    Lost in Random basically accomplishes evereything it needs to: it tells an intriguing and original story that mixes innovative gameplay systems, it is not afraid to gamble and it pays off in almost every little thing. This is a game worth considering, both for how fun it is and how interesting it manages to remain.

    Lost in Random is a game with a great fantasy story, an unforgettable art direction, an original battle system, and details that will make you smile at various times. It is a must-see title for anyone who has grown up reading and listening to fantasy stories and an adventure game that everyone should try.

    If you enjoy the visuals, the originality of Lost in Random will probably ensnare you, with its weird but efficient alchemy of cards, narration and dice.

    Aside from a couple of noticeable dips with less fleshed-out areas in the final act, Zoink held my attention for my entire 11-hour playthrough. That counts for a lot. If given the chance, I’d love to return to the world of Random in a possible sequel to Lost in Random that smooths over some of these first-game-in-a-new-series pitfalls.

    Lost in Random is a very interesting game, built around an original concept and tied to it until the end, for better or for worse.

    Lost in Random offers a highly enjoyable experience with rich, dynamic gameplay and an interesting plot. While it's weighed down by repetitive fetch quests and some bugs, it's easily still one of the most charming games I've played so far.

    Like a toss of the dice, Lost in Random can be truly inspired at times, and a little underwhelming at others.

I have not completed all the side missions and have collected several collectibles, reaching 60% of the trophies. The timer marks exactly 10 hours, which can easily double if you aim for extreme completeness, perhaps with a second run.
    A little big game, a bizarre adventure, steeped in friendship, with a Gothic-Burtonian flavor. Lost in Random has some flaws that are the son of its independent nature, well masked by the narrative and by some visual gimmicks that hide its technical limits. A particular combat system, which mixes elements already seen but giving it a unique character and a world to explore full of characters, secondary missions and secrets. A little too long and some situations that are repeated a little too often do not, however, undermine the general experience, which will make you curiously advance towards the discovery of your destiny.    … Full Review »
