The WhatsNext verdict

Lost Eden is a lavish, haunting multimedia adventure whose music and impossible dinosaur-fantasy world do nearly all the heavy lifting. Play it for the atmosphere and historical weirdness, not for demanding puzzles or meaningful strategy.

What it does best

  • A soundtrack that carries it

  • A look you cannot mistake

  • Atmosphere you can drown in

  • A mix that should not work

What might put you off

  • Repetitive, overly simple progression

  • Long dialogue and uneven storytelling

The setup

What you are walking into

Soon they will swarm in, destroy everything and kill your people. However, there is a single hope. There are legends telling that several hundreds of years ago, men and dinosaurs cooperated to build 5 mighty Citadels that were almost invulnerable to the Tyranns. Today, all the Citadels but one have been destroyed.
