From its winning art to its calming music and puzzle design, Luna has a lot going for itself.
An enchanting adventure that boasts some magical hand-drawn animation, but will inevitably leave some players perplexed.
I wanted to explore Luna's world and soak in its sights for hours. Many of its puzzles are rewarding, but a few stinkers mar the experience
Luna: The Shadow Dust is a lovely fable dressed up as a classic point and click adventure. The art direction, the visual style and the soundtrack are simply beautiful, while the gameplay mechanics convey in a solid way the path to the consciousness of the main character. The puzzles are gentle and interesting, but sometimes the game plays too much safe and it feels a little bit too light. Anwyay, Luna: The Shadow Dust let the players live a handful of heartwarming hours.

With all its puzzling adventures, out-of-the-box thinking, and stunning hand drawn visuals, it's a memorable game in its genre. Solving the puzzles offers such gratification that one looks forward to continuing climbing the tower and solving the next. But with a lack of a meaningful story, it lacks complete immersion from the player.
LUNA The Shadow Dust is a very sweet and heartfelt adventure with simple puzzles and pleasant animation, suffering from the slowness of the characters and not always obvious solutions to a particular problem. Anyway it is a great game that must be released on home and portable consoles.

LUNA The Shadow Dust is a magical point-and-click adventure with amazing hand-drawn backdrops and animations. Too bad the puzzles are trivial and the pacing is a bit messy.

Beyond the poetic eloquence of such delicate handmade animation and moving musical compositions, the main tour de force is hidden into the puzzles that subtly reflect the story's themes. A modest, yet humbling luminous piece of art.

Its point-and-click adventure elements eventually feel alternately rudimentary and more than a little tedious.
A lovingly animated and clever point-and-click which, despite issues with pacing and signposting, is still likely to capture many hearts.
