Lost in Random Reviews
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 all about randomness, and while that idea doesn't go far enough in some cases, the game is still a great coming-of-age tale with tons of laughs and tension.
Lost in Random is like a storybook come to life, but that isn't enough to carry it above its struggles.
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.

Charming and often fun, Lost in Random has less going on than I would have liked, even if I had a good time overall.
Coherent Tim Burton looks, a fresh combat system and great characters can't quite hide the lack of variety.

Gothic fairytale stylings and unique mish-mash of systems come together into yet another great example of Zoink's boundless creativity and game design chops. Fans of Burton-esque worlds and tabletop tropes would do well to get Lost in Random.
Lost in Random does practically everything well, it tells us an interesting and original story that mixes with a gameplay and an innovative combat system risking in everything and winning in almost everything. This is a game to take into account of the most interesting and fun.

Lost in Random depicts a stunningly unique and eccentric world filled to the brim with character and personality. The Tim-Burton visuals and the kooky cast of characters you’ll meet in each distinctively different region means there’s never a dull moment to this journey. Clever strategy card elements help to mask the game’s rather unremarkable real-time combat, with some control issues that hurt the overall experience. Yet despite its flaws, Lost in Random still brings the goods and had me engaged from unlucky start to triumphantly random end.
Lost in Random is a title of adventure and brave action, which constantly seeks its own form of expression as far as the action is concerned, and that along the way accumulates many successes and some other but. It presents a dark and interesting universe, which constantly flirts with humor and children's terror, achieving a tone that will delight fantasy lovers. He compensates for his lack of finesse in combat with the riskiness of his proposal and with some dialogues that will bring you more than a smile.

While Lost in Random could certainly have benefitted from more variety and depth, the overall experience is more than saved by its dense assortment of creative elements.
A great little game, a bizarre adventure, imbued with friendship, with a Gothic-Burtonian flavor. Some defects son of its independent nature, well masked by the narration and some visual findings.

Full disclosure, up front I’ll admit that I’ve always tended to be fond of games from the Zoink crew, in particular finding their off-beat sense of humor to be great fun...
Even with that gripe, Lost in Random just does so much right that it doesn't even really matter. I wouldn't trade my experience in the game for anything, and I'd be willing to get lost in the world of Random all-over gain. If you're on the fence, trust me: just roll the dice and jump on in, because you won't regret it.
An adventure with cool combat and a wonderful, wacky world. Doesn't shake things up as much as you might expect, but it's still a fun journey nonetheless.
A dark and comical action adventure with excellent combat mechanics, sharp writing, and a memorable cast of characters.
Lost in Random is a beautiful Burton-esque fantasy that comes close to evoking the same levels of craft and character as its obvious inspirations. It doesn't quite sustain the wonder from start to finish, but it remains an easy recommendation.
Lost In Random imagines a dark fairy tale that feels immediately timeless, even if some other aspects of the game won't age as well.
A Tim Burton-style story that is worth playing. One of the titles of 2021, EA Originals continues to surprise

If you’re willing to overlook the bloated combat, you’ll find a lot to love in this macabre adventure about the bond between sisters.
