Critic Reviews
Paradise Lost Review
Paradise Lost fails to take full advantage of its gripping premise and the haunting atmosphere of its setting.
50%Paradise Lost Review (PS4)
Paradise Lost is a nice effort, that ultimately feels somewhat incomplete. There is a big build-up, but the excitement fades along the way and the predictable ending is far from the scope you would expect based on the grand prologue. The big conspiracy fades away and leaves in its place a human tragedy. The storytelling that wanted to achieve more got lost in its ambitions and ended up being mundane. It is trying too hard to be meaningful and deep, the result being just another cliché. Paradise Lost is a story worth exploring once, the alternative ending targeting those who were roped in by the story and the character development of Szymon. Sadly, there won’t be too many, because despite the strong start, the magic fades and ultimately Paradise Lost proves to be a walking simulator that could have been very interesting in theory, but actually it is just conventional and flat.

Despite an intriguing alternate universe and a decent story, Paradise Lost fails to reach its potential due to poor voice acting and tedious gameplay.
