There isn’t much replay value, since a solved puzzle can’t be resolved, and why would you want to anyway. Considering this BAFTA award winning game will set you back $20 on Steam, you are getting more than a bargain, especially when you consider that you can play the game on Apple TV. It was difficult to use the touch pad in spots where complete control was needed. Similarly, on Apple TV, the Siri remote would sometimes not work smoothly. A second or third tap would finally register and the character would move. Every once in a while, I’d tap on something with no response. Even if you do find yourself at wits end with a puzzle, the Handy Manual is there to get you out of a jam. The puzzles are hard enough to be real head scratchers, without being so confusing that you give up in frustration. The GoodĪs a fan of puzzle adventures, I can definitely say that this one is a winner. I would even use my iPad to access the Handy Manual while playing the game on my Apple TV. The game saves in iCloud, so you are able to pick up where you left off seamlessly. I loved seeing the intricate details of the handcrafted models on my big screen TV. The game is universal on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. Usually, when the bag icon appears in the bottom right corner of the screen, that means, you probably won’t solve the puzzle on your own. It was a lifesaver for me on a number of occasions. However, I will recommend you use the Handy Manual often. I don’t want to give away too many details because the puzzles are what makes the game so good. However, even after you’ve done the leg work to get the team behind you, there is still another puzzle to complete within that same go around. In another area, you must help a half dozen residents to get what they want before they will help you with your task. Using your knowledge of lemon power, you can complete the broken circuit to juice up (pardon the pun) the house. In one area, the electricity has gone out and you must help get the TV working again. I can’t wait to try it out.Īs far as puzzles go, each one is uniquely designed for the location you are in. However, I did come across a recipe for, what appears to be some sort of biscuit. The in-between fodder is mostly schematics and repeating text copied from some dictionary or something. Although the guidebook only has a few dozen pages intended specifically for the puzzles, it is 900 pages long. While others most certainly require the use of the included Handy Manual, which in and of itself is a work of art. Some of them are fairly easy to figure out. The game is made up of a series of puzzles. Although we are playing on a two-dimensional screen, the world seems to pop out in 3-D right before our eyes. The graphics add a warmth and level of depth that is impossible to describe, but easy to understand when you play the game. Everything you see has a physical model somewhere in the world right now (I believe the models are in a museum). Then, the objects were digitized and added into the game. Every object, every frame, every puzzle, was first handcrafted out of paper, miniature lights, motors, and more. The graphic design of this game is outstanding. Lumi meets townsfolk along the way and helps them fix things, find things, and build things. Granddad is the caretaker of Lumino City and since his disappearance, the city has really fallen apart. You are in control of Lumi, who is on a journey to find her missing grandfather. We’ve got a full game review of Lumino City for you today. Not only is it visually pleasing (read below to find out more about that), but the puzzles are also unique and complex, without being so difficult that you lose interest. Finding the right mix of complexity and innovation, combined with proper elements of visual aesthetic, is not that easy. Puzzle adventure games are a dime a dozen, but that doesn’t mean they are all good (or all bad, for that matter).
