We’re honestly still not quite sure what kind of game Leximan is, but what we are sure of is that we enjoyed it. From the brilliant writing to the eclectic mix of gameplay genres to the catchy retro soundtrack, there is a lot to like here. Granted, this is the kind of game that caters to a specific niche and that isn’t going to be for everyone, but if you happen to be part of that niche, you’re going to love what’s on offer here.

I’ve never played anything quite like Leximan, and I’m not sure I ever will again. But I am hugely grateful a game this unashamedly silly exists, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a bit of a giggle.

Leximan is one of the most unique games I’ve played in a long time. It’s a love letter to old-school gaming and retro fans are sure to appreciate the genre medley. While a few points felt a bit clunky or unclear, the humour and unique gameplay shines through and though it wasn’t quite what I was expecting, I’m glad I played it.

A wonderfully silly little quest, Leximan feels like a love letter to anyone who’s ever played an RPG. Killer writing brings humour and warmth to its simple adventure gameplay, while a whirlwind tour of genre-spanning minigames provide constant variety that surprises and delights. Despite some occasional wonky controls and slightly under-utilised Lexicon mechanics, its iconic encounters and clever use of wordplay make this magical journey a pleasure to experience.

Leximan is a pretty short adventure, but it’s a great one nonetheless. Its humour and wit never fails to make me smile and laugh, and everything that it throws at you is fun in its own way.
