Players enjoy the twisted premise of playing as a demonic child causing household accidents. [1][2][3] Some players criticize the game for being buggy, with poor puzzles and trial-and-error gameplay. [4][5][6]

⭐ Overall Rating: 3/10 It's a pretty bad game. Extremely scripted and oh so so so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boring. You just have to play it out and don't really have much freedom in killing people at will. The game does give you a handful of sorcery abilities, but again, their usages are scripted too. I'll start off with the story. You play as a nefarious, literal spawn of the devil. You don't have any reason to kill people, but you …

Playing as a demonic 6-year-old making household accidents happen to your family members is delightfully twisted and nostalgic. It can be a little janky and trial-and-error heavy with some of the puzzle solutions, but the spooky atmosphere and dark humor totally carry the experience. A great weekend playthrough for horror fans!

This game is about a six year old boy born in a billionaire family committing murders in a creative way to avoid getting caught using his supernatural abilities gifted by the devil himself, that's more than enough information to want to play it.

9/10 Lucius is a horror adventure game where you play a child using supernatural abilities to murder family members within their home. Spooky, gruesome, and slightly outdated. Lucius is a horror adventure game with a slight puzzle mechanic where you play as a small boy seeking out to kill his family within his home using his supernatural powers. Yes, you’re the villain. You do this in a variety of ways, each with …

Critics, per Wikipedia
Lucius received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic. Gaming website GameSpot said "the biggest problem is a lack of information; tips are given [...] but the core aspects of the game are not explained well". In a negative review, Adventure Gamers stated that "much of the writing and voice acting is mediocre at best". RPGFan said in a review that playing the game felt "like testing a gameplay idea rather than a fully finished title".

"Sorry, babe, Pete's got game night." Stede looks lost, panicked, all wide eyed and terrified. Ed does something stupid.

Ed leans across the table towards Lucius. “You engineered all this to make me jealous?” Lucius makes a crunched face. “Not exactly? That was just a bonus.” 91/?

And just like that, Ed shakes himself out of it and gets his game face back on, strolling up to meet them. “A tie,” Lucius says, pointing to the floor. “See?” 5/?

Pete is the one with the collection, Lucius is the one with the skills. Anywhere interesting or if it looks cool, they nick it. Their most daring theft will always be from Spanish Jackie'z.

neutral · AI labelView post →Stede can't remember which secret room he left his glasses in. Lucius threw Stede's bicorn hat overboard. Stede swears he saw it on a Jackie husband. Jack tattooed the hangman game on Ed. Ed once sat through Button's list of sea creatures. Buttons was a seagull at that point. Lots of squawking.

neutral · AI labelView post →2. Canon-era Valentines day one shot about how Stede wants to do a big gesture for his co-captain (without knowing why, much to Lucius' frustration). He gets the crew to make cards, leaving them unsigned as a guessing game for Ed. Lucius uses it as an excuse to put all of Stede's feelings out there.

If I particularly liked or disliked something I played, I usually only care to spread the news to people within my close circle. There's already plenty of reviews out there, after all, and my own opinion is not going to make any meaningful contribution to the ocean of discourse already out there. I have decided to officially break this unspoken rule I've given myself for Lucius,…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lucius is a notable horror game, The main story takes roughly 6 to 8 hours to complete. You play as Lucius, the son of Lucifer, who receives supernatural powers on his sixth birthday and is tasked with eliminating everyone inside Dante Manor. The atmosphere is twisted and macabre, designed to feel like a classic 1970s horror vibe The gameplay involves orchestrating various "accidents" using telekinesis, mind control, and everyday household items to make the family kill them self with mind…
