Planet of Lana

Thanks for the Prime inclusion, Amazon! Anyway, we all know Playdead's LIMBO and INSIDE were standards-setters in the suspenseful puzzle-platformer subgenre, so it is massively impressive to see another stylized take coming well after them. LIMBO was too abstract for me to connect with, but while parts of PoL were really confusing to me at first, it was the story hypotheses in /r/PlanetOfLana that made me realize what a similarly incredible amount of planning went into the lore before the gameplay begins (especially because I had somehow only found 2/10 murals, ha). MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS BELOW: Aside from the unrealistic lack of sensors on the bots' backs (ha), the realistic fiction that I best understood it as (in being a too-aggressive rescue mission of human descendants by the robots that you eventually foil to stay on the planet instead of leaving) made the game absolutely fascinating. The mother ship construction, the genocide of alien lifeforms, the baby care... it was a grim, intriguing take on the Three Laws of Robotics at out-of-control work. The nature-overtaken spacecraft and the humans' forgotten past in the murals made me think of the plot to the RTS Homeworld. 1. I kinda wish we found more than one Mui as the murals suggest! 2. I wish the laser blast from the hover drones was shown to be a taser-like weapon instead. I thought they were killing you, especially seeing your ragdoll body simply fall off entire platforms with them not caring (unless they ARE killing you and some plot speculation has been inaccurate). 3. I totally couldn't figure out that pipe tower puzzle... It was the only time when I needed to whip out a guide. 4. I wish the Mui commands to stay and follow were two separate buttons. I often mixed them up... 5. There were slightly too many segments involving the same kind of robot detection; it got a bit stale at those times. I kinda wondered if the devs ran out of ideas or something. Despite these issues, it's still an excellent game!

had never heard about this game, so the beautiful visuals and soundtrack suprised me. This game was absolutely beautiful, not just the visual but the story has well. I quickly fell in love with the characters and found myself tearing up at the end. Amazing game!
