The Escapist Review: Lucidity
Say what you will about LucasArts – the company that fired its best game designers in the late ’90s, milked the Star Wars franchise until its udders went dry and to this day refuses to re-release Grim Fandango on Steam – but at least they’re taking some risks. Alongside their resurrection of the beloved Monkey Island series, they’ve just released a game that drastically departs from their previous output. Lucidity is gorgeous, surreal, contemplative – everything that The Force Unleashed was not. Unfortunately, it’s just not very good.
