The absence of a story, some flaws with creature mechanics, and the repetitive nature of the environments are definitely things that Luminawesome Games could have improved upon, but somehow, the game kept drawing us in. The easy-to-learn gameplay, combined with excellent puzzle mechanics made for a game that was challenging and fun.

- Lumote: The Mastermote Chronicles is a bit of an enigma. Its premise is enough to make you to want to see more, but there’s never really any depth to it. That being said, depth of story doesn’t matter substantially, as long as the gameplay is fun. The gameplay mechanics are basic and don’t deviate much from the introductory levels.
- 6.0If you thrive on completing puzzles, you’ll likely get a kick out of working your way through each of Lumote: The Mastermote Chronicles’ levels. But be prepared for plenty of repetition in both puzzle design and the environment around you.
- While Lumote’s puzzles can be head-scratchingly good, the two-tone color palette, repeated environments, and, at times, frustrating user interface hampers any satisfaction.
- Lumote is a beautiful game and if I’ve got any complaints it’s that I want more. Clever and logical as its puzzles are, I spent almost as much time looking around as I did scratching my head, grumbling about how it’s not possible to solve the current area with the available pieces until figuring out that, yes, actually it is.
- 8.0Lumote: The Mastermote Chronicles is a beautiful puzzler that you will thoroughly enjoy. The simplicity of the gameplay makes this a joy to jump into, even if the camera does have a few issues and it’s a pain to have to restart stages when you die. But the rest of the time, the wonderful world and ever-increasing challenge ensures that Lumote: The Mastermote Chronicles is a unique experience that is well worth taking in.
