planet of lana 2 children of the leaf

Theres a whole planet to save, and yet Im still most worried about that cute little creature beside me. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3806198082 This sequel to [b]Planet of Lana[/b] puts you back in the tribal slippers of Lana, a young girl exploring a world full of beauty [I]and danger[/I]. Always by your side is Mui, your adorable monkey-cat-like companion who helps you solve puzzles. That is, when she's not making the cutest meeps and purrs to melt your heart [b]♡[/b] If you havent played the first game yet, [b]Id recommend starting there[/b]. Getting to know these two from the beginning makes their next adventure mean so much more. This time, the story digs deeper into Mui's past, the robots that arrived on the planet, and the tribes who call it home. Youll learn more about how it all connects and how the machines have changed life for the people living there. Theres more going on behind that cute little creature than you might expect. . . Mui also has a few new tricks up her paws. She can now take control of certain native creatures, letting you use their abilities to find paths and solve puzzles. It adds some fun variety to the teamwork. Beyond those additions, the game sticks close to what made the first one work, and Im happy with that. Not every sequel needs to reinvent the wheel when the journey is still this good. It feels like the next chapter these characters deserve, with a story that kept me invested and a world I loved spending more time in. Im already hoping we get a [I]third[/I] game someday!! [B]Steam Deck:[/b] Perfect for the Steam Deck! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3806197630 [B]Highly recommended ♡[/b] Petting that cute little creature was a big boost to my happiness. If you like feel good side scrolling adventure games, this one might be for you too.

Let me put things straight: Planet of Lana 2 is LITERALLY just a continuation of the first game… So, QUITE LITERALLY, expect A LOT of the same stuff that you either love/hate from the first game such as: The same old [i]absolute cinema[/i] experience of watching a movie in a language that you [i]absolutely[/i] have no idea what they’re saying but that you can only deduce what they’re trying to convey through their body language and voice tones, expect the mostly same old puzzle-platforming gameplay, and expect the same old roster of characters from the first game… Though, obviously, there’s gonna be some new additions to this game here and there as per usual to sequels like how the story shifts from being “inspired” by War Of The Worlds to being “inspired” by basically Avatar (the blue one, not the one where it takes 6 guys to slowly levitate a single rock), a few more interesting puzzle mechanics like a new fish blob thingy you can possess to help on many of the water levels in this game, a white fluff blob thingy that you can possess to quite literally create a gunpowder trail, and a flying ballsack bug thingy that can suck water dry, a few more characters that awfully feels like they’re just there just to push our main character into a story direction that the writers wanted, AND a few more interesting twist and turns that makes you go from “Wait, why they’re framing towards this insignificant scene/moment from the first game?” to then later “OHHHHHHHHHHH”... So, yea… While there’s some interesting gameplay additions and some few interesting twists and turns in the story that I personally feel quite impressive here and there, it’s LITERALLY just the same old cinematic puzzle platformer that you’ve played before, whether you like it or not… But I think one major gripe I have with this one compared to the previous game is how they kinda lost the plot of what made the first one an enjoyable experience, to me… And that is? Well, It’s the fact that the first game is pretty much a self-contained story with its own resolution and conclusion. Instead, in Planet of Lana 2, what we got REALLY feels like it’s a “filler” or a “bridge” episode since the game ends on a cliffhanger which subsequently makes you feel like you’re kinda “forced” to look forward to the obvious sequel (or sequels) that they’re planning [strike]to milk[/strike] for in future instalments… And, as a person who absolutely abhors pieces of media that [i]constantly[/i] do cliffhangers, I hate how Planet of Lana 2 went in that direction… Cause, unlike other forms of media like a streaming series or a movie, games LITERALLY takes years for them to get made and release. Which, by then, my hype or at least my memory of where the story had left off most likely weaned off… Which is not a good thing, in my books. In the end, though, Planet of Lana 2 is still a pretty enjoyable game to me. It looks gorgeous, the puzzles are engaging, the new mechanics are interesting, and the story has some cool revelations that the first game had left off. Just that… the ONE and ONLY thing that’s wrong with it… is that: it should’ve REALLY been called "Planet of Lana 1.5", man… Smh 🤔

Planet of Lana II is a fun and whimsical romp though a gorgeous alien planet. While the first game is more memorable and unique in terms of narrative, this sequel is not disappointing, and carries on a more action-focused traditional plot. The game is chill with simplistic gameplay. It's a wonderful way to wind down an evening. The music and art-direction are quite literally out-of-this-world. I recommend this game to anyone searching for a relaxing and beautiful time, while still looking for some narrative substance.
