Ineffectively pulling at heartstrings

Remember Google Stadia, the next big thing in cloud gaming? While the hype has died down considerably after a year since its launch, the service is indeed still around. One of the things that Google tried to do to draw fans in was offer a few exclusives on its new cloud gaming platform. Much like the Epic Games Store, the Internet giant struck a few deals to help bolster the lineup, and Lost Words: Beyond the Page was one such title. But after a year, that exclusivity deal has reached its conclusion, so publisher Modus Games is now free to release the game elsewhere. Lost Words offers an occasionally heartfelt story and a few nice moments and art, but on the whole it s a rather forgettable small indie adventure that is slightly redeemed by its appropriately low price tag.
