Game is wonderful because it really is rebirth of THE genre of old isometric arcade adventures that Knight Lore was first and legendary example. I've played such games, Knight Lore and Alien 8, as kid on my 48 K Spectrum in the mid of the eighties, and Lumo invoked those very fond memories of mine. Lumo is also beautiful and polished game working flawlessly on Linux that is also doubleplusgood.So why is it awful in the same time? Because I'm an old fart who does not have patience any more for finding perfect stream of jumps and steps to get to that damn other side of the room. :-) This game becomes somewhat hard beginning with that Cursed Room of Many Chains and continuing into Land of Snow and Ice so I'll stop for now, and maybe forever.But that's just me. There are easier and good 2.5D isometrics out there, for example Mr. Robot, a very fine game (works with Wine) but Lumo is not in that company. And this is not bad per se, it's just somewhat bad for me.So, if you do have a patience for finding perfect stream of jumps and steps to get to that damn other side of the room, by all means go ahead and buy \/ play Lumo, especially if you are old Speccy fan. If you don't have that kind of patience any more... buy Lumo on sale and play it nevertheless, to the limits of your patience.. A sumptuous homage to the isometric action adventure games popularised by companies such as Ultimate in the eighties, brought up to date with graphics and polish from the modern era. The level design perfectly walks the line between exploration and hair-pulling frustration (although you\u2019ll always want to have *just one more* go) and the game is festooned with tributes to games and game developers from that era.If you're a fan of games like Knight Lore, Head over Heels, Sweevo's World and their ilk or just fancy trying something different from the usual fare, I'd highly recommend it.. Lumo it's a perfect homage to 8-bit classics using the Filmation-II engine, such as Knight Lore and Head over Heels (ZX Spectrum, MSX, Amstrad CPC and others) Cadaver (Amiga) and, most prominently, Solstice (NES). It's everything there, including the fixed camera angles, cute graphics and puzzles made difficult because of perspective ambiguity. Lumo is VERY retro - probably kids raised on polygonal third-person view games can't really grasp this game - but if you were playing adventure games in the 1980s you'll certainly love this one..
