Lempo Reviews

An interesting exploration puzzle game that dips into Finnish mythology. It gave me SCP and Control vibes, while not being a carbon copy of either. The puzzles are challenging but fair, with most of them either having the clue to a solution nearby or in readily-accessible documents, or taking a small bit of challenge to work out. I enjoyed the fact that enemies were present but not constant, but a handful of chase sequences punctuated by more passive, static enemies that were easy to avoid once you knew what you were looking for. Other reviews mention the constantly draining health/vitality stat. To be brutally honest, the accessibility of items to refill vitality is pretty fair if you explore well and you pay attention to your surroundings. There were a couple of points where I had to make careful choices about rationing my consumables, but within a short period of time I had refilled my stocks and was off again, so the pressure from the draining stat was more flavour than actual concern. Do recommend playing with a Finnish friend alongside if you have one. The ability to have on-the-fly translations and explanations of terms and names is a great enhancement.
