“The killing part is fun, but the puzzle part is not. Walked around the entire house 15 times before realizing that I needed to use telekinesis on the tiny ass light bulb behind the butcher.”
“7/10 The kills were pretty great, but some of the puzzles and whatever you had to find were kind of annoying to do on their own without better hints. I get it though. Now to idle so I can get the last 2 trophies.”

“Aged terribly. Buggy, nonsensical mess or a game with poor writing. Going for all achievements is fairly easy, until all that is left is playing for 20 and 40 hours. Hilarious when this can be 100% in less than 10.”

“Good idea but poor execution. Lucius has a solid premise, remind me of The Prodigy (2019) with the whole “evil child” concept. The problem is, that potential goes completely to waste. The game is buggy—even on low…”

“Exactly like I remember it from years ago. Never got to play till now, amazing game, the only thing i didn't like was to turn the graphics to medium to remove the motion blur but other than that, magnificent.”
