I feel like a lot of the negative reviews I've seen here have the wrong notion of what the game is. If you are looking for Stardew or Harvest Moon-like experience where you balance time, resources, and relationships; this is not the game for you. If you are looking for something that is more chill like Animal Crossing (New Horizons specifically) but with the basic functionally of farming, mining, and exploration (puzzles are easy but fun) then this IS that game. I have greatly enjoyed my time exploring, running dungeons, grinding resources and designing a cozy farm. I like the stress free experience of spending in game days in a mine without worrying about passing out or losing my harvest. I like exploring the maps for every chest and book or whatever other secrets each biome might hide. And most importantly, the art in this game is incredible. It is beautiful, colorful, calming and makes you look forward to every new biome Bonus: Co-op is well implemented so its super fun to just hang out with friends and fish or mine together.

PROS: -Game is very pretty; all the areas are nicely designed (honestly, I love the environments). -No stamina/forced sleep requirements -Very fluid coop multiplayer (probably the best way to play this) -Puzzle/exploration focus of the maps make it interesting to explore -The ruins areas have some neat little puzzles and traps CONS: -The only use for farmed/crafted items is to sell for cash; no synergies between abilities and crafts -No interior house decorating options -No complex social mechanics or events with the town/NPCs -Leveling your professions doesn't unlock any new mechanics or buffs -Can't name yourself, your pets, or customize your appearances after creation. My opinion is that Luma Island still feels underbaked. If the devs can build on the current framework there could be something unique here, but overall the game is missing some spark to raise it above just being a casual time-killer if you don't have another option. Depending on how in-depth of a game you're looking for, the casual level of gameplay here may still be enjoyable for you, though. The Devs have been VERY open and responsive to player feedback, and are working on implementing different difficulty modes so people can adjust the challenges ingame in various ways, so it shows that they want the game to succeed and want to invest in its future, which is a good sign. Overall I wish I could give the game a 'neutral' rating because I DO think there is potential here, and obviously many people are enjoying what it has to offer, though if you want a deep social/farm sim this isn't it -- Luma Island's gameplay is far more similar to Minecraft than to Stardew Valley.

I am enjoying my time at Luma Island quite a lot, but I have to admit it isn't what I expected exactly. I first learned of it through cozy related videogame channels that focus more on farming sims and similar games. I would not call Luma Island a farming sim, nor would I call it a cozy game. Sure, I find it cozy, but it isn't what you can now expect from the 'genre'. Instead, Luma Island resembles Valheim, Terraria and Minecraft in its resource gathering and cooperative gameplay loop. You get stuff to make more stuff, but also explore a mysterious place and solve puzzles, overcome challenges and also collect these cute critters called Lumas, for which you'll be collecting more stuff to have them live on your farm with you. The multiplayer is absolutely seamless, works super well, and the solo play is good too. The art direction is GORGEOUS. Running through the compact but well designed town is pure joy. The whole game is in that regard. The fact that it's a less obtuse and prettied co-op gathering game helps when filling a gap between more hardcore experiences and the cozier ones. Luma Island isn't particularly difficult, it does respect your intelligence, but it's quite forgiving. I found the NPCs funny, and I like their sardonic lines. I also like that I don't have to build relationships with the a la other farming sims, just to distance itself a little more from other games, but I would like more quests, more puzzles and all of that good stuff. That said, becoming friendlier with the NPCs and giving them gifts would be cool to, really. All in all, I can recommend Luma Island and will continue playing it because it's cute, I love my worm tied to a ballon Luma and my dogs. For more reviews of games that are cozy, or creepy, or both, check out my curator page: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44079361/ Here are some things I believe would do wonders to enhance the experience: [*] make some of the crafteables consumable when logical, like food and beverages, and give the player the choice of selling them for gold or consuming them for temporary buffs. I'm annoyed at the fact that I can't eat the food I make. [*] give the player more customization options, don't gender lock clothing, accessories and facial hair because maybe someone wants to rock a full beard and also cosplay as Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle, let people have their fun in that regard. [*] make each Luma feel more unique by giving each of them a passive ability. I wouldn't go as far and remove the chest finding ability they all have, but I think that we could have some Lumas make you faster at mining, others faster at fishing, or luckier overall, or better at farming, that kind of stuff. As it stands, while cute, all of the Lumas and pets are practically the same. [*] more QoL for the inventory, like a 'remove or add' to the quick access bar button/command. I have to manually scroll through the inventory to free space from my quick access bar and that's the most annoying thing I've experienced in the game.

This is really cozy and chill. It's like stardew except you aren't limited by stamina or having to get back to your house at night, you can just go at your own pace, which I really like

The first thing you need to know about Luma Island is that it is NOT in the Stardew Valley or Harvest Moon genre of "cosy games." IMO, the best comparison for it is Fantasy Life on the NDS. Pros: - Lots of things to do; great for people who love to collect and grind items and achievements - Refined gameplay loop between the professions; great dopamine simulator - Art style is pleasing to the eye Cons: - Map is a bit *too* big - The targeting controls are wonky, and this game is very dense in terms of interacting with things so it's sometimes hard to target a specific object - Spiders are overturned AF. Upgrade your whip ASAP else these things will ruin your day Neutral: - No romance (not a con for me but might be of note to some people) Tips: - Rotate your camera often, it's very very easy to miss things if you only keep one view - Don't pick one of the harder professions first unless you really like a challenge. They're difficult for a reason lol - Plan your escape routes in the mines in case you need to get out quickly - Upgrade your tools. In games like SDV I often put this off but in Luma the tiers make a huge difference
