About

Having vanished without trace for thousands of years, an innocent race of creatures known as the Lumini have returned to their home world. Sadly, time has not been kind and the balance of the planet has shifted, turning the once gentle environment into a hostile landscape. Only the Lumini themselves can restore balance and help revive their long-dormant race, before adapting to preserve the future for generations to come.

It seems so rare to come across a game that can truly achieve its objective, but with the combination of tranquil adaptive music, beautiful scenery and the mesmerising, flowing movements and colours, Lumini seems to genuinely allow the stress and worries of life to melt away.

It is clear that there was ambition behind Lumini’s development. A living, breathing world, combined with an effective soundtrack was certainly impressive, but the boring gameplay and abundance of performance issues ruin any sort of enjoyment of the game. If you are looking for a game that scratches that Journey or Pikmin itch, there are many stronger and more interesting options on the Switch eShop.

You will find yourself partaking in a relaxing, almost zen-like experience over the two or so hours you will be playing this for. The visual story, concept and the soundtrack make this one of the best games under the cost of a tenner that I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing. So if you like games that push the boundaries of the imagination, and will happily do with some super solid gameplay throughout, then you can’t go wrong with Lumini.

To be "one of the most relaxing games ever made" was a stated design goal of Lumini, but the only thing the experience has in common with relaxation is that both end in sleep. Come to think of it, sleep is an acceptable substitute for playing the game. At least in dreams, visions of alien worlds and meaningless stories don't come with a $13 price tag and a couple of hours of monotonous gameplay.

Lumini is short, but sweet. What the game lacks in content is easily made up by the blissful audio and artwork, which absolutely make this a little gem of a game. Despite its few flaws, I genuinely enjoyed my time with the Lumini, and their charm made merely gliding around delightful. A mini adventure which often brought a beaming smile to my face, it would be hard not to recommend giving Lumini a go.

Lumini es un mas que notable juego de puzzles. Es cierto la complejidad no es su punto fuerte y que la duración es escasa, pero no siempre queremos sudar al resolver un acertijo, y títulos como Lumini han llegado para ocupar ese hueco. Recomendamos el uso del Joystick, ya que en varias ocasiones el uso del teclado será insuficiente para controlar a nuestro grupo.
