Lumines is a puzzle game, where you have to match same colored squares into a cube like shape to clear them and collect points. It sounds basic, but you get the squares in a 2x2 block which could have different pattern of colors.

The game idea is pretty good and quite challenging to master it, you will need quite some time to play this game on a decent level. Surprisingly, even though I'm not good at the game, it's still addictive to play and I found myself retrying a lot to be able to get better. The remastered version has different game modes, like playing against AI, doing different kinds of missions or playing a couch multiplayer with someone else, and completing these game modes and getting achievements grants you different skins for the HUD or different avatar to play with.

On the other hand, in my opinion the soundtrack is mostly a miss for me. For whatever reason this game reminds me of the Tetris: The Grand Master game series, where if you would complete a few levels you get new visuals and music to listen to meanwhile you playing, however most of the Lumines soundtrack is not that enjoyable. Also, some of the skins / visuals are difficult to play with, either an effect makes it hard to look at it or the squares looks difficult to see them apart.

I did not know anything about Lumines before, however this is a pretty decent puzzle - matcher game and I can recommend getting it, if you into this kind of games. 15€ is a bit lot for it, but 7 - 9€ is a decent price in my opinion.

it can sometimes crash if unlucky but very good remaster to lumines remastered
fun for newbies
