A daunting game start to finish. Although I bought all three games in the franchise, I can't say that the sequel made as big of an impression to me as the first game.
In this franchise, you are the devil's son, and like the devil's son you will act, wrecking havoc and creating despair within the manor in which you reside. The kills feel like they have weight to them; people will react, fear will rise, and unlike the sequel (haven't gotten around to Lucius 3, so can't comment on that one yet) your actions will have consequences. The story is fitting for a game of this caliber, nothing too extreme.
The music is chilling, but never too in-your-face. I've read somewhere that the game's graphics designer produced some of my personal favourite tracks for no extra cost (e.g. Devil's Fairground) because the team was running short on budget, but needed more music, which I find really really cool and creative of them.
The animations and controls are Lucius' weaker points. This game attempts to touch on taboo topics in cold and unforgiving ways, but oftentimes fails to visualise it properly because of the weird lighting, choppy animations, or outright goofy bugs happening quite often during gameplay. But even still, I wouldn't say that those are reasons not to try the game if you're interested.
Overall the first game definitely has a story to tell, and is certainly worth trying out. The atmosphere can reel the player in right from the start, I found myself binging this game up until late at night to figure out what the next step is gonna be, or how the story and characters will unfold next.
I wish the sequel carried this energy or expanded on it. Amazing work to the team!

The hints in this game are more vague than your boss telling you to do something at work. You're a possessed child who is tasked with "sacrificing" (murdering) your entire family. But not just the family oh no, you gotta kill the house staff too. If you enjoyed L.A. Noire or Mafia Remastered you're going to love this title just as much. It is as visually appealing as anything made in 2012 (not very good) but it makes up for it with the story. What's the story of you killing your entire family with demonic powers? None, none whatsoever. The kid isn't even after the massive inheritance. Solid 8/10 game

Game is okay ending sucked. Mainly saying no because of the 20 and 40 hours achievements. I ended up getting every other achievement around 6.2 hours :/

I remembered watching UberHaxorNova play this game on a stream maybe 10+ years ago, so I was excited to try it out for myself. Sadly, the game hasn't received support to run on current Windows OS, so your only option is to try to work around it with the online guides that other people have made. However, none of them worked for me, and I was stuck with a game that crashed immediately after the intro cut scene every single time. Maybe one day we'll get an updated HD remake that actually works without having to seek out external solutions.
