Planet of Lana

the game is very cute platformer with all the feels mostly chill :)

nice

Planet of Lana is a beautifully realized puzzle platformer that harkens back to games of old and VERY old. It reminded me, of course, of Playdead's Limbo and Inside, but also Eric Chahi's Another World (Out of This World) and Starbreeze's Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. My only issues with the game are the simple puzzles that never become difficult (may be a positive for some) and the poorly implemented and non-rebindable keyboard controls.

I loved LIMBO and INSIDE and I loved this, too. Breathtaking backdrops, the feeling of a real, authentic journey, and mind teasing puzzles make this a real great game. Immersive, thoughtful, and engaging. Well worth it.

Reminiscent of INSIDE in many ways, but a much more vibrant world and palette, with some expanded/'unique' game mechanics. Platforming gameplay is not tight; the puzzles are fair in difficulty. It is more of a cinematic experience rather than a punishing experience like GRIME. The watercolour art style (especially on an OLED), music, and story are what make this game. Two moments that were really beautiful, where the art/music raised my eyebrows and it was a feast for the senses - though in one I was only holding right on the d-pad and the other was a cinematic cutscene, haha. At the credits, the game left me with moistened eyes, so it is a moving experience. I think full price is too much (I got it from Amazon Prime for free). If on sale, especially below 10$ CAD, it is appropriate, considering games like DISCO ELYSIUM and WITCHER 3 frequently hover above that price and have way more game 50-100+ hours vs. 5 hours. I would wait for more of a discount; it's only been out for a year and some.
