Lumo switch review2/25/2023 I think the game would be significantly improved by allowing you to change input after you have chosen at the beginning of the game. It could be argued that this is trying to teach the player to hone their skills, but it feels more like a level design issue that could and should have been fixed. There is also an issue with accidentally passing through doors, subsequently changing rooms when you don’t want to. With a little practice you can get it, but when you fail regularly because of this issue it just illuminates the depth problem rather than feeling like a feature. Many of the puzzles rely on you landing on suspended platforms or collecting rubber ducks from locations where you’ll meet guaranteed death if you miss the target. So ripping in: one thing that the game suffers from is a poor sense of visual depth. I’m going to rip into what’s wrong with the game, but I really want to stress that it’s actually a very fun game, very enjoyable to play, and with a visit. The game starts off a little slow, building up how it’s puzzles work but once it gets into it it’s very fluid and fun to play. So ripping in: one thing that the game I picked up this in the 2021 holiday sale, and it was a steal. I picked up this in the 2021 holiday sale, and it was a steal. I believe that's in line with the current eshop price, but the game goes on sale often. As of this writing, I'd put the game's value at about $25 CAN ($20 US). The game contains lots of "achievements" and hidden items which gives it a fair chunk of replay value, and I'm not sure you can experience all of the game's hidden "warp zones" on one playthrough. Replay value: It took me about 25 hours to play through exploration mode once plus a couple of tries at hardcore mode (finite lives and no saves). #7 Smallish Pro: It's nice to play this type of game with a joystick instead of a d-pad. #6 Smallish Cons: No more leaderboards as of 2020, and there are a few small glitches. #5 Pro: The game has lots of breaks from dungeon crawling into minecart riding, slalom skiing, and even a Zaxxon clone, like a miniature museum of isometric gaming. #4 Pro: The ambient soundtrack and colourful lighting create a solitary atmosphere that matches the old Equinox feel amazingly well. #3 Con: No combat - I was hoping for an experience similar to Equinox on SNES, but this game is more exploring and jumping than fighting. It would appear 3D platformers like Super Mario 64 made this genre obsolete, but they're not the same. #2 Con: It can sometimes be difficult to tell where objects are with the isometric view. Pros and cons (from big to small): #1 Pro: There's really nothing like this game coming out any more, a pretty unique experience. Reminiscent of Equinox or Solstice although inspired by Head Over Heels. #2 Con: It can sometimes be difficult to tell where objects are with the isometric Lumo: A good return to old-school isometric platforming as we used to see in the 80s or early 90s. #1 Pro: There's really nothing like this game coming out any more, a pretty unique experience.
