Recensioni di Lovecraft's Untold Stories

I've played the game for a bit and at first seemed cool then I've encountered so much bullshit that made me hate the game. Really wanted to like the game but the bad experience outweights the good parts

This Lovecraft inspired roguelike is truly a hidden gem. I wouldn't even call it Lovecraft inspired as I feel it is the most respectful and detailed representation of Lovecraft's writing I have found in a game. The lore is incredibly rich and true to the original, and beautifully written. It's always a pleasure to find game developers who take their time to add in researched, well written dialogues and descriptions, without forgetting the gameplay. That's one of the things that struck me the most, as well as the sheer quantity of game content. You have so many different settings and enemies, as well as 5 characters each with a gameplay style that differs considerably from the others. Each of these characters has a different storyline, which also gives them different personalities and ways they react to events and their surroundings. That was a pleasure to see. I appreciated the fact that despite being a roguelike, your run doesn't have to end completely if you die. You instead restart the stage, which is very fair considering this is not an easy game, especially on the Hard difficulty. You also get to keep and store items, so that you may use them in future runs. All in all a very fun game, full to the brim with Lovecraft's mythos. Like someone else already mentioned, the game will be even better going in with some knowledge of Lovecraft, as the game sometimes might assume you already know some of it.
