Free From Stadia, Lost Words' Story Hits Hard - Kotaku

Apr 07, 2021

Lost Words: Beyond the Page is poised to snag a second lease on life.

Between the journal segments you play as the main character of that story, a young girl who looks and sounds suspiciously like Izzy.

At first, Lost Words might look like any other platformer, albeit with some gorgeous, fairy tale-inspired visuals.

As you play, you’ll unlock more magic words, which allow you to solve more puzzles.

Unfortunately, as far as I’ve played, Lost Words doesn’t make the most of it.

So far as I can tell, Lost Words doesn’t boast any Metroidvania elements either.

If you’re looking for a challenging game, Lost Words is not for you.

In terms of moment-to-moment gameplay, Lost Words may be a walk in the park, but it’s by no means an easy game.

Take it from me: If you’ve lost a loved one, or had to comfort someone who’s lost a loved one, Lost Words will hit you where it hurts.
