Planet of Lana Reviews

A short, but very beautiful game, especially in the later levels!

Lovely visuals and audio, puzzles not too taxing, only a couple of annoying sections where it feels like you have to fail the puzzle at least once to succeed, a pleasant length 2-3 small-moderate sessions a bit longer if you want to 100%. Overall a very good time.

This game is essentially just an interactive walking sim. It's very good looking but there's not much else of substance to it.

This just didn’t click with me. Granted I didn’t play for more than 30 mins, but first impressions count a lot for me and I don’t have the time or patience to hope a game “gets gud” after several hours. The music is top notch and the art style seems nice, but the character has a whining voice I found irritating and they move soo damn slow, feels like I’m a steering a boat. The overall atmosphere and setup just didn’t grab me and seemed quite bland. I’m sure many people with love this, but I’m obviously in the small minority who do not. I’ve recently just played Ori and the blind forest, Inside and Celeste and loved them all.

A very enjoyable side-scroller with light puzzle elements and a good story. Imagine if "Inside" had less dark themes to it. I highly recommend it as it was rather enjoyable and can be finished over 1 or 2 days.

This is a great game for any age imo. The story is not being told, so younger audience might miss the story completely, but I think it is worth the shot. It is quite short for the money, I would recommend to wait for a sale, anyway it's an enging puzzle and story driven game with beatiful art and Epic music.

I played through this game but can't say I enjoyed my time. In fact, for most of it, I just wished it would be over already. This is a game in the same way that holding left on the gamepad while walking through a pretty but relatively bland and superficial world is a game. It's all about vibes and solving the occasional riddle—except there’s maybe one, maybe two puzzles in this game that even deserve to be called that. The rest is more like: press a button, then excruciatingly slowly walk over there and press another button. I loved Inside and Limbo and thought this might be a similar experience. I think it wants to be that kind of game, but it just isn't.

It's a fairly slow game, more about vibes than anything else. There's a lot less to the early puzzles than I would have preferred, but then some of the later ones are quite pleasing. Quicktime events come out of nowhere in the late game, and I wasn't a big fan of that. An amazing setpiece was happening all around me, but all I could do was look at the button prompts to see what I was going to do. That said, it did really get my blood pumping, so there's that. The voice acting is cute and effective, and the use of color and minimalism in the designs is really really good. It's a gorgeous game both visually and aurally. It reminds me of Another World, a game from the early 90s, but is less bleak. The game is shortish and won't be for everyone, but no game is. If you want to just enjoy existing in this world that you see in the trailer, and do some puzzles and exploration as you do, then grab it for sure.

This is a fun game with incredible music and art style and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who loves this style and gameplay. There are scenes that will stick with you even after you’ve finished, thanks to the amazing music and visuals. The price is also great, so if you have the chance give it a try. I’m sure you won’t regret it.

Planet of Lana is a visually pleasing 2D puzzle platformer in which you journey through a strange and intriguing world, solve puzzles and avoid being captured by sinister robots. This game is all about connection; The connection between the protagonist and her loyal companion who keeps her going, and in a broader sense, the connection between humans, machines and nature. I found the puzzle design to be well executed and the story well done and compelling. My only complaint is that there are times where the controls feel a bit wonky, but it’s not something bothersome and it doesn't affect the gameplay much. If you’re looking for a relaxing, low stakes adventure with a few challenges peppered throughout, Planet of Lana is for you. It's short, sweet, emotional and mildly challenging.
