Review

Luto offers a poignant journey through the intricacies of grief, deftly weaving together a story that resonates on a deeply personal level. The stunning visuals create a somber yet captivating world, drawing players into a realm that feels both familiar and otherworldly. However, while the emotional weight of its narrative is commendable, the gameplay can suffer from repetitiveness, making prolonged sessions feel laborious at times. The pacing can also haphazardly oscillate, occasionally pulling players out of the fluid experience. Nevertheless, Luto remains a thought-provoking title that engages the senses and offers moments of profound reflection, making it a worthy play for those who appreciate narrative-driven games.

Background information

Other reviewers have highlighted Luto's remarkable visual artistry and sound design, with many praising the game's ability to convey complex emotions without relying heavily on dialogue. However, criticisms have emerged regarding its gameplay mechanics feeling somewhat shallow and predictable, which might deter players seeking a more action-oriented experience.
