Planet of Lana Reviews

This game looks amazing, with beautiful music and sound effects. The gameplay is linear platforming with some puzzles. I enjoyed especially the first half of the game, the second half had me at times wanting to throw my laptop against the wall. I'm playing with mouse and keyboard, so this feels probably different when a gamepad is used, but the parts in the game where [spoiler] Mui has to ride on the robot [/spoiler] felt atrocious to play with keyboard controls. The movement was overshooting all the time, even with sensitivity turned down to 5%. Otherwise the controls felt ok. Another thing that made gameplay slightly annoying at times is the lack of keyboard mapping.

Planet of Lana is a beautiful story which is simple on the surface but allows for theory and speculation the deeper you think about it. The game is visually gorgeous and appealing to the ear. Movement feels a little slow at times; there is no way to sprint therefore I found myself constantly jumping through every chapter. I like to 100% games therefore my biggest gripe with Planet of Lana is the 'Flawless' achievement. There are ways to make this achievement easier to obtain but I think trying to get this achievement either takes away from the immersion of the story if you're in your first playthrough, or makes it tedious and irritating to obtain after completing the game already. Regardless, Planet of Lana is a game that's definitely worth the experience, and my only wish is that I had a pet as cute as Mui.

A very emotional platform puzzle game, I really liked it. I played both on the Steam deck and on a regular computer - there were no glitches. The backgrounds and atmosphere are simply wonderful, even though they are in a non-detailed style. In short, recommended!

Story was alright. Visually it was quite good compared to the overall low fidelity. Controls were slightly cumbersome. Puzzles were easy and a little repetitive, also somewhat janky. Had to push myself to finish the game; because if I closed it, I knew I would never re-launch the game. I was expecting an amazing experience like Ori, considering the overall rating is comparable, but this was not close. If you want to try it, definitely buy it on sale for a short forgettable experience.

The game took me about 5 hours to finish. A beautiful visuals and nice environmental storytelling.

If you liked Limbo or Inside you're probably going to like this game. It has more puzzles than those games but and, in my opinion, more fun than those games. I said to myself multiple times on my playthrough "this game is better than it has any right to be."

Cool little puzzle platformer. The description on the store page is a bit overhyping the story. It's pretty simple, but fine. Platforming and puzzle sections are not overly difficult. A good one to pick up if you're in the mood for a nice story. It's a bit of a slow game though, lots of walking beteen puzzle sections. Personally I didn't mind this at all. It helped conveying the meaning of the story. Lovely art style. Liked the interactions with little Mui, the cat-like animal you see in the videos.

If you've enjoyed puzzle platformers like LIMBO, this is it. I have enjoyed solving the puzzles, but if you go for multiple playthoughs for achievements, it can be a drag: Cutscenes cannot be skipped.

This was indeed a very cozy little story game. I had a great time playing it and I'm excited for the second game! I also very much loved the cute cat alot :>

[h2]Planet of Lana [/h2] Cute, pretty, but very standard and unremarkable. I can understand why the game is praised, and at the same time — I don't. The art style is beautiful, but it feels like there's not enough of it, and it gets old quickly. The alien setting didn’t seem particularly interesting or original to me, and everything related to the gameplay feels very repetitive — I’d even say “generic” for this genre. It’s charming and not bad, but I found it boring. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3513240165
