Demo up (again) on the PS store. Missed the demo the first time around. Looks insane. Final version supports PSVR2! Demo also on PC via Steam (I think).

Will be giving this a try tonight I think. Love these type of games and loved the original Lumines back on the PSP all those years ago this has potential to be awesome especially the new Blast mode.

Due 11th November. Ready to give some light to those cold dark winter nights!

I was pretty lost on the original Lumines, I suspect I'm screwed on this!

Looks and sounds lovely though.

Demo also out on Steam:

Apparently hoping to be Deck verified for launch...

That looks lively. I remember liking Lumines on PSP but not quite understanding the adulation it got.

It has things in common with Chime: drop pieces into place whilst racing against the scanning beam, with music as an integral part.

Had a go on this earlier! Wow it's certainly an assault on the senses. Sometimes a challenge to see the colours of the pieces at times but it does get easier the more time you spend on it. Need to give it a try with the headphones later. Shame VR mode isn't enabled on the PlayStation demo I expect this will work really well in VR.

I will probably pick up on PS5 due to Tetsuya Miziguchi and PSVR2 loyalty. Downloaded demo on Steam Deck and I seem to be as shit as I ever was at it. I'm just not very good at puzzle games. I was pretty hopeless at the beautiful Tetris Effect as well. If only the pieces came from the furthest end of a tunnel and I could just shoot them instead...

I do wish Miziguchi and pals would do something shooty again - Rez is still one of my all-time favourite games; level 1 of that, in or out of VR, is one of the best video game experiences I have ever had. Child of Eden was excellent in 3D on PS3, and the last version of Every Extend - Every Extend Extra Extreme - the Xbox 360 one - was absolutely brilliant - one of the greatest "In The Zone" games. What I wouldn't give for a VR version of that. Mind you, Akka Arrh does come close to scratching that particular itch.
