What players say

Players compare Oscura: Lost Light to Limbo but say it is shorter and easier, with generous checkpoints that turn brutal in the final level. The four-gem power mechanic adds variety, but many find the game slippery, glitchy, and forgettable. Players are split on the music and art: some call them passable, others awful.
