Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. If you’ve played Monument Valley, you know exactly what to expect. Relumine is a competent, if slightly derivative, puzzle game. The mirror mechanic for rotating the world is clever and leads to some 'aha!' moments, but I found the movement speed a bit too sluggish for my liking.
The art is beautiful—very pastel and dreamlike—and the lack of dialogue works in its favor. However, it feels a bit brief, and the challenge level never quite ramps up to where I’d like it to be. It’s a pleasant afternoon distraction, but it doesn't leave a lasting impression once the credits roll. It’s a safe bet for puzzle fans, just don't expect a revolution.
