    The game is great and every aspect of the game is positive. It’s not perfect though, having slight issues with the gameplay and story pacing. The good and fun things overwhelm the tiny amount of negative things making this game definitely worth buying.

    Planet of Lana is an incredible journey. It's a down-to-earth traipse through a unique but endearing off-world setting, with tight pacing and excellent presentation underscoring a tale of camaraderie and familial devotion. Whether it's the incredible visuals or the stellar gameplay, it's worth your time.

    The overall design of Planet of Lana is something to marvel at. The game loves to throw you into a tense situation and then give you a stretch of peaceful land to run through and reflect on the experience. Further, these moments are used to give an update on the state of the invasion and changing of scenery.

    Despite a few superfluous sections and a very simplified platforming component, Planet of Lana offers engrossing and complex puzzles and a truly noteworthy mix of atmosphere and art direction.

    Planet of Lana strikes a nice balance between its different aspects. Exploring the game's world is never dull with its appealing art style. Puzzles are varied and fun, with some thrilling encounters along the way.

    Planet of Lana is a vibrant and vivid dreamscape. From luscious greens to bright blues, it’s very clear how important art is in a game like this. Some issues hold the title back, such as a lack of checkpoints leading to frustration in puzzles. Though the environmental storytelling is strong, the puzzle elements largely work with the use of “companion-based gameplay”, and the stealth sections, while basic, make for a fun time. All in all, Planet of Lana is an engaging and unique game, and a world worth experiencing.

    While its evocative graphics will attract players on this beautiful journey, the simple traversal puzzles and lack of emotional weight mean Planet of Lana is just not very memorable.

    Not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, but the fact that there is no cutscene skipping feature completely ruined my completionistNot a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, but the fact that there is no cutscene skipping feature completely ruined my completionist experience, especially for the deathless achievement. It also just made collecting all of the collectibles extremely tedious. A fix for this would save thousands of players hundreds of hours total. Just add a cutscene sipping feature. We're in 2023.… Expand
