A beautiful puzzle-adventure with inspired mechanics
Wow. Relumine is an absolutely magical game experience. Beautiful art, fluid movement, a touching story, and some of the most unique and inspired mechanics I've ever seen in a game. If you love puzzle adventures, this one is top tier.
It encourages you to use your brain without causing unnecessary stress or anxiety. I think this is mostly due to the fact there's no "death" or frustrating timers artificially increasing difficulty, meaning you can take all the time you need to figure out the game's genius puzzles. "Genius" because they make you feel like a genius when you solve them, and yet they never feel unfair or overly convoluted.
Furthermore, the game's perspective-altering mechanics never get stale as they continue to evolve in organic ways. And with a runtime on the shorter side (just a few hours), the game doesn't overstay its welcome and leaves you wanting more (in the best of ways). I can't recommend Relumine enough. It's literally a steal for the price. 10/10
