Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Choice
State of Play’s brilliant adventure game lets you journey through a spellbinding paper world that has to be seen to be believed. Created in a complex process that’s part origami and part stop motion, Lumino City’s highly polished environments come to life like nothing you’ve ever seen. But it’s not just the backdrops that captivate—this unique point-and-click adventure melds clever puzzles with a heartwarming story to powerful effect.
Charming , delightful , skilful
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.
Lovely design
On the whole I enjoyed the game and really appreciate the craftsmanship that went into its design. The only thing I would say is that it’s a bit difficult to play it on your phone because of the lengthy conversations you need to read the main character has with all other people she meets on her way. Some of the conversations are sort of funny but long but they don’t bring anything to the game. You are stuck there in the middle of the new task for a couple of minutes waiting till they finish. I found it slightly irritating to the point when I was dreading another dialogue. Also what if someone doesn’t even speak English and can’t read the dialogues? It limits the game’s audience.
I never really got over the chapter with the house that you have to turn around. It’s a genius concept but the detail is too small to play on my phone.
It’s a game for a big screen and the rare moments in your life when you have plenty of time to sit back, read everything and appreciate all the quirks.
