the core gameplay of lumines is still there (and still pretty great), but this one's got some issues. it feels a lot more slippery (both gameplay-wise and because the vita's d pad isn't spectacular), and not being able to see the path your pieces fall along is a bit rough. also the touchscreen controls are terrible, it usually took me like 5 attempts to get your special blocks because shit just wasn't registering. there just isn't as much content as lumines remastered, it's just a less enjoyable experience overall.

the soundtrack is pretty great though, that's the one thing this game has going for it. like overall it's still lumines and it's not awful, going from remastered to this just kinda sucked.

I did not enjoy this. I don't recall why. I know I generally don't like games similar to Tetris much, so that has something to do with it.

It's Lumines with a soundtrack someone might actually recognize, and a damn good one at that too! Everything else feels off compared to the other games, and the gamemode based content is lacking. But it's still worth your time to at least play through Voyage mode and listen to all the beats you can manage.

The best version of Lumines. Best music, best mechanics, best skins. Fight me.

Great Tetris-like rhythm game from Q Entertainment with a bangin' soundtrack.

The Chemical brothers song alone justifies its existence. Otherwise not a whole lot going for it.

A fantastic puzzle game, upbeat soundtrack, and great presentation, although the back tapping on the Vita is annoying.
