I adore this game. A year ago, I was watching a video about some random terrible unfinished game, that was also about murdering people, where the commentator used Lucius as an example for how some of the mechanics could have been improved. I was intrigued and decided to get all 3 games in the series (I am yet to play the demake), and I played through each one. Now, I'm going back to get 100% achievements.

I've seen this game criticized a ton for being "goofy" and "bad", but I think it's just an aged and slightly cheesy masterpiece. The story starts from the simple idea of "what if the son of Lucifer was born into a human family?" and has you experience, from the son's perspective, exactly how events unfold. I love how this game turns a horror story into a villain-POV puzzle game. There are definitely moments where the solutions can be confusing or a bit hyper-specific, but none of them are impossible to figure out on your own.

The biggest criticism I've seen is the bugs. And honestly, I encountered very few. The biggest bug is a game breaking crash after the opening cutscene. Even though I took a while to find the solution that worked for me, the bug is fixable, and I added a community post with every possible fix I found. All other glitches I encountered were very small and didn't break the game or stop my progress or anything.

I get why some don't enjoy this game (especially if they entered the game not expecting a lot of gore) but I love it. I definitely think, with the right expectations (visit doesthedogdie.com and search for Lucius if you have concerns about sensitive content), those considering the game should check it out :)

This is a great free co-op game to mess around in with your friends, though it has many bugs worth mentioning.

1. Often while going back to lobby as the multiplayer host, your computer mouse will disappear. Sometimes, with enough tab-ing in and out you can fix it, but often this results in a restart.

2. The graphics, despite simplicity, are oddly demanding, as in without turning down the graphics on my computer the game would crash often. I don't believe this is a hardware issue because my computer runs games like RE2 (2019) and Dead by Daylight on high graphics settings quite well.

3. Every couple hours, the game will start to give infinite loading screens, that can't be fixed by restarting. To fix this, you must go into steam and verify the files.

Overall this is great chaotic game. Tons of fun, just glitchy.

banger. nice short game. remember to go into the local files and turn off fullscreen though, because if you dont you get stuck in the bookshelf lol.
