Organization: State of Play

At a time when next-gen video game visuals have reached a seemingly impassable peak, it's increasingly difficult to sell a game solely on graphics. Something extra special needs to be pulled off, with effects and ideas that are rarely explored, for a gaming experience to be essential based on the visual factor. Lume, a delightfully cute puzzler for PC and Mac, shows off some of the most interesting effects we've seen in a good while, with a world made entirely out of paper and cardboard, and real-life camera panning that cannot be beaten. Unfortunately, the gameplay cannot live up to its looks, with hopelessly obscure solutions and a rather abrupt playing time.
