Lost But Found

好玩

This game slowly turned me into an airport employee... and then held me hostage with stickers. Lost But Found starts off really strong, but unfortunately loses momentum the longer you play. You work at an airport, returning lost items to their owners, playing little mini-games, earning money, and buying upgrades. It's a cozy and satisfying gameplay loop that works really well. The problem is that you unlock everything fairly quickly. Once you've bought all the upgrades and earned enough money to finish the game, there's barely anything new left to discover. From that point on, you're mostly repeating the same tasks over and over. Now, I should mention that I went for 100% achievements, and that's where my frustration really came from. The sticker collection sounded fun at first... until I realized how incredibly random it is. Getting every sticker took far longer than earning every other achievement in the game. At some point I wasn't managing an airport anymore—I was managing my disappointment every time another duplicate sticker appeared xD Then there's the achievement for completing 100 successful days. By around halfway through, you've already unlocked basically everything, so the remaining days mostly feel like waiting for the counter to reach 100... while desperately hoping the sticker gods finally show mercy. That said, if you simply want a cozy job simulator, this is still a good game. I also have to admit that I played Ship, Inc. first, and I enjoyed that one so much that it probably made Lost But Found feel weaker than it actually is. So if you like relaxing simulator games, I still think this one is worth checking out. Just... prepare yourself for those stickers. xD
