Screen Rant
By Deven McClureDepending on how long each puzzle takes players, Lucy Dreaming will run about eight to ten hours, and although the game's eventual conclusion falls a bit short, this time spent still mostly feels worthwhile. Despite this lackluster final plot beat and occasional elements of tedium, Lucy Dreaming overall comes off incredibly charming thanks to its fun pixel style, entertaining and fully-voiced characters, and creative puzzle mechanics. For any fan of the classic point-and-click adventure genre, Lucy Dreaming is much more of a dream than a nightmare.

Nindie Spotlight
By Justin NationA more retro-than-typical style of interface, cheeky humor, and great voice acting helps to lift this adventure up
Gamer's Palace
By Beatrice VogtLucy Dreaming is made for all fans of the old point and click adventures that grew up with the classic titles of the genre.
Expansive
By Sally WillingtonLucy Dreaming is among the best point and click adventures in a year that has been full of some brilliant ones. It starts out as a homage but it ends with its own identity and the promise of an all-new humorous franchise. Some tonal frustrations aside, this is definitely comfort food for adventure game purists and a must play!
