How this score was computed

The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

Acclaim gate: the raw blend lands at 92.0, but scores above 88 must be earned in front of a mass audience; this verdict rests on 2,853 player reviews, a largely self-selected fanbase. As more players weigh in, the ceiling rises (full scale unlocks at 100,000 reviews).

    Lost & Found Co. is a delightful and charming indie offering from our Southeast Asian neighbours up north if you fancy a light-hearted pixel-hunting endeavour. It's detailed and full of life and colour, telling its low-stakes story (in feels, at least) with glee and features a delightful cast of characters and miscreants.

    An experience that goes beyond its genre, offering stunning visuals, a gripping story, and meticulously crafted levels. Gameplay flows seamlessly, with variety and polished content keeping every moment engaging. This is not just an outstanding game in its category but a milestone for the genre.

    Lost and Found Co. is a game that works perfectly in its planned ambitions. Aside from the narrative chit-chat of a genre that certainly doesn't focus on story, Bit Egg Inc.'s title has excellent aesthetics, plenty of attention to quality of life, and a level base that, in quantity and care, offers many hours of gameplay (and replayability). The small additional mechanics add verve to a genre that can become stale and monotonous, so much so that completionists like me waste time and half an hour chasing that last, yet-to-be-missed bonus objective. Rounding out the quality package is an almost reverential attitude toward the player's time, to the point of respecting the desire and need to do something else between sessions: in this way, Lost and Found Co. acts as a playmate who isn't constantly on our backs, but is always there when we want to have another short, delightful, and colorful session.

    Lost and Found Co. is much more than a typical hidden object puzzle game, proving that this genre has far more to offer than you'd expect. The levels are brimming with small details, interactive objects and easter eggs. The story and side plots provide far greater motivation than simply finding all the objects and you can unleash your creativity in the decoration mode of the office. But even without that you'll easily spend 10 to 20 hours playing, depending on how thorough you are.

    Lost and Found Co. displays exactly what makes hidden-object games compelling. What starts as almost overwhelming density slowly, almost meditatively, becomes parsable with a bit of effort. Though the hints and juju points can cause frustration, Bit Egg Inc.’s passion still manages to shine through in every space you explore. There’s just so much care in the chaos and clutter. Even when finishing levels, I found myself lingering and still finding details I’d missed. Combined with an endearing story and a fun decorating system to spend many hours in, it all comes together in a great experience that’s hard not to enjoy.

    Overall, Lost and Found Co. is a nice relaxing game with detailed and content-rich environments that builds on simple and accessible gameplay. Some of the mechanics could be more in-depth, but as a cozy hidden object title, the game works very well and if you want to relax, it will not disappoint you.

    Lost and Found Co. is a gem of a hidden objects game. It goes way, way, way beyond the minimum objectives of a title in this genre and does it with acute precision while still being rounded at the corners.

    Overall, I found Lost and Found Co to be a simple and relaxing game that I could play in short bursts as well as longer stretches. The colorful, hidden object levels are a pleasure to explore with so many interactable objects and secrets in addition to the reward of growing Ducky and Mei Long’s Lost and Found business.

    Lost and Found Co. is a modern take on a historied genre that shows just how far you can take a “simple” genre when a studio understands game design and develops a game with love and care.

    Lost and Found Co may not be a game that tries to reinvent its genre or come up with ideas we’ve never seen before, but by presenting all its features in a package that doesn’t tire or bore the player and is extremely pleasing to the eye, it sends the message: 'Whatever you’re looking for, I’ve got it.' It’s one of the best in its genre.
