    However all of these facets don't change the fact that Lux-Pain is nearly impossible to recommend. While it succeeds rather surprisingly on almost every technical level it's still a hard sell due to the translation. When dealing with a medium that is almost entirely focused on the words you're reading it's important that those words make sense. If this was an RPG back in the SNES days where you spent 30+ hours fighting enemies and only about an hour on story then it... Read more

    If you are as big a fan of "weird for the sake of being weird" as I am, Lux Pain might be worth a look.

Lux Pain is really only suitable for gamers who are flat-out tired of stuff that makes sense, plots that can be followed and games that can be honest-to-goodness enjoyed. If I had purchased Lux Pain at full price, I might have been very, very angry. I got it for the... Read more

    In the end, the experience isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. The pacing, bad translation, and lack of interaction bring Lux-Pain down quite a few notches and pretty much make it one of those very niche titles that a select group of people rave about, but only rave about it when you actually stick through it. Most other gamers will avoid this game and rightfully so due to the many flaws it has, which in the end make the overall experience not as enjoyable as it... Read more
