Lumo
Witness the rebirth of a genre in Lumo – a classic isometric adventure with a modern twist for gamers young and old alike! As a contemporary take on the long-lost isometric platform genre, Lumo can be enjoyed by anyone looking for an absorbing, challenging and rewarding adventure. But for those who lived through the golden age of videogames – the 80s and early 90s – or know about the games and culture from that time, layer upon layer of nods, winks and touches to those times help build upon an experience that’s as heart-warming as it is exciting! With over 400 rooms across four unique zones, six hidden mini-games and all kinds of secrets to uncover, Lumo is a true voyage of discovery. How much you discover just depends on how hard you look…

I have zero affinity to what Lumo is paying homage to but I still had a great time; Apparently, it's very British?
It's very mysterious and it doesn't try to explain anything, and while I had a lot of trouble with the camera, it wasn't enough to stop me from enjoying it till the end. It can get pretty maddening at times though.
It's just a cool puzzle platformer that doesn't overstay its welcome.

first 2/3rds of the game is baby easy and the last 1/3 is the only part I would call a game
missable collectables are a thing too, a thing that I personally find unpleasant
however it was nice to play a platformer with simple controls where I couldn't slide dash backflip airhop spindash double jump into outer space
also I signed up for woah wonky depth perception issues, and I got that
fell through the floor (out of bounds) the first 10 seconds of playing the game and almost refunded on the spot out of 10

It took me years to finally come around and beat this game, a fun but frustrating experience.
For a game that relies a lot on precision platforming, the controls are pretty poor. Some of the puzzles can be bugged/glitched in ways they shouldn't. While the isometric angle is quite a cool and nice looking feature, it does tend to obscure your wizard dude behind obstacles and level geometry, making it hard to see where you are.
Despite all the negatives however, I would still recommend giving it a go. It's fairly cheap, and has a nice dungeon crawler atmosphere, fun puzzles, TONS of hidden collectibles, etc.
