Is Lootbox Lyfe worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Metroidvania fans who want movement abilities to determine exploration progress
- Platforming players who prefer non-linear routes and fast traversal
- Players seeking a 5–8 hour adventure with extra completion goals
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a long campaign may reach the stated 5–8 hour completion point quickly.
- Players who dislike precision platforming or movement-focused progression may hit a wall when new areas require specific movement options.
- Players seeking a primarily narrative-driven RPG may find the focus on exploration, platforming, and route choice mismatched.
Our take on Lootbox Lyfe
The bounce point is movement-based access: progress depends on obtaining the right traversal options for new routes. Players who do not enjoy repeating exploration with upgraded movement, or who want a longer campaign than 5–8 hours, may stop there.
What is Lootbox Lyfe?
Explore an interconnected, non-linear world as Liam Cappello, the last Xoobotl, using movement abilities to reach new areas and overcome platforming obstacles.
The game includes 11 areas, from a mountainside rebels’ base to a garden affected by lootbox-induced fungi trees. Hidden coins can be exchanged for lootboxes containing hats with special powerups. Outfits and colors provide appearance customization. Different routes allow playthroughs to vary, while tight movement supports fast traversal. A speedrun-focused mode and other modes provide alternate ways to play. The main journey takes 5–8 hours, with additional content for completing the game fully. The story centers on a species brought to ruin after widespread addiction to lootboxes.
