Massively over rated ### 2/5 — Frustrating puzzles *2026-06-21, version 2.5.2* Don’t get me wrong, this game’s designs that are handcrafted are beautiful. The problems lie in the puzzles and controls. The controls feel very clunky and you can’t reverse mid-movement when you’ve already set the character to move, which is annoying. The depth perception feels off, which is kind of the point but felt awkward to move. The puzzles range from relatively simple to frustrating. I could not get further than the diner section before giving up and deleting the game. I had to basically either tap everything until the puzzle was complete, or use online guides to help because some puzzles gave me no clue where to even start, let alone how to do it. I’m usually good at puzzles but I need a place to start and unfortunately most of the puzzles I played here lack that. Once again, beautiful game design but frustrating puzzles make it hard to want to finish the game. ### 2/5 — apple tv+で遊べない *2026-05-21* とても良いアプリなので、大きい画面で楽しめるように、apple tv+のiOS26.5に対応できるようにアップデートしていただければ嬉しいです。 ### 4/5 — Great game! *2025-08-16, version 2.5.2* I saw a handful of reviews talking about the game crashing, but so far I’ve had absolutely no issues with that (I’m on the boat part) anyways, while it is incredibly tricky, the fact that there’s no direct hint button makes it more fun in a way. I also love the games occasionally jokes and sense of humor. Graphics are amazing, and it’s just a good game over all ### 4/5 — hope controller support *2025-07-05, version 2.5.2* thx ### 3/5 — A Unique Gaming Experience *2025-04-01, version 2.5.2* The entire world is built by hand! As beautiful, fun and rewarding as this game is, I really wish that the developers would update the game for Apple TV. Don’t let games with so much work put into them like this one die! ### 5/5 — Klasse *2024-12-21* Das war es echt wert Geld dafür auszugeben ### 5/5 — ITS THE BEST!!! *2024-11-24, version 2.5.2* Lumino city is got to be one of the best games I’ve ever played. The visuals are amazing with the music makes it so relaxing to play. Also the puzzles are always really fun and interesting along with it being a story! I would recommend! ### 5/5 — Increíble *2024-09-14, version 2.5.2* Uno de los mejores juegos del App Store ### 5/5 — Super fun game! *2024-08-13, version 2.5.2* A very fun puzzle game that challenged me and at the same time was very fun! ### 5/5 — The game is very fun *2024-06-01, version 2.5.2* Even though this game doesn’t have multiple different levels. I play it multiple times because of how much I enjoy playing it! ### 5/5 — Work of art *2024-02-20, version 2.5.2* Incredibly detailed, great story line and all in all the best puzzle game I have ever played. ### 5/5 — Pretty and Somewhat Challenging *2024-01-31, version 2.5.2* Will there be Lumino City 2? The game is undeniably beautiful and it's fun to play. It's like a fancy maze. Some things are a little too small. Most things need to be figured out using the book. But I finished the game and I don't regret purchasing it. The language of the game is also beautiful and I love the music. ### 5/5 — Engaging, cool graphics, and fun! *2024-01-29, version 2.5.2* Lots of interesting....not too hard....puzzles, snd the grapics are great. ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2023-11-08, version 2.5.2* Challenging puzzles and interesting visuals. ### 5/5 — Charming , delightful , skilful *2023-09-29, version 2.5.2* Everything about this is wonderful It is one of those works of art that you find difficult to assimilate, thinking to yourself “I can’t believe something can be this good!” The concept is fabulously original, the attention to detail that has gone into its execution astonishing and spellbinding. Can I use the word “cinematography” when talking about a computer game? It is really cinematic. It is almost a tactile experience playing this game, and I liked the music so much that after I finished the game I would go back to scenes just to listen to it The animation and script is charming and funny The gameplay is just right for a phone, you can leave and comeback for as little or as long as you want (but I did spend far longer on this than I intended each time I played it). The puzzles are very varied. Deciphering codes; moving the avi through a complicated route; applying scratchy handwritten directions etc They are difficult, you have to work out what you are supposed to do and then you have to learn to execute it, but you always feel they are possible, and there are several punch the air moments when you finally make the grade. Cannot imagine anyone disliking this. ### 5/5 — Great brained *2023-09-10, version 2.5.2* Fantastic ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No AppleTV Support *2025-01-06, version 2.5.2* Please don’t say your game will run on AppleTV if you only support a years-old version of tvOS. ### 1/5 — Why *2024-06-17, version 2.5.2* The prisms won’t line up like the book says. WORST. GAME. EVER. ### 1/5 — Verspielte Optik - mehr nicht *2023-10-16* Am Handy sind viel wichtige Spielelemente nicht erkennbar. Selbst wenn man sich Beispielvideos auf Youtube ansieht, sind diese nur zu erraten. Gleiches gilt für die Rätsel - durch die verspielte Optik gibt es keine erkennbare Spielhinweise - man kann nur rumraten. Eine Spielhilfe gibt es nicht - und in dem „Handbuch für alles“ stehen Hunderte Hinweise ohne erkennbare Struktur und Suchfunktion. Wer verspielte Bilder mag, dann ist dies eine nette Gelegenheit. Wer dagegen gerne spielen möchte, ist mit „lost in play“ deutlich besser beraten. ### 1/5 — AppleTV 4K *2023-05-28, version 2.5.2* Dont work on AppleTV 4K ### 1/5 — Apple TV 4K *2023-04-29, version 2.5.2* App startet gar nicht…bitte updaten! ### 1/5 — Tvos16.2 *2023-01-08, version 2.5.2* The game it doesn’t run on this os. Can you make a update please. ### 1/5 — The sound is broken on iPhone 14 pro max *2022-11-26, version 2.5.2* The sound has strange annoying distortion on the iPhone 14 pro max. Couldn’t even start playing the game. ### 1/5 — Needs update *2022-11-21, version 2.5.2* No longer compatible on latest OS ### 1/5 — TvOS Actualización Necesaria *2022-08-23, version 2.5.2* Queríamos jugar toda la familia en nuestro Apple TV pero no funciona, necesita una actualización por parte del desarrollador… ### 1/5 — Apple TV *2022-07-24, version 2.5.2* Aktuell funktioniert das Spiel nicht bei Apple TV ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I just finished the game, it's a masterpiece. *2026-06-28, version 2.5.2* Lumino City is a one of a kind puzzle game with music, handmade mixed media, beautiful collages, and a wonderful storyline. I feel with every puzzle I learn more about how the world operates and by the time I finished it (its a super hard game so it took me years because i kept taking breaks after becoming frustrated) i sat in my chair and watched the credits in amazement. I. LOVE. THIS. GAME. IT. IS. ART!!! True art jn an age where its hard to find something so special. ### 5/5 — This game is AWESOME *2026-05-22, version 2.5.2* Liked this game because it’s inspired by handcraft tools and paper crafts, Won a BAFTA game award in 2015 for Artistic Achievement, would recommend to others finding a game inspired by handcraft materials ### 5/5 — Beautiful puzzle game *2026-01-20, version 2.5.2* The puzzles are fun and very satisfying to solve. A delight from beginning to end. ### 5/5 — Fantástico! *2026-01-01, version 2.5.2* Es muy divertido y los rompecabezas son muy originales! ### 5/5 — Обновите ее для без рамочных экранов *2025-11-02* Обновите ее для без рамочных экранов!!!!! ### 5/5 — Bugs out at the boat *2025-10-22, version 2.5.2* I used to love this game and would play it a lot but after getting to the boat things that weren’t supposed to happen happened and I could not play anymore. I still love this game and would encourage anyone to play it. ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER *2025-09-02, version 2.5.2* I love this game so much, i have played it over and over again and even played the prequel, lume. I love how smooth the animation is and the detail in every sound and movement. Please please please PLEASE make another one, i have never found any game as entertaining or enjoyable as this :) ### 5/5 — Yaratıcı ve eğlenceli *2025-08-10, version 2.5.2* Bulmacalar aşırı zor sayılmaz, hikaye eğlenceli, tasarım kusursuz. ### 5/5 — Beautiful handmade game *2025-07-08, version 2.5.2* Worth every cent ### 5/5 — Lovely Way to spend time *2025-04-13, version 2.5.2* Played this with my partner and loved solving it together! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
