What people are saying

The Real Review

Lucid is a gorgeous-looking pixel art platformer where absorbing powers feels great, but that's about all people can agree on. The core movement and combat landed for most, though a vocal few slammed the difficulty as punishing and called out some performance issues. Overall, reactions are heavily mixed, with many players enjoying the gameplay loop but feeling the full experience doesn't quite justify its price.
