Lunacid's ambience and exploration is very appreciated. While not every area in the game is a masterpiece, I find myself invested in them nonetheless. Feeling lost in winding paths, coming across secret doors, figuring out how to gain access to something locked away to me, backtracking to somewhere I've been before to discover there was a whole lot more for me to venture now that I'm fitted with better stats and equipment—all of it is a great part of Lunacid's beautiful world. While there is combat and boss fights, these aren't really Lunacid's focus. What you set out to do is to get immersed in its exploration and find as many secrets as you can. The whole gameplay loop is very relaxing. I do need to point out that I personally had some incredibly frustrating bugs near the end of my playthrough that nearly locked me out of an ending, even with the use of the official save editor to mediate it. Just a tad bit of a warning for any completionists interested.
