Why would anyone care that random chance is a part of this game, when it’s been done so many times before?Īfter having finished the game, I can see what they were going for, but it still seems like a weird way to sell the experience.

It seemed odd, then, that Lost in Random appeared so excited over such an ancient concept in games. And games haven’t slowed down this usage, with RNG being so common that it’s barely worth mentioning. The earliest videogame RPGs were mostly based on Dungeons & Dragons mechanics, using random-number-generation (RNG) to simulate the roll of the dice.

Randomness has been a part of games since their inception.
