь.

No idea where any of the hate comes from one of my favorite games of all time.

The Finns decided to make an interactive version of the Omen. Playing the spawn of Satan is certainly refreshing, but unfortunately the game fails to grasp it's promising premise. Kiddie version of the Hitman isn't scary, but not very funny either. [Nov 2012]

While the question of whether it's a good idea to put players in the role of a dead-eyed mute psychopath is open for debate, it's undeniable that Lucius's developers have captured the feel of their inspiration perfectly. There are missteps that keep the game from truly excelling, and the story is serviceable at best, but Lucius provides a unique horror gameplay experience, and any hardcore fans of the genre owe it to themselves to give it a look, provided they have strong stomachs.

I loved it. It is a game where you have to kill each day a new person living in the mansion. Despite its hate its a really fun game Even though there is only one way to kill each character these are really fun ways. Freeze a maid to death by trapoing her in a freezer, burning somebody to death etc..I really recommend this game and evn the whole series. Its a really fun game.

jogo é bem divertido, aqui voce controla lucius o filho do diabo, aonde voce tem que matar todos... o jogo tem puzzles interessantes mas falha contar uma boa historia, que poderia ser bem explorada, alem de algumas mortes sem sentido sendo ate na pura sorte.

This adventure game is unorthodox. It has a controversial theme along with its inconsistent gameplay. The creators have failed to fulfill the original concept, nevertheless all of you the old B-horror movies lovers are going to have fun. Besides, if you love playing the "wrong" side having sadistic tendencies, there's no time to hesitate.

An interesting b-movie inspired horror game that offers a nice atmosphere, but lacks a certain identity to inspire the player.

Lacking in personality, visually ugly, harshly limited and pieced together sloppily, Lucius is a sad little waste of a good idea. I've waited years for another great game that lets you be the unrepentant bad guy. Looks like I'll have to keep waiting.

The truth is that Lucius looks like an old man like Benjamin Button, but the game is ok.

A great idea but poor execution with a very limiting storyline. Quirky game play and skills but ultimately somewhat dry and hard to chew as the game progresses. It is also very short for something that could have been expanded much further with more depth maybe into the target characters/side characters to make it a more engaging story.

An adventure game, without a quicksave option, is NOTHING. Game is also nice, although it has several technical challenges, but definitely passable. but without a quicksave is really ridiculous. I can not in the least understand how a developer does not reach this minimum basic concept
SummaryLucius is the son of the devil who has to clear the mansion of it’s residents. To do this he must orcastrate “accidents” without anyone suspecting him of any foul play. The player starts as Lucius and must cleverly devise these incidents from simple household items. Every time he succeeds he will gain supernatural powers to help him take... Read More
