When the sound effects layer on top of the music, and you start picking up on other audio cues the game does... it's 🤯

Every. Little. Thing in Lumines Arise has a sound. Turn off the music and leave SFX on to hear how connected the audio is to in-game actions / mechanics—and listen for cues you haven't noticed!
👂 How many can you identify?
Out for PS5 and Steam on 11/11/25. Preorder/wishlist now. lumines.game

Dang. This review makes me wanna try this one. 🧐
Arc Raiders is one of the best multiplayer games I’ve ever played. It’s a memory-making machine with no off switch.
This is my 4,000-word review on how it’s pure magic.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,
it is right.

Do not worry too much about being "good" at Lumines. Just focus on making Squares, and you'll be fine. The timeline is light time pressure too, but...
I recommend going into Missions and trying Training to help "click" into how to use certain block types and explore the mechanics more deeply.

All you need to know to get started with Lumines Arise in two easy steps:
1. Form 2x2 Squares (or larger) of a single color/pattern
2. Repeat step 1 while vibing out 🤘
Play the demo & wishlist on PS5 and Steam today, game out 11/11/25

I cannot...*ahem* STRESS enough how cool this accessibility setting in Lumines Arise is for anyone who gets a little too much anxiety in a block-dropping puzzle game, and just wants to enjoy the vibes.
You can tune it to your liking!

Did you know❓
Lumines Arise's Accessibility settings have a customizable "No-Stress Lumines" option to ease anxiety you might get from playing a fast-paced, block-dropping puzzle game!
Side note: shouldn't EVERYTHING have a "No-Stress" option? 😅
