The point I’m really getting at here is that Lumines Arise has a meditative-like quality to it. Lumines has always offered rich and vibrant soundtracks backed by gorgeous visuals and an incredibly intense, yet rewarding gameplay loops. Lumines Arise is the ultimate realisation of that vision, and quite possibly the greatest puzzle game I’ve ever played.

Lumines Arise is an expressive, compelling puzzle game that manages to provide a carefully created experience that merges together sound, visuals and gameplay. It’s a spectacle of lights, colors and sounds that continues to be enthralling for long bursts. There are very few projects like it on the market, and it’s an easy recommendation for anyone who loves puzzles and contemporary music.

Lumines Arise takes a block building classic, adds a splash of psychedelic firework paint and an absolute banger of a soundtrack, leaving us with a game destined to become an all-timer.

With Lumines Arise, Monstars and Enhance show once more how to bring a timeless classic to the modern era without breaking the mold. The trusted gameplay of Lumines shines brighter than ever, accompanied by stellar visuals and a banger EDM soundtrack. The less than optimal readability of certain levels is the only thing worth puzzling over, but that's a small obstacle to clear.

A deep, demanding and hypnotic puzzle game that blends music and gameplay into one seamless flow. Lumines Arise isn’t for everyone, but once it grabs you, it becomes impossible to let go.
Nov 11, 2025
The first brand-new entry in the series since 2012, Lumines Arise retains everything that made it a success and delivers a synesthetic experience in which music, visuals, and gameplay blend together to immerse the player in what’s happening on screen. At the same time, the simplicity of what’s offered can leave the impression that something is missing from the experience — especially when it comes to the variety of challenges.

Lumines Arise brings you way back in years, to a time of audiovisual ferment like we never saw after. With it, though, comes an entire set of forgotten memories that shine a deeper light into what we remember and how we do it. We tend to remember only the best or the worst, but not the in-between, which is where most of the unsatisfactory experiences reside, and this game resurrects exactly those. Unlike any other Mizuguchi game, it stagnates in a nostalgic field, so far away from reality that it lives completely outside of our time. It can capture you for hours, but it feels more like some sort of prison within the self than an exchange between user and videogame.
