Release Date: June 26, 2018
A two-dimensional puzzle game inspired by to classic title of the genre and one of the first games of this type to be released – the good old Tetris. It is a remastered version of 2005 Lumine, which was available only on PlayStation Portable handheld console. The game thoughtfully builds on classic ideas and adds some new features.
Lumines Remastered is a two-dimensional puzzle game and a relative to Tetris that twists the idea of the original. As the title suggests, it is the remastered version of PlayStation Portable’s Lumines, which was released in 2005. Both versions were developed by Japanese studio Resonair and Enhance Games company.
The rules of Lumines Remastered are extremely simple. Players must form one-colored blocks from bricks that appear from the left side of the screen. Connecting two bricks of the same color, both disappear and that moves other bricks, which can lead to a chain reaction. Each destroyed generates points. Unlike in the original Tetris, Resonair’s game places emphasis on a music, with its rhythm dictates the tempo in which new elements appear. A quick-paced song can force quick reactions, while slower tracks allow more strategic approach – slowly building a structure only to remove it in one go the moment a correct figure comes. The game features tens of various tracks and online ranking with an option of unlocking avatars and skins as we progress through the game.
Lumines Remastered offers modes for one or two players, the latter in the form of split-screen.
Lumines Remastered uses very simple two-dimensional visuals. Console version also support vibrations, which can signal falling bricks or just emphasize a music.

Game Ratings for Lumines Remastered Video Game.
GamesBeat: 79 / 100 by Jeremy Horwitz
Even though you can technically enjoy Lumines at a lower price on mobile devices, their smaller wells actually constrict the gameplay compared with wider console and computer platforms, and their soundtracks aren't as compelling. If you want the full Lumines experience, this version's reasonable pricing and interesting features nearly offset its remaining rough edges.
Twinfinite: 4 / 5 by Tom Hopkins
It might be a struggle for some, but getting to grips with Lumines Remastered's deceptively unique gameplay and getting lost in the electronic beats is a wonderfully rewarding and mesmerizing experience. The visuals may not play as much of a part as they do in other puzzle or rhythm games, but the constant promise of something new to see makes you want to keep playing and to keep improving.
Nintendo Life: 9 / 10 by Mitch Vogel
Lumines Remastered is a luminary of the puzzle genre and feels perfectly at home on the Switch. Intense and immersive puzzle action, psychedelic visuals, a killer soundtrack, and a bevy of content and modes make for a premier puzzle experience that should not be missed. Lumines is an addictive experience that is positively a delight to play, and we would highly recommend it to both veterans and newcomers of the puzzle genre. There's something here for everyone, and considering the relatively low price tag, Lumines Remastered is very much ‘required playing' for any Switch owner.
