    One of my all-time favorite puzzle games comes to Switch with tons of modes, online leaderboards, and an excellent, addictive challenge. Only thing keeping it from being perfect is lack of new songs and no online head-to-head. Otherwise, perfect. Especially for the price!

    I was always tempted to get this in the past on PSP and later the Vita, but never took the plunge as I found it quite expensive. Now, considering the low price I decided to give it a go. Man, this game is really good and I love how the game challenges you to get to level 100 to get all the skins. This is a great way to motivate people to keep trying and get better at it!

The HD rumble following the rhythm is also brilliant.… Expand

    It's a really good game to play with the switch. I am already addicted ...
    But the switch and the Unity engine do not seem to fit well.
    Frame improvement and load time reduction patch is needed.

    FINALLY

    I've been waiting patiently for this one. Finally Lumines on the Switch! One of the best puzzlers out there. It looks and feels amazing on the Switch. Thankfully you can switch button schemes though! I don't get why they would make the default button layout different from the orignal. (Scheme B is more like the original psp version where A & B are alternate buttons instead    FINALLY

    Thankfully you can switch button schemes though! I don't get why they would make the default button layout different from the orignal. (Scheme B is more like the original psp version where A & B are alternate buttons instead of A &B the same and X & Y the same, maybe I remember wrong though, anyway, B feels better for me)

    Only small detail that kinda seems to bother me right away is the strafing. It takes too long of a button hold to start the trafe. I remember it being faster on the psp, I want the strave to start immediately after holding left or right! Or at leats a lot faster then how it is on the switch right now. Ohwell.. maybe it just takes some getting used to (but please Enhance, DO FIX if you can!!    … Expand

    The best game on PSP (and one of the best puzzle games ever) is everything you would expect on the switch.

    Trance-like audiovisual experience with simultaneously relaxing yet stressful gameplay. The HD rumble on switch really adds another dimension.

    I'm surprised there isn't more hype around this - if any game is worthy of a remaster, even just to bring it to a new audience, its this one.

    My favorite "short" game recently. Switch version is so great! Great music + HD Rumble create real immersion :) . I'm a big fan of tetris-like games but this one is a real gem!

    To me this is Tetris2, and I'd say it's even better than the original, amazing!

    The slowdown during song transitions or really high combos NEEDS to be fixed, because the game starts ignoring button presses when that happens as it's dropping frames.

    Remastered is a stunning addition to the Switch library that absolutely shouldn’t be missed. Puzzle fans will likely delight the most from the game’s mechanics, but even those who have been turned off by puzzle titles in the past should consider giving Lumines Remastered a look, as it does enough different to warrant any gamer’s attention.

    While Tetris purists may shirk at this block-matching alternative that messes with the formula a little, Lumines is worth a try. Whether it's high scores on the leaderboards, completing strategic challenges, or just filling the void for a couch-multiplayer title, Lumines Remastered has something for all lovers of arcade-type puzzle games.
