Gamespot preview.
If all you're trying to do is get the little girl to the end of the stage, it's not that hard, but if you're devoted to gathering all the fireflies, Lucidity can be quite challenging. The levels also get progressively more hazardous, so sometimes you don't even have the time or opportunity to look ahead because you're slapping down pieces as she's walking, jumping, or falling from the last ledge. The storybook visuals and soothing soundtrack stand out as you progress through the different stages of Sofi's subconscious. We really liked the artistic direction in the game where each area had its own color theme and made Lucidity look like an animated children's book. Soft-sounding instruments and the gentle plucking of strings accompany you as guide the adorable girl through the beautiful bug-infested dreamscape. It's hard to resist the game's charm, especially when you read the sweet messages left by Sofi's grandmother at the end of each stage.
