Lucius

released on Oct 26, 2012

“Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the Beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” - Revelation 13:18 When little Lucius was born on the devilishly significant date of June 6th, 1966, no one expected him to be anything other than a normal little boy. His childhood, spent in a luxurious manor, was as normal as every kid’s childhood years - well, except for the extreme wealth of his parents, as Lucius grew up with everything he desired and more. Everything went to Hell, in a manner of speaking, when Lucius turned 6. The Devil, who is his real father, manifests himself in his dreams the night before his birthday revealing to Lucius his true heritage. It’s up to Lucius to bring Hell on Earth using any and all means necessary. Orchestrate deadly accidents, using items, tools, and hell’s powers such as telekinesis and mind control. By combining classic adventure gameplay with the freedom and openness of a 3D world, you’ll have to use your wits and ensure no one knows of your fiendish mission until it’s too late!

Half a star for Lucius himself being pretty fucking cool but that's cancelled out instantly by the constant bigotry. The black guy gets the most brutal and detailed death. A maid is consistently referred to as "the latina maid". A fat woman is constantly demanding more food. You take photos of a maid getting fucked doggystyle. You peep on that same maid in the bath later on. Also, every single woman just has her panties sitting somewhere and you can pick them up. Why? No fucking reason! It genuinely reminded me of the Half-Life 2 Cinematic Mod and how Alyx just has a giant dildo on display in that. The cutscenes are just horrid too and the puzzles could be solved by a fetus that's still attached to the umbilical cord. Despite being as simple as it is, it manages to also be buggy as all hell. They decided to have some combat in this and yeah its about as dull as you'd expect. I wanted to check out the sequels because, again, I think Lucius himself is really fucking cool. Then I read about how the third game has KKK members lynching a black man and yeah, that's where I check the fuck out. Fuck this series.

Comprei o jogo em 2013 e só lembrei de jogá-lo agora. Uma criança fazendo missões para o próprio Cramunhão e cometendo assassinatos em sua mansão? Nada mais empolgante que essa premissa, não é? Todavia, Lucius deixa bastante a desejar: a trilha sonora é terrível, como se estivesse em replay; a jogabilidade é fraquíssima; os personagens são totalmente rasos e nem dá para se empolgar com as mortes deles; as dicas para fazer as armadilhas são drasticamente resumidas, fazendo você andar em círculos por muitos minutos; a AI do jogo é ridícula, porém você consegue se aproveitar disso e adiantar vários capítulos sem dificuldades. E o que é legal? Bom, a premissa e as mortes em si são bem criativas. Mas Lucius é "longo" porque envelheceu terrivelmente mal.

a silly story and full of bugs but i still enjoyed it

This game is buggy and crashes from time to time, but it's still playable until the end. The little brat we play has some satanic powers so that's cool, these powers are useful to kill the members and friends of his family, one by one.

I recommend buying this game only during sales.

Lucius is a horror game where the son of a rich family (no puns intended) suddenly becomes psychotic and starts killing everyone in the house. It actually follows the story of a young boy who apparently made a pact with the devil (or so it seems). The main goal of the game is to basically kill people in different ways.
I think what makes this game stand out are the visuals, to be honest. It's not that this game has the best technology in the world or close to it but the design is good and the gameplay can be really fun.
