Lumo is difficult, but it won’t make you want to walk away as there are unlimited lives you can actually change that in the options menu to where you only have a limited amount of lives if you really want a challenge. From there, it is simply an adventure game that has you discovering new rooms, over 400 to be more precise, and discovering items to use in other areas to progress. There isn’t really any plot to Lumo for the most part, except that you are a boy who gets sucked into a videogame world. Younger gamers may not understand what these types of games mean to some of us, and that is problem from a marketing point of view, but that doesn’t take away from the feeling I got when playing Lumo. This is not part of the main story of Lumo, but it’s a nice flashback and break from the actual game.
One of which is the inclusion of bonus areas that had me play an isometric space shooter that resembled something I would have played as a child, along with other homages to the 80’s and 90’s.

Those worries dissipated after I received the game to review. All that I knew was the puzzle aspect to the game, jumping, and manipulating objects were major components, and I doubted that I would enjoy it as a whole when it releases. However, based on that short play through, nothing stood out in the way of making me want to continue onwards. I played a 30-minute build of the game that gave me a decent overall impression of Lumo as it does deliver on the nostalgia of an isometric platformer. And for gamers of a certain age, they’ll instantly see the games that inspired and what Lumo is trying to do.” After a slight delay, Lumo is finally available for download, but is it the platformer that older gamers will appreciate? He answered the question by stating that Lumo is “visually intriguing enough to capture people’s eye. When I interviewed Gareth Noyce, founder of Tripe Eh? Ltd., I asked him what will make Lumo stand out when it is finally released. Nostalgia goes a long way, and I had forgotten what an isometric platformer even was until I was blissfully reminded with the release of Lumo. Note: Coming to PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system and Xbox One in June.
