I wish there were more games like this. This is a game for people who like logic puzzles, taking notes, and reviewing things from all angles. The fact that this is seamlessly woven in the story made me unable to put it down. Only a few of the puzzles seemed a bit unfair, with elements being distractions and irrelevant to the solution. Only other criticism is that I wish there were dedicated Back and Menu buttons. The one handed control setup is great and would still work with these added buttons. Great game to play one handed while petting your dog.
Un joc **** trencaclosques que un cop resolts creuràs que ets Deu.L' estètica i la narrativa originals i ben executat en tot moment,amb algunes parts del joc pixelades i un so i unes músiques que et farà estar en tensió en tot **** la meva part es una gran recomenació,però si no t' agrada aquest tipus de jocs no ho intentis
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is magnificently crafted, oozing with detail, love, and care. What it does amazingly is give you all the tools you need to figure out this mystery within the hotel.
This is one of those games that I’ll think about even after I finish it. As of the time of writing, I still have quite a few mysteries to uncover, as there are some puzzles that just well and truly stumped me. The world it presents is a cryptic one, reminding me of old conspiracy theories from before my time, but it keeps you coming back for more, hankering to pull back the curtains and unlock the doors to discover the secrets behind them.
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a new success for the creators of Sayonara Wild Hearts. This narrative mystery adventure catches you at the first opportunity and forces you to leave your comfort zone to face all kinds of puzzles full of imagination.
A gloriously surreal third person puzzle game, set in a hotel where everything from its rooms to its artwork is part of a multi-layered mystery of time travel, mazes, and the occult.
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes fails to capture its intended mystery-filled story because of having to headbutt against puzzles non-stop and some glaring control issues.
Cool as hell, challenging and inventive, love the style and the general vibes and spookiness of the hotel you get to explore. i will admit to feeling a little overwhelmed when I saw what the full scope and breadth of the final puzzle would entail and that's why I did not beat it. But definitely one of my favorites from this year.
Let's say it first : "Lorelei and LL" is brilliant in its aesthetic, and in the feeling of mystery it carries. I get it. The atmosphere is unique - and will not suit everyone, but will be amazing to some others. Some of the puzzles are one of the most brilliant ever seen - especially the ones that revolves around "gaming itself." and the most global ones.
Yet, i don't get how people can give it a nearly perfect score. The control scheme is utterly annoying and frustrating.. Moreover, while some puzzles are brilliants, some others are just tedious. And last but not least, most of them are only about converting digits into symbols. It's the same old translating process over and over, again and again. It's sometimes well executed, it has some meta meaning, ok. But it's nowhere close to be a GOTY containder.
So all in all, ok, play it, it's lovely, it has brilliant moments, and sometimes it's very rewarding. But be also prepared to encounter teeth-gritting stuff. If you are used to "escape rooms" games and logic puzzles, you'll see a lot of stuff you already know. And repetitive shit. That does not make it a bad game, again it's GREAT, but it is certainly not "a masterpiece close to perfection". Only a good and haunting game, which is already more than we can ask for.
SummaryThe stage is set. Imagine an old baroque manor, perhaps a hotel or a museum, somewhere in central Europe. A woman wanders in search of answers.
An international auteur. What does he want?
An aristocratic artist. Who killed her?
A vagabond illusionist. Who is he?
And you, the wandering woman. Why are you here?
Watch carefully, observe...
