Love this game, i keep going back to it and re installing. have the cd version too. must have play it 10 times.
great story, good gameplay and fantastic music.
this was my first childhood game in 1995. Graphics are awful, but the soundtrack still haunts me to this day. i remember having the CD-ROM of this when we first bought it and the OS was Windows 95. It was great to see this one on steam and then revisit my childhood. Highly recommend to play through.... Great Game for what it was in the day.
I feel like this game doesn't get the amount of recognition it deserves. It's a fun game. Plenty easy to play(Especially if you know what to do), and the story and setting are both equally engaging. Admittedly, I got a little stuck at Cantura at first, but that was only because I've still yet to find all the Triceratops herds up to that point. Once I did, the game kept going like I wanted it to. If you haven't played this game yet, you should. It's a great little reminder of strategy games in the 90s.
I played this game when I was a kid, but still this is one of the greatest games. I really loved to dive into it's emersing and al the more relevant story.
Lost Eden to me (and most other people reviewing it, it seems) a classic we've played when it just came out. I recently replayed this game and made a review about it. If you're interested to see gameplay: https://youtu.be/MFh4-IOxpBA
This is a fun and original little game from the mid-nineties, I first heard of it through hearing Stéphane Picq's epic main theme for the game, which hits you from the very first scene and really gets you pumped for this prehistoric adventure. The rest of the game's music is pretty good too, but nothing is quite so memorable.
The gameplay is standard for the era, this is not really a point-and-click adventure, which is both good and bad: you might prefer some harder puzzles, but on the other hand there's no pixel-hunting or annoying sudden deaths. The only real danger in the game, in fact, comes from lingering too long if you bump into the Tyrann, your Tyrannosauroid foes. Simply ride like the wind if you see them and you'll be fine. If you get stuck on a puzzle, you have an item that gives you a hint, which is nice and cuts down the need for guides.
All dialogue and cutscenes can be skipped if you want, though the voice-acting and graphics have a lot of retro charm. The design of the human tribes is very interesting - I loved the bizarre and creepy-sounding Castra, for example. The Tamnians on the other hand were unsettling in a bad way, leaning a little too heavily on the stereotype of the stupid, subhuman savage for my tastes. That was pretty much my only complaint with the game however.
It's a short game, I beat it in five and a half hours. Best get it on sale if you want it since the full price is a bit much for a game from this era. Still, it's fun for what it is.
Edit: Docked a notch for a strangely abrupt and anticlimactic ending. Where's the scene of all the dinos and humans partying in the forest after the war is over? Man, they missed a trick there.
I first played this game as a kid on the Philips CD-i. At that time it took me ages and ages to figure everything out. Now as an adult it was kinda easy but really nostalgic. I spend 7€ on this game and even tough I finished the game in around 5 hours I feel like it was well spend.
Would not reccomend to buy for full price, better to wait for a sale.
My very first video game and the first one I completed, so this brings back a LOT of fond memories. But, while I love this game I have to be critical. The first part of the game (after leaving the citadel) is incredibly redundant, while the second half is pretty much all over the place.
Another problem is there is a little too much hand holding and not enough of you figuring things out for yourself, so in this sense it is a very safe game.
But despite these flaws (and a few others I forgot to mention) there are several good points:
1: The characters are fleshed out nicely and they each have their own interesting backstory
2: The whole uniting of dinosaurs and man tribes is an interesting concept, although a little cliche
3: And finally, the music is by far the best I have ever heard in any game with the possible exception of Ocarina of Time. Excellent props to the composer, Stephane Picq.
As a kid, I had played many videogames before this one. But it was Lost Eden that really got me to develop my love for strange, mysterious games and non-traditional fantasy worlds. The music and art manage to walk the fine line between unsettling and beautiful. The gameplay is a that of a fairly straightforward adventure game, with a very light smattering of RTS sauce. You'll mostly play it for the story, but there is joy in figuring out how this weird world operates by consulting your party members and wandering around. As you get more familiar with the different dinosaur species, where they roam around, which items they enjoy or hate, and what use they can serve, you'll find yourself more and more immersed in the game's prehistoric fantasy landscape.
If you enjoy Lost Eden, I can also heartily recommend Cryo's earlier title 'Dune', which leans much heavier into being an RTS as well as an adventure game, and continues Cryo's penchant for beautifully unique music and art.
I suppose Lost Eden was an adventure game marvel back in '95, but playing it now and having loads upon loads of other adventure games to compare it against Lost Eden feels pretty bland. While the story of the game is quite unique and shows dinosaurs and humans living and working together, the gameplay itself is very repetitive. There are a few locations which are supposedly under oppression and it's your job to liberate them. I won't spoil how that's done but let's just say you have to find the same resources and repeat the same actions in each one of them. At that point Lost Eden becomes a bit of a grind and feels like the story, a.k.a the core of this game falls somewhere behind the scenes and only becomes a bit more interesting towards the end. I think it deserves a thumbs up for the creative world-building, but if there's no nostalgia in your heart towards this game, chances are you won't think of it as very good.
Oh, man, I loved this game when I was younger. I never expected to find it again. Installed last night and finished this morning. Sad- I remembered it being so much longer. Anyway, it is such a wonderful story, about cooperation, acceptance, bravery (and cowardice), strength, and humility.
I will add a warning for fellow Christians: there is magic- no overt witchcraft, but heavy use of talismans- as well as a journey to the land of the dead and the idea that dinosaurs have souls. Evolution is not mentioned in the game, but the ending does imply at least some form of theistic evolution. These may be things to consider if you are bothered by them.
But overall, the lessons taught and the magnificence of the story- particularly the true identity of the enemy- are quite wonderful, and if you have no issues with the things I just mentioned, you will surely enjoy this game. The story flows smoothly and usually there is little to no difficulty in determining where to go or what to do. There are plenty of options for in-game hints if you get stuck (I've won the game twice in my life, without using walkthrus or help from other players). Also, I found no glitches aside from some difficulty closing the out the game after you die (I had to hit the Windows key and right-click the icon on the taskbar to close).
One thing to bear in mind: this was a DOS game made in '95. The graphics and sound quality are much to be expected for the time. However, the music and voice acting are really very good.
Such a classic. The worldbuilding is incredible, the gameplay is fun, the characters are great and memorable. Things get a bit repetitive in the middle, but I don't think that counts against the experience too much. If you want a game that exemplary of the DOS era then this one is it.
I had fond memories of Lost Eden from it's initial release in 1995 and it was a treat to replay it! Granted, the graphics are dated, but I hope people can appreciate just how good the animations and world building are in this story for a game over 25 years old.
The voice acting, music and story really hold up and whilst it does cling to old fantasy tropes in places, in others it's very forward thinking for its time. Had a blast replaying this. You could do worse with 3 or 4 hours of your life!
My favorite CD-i game. This game has aged but is still a masterpiece. Great story, adventure, and music. <3 the 90s.
It is great to be able to replay this on my old Linux laptop.
This game... I was only a fledgling when I played this game with a nephew on the CD-I (Philips) back at my grandpa's house.
We all grown up now and grandpa is long gone, but at least this game remains a tangible memory from times when the sun always seemed to shine. It was much easier then I remembered, I must have been gotten better at games.
Such a good game. I remember playing this about 15 years ago and always loved it but could not beat it back then because the puzzles were too complicated for my kid brain then haha. Playing this again now(so glad they had it on Steam!) brought back so many fond memories. The soundtrack, voices and gameplay are just pure nostalgia. I definitley reccommend this to anyone who is a fan of 90's PC games that require a bit of puzzle work and trial and error.
Finding this on steam is a dream come true, this is my childhood in a game, a simple point and click adventure but well worth a go.
buy this game! its not a long game but the story is good and well voiced throughout, and the soundtrack is great! certainly sets the scenes up well. ENJOY! i will again and again
This is for nostalgia, really.
I stumbled on this game in 1996, and while my native language is not german, the version I played was. I loved everymoment of it.
The game holds true to its technolocy for the time and runs well in todays hardware (WIndows 10 with a HD TV hooked as monitor), I had to set the "-fullscreen" launch option or otherwise it just stayed windowed which is annoying, but you only needl configure it once.
That issue aside the graphics, music and voice overs are there, sadly no german voice overs in this Steam version, now that I played the game in english for the first time I can safely say the voice overs in german were superior for some key characters, such as the villan, I still have the original box and CD in german and I do play this game every 3 years or so, the narrative is imprinted on my mind after so many play sessions over my life. I could be tainted with nostalgia which should also be considered in this review.
All in all, its not a challenging game and it can be beating in 3-6 hours, less even if you skip videos and some chatter, which I never do.
If you liked it, or missed and want to check it out, go ahead! English, Italian, Spanish are available as languages.
Cheers!
Have been waiting for its release on Steam for so many years.....finally it has arrived! One of my favourite classic PC game of all time~ the mesmerizing soundtrack and surrealist graphics are simply amazing even till this day. Highly recommended to fans of classic point 'n click adventure game! :)
This was a real nostalgia trip for me, and I was happy to see this game again on steam.
The graphics were great for its time, and the soundtrack still does a good job at setting the mood. I don't remember fully voiced games being very common in the mid-90s either.
By todays standards, the game doesn't take long to complete, and though the setting is interesting, it's not as fleshed out as I remember it. It's a 20 year old game, and though it shows, I feel that it is a unique game that has aged reasonably well.
If you're interested in games from this period, then this game is a relaxing experience that I can recommend.
Lost Eden on Steam, I never thought I'd see the day.
This is a nice game overall, it has a decent plot and an absolutely amazing soundtrack!
