The numbers don’t lie: Lumo 2, the sequel to the 2016 arcade-adventure hit is bigger, better, and more wonderfully British than ever before.
Lumo 2, the highly anticipated new title from developer Triple Eh? and publisher Numskull Games is now available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC for £19.99.
This isn’t just a nostalgic trip; it’s a full-blown puzzle-platforming Metroidvania, packed with evolving gameplay and surprising genre twists that make it a love letter to the trailblazing days of early videogames.
Following a Modern Classic
The original Lumo was a game that captured our hearts with its challenging but rewarding gameplay. In our glowing 4/5 review from back in 2016, we called it a game where the developer “obviously knows how to make a good game and really knows his 80’s and 90’s video game.” We praised its scale, stating:
“There’s a lot of game here as well for an indie title and you’ll be spending a good deal of time getting through it – and plenty more of your hard earned time collecting all the secrets.“
Lumo 2 takes that brilliant foundation and builds upon it in every conceivable way. At least, we hope. We’ll find out in full review real soon.
A World of Shifting Dimensions
Lumo 2 is a vibrant puzzle-platforming Metroidvania where every room is a challenge, and every challenge brings something new. You will navigate over 100 meticulously designed rooms and shifting dimensions, each a puzzle box with dangers to dodge and secrets to uncover.
You’ll need to explore and experiment to crack the challenges within, unlocking new paths and abilities as you go.
On top of the core adventure, you can take on three different mini-games to master, and hunt for a host of classic collectibles, including 25 vintage cassettes and 20 hidden ducks. The gameplay never stops evolving, with portals that can flip the script and morph into wild genre twists to keep you on your toes.
