Lucius is a third person horror adventure game that mixes exploration, puzzle solving, and a dark story driven experience. In this game, you actually play as the devil’s child yourself, and that twist is what makes it really interesting. If you’re looking for a short but creepy game with a villain protagonist, this one is worth playing but I definitely don’t recommend buying parts 2 or 3. 5/10

Bought this game in 2019 after getting a hit of nostalgia from rewatching PewDiePie play this. Still holds up great and is fun to play

March 2025

Playing the role of Lucius, a six-year-old boy endowed with supernatural abilities, who is tasked with orchestrating deadly "accidents" within his family's mansion is fun. 20 & 40 Hour achievements are a pain, game can be finished in about 3 to 4 hours. 7.5/10

Feb. 2025

it is alright. sometimes it is fun to figure out how to complete the chapter. sometimes it is glitchy and/or overly difficult to complete (especially the last few chapters).

Feb. 2025

from when I originally watched PewDiePie play this as a kid I have come full circle and have finally been able to experience the game for myself, while its age shows i do think its held up quite well. it has been a teeny bit buggy but for the most part I really only struggled once I hit chapter 9 because the game would just break on me and it got quite frustrating. after stepping away for a bit I came back with the patience needed and was able to finally finish the game. I would absolutely recommend this game to anyone, it is entertaining and satisfying to play as this evil spawn of Lucifer. onto the next game, !
