The preview event for Lumines Arise captivated the reviewer, who, despite a professional interest in interviewing the team behind the game, chose to play more. The participant experienced about 30 minutes of gameplay, including a mix of four pre-made songs and additional tracks. The game features a Journey mode that allows players to create custom setlists. The songs were visually engaging and enjoyable, indicating a promising direction for the Lumines series. Overall, the experience left the reviewer eager for the game’s release.
I left the preview event wishing that somehow the next entry in the Lumines series was back at my hotel, loaded up on my Steam Deck.
During the preview event, I played through a pre-made playlist of four songs followed by another playlist with two additional songs, making for around 30 minutes of Lumines Arise goodness.
The mode I played essentially allows players to construct their own setlists by selecting songs from the game's main story, referred to as Journey mode.
Even out of context, the songs were visually delightful, memorable, and, most importantly, a lot of fun.
