    Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf once again tells a top-notch story, one I’m firmly invested in. I don’t just want to see where these characters go next (especially after Planet of Lana 2 has revealed so much about them and their world) but I need this adventure to keep on adventurin’. The year is still young, but Planet of Lana 2 is the best game I’ve played yet in 2026.
  2. It’s not quite Bestest Best material, then. But Planet of Lana 2 succeeds far, far more often than it dawdles. Its core puzzle-platforming benefits from some particularly canny mechanical improvements, scoring the unlikely achievement of becoming more complex without stumbling into head-stumping, teeth-grinding difficulty. And, once you escape those cold corridors, it’s even more of an audio-visual treat than the original. Still with, happily, a cat who actually listens to you.
