An interesting game from all points of view. It amuses even those people who are normally not interested in games at all. [Issue#249]
Issues with the sound design aside, Lumino City is truly wonderful. The writing sparkles, puzzles are well put together and fun while requiring you to work for the solution just the right amount, and the visuals really do feel special.

Underrated indie gem, it's a piece of art! making these types of realistic scenes at that time wasn't an easy task. really enjoyed the game.

This game is an artistic gem. The entire city is a real model made from paper and other materials with the character animations superimposed. That sounds a bit hokey for a computer game but the execution is near perfect. The puzzles were clever and varied with an emphasis on logic rather than cartoon logic which can be frustrating in games of this genre. Overall, this was an excellent exploration puzzle adventure with an art style that is sublime. I finished it in about 6 hours which is a bit short so catch it on sale.

And so it’s a strange mix. Lumino City is a real world filled with relationships as thin as its papercraft inhabitants. Whether intentional or not, it seems to be the focus, given that there’s not much in the way of “adventure” in this point-and-click adventure.
The puzzles are not nearly high quality as Layton's, but the atmosphere and design make up for that.
A lovely puzzle game that will catch even hardcore gamers.
Lumino City is an interesting design sketch, then, but the real building work is yet to be done.
Beautiful to look at but the story and gameplay prove far less fascinating than the real world model-making skills of the developer.
Visually stunning, what an underrated GEM of game, just because didnt sell huge amount of money dont mean the game is not art itself and worthy your money, I just think if this game was launched this year should have been a great selling game.
Simple controls, beautiful and creative art style! truly amazing piece of art.

I bought this for my 9-year-old and 7-year-old girls and they love it. It's the perfect level for them because after a bit of effort, they are able to solve most of the puzzles. Sometimes they get stuck and I push them in the right direction, but it's not often.
Sometimes, the simple mechanics of a puzzle are annoying, like the crane, where you have to keep rounding everyone up, or the wheel with the clothes. When you have to run up and down and all around to explore and figure out what you need to do is exasperating, but I would just tell my girls to look for things that might help them, and they would eventually get it.
The guitar puzzle was fun for them. There was a long series of musical tunes to know, and after a long time and many mistakes, my girls finally got it and they were relieved and giggling.
Once they have figured out a puzzle, my girls love to go back and "solve" that puzzle over and over again. This is easy to do with the saved steps in each saved game. It would be nice though to be able to name the saved games instead of trying to remember which one of the 4 games is whose.
I'm not sure they appreciate how beautiful the game is, since it's their first puzzle/adventure game, but I love the looks of it and it's what persuaded me to buy it. I like that the story isn't too involved and you're just thrown into the search for Grandpa. It's a perfect game for kids.

Incredible art. I honestly wasn't the biggest fan of the gameplay itself, because while the puzzles weren't bad, there really wasn't anything special about them to keep me hooked. But what really drove me to keep playing was just the vast array of different art styles that were all so masterfully done in the game. For that alone it deserves a high rating.
