Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf successfully expands on its underrated first entry in nearly every way possible. It’s the perfect Empire Strikes Back to Planet of Lana’s New Hope: approachable, beautiful, and a great adventure worth taking.

It's not better than the first one, but overall it's a good game. It's suitable for jumping into the series at any point, and I can't let you miss the chance to see and play as Mui!

It sounds beautiful, looks stunning, and challenges your brain at every turn. It’s unlikely to win over players who were put off by the first game, but for fans of puzzle-platformers, it’s a must-play.

This game is amazing. It is even more cool than the 1st part. It has a beautiful mix of classic Prince of Persia, Flashback, Star Wars vibe.

Почему то разработчики решили что набить игру душнейшими головоломками будет отличной идеей. Приятная, красивая игра, но головоломки все руинят

Does a much better job than the first game in almost all aspects. The story is better, the moment to moment gameplay is more interesting. I still don't think it comes close to the other juggernauts in the genre, like Inside for instance. But, this does improve on the first game. You have a lot more vehicles/machines to use in puzzles as well as some animals. I will say, none of the puzzles in the game are particularly tricky or hard, so it feels kind of like busy work at times. The beginning of the game does drag a bit and feels too similar to the first game though. The story was 100x more engaging this time around, which was nice. The ending was much more satisfying, even if it was more open ended. I still think it needs something else to really push it forward, but this was a step in the right direction. While I gave the first game a 6, I think Planet of Lana II is a solid 7.5/10.

Planet of Lana 2 successfully expands the universe of its predecessor with deeper puzzles, richer environments and meaningful narrative answers. The journey of Lana and Mui remains visually stunning, supported once again by a beautiful soundtrack that strengthens the game’s emotional atmosphere. New abilities and environmental interactions make the puzzle design more complex and rewarding. While frequent cinematic interruptions occasionally break immersion, the overall experience remains captivating. It may not have the same surprise factor as the original, but it stands as a worthy and creative continuation.

If we had to define Planet of Lana 2 in one word, it would definitely be "maturity." The same maturity the development team has poured into this work, both in terms of story and gameplay, improving it in every aspect. Ultimately, the series is a little gem because, like its protagonist, it looks to the past with admiration while resolutely aiming for new directions in an adventure that still has much to tell.

A wonderful game, beautiful environments, a story that leaves the ending open for a third installment. New and very well-executed mechanics, especially the diving sections and the ability to control Mui. The environments have truly improved significantly; the forest, snow, and desert areas were particularly impressive, and with headphones, the ambient sound was especially noticeable—it was perfect. The puzzles are very accessible and well-designed. I loved this second part, and I can't wait to see what happens next. Thank you so much for this great work!

Despite not overhauling the companion-led gameplay at the core of Planet of Lana, this sequel does a tremendous job at expanding its universe, giving greater depth to its characters, and delivering another gorgeous, cinematic adventure that tugs at the heartstrings.

If you're looking for a cleverly balanced puzzle platformer with a great atmosphere and memorable characters, Planet of Lana II is the perfect choice. The rather subtle depiction of violence also makes the game interesting for families. However, Planet of Lana II doesn't offer any real challenges for hardcore puzzlers.

Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf delivers an aesthetically stunning and entertaining adventure with intelligent level design and a consistent pace. While its new mechanics integrate well, the experience remains largely predictable and too continuist, lacking the surprising moments needed to truly evolve the genre it inhabits.

Fans of Planet of Lana should not be disappointed by the second installment of this adventure, just a little frustrated by its episodic nature.

It's one of the best 2D puzzle platformers in recent years with a brilliant soundtrack, beautiful visuals, well designed puzzles and great, emotional story-telling. I honestly don't know why so few people know (and buy) these games. Based on the quality they should sell millions of copies.

没想到能出第二部。第一部玩的时候就很平淡，除了画风一无是处，这部更变本加厉了。全程谜语人，制作组不会以为玩家都能理解你们到底讲了什么故事吧？写了故事就翻译成人话，没写故事就别搞那么多莫名其妙的对话，也不知道叽里咕噜在哪说啥呢。
