A Girl Looking For Her Friend...

[Yemreged · 8/10 · 15 April 2024]

The game narrates the story of Lana. A fictional village, where the spoken language isn't understandable, gets attacked by an alien civilization. Her friend gets kidnapped, and she wants to go after her which leads to an adventure.

The whole game consists of puzzles. Puzzles aren't hard, but they make the player think on how to solve it. This makes the game unique amongst the games of the same genre.

Graphics are really beautiful and mesmerizing. Too minimalist, but it's unique. The accompanying music makes it better.

The only issue I have noticed is that the game is kind of slow, and the puzzles repeat themselves too much which causes boredom.

I wish you a joyful game...

Addictive, relaxing and beautiful

This is the best game I've played on my Xbox s. I don't like open world games, they make me nauseous because of all the movement. Planet of Lana is 2 dimensional and not stressful to the senses whatsoever. In fact, the whole experience of playing the game is one of relaxation and contemplation. The puzzles are not extremely difficult and there is not a lot of frustration, not a lot of thing you need to remember and not many places to get stuck. There are moments of great beauty, but it doesn't become boring. Some of the sequences are quite suspenseful and fun. The music and sounds in a gentle way add to the atmosphere of the game.

For me this was better than Inside, a game I also loved. You can't go wrong trying out Planet of Lana.
