    Surely anyone with a taste for adventure will appreciate the ingenuity and character of such an intricate and secret-stuffed world. [Aug 2016, p.120]

    Charming, creative and stubbornly old-school. [Issue#175, p.81]

    Publisher Rising Star Games clearly saw something special with Lumo, and while it has its flaws, it’s probably as good as an isometric throwback can be. Gamers that grew up with the genre will enjoy Lumo for its nostalgic kick, but those that have never played an isometric adventure title like this may not be able to derive as much enjoyment from the game.

    Although it brings back some of the elements that made isometric adventures so popular in the 80s, Lumo fails to deliver a solid experience due its bugs and an irregular pacing.

    Lumo could have easily been another retro inspired title that did little other than revel in old-school visuals. If anything, the reverse is true here. While visually a little unappealing, the isometric adventure and platforming gameplay are great, with a smattering of hair-pulling moments not enough to irrevocably damage what is a lovely trip down memory lane.

    It's not a must-have, but it's fun and engaging. It might feel a little bit outdated these days, but if you're looking for a dose of nostalgia, then it's a great choice.

    An old school adventures that doesn't manage to adapt to modern times and make the same mistakes that this kind of games made 20 years ago.

    It’s a gorgeous game in a simple yet enchanting package, but it’s just a shame that as you unwrap it and delve deeper into its core, you’re left with little but frustration and disdain.

    Lumo is full of well thought out puzzles, but it lacks certain gameplay touches that could have pushed it into being a great game. My main gripe is that the jumping feels awkward and, coupled with perspective issues, means you can fail a simple puzzle dozens of times.

I foundMade by the developers behind the wonderful "Oddworld" remake, Lumo is a simple yet fun puzzle platformer that appeals to all ages. I found some minor frustration in the controls, but the overall charm and level design more than made up for it. If you're a wistful gamer who grew up on simpler games, or a new gamer looking for a fun, simple challenge, it's not a bad way to spend 20 bucks. Make sure to adjust the control scheme to one that works best for you. And explore, there's secrets everywhere.… Full Review »
