I've never had that deep relationship with Lumines that so many peers have written about brilliantly - but Arise definitely feels like an amazing environment to learn to love it. Another stunning Hydelic score, too. Almost feels wrong playing something this funky in my drab living room.

Light, sound and haptics unite your senses. Feel the good vibes. Puzzle differently.
