8 of 15A very fun puzzle game that challenged me and at the same time was very fun!
Lumino city is got to be one of the best games I’ve ever played. The visuals are amazing with the music makes it so relaxing to play. Also the puzzles are always really fun and interesting along with it being a story! I would recommend!
Will there be Lumino City 2? The game is undeniably beautiful and it's fun to play. It's like a fancy maze. Some things are a little too small. Most things need to be figured out using the book. But I finished the game and I don't regret purchasing it. The language of the game is also beautiful and I love the music.
Lumino City is a one of a kind puzzle game with music, handmade mixed media, beautiful collages, and a wonderful storyline. I feel with every puzzle I learn more about how the world operates and by the time I finished it (its a super hard game so it took me years because i kept taking breaks after becoming frustrated) i sat in my chair and watched the credits in amazement. I. LOVE. THIS. GAME. IT. IS. ART!!! True art jn an age where its hard to find something so special.
Liked this game because it’s inspired by handcraft tools and paper crafts, Won a BAFTA game award in 2015 for Artistic Achievement, would recommend to others finding a game inspired by handcraft materials
I used to love this game and would play it a lot but after getting to the boat things that weren’t supposed to happen happened and I could not play anymore. I still love this game and would encourage anyone to play it.
I saw a handful of reviews talking about the game crashing, but so far I’ve had absolutely no issues with that (I’m on the boat part) anyways, while it is incredibly tricky, the fact that there’s no direct hint button makes it more fun in a way. I also love the games occasionally jokes and sense of humor. Graphics are amazing, and it’s just a good game over all
I love this game so much, i have played it over and over again and even played the prequel, lume. I love how smooth the animation is and the detail in every sound and movement. Please please please PLEASE make another one, i have never found any game as entertaining or enjoyable as this :)
