This is a terrible game. The basic premise of murdering people and sending their souls to Satan isn't bad (if ripped off from The Omen), but the games completely falls apart when it comes to execution. There is no proper save function. The game has autosaves only (and doesn't tell you when it makes one), so when you end the game in the middle of a chapter, all progress is gone. If you get caught, all progress is gone and you are forced to sit through cut scenes and loading screens again. This is mainly done to artificially lengthen the short time you will need to complete the game (about an afternoon). The controls are terrible. You character gets in the way of the items you want to grab most of the time. The mouse sensitivity is too high (even on the lowest setting), sending the camera spinning and making using items a chore. Your character is controlled by with WASD controls yet the item menu uses arrow keys. Whenever you select a power, you can do basic interactions. Altogether, the game uses no less than sixteen keys, mouse buttons not included, which is just ridiculous. In case you still consider buying Lucius, be aware that it also has stiff and cheap looking characters (especially when they are holding an item), mediocre dialogue, subtitles that can't be turned off, glitches that caused me to get stuck in a wall (forcing me to restart the entire chapter!), broken stealth mechanics, boss fights in a game clearly not made for them plus boring fetch quests.
