LIGHT RELIEF

For all that Lost In Random’s presentation wants to convince you of its dedication to the darkness – and it does have a surprisingly nasty streak for an EA-published family title – the main reason to keep coming back lies at the opposite end of the spectrum.

The result is a script packed with soft chuckles.
