00:00Lumines Arise does for this falling block puzzler as Tetris Effect did for Tetris.
00:05Thanks to playing hours of this unique block puzzler, I can see its own shapes forming
00:10when I close my eyes.
00:12These endless falling squares aren't just lonely blocks, but chunks of corners yearning
00:17to connect before bursting.
00:20Pros include fantastic presentation, simple rules that hide incredible depth, and catchy
00:25beats match this musical puzzler's rules well.
00:28On the downside, the visuals can sometimes be distracting, and burst mode is a little
00:35unintuitive.
00:36Overall, it's an excellent evolution of the PSP original that uses a wide game board and
00:41a musical wipe to create a constant sense of teetering on the edge, daring you to build big
00:46combos even when they take you close to wiping out.
00:50Lumines Arise's brilliant visuals and synesthetic grooves wonderfully fit this already musically-minded
00:55puzzle ruleset.
