I loved the big mansion of the first one and wished the characters had even more meaning and story. The game to me seemed like a nice mix of horror (like Omen) and mistery film (somehow always remembering me of movies like Murder, She said )

[AliceMisaki]

First for sure.

I would say the first.
1. was a good puzzle type game with an interesting story.
2. got boring very quickly
3. crashes all the time

Edit, 3 seems stable now ish. One crash since, it seems my at the time network instability was causing issues for some unknown reason. Not saying the game is at fault it may have cause some issue with windows itself.
Edit Edit, after messing with my home network again, Lucius played through fine.
The game was never at fault as such, but it is just an example of how a completely unrelated thing can affect a game because of something happening in the background.

3 is my favourite, too bad it's so glitchy. I still had tons of fun exploring the town and all of it's interiors and secrets.

1st, without a doubt.

Demake was mine.
The final 4 kills are all sort of "boss" fights with slightly different mechanics and I found it to be a excellent way to end the game. The whole game is sold, but the ending is superb.

Also there are scenes where the NPCs will walk into a room and because they're in bit form, they look way too serious so it ends up being unintentionally comedic. Especially after playing the 1st game with how serious the subject matter is, it just across as funny to me. Honestly I'm super happy they decided to do Demake. It's probably one of the top 20 purchases I've made on this platform.

The Demake was great. Very faithful adaptation. Plays great, nice atmosphere and no bugs or issues for me! Rock solid game. On top of that it is also usually very cheap to buy.

idk, 1st is fine, but i couldn't finish it without guide, maybe russian translation messed up the Tip's that game tried to give me, but for the love of god i couldn't figure out on my own, how to kill
Jed, Alastor... Mother and Susan, i think her name was Susan (the girl that uncle Tom was banging).
2nd game was a solid sandbox, i loved it, it didn't had enough truly unique kill's, coz in 1st game every kill is unlike other's. But i enjoyed variety of ways Lucius could interact with things, combine items and use power's, only down sides are map and No Fireballs. You can't just set someone on fire, you gotta make preparations for it, even on maxed out everything you can't do that. Map is just maze, but locations are interesting, and idk, partialy creepy and cosy at the same time, thanks to music i guess.
Right now playing 3rd game, from gameplay seems we are back in the square one, it's a "quest" game, no more sandbox, but Winterhill is fine city, have aesthetics to it, and you can fkn Fly as a crow which is epic, can't say if i gonna get trycicle soon, because it's a legend of a vehicle. I'd say 3rd game as good as first one, presentation is fantastic for real.

I killed everybody with donuts on the 2nd, so thats amazing. But i still find the style and atmosphere of the 1st a lot better than the others. But im a big fan of "The Omen" movie (and novel), and the 1st game really reminds of that. But overall, all games are worth playing.

[maldorf]

1st game definitely, and I must admit that I did not play the 2nd one.

[Cashlamb]

3 due to content/exploration. & 1 is just solid/great.

[Bloodartist]

I haven't finished Lucius III yet, so not rating it yet.

Lucius 1 is most polished and has cool atmosphere, but its a puzzle game with only one solution to each dilemma. So there's very little replay value imo.

Lucius II has way more freedom to explore and to find different solutions, but that means it also doesn't look as polished.

[Vaudevillain]

Demake, actually. In limiting the first game's scope, Demake is able to condense the best parts of it into a package that exchanges shock value for pure charm. It still lacks replay value, so if you've seen anybody play the original game or know anything about its puzzles, you can breeze through it pretty quickly. However, playing it with the knowledge of how the first game plays out, I feel there are tiny changes that enhance the experience.

I have a lot to say about the Lucius trilogy; it's been a fascination of mine for a few years at this point. I'm thinking of possibly making a video in the future on the topic.
