Lume reviews

The game is well, of puzzles, with a very nice aesthetic that gives it a charming air. The problem? You have not played such an incredibly short game in your life. Okay at the end he says it's just one of several, but come on, for the time being I'm pretty scammed. It is also false that it is in as many languages ​​as the description says, it is in perfect English and there is no way to change it. Give more stars when they give the option to play full screen, be longer and support the languages ​​it says it supports.

Well, first of all something positive, yes, the game is well done, nothing more, not less. There are some tricky riddles, but they have to be solved. Now I come to the negative review: Hello German language? Where did you stay? I also got the game for my little kids (12 and 14 years old) who do not know English well yet. In the description is what language German, but is not available, so only two stars !!! Please change this in the description or even better, in the game itself.

The game looks beautiful and especially original because it takes place in a paper model of a house that has been filmed. The puzzles are clearly inspired by the point & click adventure classic Myst (Cyan Worlds) and it looks a bit like Machinarium (Amanita Design). Personally, I don't think games should be judged by their height. Lume is indeed on the short side, but that does not alter the fact that it is a gem and I therefore recommend it (certainly for the price of 3.99). Another small tip: Lume is also available on iOS and it is even more beautiful there! The interface works better and the image is fully utilized, unlike the Mac where it is small at current resolutions.

The description says that this is just the first part. If you are surprised, it is your own fault. Less clear is the thing with the missing languages. The last sentence of the description indicates that the game is only in English, although other languages ​​are indicated in the info box on the right. Clear mistake of the developers. The game itself I find graphically very appealing. It's a little bit like Little Big Adventure. Action does not take place. It's a point & click puzzle game. The puzzles are not extremely difficult and you should also be able to solve them by experimenting, if you do not have it with English or thinking it. I've played it for 20 minutes now and I do not know how much that makes up this first part of the game, maybe half. So far, I think it's completely okay and visually really wonderful. If you want to solve little puzzles, you should feel entertained.
