Lumnis (PC) (Demo)

20240218:
This demo is hands down the worst demo of all the demos I've played for the recent Next Fest. The intro was a series of pictures which passed by slowly. I made the effort of watching it hoping that it had some interesting story, but there was none (well it seems the player character dreamed of some symbol and then scaled a mountain to find the symbol, but somehow found himself stuck in a cave.

A screenshot of nothing - a reflection of my experience with the demo.

The first part of the game features gameplay that reminded me of the original Tomb Raider, but not nearly as satisfying. So not only did the graphics in this demo feel dated, but the gameplay felt like a joke. I couldn't help but think that the gam's developer was just making the game as a joke.

Due to how bad the game felt, I gave up. I then went to the Steam store page and was surprised to see a video trailer that looked nothing like what I was playing. The trailer showed an armored character fighting enemies, ice climbing up large walls, and other very cool looking experiences. As such, I find the demo was a huge disappointment.
