unlabelledView post →Game Review: Luma Island – The Pirate Update ⭐ 9/10 Oh Luma Island, you beautiful time-thief of a game — I went in for a “quick peek” and came out 60 hours later, completely hooked and finished the game. The new Pirate Update adds even more charm to an already delightful world, and I’m not even mad about the sleep I lost. Let’s get this out of the way first: UNLIMITED. INVENTORY. Truly a blessing from the game dev heavens. Whoever decided to bless us with that feature deserves a medal.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked playing this game for about 10 hours, and it is really fun and pretty in terms of visuals and interface. But it didn't take long for me to discover that Luma Island is in fact quite shallow, and to be completely honest did feel a bit like an early access game to me. So it wasn't worth the 20 euros for me, sorry. There is a town with shops and npc's, but their quests and conversations are so shallow that I found myself avoiding them. The main game mechanic is upgrading your professions…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s a great game to play with your wife’s boyfriend. Wonderful game, and hands down my favorite multiplayer experience with my wife’s boyfriend. The ability to work together on some things and separate on others is fantastic! My work has been extremely stressful lately in terms of mental load and I like to wind down with stuff that doesn't require me to think. I quite enjoy the mobile game esque loop but as one might imagine it often comes bundled with exploitative in-app purchases so I…

unlabelledView post →I'm a girl who loves and is interested in the Arabic language, but unfortunately, in some of the game's Arabic characters, when you speak to them, like the Copts or in the island missions, the text is reversed. It hasn't been fixed for ages. Please fix this because I love it so much; it's my favorite game. I hope you'll take this into consideration. I'm young and still learning English, but I'm not fluent yet. Please consider my situation. Thank you. Love you, Loma.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Doing Chores: the Game... Take all the soul out of Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing and you get Luma Island. The game starts strong, there is stuff to do, a new thing to explore, a puzzle to solve, but once you finish the first biome or two, you realize you are just repeating the same thing you did in the last one, but resources have a different color now. The more you progress through a chosen profession, the more the game stalls you - the item prices get inflated, upgrades are hard to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Luma Island devs spent an 'enormous amount of effort' to make it smooth on Steam Deck
unlabelledView post →This game is beautiful but it is seriously so boring. Quests are way too linear leaving no point to exploration or playing creatively on your own. Its a cozy game for maybe like a 10 year old but there is no interesting story or engaging gameplay.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Luma Island is slowly changing my stance on land development because now every time I went in game and saw a plot full of trees I go "Hmm I COULD deforest that area for new farmland..."
unlabelledView post →This is more like a 50/50 thumbs down, but this game simply commits the cardinal sin of being boring as hell in my opinion. It's a bit crazy to me that Stardew is the main inspiration for so many games like this, yet they still fail to capture the true essence of what made that game so great to begin with. Anyway, here are a few bullet points of my gripes with the game so far: - I love this genre of game for its lore, characters and mystery, all of which are extremely lacking in substance…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stardew Valley style games - step aside and bow before the greatness of this game! I LOVE many things - NO ENERGY bars, No BEDTIME. Just explore to your hearts content, go ahead, get yourself lost gathering things on day 1, and let it be day 10 before you find your house again and progress the story. This game is all that, plus a HUGE world with tresaure to find, puzzles to solve, food to cook, a town to repair, and there is NO SET TIME LIMITS. It is the most epic of styles that totally…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing Luma Island! Very comfy game 🌱
unlabelledView post →The game is extremely generic. You see most of the content in the first hour, all next levels will have *exactly* the same materials, recipes, puzzles and all other mechanics - the only difference is different color for next tier items. Even gear is tuned to perform exactly the same at the start of each tier if you had fully upgraded it on the previous tier.

unlabelledView post →Luma Island feels like a poor fit for anyone coming from games such as Story of Seasons, My Time at Portia/Sandrock, Stardew Valley, or Graveyard Keeper. If you enjoy those games because they keep introducing meaningful systems, upgrades, automation, and reasons to keep progressing, I would honestly stay away from this one. The gameplay loop quickly becomes repetitive: build a table, process materials, sell the result, then repeat. The professions may have different themes, but they all feel…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an interesting game in that I can see the arguments for and against it, and I think people should fully understand what they'll be getting before going into it. This is classified as a cosy game, and it is, to its core. That means there is no stamina to cut days short, no hit points, no inventory limits, and as such no real stakes at play. Now, you can certainly have cosy games where there are fail states and game loops that require a bit more from the player, but that isn't what this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Note: Attempting Vanilla before trying pirates, review subject to change. Has potential, successfully uses none of it. Note, if you want a simple, grindy game to pass the time, this may be the game for you. The graphics are good, the controls nice, the exploration decent. However, in fails on the fundamental level to have meaningful interactions between the professions or to make the professions meaningful. Allow me to establish a basic gameplay loop: Grind for materials Process them into…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Luma Island is another entry in the long line of recent cozy farming-style games. What initially caught my attention was its claim that it removes stamina limits and inventory restrictions. That immediately stood out, as these mechanics, while adding strategy and progression, can often feel tedious, forcing players to cut days short or make repeated trips just to manage resources. Naturally, this raised a concern: without those limitations, would the game be quick to breeze through?…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Feel Free Games has released a rather nice game with Luma Island, but unfortunately, it has and continues to have weaknesses. The graphics and style are positive aspects; it's cutely animated, and the co-op mode is also nice, although it has its flaws. For example, my wife can join me on the farm and go on adventures with me, but achievements don't count for her. There are professions, but apart from the shipbuilder, they only serve to earn money and quickly become boring. In the vanilla game,…

unlabelledView post →A girl on Instagram was showing her cozy setup. I asked the title of the game she was playing and BOOM, I was introduced to Luma Island. It's all I've ever wanted from a cozy game: there's a ton of things to do, it's cute and absolutely not frustrating. I can't believe that I never heard of this game, the definition of a hidden gem.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Luma Island is a fascinating experiment. This game invites you to indulge in the familiar trappings of all of your favorite farming/life sim titles with the quality of life features cranked to the maximum -- and whether that is to its compliment or detriment is entirely up to you and what you personally enjoy. Tool and item durability? Non-existent. Stamina? Infinite. Sleep? Completely optional. Inventory Management? Your backpack expands infinitely as you add items to it! Combat? Well, yes,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple. Cozy. Amazing with a small group containing newer gamers. Even my 6 year old enjoys it now that she's able to read.

unlabelledView post →Luma Island Game Review (Dislcaimer - This is just my opinion and may be unpopular or disliked.) (General) 1. This is a Cozy Exploration Adventure Game. 2. The story is that you have to discover the secret of a place called Luma Island. (Positive) 1. It really stayed true to being cozy and was just all round relaxing to play. 2. The world, animals and even your own character is very cute and well done. 3. There is lots to do in the game asside from just the story and exploring as there are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to love this game because the world is beautiful and exploring it is fun but that’s really all it has to offer. I was excited when I saw that it has unlimited inventory until I realized that it wouldn’t be playable if it didn’t. You get dozens of different types of currencies/tokens and then each area is a rinse and repeat of the same set of resources in different themes so progressing basic profession equipment is just locked behind special types of wood. The brewing profession is so…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Premise: Luma Island is one of the coziest farming and crafting games around, with an exceptional sound design! You'll start your farm on the city outskirts and casually move your way up through four different regions, each offering a wider variety of enemies and resources to acquire. As a newcomer to the island, you act as a bit of an Indiana Jones, uncovering the secrets of the land as you progress to collect buried treasures and quirky Lumas - mysterious pets that hold a deeper secret for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you hate the Night and day cycle of Stardew valley/energy system this is the game for you very cozy! Will update when I finish getting everything ;-;
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Infinite Inventory is worthy of a positive review. Solid game more exploration based then sit on the farm and watch crops.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My partner and I love this game. We actually are having trouble finding a similar game to move to since playing Luma. We tried multiple other cozy co-op sim life games, but we keep coming back to this one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Eepy & sore but that's not stopping this Doggo, I can feel myself pulling out of the slump and I want to be cozy with you all~ We'll be starting with Luma Island and enjoying it with my cute skunktaur friend Harry and then later a brand new game to the channel~ www.twitch.tv/screamingdoggo
unlabelledView post →Omg, I'm so sad to see the demo end! 😅 Great quality of life things for a cozy game, like easy fast travel and petting/befriending all animals. You choose jobs like crafter or adventurer that earn you money, similar to Luma Island. I can't wait to play more once EA is out in 2026! 😭 #StarsandIsland

unlabelledView post →I generally recommend this one. Its a reasonably straight forward 'cozy' harvest/crafting game and has a few things that make the game easy to play, such as infinite backpack space and no need to sleep. There are a few quirks that might put you off if you're into this genre: - The NPCs aren't very charming or memorable. Mid-to-late game I avoided talking to them because many are very wordy with very little to say. - The Luma creatures themselves are uninteresting and don't do a whole…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perfect for a cosy game, removes all normal barriers present in many others. No stamina, infinite inventory and no time restraints when having to complete things
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game gets very tiring, repetitive and tedious by the time you unlocked the mountain. (20 hours in). Now with cloud save issues as well so I am stuck repeating a section over and over. No other game in my library is having any cloud issues
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I saw this promo on reddit and thought my steam featured/discovery queue was on par with survival, crafting, open worlds multiplayer and solo play games release alerts. I was wrong as a 20+ year steam vet. These folks promoted it outside the bubble and I have loved this game playing solo and still playing now. Quick and simple response... Game is well optimized. Graphics are smooth and fit the experience. Sound and controller support is well developed and universally supportive. Gameplay and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Luma Island is such a cozy solo game. Farming and mining are super relaxing, and I really enjoy being able to design my own island the way I want it. The professions system adds even more depth, whether you focus on farming, fishing, mining, cooking, or other skills. It’s the perfect game to unwind, play at your own pace, and make the island truly yours.

unlabelledView post →Very relaxed game, no rush to do anything, no relationships, no festivals, just farm, fish, build :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR: The overall feeling I keep coming back to is that this game was made to distract somebody's kid, its mountains of easily accomplished challenges to keep them satiated until their birthday runs around and they want a different game, its not a very inspired game, it doesn’t change much over its contemporaries. The music is very very good though. Its like someone took Stardew valley and stapled 4 copies together. 3.5/10 I'm not usually negative about games, unless I need to be for…

unlabelledView post →More grind than a stripping pole and more padding than a diaper. If you've purchased the game and are unimpressed by the first couple hours of gameplay, refund the game immediately because it never gets any better. The whole gameplay loop can be summarized as "gather x number of items to craft y recipe that you will then sell" so you just know it's going to be chock-full of unnecessary padding as a gameplay mechanic. Devs have even intentionally kept your character movement slow in an attempt…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing Luma Island for the second time [before & after pirate update]. Playing solo and really enjoying both playthroughs. The pirate update is quite good and the map is challenging in a good way. It can get a bit grindy in the end, but that'll depend if you want to Master all the professions. I don't mind grinding a bit. This game is perfect for a binge play session or to hop in for an hour to do a few small tasks and resource collecting. If you like exploring, puzzles, crafting and…

unlabelledView post →Excellent game! Perfect for couples or people who have children who are getting into gaming. I played on adventure mode with my husband and we had a great time. It does have a way to turn off spiders if you are afraid of them or if you have children who would be scared. 10/10 Amazing. Great story, wonderful playthrough. Some cons: I do wish it did have larger storage and if your partner makes it through a dungeon door, you do too. The shops need to sell more items like once you plant…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is honestly very pretty. The games objectives are a bit random and for the most part very grindy. There is no carry limit (at least on the normal difficulty), there is no energy and your character does not pass out after a certain time. This is the perfect game to chat and catch up with a friend, listen to a podcast or some music and watch a stream, video or even a movie while running around and collecting resources,. It is a very chill game that you can pick up for a bit and come…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Final Review: The New Gold Standard for the Genre (100% Achievements / 78 Hours) Hands down the best game I've played in this genre! After 78 hours and completing every single achievement, my initial impressions haven't just held up, they’ve been solidified. Luma Island is a masterclass in how to evolve the cozy/farming sim genre by trimming the fat and focusing on what makes gameplay actually fun. Why it dominates the genre: What sets this game apart is how it respects the player's time and…
