    I just finished Lumo on the vita having gotten it free from this months ps plus games, I found it to be a perfect fit for the vita. Though the game has its frustrating areas and issues, mainly its controls and sometimes the static camera not helping in terms of which direction to jump from varying platforms in the game it's certainly worth a play for the fans of the handheld.

Though the game has its frustrating areas and issues, mainly its controls and sometimes the static camera not helping in terms of which direction to jump from varying platforms in the game it's certainly worth a play for the fans of the handheld. It's fun for the most part and has some very cool challenges and puzzzles throughout. Though challenging in areas I thought that most of my deaths did come a bit unfairly, that been due to either the camera or dodgy controls. I certainly enjoyed many of its nods to certain movies and British television and music along with plenty of collectibles to find most of which I don't think I came close to finding, which has me hungry to go back for another play through as it's also only short, maybe 2-3 hours. For those looking for a nice little pick up for the vita I highly recommend as it suits the system well. Havent played it on the PS4 which is my preferred system but couldn't imagine me having the time for it on the PS4… Expand

    Lumo for the PS Vita is one of the worst ports I have ever seen. I'm sure I would've thoroughly enjoyed the base game had it been a better port, but the visuals are awful, the game nearly crashes everytime you enter a room, the sound is total earrape, the camera is absolutely frustrating, and the controls suck.

    game looks like net yaroze 1997 indie in 2017! everything is awful- graphics, controls, sound. loading screens between rooms for 30+ seconds. I recommend everyone to pass by this game.

    Overall, Gareth Noyce has successfully accomplished what he set out to achieve with Lumo; producing a charming retro throwback comprising of many hidden references to games from the 1980s and early 90s that is highly recommended for gamers who are new to the isometric puzzle genre and veterans of the genre alike as it provides a modern take on Head Over Heels and Batman from the classic 1980s prime of isometric puzzle games.

    Lumo is a very challenging and difficult game that harks back to the earlier days of isometric gameplay. Even with its nostalgia fuelled frustration it will have you going back for more.
