LUNARK Reviews
This pretty cool throwback to the age of classic cinematic adventures like Out of This World (and others) is a retro treat
Lunark does an excellent job mimicking cinematic platformers of the ‘90s to its benefit but also to its detriment, resulting in a solid sci-fi tale that can be a bit too frustrating at times.
Canari Games delivered a little gem of a video game. Its obvious LUNARK was crafted with love and respect for everything that's been done in the genre before. It's visually stunning, very easy to jump in and the platforming phases offer plenty of variety. While one could say it’s a little bit short, I prefer saying the game doesn’t get unnecessarily long. When I will think back on the year 2023, LUNARK will definitely be high on my list of games I've really enjoyed.

LUNARK is a tribute to classics like Prince of Persia and Flashback that will delight fans of these games and the cinematic platform subgenre. But he is not satisfied with just paying homage to the heavyweights he refers to, but at the same time tries to differentiate himself with his own personality and approach, and he succeeds. It's fair to say that maybe LUNARK isn't a game for everyone due to its demands and sub-genre characteristics, but given the chance, we're going to love it.

If you like a Flashback or Another World throwback title that kindles your nostalgia, go ahead and jump into Lunark. It'll keep you sated for a few hours with its lush pixel artwork and quirky puzzle-and-platforming gameplay. However, I cannot recommend this title to anyone else looking for a standard and modern 2D gaming experience, because Lunark is purposely designed for that specific 90s mindset.
LUNARK was a game I had never heard of a day before this review, and I loved my time with it. A beautifully realized throwback look is mixed with fun gameplay and an incredible soundtrack. For $20 if the premise sounds interesting to you then you should do yourself a favor and give this one a go.
