- Imperfection does not readily detract from the successes that Lumo achieves, a heartfelt love letter to the revered golden era of gaming that has been created with thoughtful ingenuity. The isometric camera angle can frustrate in how it can lead to imprecision, but it’s hard not to come away charmed by the game’s enchanting design.
Alex Seedhouse · Jan 19, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Overall Lumo did have its fun moments with some puzzles that were really fun, however they seemed to be not nearly enough of them. Some of the fun seemed to be pulled out of the game due to difficult platforming angles.
Heath Shusterman-Zimmerman · Dec 30, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - While Lumo is a charming throwback game to the puzzlers of old, many of the issues with the game’s older design rear their head again here. Those who are fans of the genre will enjoy the game, while those going in blind will most likely find themselves frustrated with the game.
William Gallon · Nov 30, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Lumo is a game with something for everyone. It’s nostalgic in its inspiration from classic dungeon crawling and puzzlers; it’s fresh for its minimalist style and calming yet challenging experience. Porting this indie title over to the Nintendo Switch was a smart move, as it’s the perfect platform for a game you can easily spend 15 minutes or an hour on without skipping a beat.
Alexander Thomas · Nov 21, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - As a modern-day homage to the Golden Age of Gaming, Lumo manages to put a refreshing and contemporary spin on a number of the wonderful retro games that so many remember fondly. And it manages to do so while still being inviting to those who weren’t around to experience those glory days for themselves. Lumo may not be perfect, but that doesn’t stop it from being an enjoyable journey down memory lane — and that’s what matters most.
Kenny McKee · Nov 21, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Lumo provides a modern isometric platformer, offering (as you'd expect) improved audio-visual presentation over the classics of the genre, whilst still providing the same kind of entertainment. There's fun from spotting the references to old and obscure games (like Jack the Nipper) and other things ("Take your brain to another dimension.
Dave Frear · Nov 20, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Lumo is a very challenging and difficult game that harks back to the earlier days of isometric gameplay. Even with its nostalgia fuelled frustration it will have you going back for more.
spritesnbytes · Aug 05, 2016 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - Lumo is a surprisingly challenging puzzle and platforming game. It starts off sweet, but sort of turns sour from some of its difficult puzzles. Yet despite that, it still is a neat little indie game full of nostalgia and surprises.
HaruOfTime · Jun 16, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Lumo is a classic game that stays up to date with modern tools. The game's charming adventure easily bridges the gap between retro and modern.
Steven Ramos · Jun 08, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Lumo has a heart. It’s filled with a charming aesthetics, classis retro style gameplay, fun references to other franchises, and just offers a solid good time for platforming fans. It has a moody if somewhat chill soundtrack, a simple yet fairly pleasing visual design, and it just makes me smile every time I play it. Lumo doesn’t have a lot of people talking about it yet and that’s a shame.
