My GOTY for this year. This game presents itself like a noir film with mysterious characters and refined aesthetics, but as you may know, you can't judge a book by it's cover, and Lorelei and The Laser Eyes just keep surprising you from the beginning till the very end. The puzzles are on point and perfectly distributed; they can be hard for people who usually doesn't play this type of games, but the game doesn't require to solve them in a order, so you can shift and try later, which in most of the cases work, plus you'll fell like a true genius after solving them, it's very satisfying. If you feel that you could like this game, just play it, it will be all worthy.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is magnificently crafted, oozing with detail, love, and care. What it does amazingly is give you all the tools you need to figure out this mystery within the hotel.
This is one of those games that I’ll think about even after I finish it. As of the time of writing, I still have quite a few mysteries to uncover, as there are some puzzles that just well and truly stumped me. The world it presents is a cryptic one, reminding me of old conspiracy theories from before my time, but it keeps you coming back for more, hankering to pull back the curtains and unlock the doors to discover the secrets behind them.
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a new success for the creators of Sayonara Wild Hearts. This narrative mystery adventure catches you at the first opportunity and forces you to leave your comfort zone to face all kinds of puzzles full of imagination.
A gloriously surreal third person puzzle game, set in a hotel where everything from its rooms to its artwork is part of a multi-layered mystery of time travel, mazes, and the occult.
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes fails to capture its intended mystery-filled story because of having to headbutt against puzzles non-stop and some glaring control issues.
I wish there were more games like this. This is a game for people who like logic puzzles, taking notes, and reviewing things from all angles. The fact that this is seamlessly woven in the story made me unable to put it down. Only a few of the puzzles seemed a bit unfair, with elements being distractions and irrelevant to the solution. Only other criticism is that I wish there were dedicated Back and Menu buttons. The one handed control setup is great and would still work with these added buttons. Great game to play one handed while petting your dog.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a puzzle design masterpiece. If you're a 90's kid, and you're used to having a paper and a pen by your side when playing puzzle games, you would most likely have a brilliant time! There were so many times when I stared at the puzzle in front of me for a while not having a clue, until I reached that sweet Eureka moment and felt wonderful about cracking the puzzle. To me Lorelei and the Laser Eyes felt like a tasteful strong puzzle cocktail, and I loved it.

Let's say it first : "Lorelei and LL" is brilliant in its aesthetic, and in the feeling of mystery it carries. I get it. The atmosphere is unique - and will not suit everyone, but will be amazing to some others. Some of the puzzles are one of the most brilliant ever seen - especially the ones that revolves around "gaming itself." and the most global ones.
Yet, i don't get how people can give it a nearly perfect score. The control scheme is utterly annoying and frustrating.. Moreover, while some puzzles are brilliants, some others are just tedious. And last but not least, most of them are only about converting digits into symbols. It's the same old translating process over and over, again and again. It's sometimes well executed, it has some meta meaning, ok. But it's nowhere close to be a GOTY containder.
So all in all, ok, play it, it's lovely, it has brilliant moments, and sometimes it's very rewarding. But be also prepared to encounter teeth-gritting stuff. If you are used to "escape rooms" games and logic puzzles, you'll see a lot of stuff you already know. And repetitive ****. That does not make it a bad game, again it's GREAT, but it is certainly not "a masterpiece close to perfection". Only a good and haunting game, which is already more than we can ask for.

I was enjoying the game up until the 50% completion mark, roughly 25 hours in, but then the game devolves into a series of ****, unfun, sometimes headache inducing mazes. It's just not dreadful.
Additionally the design choices which in the early game are annoying at first, begin to /actively/ punish the player and inconvenience them with no other reason than, "Haha f*** you" in the late game.
All my good will from the first impressions with the game has been drained away as the end game approaches and the level of player inconvenience and **** ramps up. Really frustrating.

Summary The stage is set. Imagine an old baroque manor, perhaps a hotel or a museum, somewhere in central Europe. A woman wanders in search of answers. An international auteur. What does he want? An aristocratic artist. Who killed her? A vagabond illusionist. Who is he? And you, the wandering woman. Why are you here? Watch carefully, observe...
