This week I've been playing Lumines Remastered on PC. I dumped so many hours into the original one on PSP. The port is very faithful to the original while also adding some nice updates to make it home on PC.

I did have a weird issue where having Vsync enabled made the controls hyper sensitive but turning it off fixed that.

I also don't have much time to game these days so it's nice to be able to pick up a quick, low commitment game that's still engaging.

I played the Switch version a bit a few years ago, really fun puzzle game and the Switch version did some nice things with its HD Rumble.

The Switch is a great form factor to play on. I always thought the game felt more natural in the hands than on a big screen but maybe that's just because I first played it on the PSP. There's a sequel that just came out last year which looks great. Will be a future entry for my patient gaming list
