LUMEN iOS, PEGI: 3

-

LUMEN’S unique puzzle mechanics focus on light, lenses and mirrors, rotating and manipulati­ng a quickly expanding raft of objects to complete each level.

Stages become progressiv­ely challengin­g but not frustratin­gly so. What sets Lumen apart from other puzzle-led games is its strong graphical art, voices and a bit of a story, to make it more than “just another puzzle”.

In this case, the puzzles are kept in an antique box belonging to Ms Olivia McLumen, who lived in Scotland more than a hundred years ago. It’s not a crucial detail, but it’s a nice one all the same, giving extra depth to the game’s experience.

The last word: Satisfying and addictive puzzle title boosted by focus on art and story.

Price: £4.99 per month with Apple Arcade
