Tries to be really serious but ends up just being comical instead, i mostly just really dislike the mid 2010's edgy humor. In terms of gameplay tho this is absolutely a fun time, the creative ways you can kill make it get pretty close to being an immersive sim, jank included! Obviously be careful with your purchase, i recommend being patient because sometimes what you want to do doesn't work but these devs certainly tried and i respect that.

Just like the other entries, I did really enjoy this, though it is noticeably weaker than it's predecessor. I struggled with the controls at first and the graphics were not fantastic, but I did get used to both. I still had fun, though. Completing the achievements was a bit frustrating at times though

Funniest game ever and super underrated, it is buggy but in a hilarious way that isn’t game breaking 10/10

Sept. 2024

While the first Lucius game was focusing on gore visuals and the Demake prioritize storytelling, Lucius 2 lacks of them slightly, but instead we finally have an actual game to play. It is all about planning your murders and they are many ways to do it. Because of that, the game has actual replay value. There is a lot of bugs and the controls are something to get used to, but around the half of the game (after 6-7 hours) I was so good with them, the levels became super easy. For the second playtrough I finished Chapter 1 like in a hour and only the civils near the reception on the ground floor was still alive. This is the hardest part of the game in my opinion. So far as Lucius games go, this is the best, because it is an actual game, even with it´s bugs. I think the First Lucius is more movie like. They overused slowmos in the first and even ruined the tension in the ending for me, but in Lucius 2 it used very well (Only one level has a bug wich triggers slowmo many time). New game+ buggy too, I used save editor to save my skill points, but some of the inventory items remains. Try it out at least, but be prepared to get use to it´s control. I hope Lucius 3 follows this reciept or using it even better and make it less buggy. I´am about to play it too. 2 things only I don´t like about Lucius 2: - Point system for a single player game and i´am sure it´s calculating is buggy too. Developing it was a pure waste of time, but I´am really happy, that there is no multiplayer. - Story. It is my biggest problem. It start with the worst intro possible, but it escalates in the end to acceptable and cliffhanging for the third game. First of all... Lucius wishpers (he never talks or talked before and never does again). With that he turns into somebody into Lucifers minion and gay. Than the intro says Lucius lost his powers and have to get them back. + In the first game before the second killing he was able to lifting up a whole piano, now he can´t pick up a big bottle or an axe (like 3-5 kg, while pianos are like hundres of Kg?), but... + ...In Lucius 2 he can mind control, (can be even the first skill to unlock) but he never did that before. I don´t know magic, but isn´t mind-control a far more complex thing to master, than using powers to move heavier stuff for you? And he loses his powers, because sitting in a hospital for long time, while in the first game he killed one poeple per 1-2 month for gaining power? Shouldn´t be more realistic (according to the first game, not IRL), that Lucius left kinda weak the mansion, (In Lucius 2 he does a lot murder and slightly become stronger by them, so after the priests attacking him in the first game, it is possible to be weaken) than the detective brings him into the hospital, where Lucius had coma or something (this is where the tutorial level can starts) and he after wakes up, they bring the nun there when they realize he really never talks and than he not attacks the nun like an idiot (like in the intro), but made her insane somehow. Like turning a cross with telekinesis or anything supernatural. It would make her death more ironic too, putting end for her nightmares and would be more Licius like, silent, but smart move. Than after that the doctor sees the reaction of the nun, he/she orders the shock therapy. Game starts. While all of that happens, the detective looks into occult stuff, because he feels something still not right with the paranormal things that happened in the mansion. He even makes a ritual after weeks, than there is your d***s***ing scene with Lucifer. Just an example of course, but the actual intro is very unlogical and was a very bad sing for me. Lucius never talks, just kills and both game was able building up a personality of a silent jigsaw-solving person, who does his plans while nobody watching and nobody ever notice anything. A very cold child who makes everyone mad if left alive and that madness is really Lucius´s power. I absolutely recommend Lucius 2 to play if you are interested any way in this saga and you have patience for bugs.
