Lost Eden is a game that, unfortunately, hasn't aged well. It's gameplay is indeed simplistic and the graphics, described by a ten-year-old me as being "better than MYST," would seem crude by modern-day standards. However, it is nearly impossible to find a more immersive game circa 1995, with the possible exception of the aforementioned MYST, and literally impossible to find one with a better soundtrack than the one composed by Stephane Picq in Lost Eden. The bottom line is that this is a game that could scare little kids in its day (myself included) and that appealed to adults, I heard about it from my uncle, which is something that games today don't do as successfully.

I played this game when I was 15 because I was afraid of it as a child. The creepy music and the dinosaur being eaten and some guy dying.. yeah. I used to hide in the backyard when dad played it.

But when I played this for myself, seeing it for the first time since year 5... I realised how stupid this game is. This is a pretty old game. You probably shouldn't buy it because it's hopelessly repetitive and easy and the graphics are also quite boring and unrealistic. If you do buy it, take note it's strictly a puzzle game and there isn't any hint of action in it. Takes only a few hours to complete.
