Release Date: October 17, 2025
A sequel of the 2016 logic skill-based game, featuring an isometric view and gameplay inspired by the old-school titles like Knight Lore. Lumo 2 doesn't hold our hand and tell us what to do. Our character must explore various rooms, deal with obstacles and challenges, as well as solve logic puzzles.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, so-called "maze games" enjoyed great popularity. They were productions on the border of logic and skill-based games, with action taking place in rooms located on single screens.
In 2016, the independent studio Triple Eh? decided to pay homage to their golden era by releasing the old-school game Lumo. Years later, the team returned to this brand, creating Lumo 2 described here.
In Lumo 2 the action is most often viewed from an isometric perspective (although the camera occasionally changes perspective).
During the game we once again take on the role of a character dressed in a hat and wielding a staff, who must make their way through a series of locations presenting various challenges. Similar to the original and classics of the genre, they can take the form of rooms, platforms, or corridors that fit on a single screen.
There are trials requiring dexterity and reflexes in the rooms we visit, as well as puzzles testing our logic skills. The game does not lead us by the hand, so to push the action forward, we must experiment with items found along the way and use encountered portals.
The gameplay is diversified with mini-games and collectibles waiting to be discovered.

Gert Lush Gaming: 7.4 / 10 by Jim Smale
Lumo 2 is a puzzle-heavy metroidvania that’s not for everyone, but if you click with its style, it’s a rewarding ride. It’s a game for particular players who enjoy quirky challenges, retro vibes, and layered puzzle design. The lack of guidance and accessibility might frustrate some, but those who embrace its eccentricity will find a game that’s both nostalgic and inventive.

Fun puzzle platformer sequel that pays homage to many classics of the 1980s and 1990s

Nine years on from the original, Lumo 2 writes another love letter to 80s gaming. While it branches out from isometric gaming with its many enjoyable diversions and asides, they're connected by too many rooms and sections that suffer from your sluggish movement and imprecise platforming.
