What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
And you don't really learn much by playing: besides some cute and funny dialog, the story is really of no consequence and shouldn't be a reason to grab the game.
- Sprites are vivacious with fluid animations, pixel art is beautifully designed with vibrant colors, and environments are polychromatic with impressive lighting effects.
Despite poor difficulty pacing, Lost Ruins is a cute romp through a really nicely made world with a great simplistic soundtrack and intense bosses.
This game plays incredible on the Steam Deck.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
