What's funny is that modern games with homages to retro games often fail, thankfully, to properly represent just how frustrating they were to control. LUNACID fails in this regard but it's a good fail. Because the homage is finely tuned and the aesthetic is perfectly pleasurable. I say it's funny in the psychotic, no sleep kind of subversion-of-reality comedy, not the pie in the face funny which games have such a hard time capturing the latter witch is fine. LUNACID proves this. An alternate-reality, alternate-history kind of game where, in the year 2224, will be confused with actual PS1, Windows 95 first person action RPGs, of witch there were very few. I give this game five out of five moons.
