Full review on my website: https://www.nepikigaming.com/reviews/lumo/

''I won’t deny that I was disappointed by the game not even looking close to the cute cover art it has, but I was able to look past that in favour of finding a capable modern isometric adventure. The isometric perspective was handled fairly well for the most part, only working against me in a minimal amount of situations. While the main character wasn’t really capable of much himself, the different amount of puzzle rooms and references to other forms of media kept the game mostly fresh. The quality of the puzzles themselves were alright, but I really disliked how the game forced arbitrary waiting on you very often. While far from required, this game is definitely anti-completionist with no backtracking and a lot of one-chance moments. Combine that with a map that is just not good and my experience overall ended up being frustrating not necessarily because of the gameplay itself, but because of how punishing it is towards people who want to do everything the game has to offer.''
