Planet of Lana was a surprising game for me that I definitely didn’t expect to enjoy as much as I did. While I didn’t review it, I played it later on and really fell in love with its world and characters. The way Wishfully was able to display character emotions with simple character models was fantastic.

Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf is a remarkable game that builds on and develops the foundations of the original. Similar to its predecessor, it tells an emotive, personal story that instantly immerses you. The scope expands as you journey farther afield. Gameplay improvements elevate the adventure, introducing greater puzzle variety and tense cinematic sequences that complement one another perfectly. Though relatively short, it’s a stunning journey that will resonate long after the credits roll.

Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf isn't a massive leap in terms of storytelling, and the core puzzle-platforming gameplay remains. However, it's still a well-rounded experience with appreciable characters.

Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf is an auditory and visual masterpiece. The clash of machine and nature may be an old trope, but it results in a beautiful aesthetic and soundscape. As for the gameplay, the puzzle-solving is passable, but the lack of replayability may turn some away.
