Luto is a masterful psychological horror experience that transforms grief into a living, breathing environment. Developed by Broken Bird Games, it delivers a deeply emotional and atmospheric journey that challenges players to confront loss through surreal landscapes, intricate puzzles, and haunting environmental storytelling. While it shares DNA with titles like P.T. and Visage, Luto carves out its own identity through bold narrative choices, exceptional audio-visual design, and a powerful sense of introspection. It is not only one of the most memorable horror games in recent years, but a standout achievement in how video games can explore emotional depth with intelligence and originality.

Luto is proof that video games can address difficult topics with delicacy and empathy, but also with a strength never seen before. It’s a horror that doesn’t frighten with monsters, but with the truth about human pain. And although it’s short, it resonates for a very, very long time.

Luto is a gripping and refreshingly bold take on psychological horror, blending clever environmental puzzles with a narrative that’s as unpredictable as it is emotionally resonant. Its looping design, oppressive atmosphere, and unsettling narration come together to create a game that constantly keeps you questioning what’s real and what isn’t, and whilst it is a relatively short experience, it’s one that’s packed with moments that feel both inventive and deeply haunting. For fans of horror that values atmosphere and ingenuity over cheap scares, Luto is a must-play, though be warned: it’s an experience that will linger in your mind long after you’ve escaped its twisting corridors.

Luto no solo cumple como ópera prima de Broken Bird Games, es que supera las expectativas. Se trata de un experiencia profunda, repleta de puzles elaborados, que se convierte en un imprescindible para todos aquel que se considere fan del terror.

Luto joins the ranks of divisive, artistically ambitious games—echoing the style of Hideo Kojima—with its metaphor-laden, psychological journey that, despite some visual flaws, lingers deeply and emotionally long after its surreal tale of isolation and acceptance ends.

Luto es uno de esos juegos que no gritan, pero que se quedan resonando dentro. Una obra contenida, íntima y tremendamente efectiva, que demuestra que el terror puede ser algo más que monstruos o oscuridad: puede ser el reflejo de nuestras heridas, nuestros silencios, nuestras pérdidas. Broken Bird Games ha conseguido con su ópera prima algo que muchos estudios más grandes ni siquiera se atreven a intentar: hablar de lo emocional desde el diseño interactivo.

With its intriguing narrative that keeps you on your toes and some genuinely creative puzzles, Luto is a first-person psychological horror game like no other. It has an important message, but its dark subject matter means that it perhaps isn't suitable for those sensitive to themes of depression and suicide.

For an independent studio’s debut game, Luto strongly delivers on Broken Bird Games’ ethos of delivering deep narrative experiences that reflect both their passion for video games but also great stories. Despite being a story about death, Luto has more on its mind than presenting melodrama. It’s incredibly unique, fantastic to look at, highly atmospheric, and poetically beautiful. Devoted to those who are no longer with us, and hoping to make a change in the world by humanising the struggles of living with mental illness, Luto stands as one of the most powerful games of the year. It’s transformative, evocative, and breaks form and conventions around how a game should be and how it should play, taking the overused trope of horror as an allegory for mental illness, and making it something truly memorable. It is a game that I cannot recommend more to those in the right headspace.

Luto es una experiencia maravillosa, redonda, sin nada grave que achacarle, pero donde a la vez todos encontraremos nuestro propio relato y experiencia personal, con sus más y sus menos.

Una auténtica obra maestra del terror psicológico e íntimo. Comenzando por su puesta en escena de primer nivel, su despliegue técnico, y como va poco a poco transicionando hacia la ruptura total del medio. No voy a decir nada que no haya dicho ya, pero tampoco me tiembla la mano en afirmar que estamos ante uno de los mejores videojuegos de terror del año.

Jugadlo.

Luto is an exceptionally well made psychological horror experience and especially as debut game from an indie studio it's an impressive achievement. The game's pacing is neither too slow nor too fast and is truly well-crafted and some of the puzzles are really challenging. If you're willing to embrace the somewhat stripped-down gameplay, you'll find a well-written story that's not only entertaining but also emotionally engaging.

Luto isn’t just a psychological horror game; it’s a dark emotional experience. With simple gameplay and thoughtful puzzles, it explores grief, loss, and love through psychological scares and emotional buildup, supported by visuals and sound that enhance the somber atmosphere.

No exagero ni un ápice si afirmo que Luto es de lo mejor en terror psicológico que he jugado nunca. He de reconocer, muy a mi pesar, que nunca tuve la oportunidad de probar Silent Hills P.T., aunque soy plenamente consciente de que su sombra es alargada, y si P.T. es igual de bueno que Luto, aún siento mas no haber podido jugar a la demo. La ambientación, absolutamente inmersiva de este Luto, hace que siempre estemos en tensión, atentos a nuestro alrededor, y eso es muy complicado de conseguir en un videojuego que muchos consideraran un simple “walking simulator”, pero amigos, Luto es muchísimo más que eso. Su narrativa traspasa fronteras que difícilmente veréis traspasar por ningún estudio desarrollador. Incluso hasta el punto de que el estudio se ha atrevido a reinventar el Pac-Man, ahí es nada.

Luto es una experiencia cinematográfica de terror imprescindible si os gusta el género. Una pesadilla angustiosa, retorcida y grotesca, pero a la vez esperanzadora y revitalizante, que nos hace replantearnos nuestra forma de enfrentar el duelo, la pérdida y el dolor. Un intrincado y abrupto viaje onírico que, una vez finalizado, nos ayudará a trazar nuevos colores en el lienzo de nuestras vidas.

Por esto y por muchos motivos más que evidentemente no os desvelamos, os invitamos encarecidamente a jugarlo, a vivirlo y a poneros en la piel de Samuel para comprobar cómo un estudio indie de Gran Canaria ha desarrollado uno de los videojuegos de terror más inmersivos del catálogo español hasta la fecha.

Luto is a rare kind of horror game. It doesn’t rely on cheap tricks. It doesn’t shower you with jump scares or gore. Instead, it quietly burrows into your psyche and stays there. For fans of psychological horror, narrative exploration, or games that explore grief and trauma with artistic depth, Luto is a must-play. It’s challenging, both intellectually and emotionally, but it’s also rewarding. This is indie horror with a soul.

A stunningly presented psychological horror title with some excellent twists and turns that is only let down by a few obtuse puzzles, Luto is a strong debut title and easily makes its case as one of the better indie horrors in recent times.

Como decíamos al inicio de estas líneas, Luto no es una sorpresa para nosotros, porque le seguimos la pista desde que fue anunciado hace más de cuatro años y la intuición nos decía que estábamos ante algo prometedor. Por eso mismo, y pesar de que se ha hecho de rogar, no podemos hacer más sino alegrarnos de que ahora es una realidad y es tan bueno como parecía. Broken Bird Games ha sabido jugar muy bien sus cartas, midiendo con sumo acierto hasta dónde podía llegar un estudio pequeño a la hora de lanzar su primer título. En definitiva, creemos que estamos ante un imprescindible para cualquier fan del terror.

"A Journey into the Depths of Sadness" Luto is not just a horror game; it's a powerful psychological experience that deals with themes of sadness and anxiety in an unconventional artistic and narrative way. It combines a realistic visual style with exquisite audio to create a suffocating and contemplative atmosphere. Despite the simple gameplay, the depth of the symbolic messages and surreal acting make it an unforgettable experience for fans of quiet, experimental psychological horror. However, it's definitely not for everyone, especially those who prefer straightforward suspense or clear narrative.

As the debut title from an emerging studio born in the heart of Spain, Luto marks a very promising start. Despite limited resources, the team managed to deliver one of the most refined psychological horror experiences, built on innovative ideas. While the core gameplay is simple, the journey through the abandoned house is mysterious and eerily strange, constantly fueling your curiosity to keep moving forward. For fans of psychological horror, this is an experience well worth playing.

Un’opera prima straordinaria, un’esperienza agghiacciante e profondamente stratificata che punta a riclassificare il genere horror psicologico in ambito videoludico. Tolti alcuni enigmi frustranti e qualche problema tecnico di minore entità, la lenta e magistrale costruzione della claustrofobica atmosfera in cui Luto ci immerge, il superbo impianto sonoro e l’approccio maturo e coraggioso ai temi che affronta lo rendono un titolo indimenticabile, uno di quelli destinato a rimanere dentro di noi anche dopo aver spento lo schermo dopo i titoli di coda.

Luto is one of the most ambitious indie debuts of 2025. It is not a conventional horror game, but rather a silent and oppressive exploration of the suffering mind. If you're looking for immediate thrills or dynamic gameplay, this probably isn't for you: Luto isn't designed for those seeking classic or adrenaline-fueled interaction, but for those who want a dense and intimate experience. The game asks you (almost forces you) to slow down, observe, interpret, and, above all, feel. It may not satisfy players who love complex systems or constant action, but it is extremely effective in engaging the player on an emotional and sensory level. If you are willing to immerse yourself in a reflective, disturbing, and deeply human experience, Luto is a journey that will undoubtedly leave its mark on you.

All things considered, though, Luto is a game that I really loved. Its storytelling, atmosphere, and the overall experience were unbelievably enthralling. It lived up to the expectations I’ve had since my first experience two years ago, and I found it worth the wait.

Luto chooses to slow horror down, letting its world do most of the work. You move through rooms that seem almost real, solving puzzles that exist to propel the story rather than test your gaming skills. The visuals and audio combine to create unease in simple, precise ways: a shadow, a creak, silence when you least expect it. It doesn’t chase you with fast scares, but its mood lingers. If you’re looking for a game that values atmosphere and lasting tension over immediate shocks, Luto delivers.

Luto è un’esperienza narrativa fortemente autoriale, un horror psicologico che rinuncia al classico jumpscare per raccontare una storia di lutto e introspezione, usando il medium videoludico in modo intelligente e spesso metanarrativo. Nonostante alcune occasioni sprecate e un gameplay che resta più osservativo che realmente interattivo, il titolo di Broken Bird Games convince per direzione artistica e cura tecnica, offrendo un viaggio disturbante e personale, non proprio adatto a chi cerca un horror più tradizionale.

In conclusione, “Luto” è un gioco che invita alla riflessione e all’introspezione, perfetto per chi cerca un’esperienza di gioco che vada oltre il semplice intrattenimento. Se sei un amante delle storie toccanti e dei mondi immersivi, questo titolo potrebbe colpirti nel profondo.

Realmente poco más se puede decir de Luto sin entrar en spoilers que puedan empañar la experiencia. Por mi parte sólo queda insistir en el hecho de que si te gusta el terror atmosférico, subliminal y el suspense y si disfrutaste con los ya mencionados P.T., Visage y títulos similares, Luto va a gustarte mucho, pero mucho. Porque además de ser un sentido homenaje a ellos, viene con muchos toques extras que lo llenan de frescura, personalidad y originalidad, elevándolo a un nivel de excelencia admirable, especialmente teniendo en cuenta que es la primera propuesta de sus desarrolladores. Desde aquí nuestra más sincera enhorabuena a la gente de Broken Bird Games, que nos han hecho un auténtico regalo haciéndonos pasar este Luto.

Luto es una experiencia de terror psicológico en la que asumes el papel de alguien incapaz de abandonar su hogar. Cada intento de escapar te adentrará más en lo desconocido, donde nada es lo que parece y todo pondrá a prueba tus sentidos.

By the time Luto reaches its conclusion, the lasting impression is not that of having simply completed a psychological horror game, but of having passed through an experience that feels more intimate, more disquieting, and at times emotionally difficult to endure. This is not a work oriented toward immediate entertainment or easily consumable tension. It avoids conventional gratification, eschews spectacle, and shows little interest in accessibility. Instead, it is designed to linger – to settle into the player’s perception gradually and remain there, extending the experience beyond the act of play itself. It is this sustained aftereffect, more than any individual moment, that defines its impact. What stands out most is Luto’s ability to transform a relatively confined space into a layered emotional experience. The house, initially appearing as a deliberately limited environment, steadily expands in meaning and symbolic weight. It becomes fluid and unstable – simultaneously setting, memory, emotional echo, and form of containment. Rather than serving as a backdrop for horror, it functions as its primary expressive medium, shaping not only what the player sees, but how they interpret what they experience. A defining strength of the game lies in its disciplined approach to pacing. In contrast to genre conventions built around escalation and frequent stimulation, Luto relies on accumulation and restraint. Tension is rarely released in conventional peaks; instead, it builds gradually, recedes, and returns in altered form. The result is an experience that is less immediately explosive than it is persistently resonant, designed to persist in the player’s mind rather than resolve cleanly within the moment of play. This same design philosophy, however, also demands significant engagement from the player. Luto is not structured for passive consumption. It requires patience, attentiveness, and a willingness to inhabit ambiguity. Repetition, silence, and interpretative openness are not incidental features but core elements of its design language. Thematically, the game is striking for the seriousness with which it weaves emotional suffering into its very structure. Grief, anxiety, depression, and psychological entrapment are not approached as narrative topics alone, but are embedded into the fabric of the experience itself – expressed through spatial design, pacing, sound, and interaction. This tight alignment between form and meaning stands as one of the project’s most accomplished qualities, underscoring the potential of video games not merely to represent emotional states, but to actively embody them. At the same time, this approach inevitably produces an experience that can feel heavy, even oppressive. The discomfort it generates does not stem from traditional horror mechanics, but from sustained emotional pressure. Luto does not offer catharsis in any conventional sense; instead, it maintains a state of psychological tension that resists resolution. While this choice is consistent and artistically coherent, it also makes the experience inherently demanding. Ultimately, Luto is less defined by mechanical breadth or structural variety than by the precision of its emotional design. It is a focused, often suffocating experience, but one marked by clarity of intent and notable restraint in execution. Above all, it succeeds in articulating a specific emotional condition: the lingering persistence of grief, the cyclical weight of regret, and the difficulty of escaping unresolved psychological states. Its strongest resonance will likely be found with players who recognise these emotional landscapes. While not an easy experience, Luto offers something quieter and more enduring in return: a form of recognition that, for some, may feel uncomfortably personal.

Sin ánimo de extenderme mucho más, he de concluir que el largo desarrollo de Luto (unos 4/5 años) ha merecido la pena y tenemos ante nosotros una obra dirigida a todos aquellos que disfrutaron con P.T. Con una factura técnica excepcional y una atmósfera muy bien elaborada, Luto se consolida como otro triunfo más de la escena independiente nacional y cualquier fan del terror debería probarla. Sólo podemos achacar un mejor diseño de los puzles, pero por lo demás, las 5 horas (dependiendo de lo que te atasques en los puzles) que te puede durar son plenamente disfrutables.

LUTO es una experiencia que merece ser vivida. Solo por la profundidad de su mensaje os podemos confirmar que merece la pena.

Una nueva muestra de la creatividad española en materia de juegos de terror. Pone muy buenas ideas sobre la mesa y las ejecuta con acierto dentro de un entorno original que engancha. Solo falla en algunos desequilibrios de los puzzles y, quizá, en volverse demasiado "iconoclasta" de más en el tramo final.

Como conclusión, puede que su potente propuesta eclipse el resto y haga ver algunos puntos peores de lo que en realidad son, pero me parece que es un título con argumentos de sobra para ser un gran juego. Puede que simplemente sea una apreciación personal, pero siento que Luto puede llegar a marcar al jugador y a que, con el paso de los años, siga recordando esos grandes destellos que con un par de pinceladas más hubiesen sido una auténtica supernova.

Luto is not a game for everyone, and that is part of its merit. It does not seek to be a typical survival horror game, nor an action-packed festival with cheap scares every two minutes. It is an intimate, short (4 to 6 hours long) and concentrated experience...

Luto es una experiencia breve, pero poderosa, que combina narrativa ambiental, atmósfera opresiva y una carga emocional muy personal. No es un juego de terror al uso, sino una historia sobre el duelo y el silencio. Puede no ser para todos, pero si conectas con su propuesta, te va a acompañar mucho después de acabarlo.

En resumen, un juego muy disfrutable si te gusta el suspense, y títulos como The Banishing of Ethan Carter. No esperes un terror «a la japonesa». Un juego original que te hará pasar un rato interesante con una historia más profunda de lo que parece a simple vista.

This is not a game for everyone. But for players who crave psychological horror with thematic bite, and who don’t mind a little patience (and a little disorientation), Luto is well worth the price of admission.

Luto isn’t for everyone. It’s slow, abstract, sometimes confusing, and often more about mood than mechanics. But for players willing to engage with its rhythm, there’s a surprisingly emotional core underneath all the shifting walls and disappearing doors. 

As a horror obsessive, I hope others like me push through the game's frustrating puzzles and dense plot to see Luto's best parts, because they're numerous and unforgettable. This being Broken Bird Games' first project makes me incredibly excited to see where the team goes from here. I often wonder what P.T. would've looked like as a full game. We'll never know for sure, but it would've been lucky to be something like Luto.

At first, I wasn’t expecting a lot from Luto. I had (wrongfully) assumed it would have been just yet another P.T. clone doing nothing more than satiating our thirst for anything vaguely resembling what Silent Hills “could have been”. Thankfully, my expectations were subverted. This is a wholly unique experience that managed to pull me intro its (very weird) world. It’s not the most terrifying or challenging of horror games, but it was a great slow burn, one I can easily recommend to horror gans out there.

Ultimately, Luto is a compact but poignant horror experience, clocking in at under three hours but packing enough emotional weight to linger afterward. It won’t be for everyone – especially those seeking traditional horror thrills with more action – but for players open to narrative-driven, symbolic horror, it offers a strong and affecting journey into psychological darkness.

Obwohl es sich um ein kleines spanisches Studio und ihr erstes Spiel handelt, haben sie etwas wirklich Beeindruckendes abgeliefert - ein vielversprechendes Debüt. Trotz begrenzter Ressourcen ist es ihnen gelungen, eine der besten psychologischen Horror-Erfahrungen des Jahres zu schaffen. Mit einem einfachen Gameplay und einer Geschichte, die zwar verwirrend sein mag, aber dennoch fesselnd ist, voller Geheimnisse und bizarrer, schockierender Momente, bei denen man sich fragt, was da eigentlich passiert. Trotz einiger technischer Probleme, wie beispielsweise Bildaussetzer, ist das Gesamterlebnis unterhaltsam und absolut zu empfehlen.

Luto es mucho más que un juego de terror; es una declaración artística que utiliza el horror como vehículo para explorar verdades universales sobre la pérdida, el duelo y la condición humana. Broken Bird Games ha creado algo verdaderamente único: una experiencia que desafía expectativas, cuestiona convenciones y permanece contigo mucho después del final.

If you love slow, atmospheric, cryptic, and introspective horror, and you're not afraid of getting lost in corridors that seem to go on forever, Luto is an experience worth trying.

Luto is a slow burn, yes, but that's exactly why it works so well. Every moment is deliberate, every sound and visual cue carefully placed to make you second-guess yourself. In a sea of horror games that rely on over-the-top monsters or constant loud noises, Luto stands out as something more thoughtful, more personal, and ultimately more haunting. I highly recommend it, just don't play it alone at night.

Luto is an M.R. James ghost story in video game form; creepy, unsettling, gorgeous.

Broken Bird Games' debut is a twisting, experimental horror game that goes places you won't see coming.

Now in its final form, Luto emerges as a compelling psychological horror. While clearly inspired by P.T., it carves out a distinct identity thanks to its deeply unsettling atmosphere. Rather than relying on cheap jumpscares, Luto builds tension through psychological discomfort, supported by a strong narrative, maze-like level design, and masterful spatial audio. Despite its simple gameplay, it delivers a haunting experience that proves psychological horror still has the power to surprise and resonate.

Solid Rated M for Mature psychological horror first-person experience on PS5

Luto is a tense, cryptic walking sim that’ll challenge players’ puzzling skills and patience as it moves relatively slow. The house is well designed and the game offers unique mechanics that will mess with players. Although given its sluggishness and puzzle based gameplay, this might turn off some gamers looking for some good scares and actions. If you’re a die-hard fan of the horror genre, you’ll absolutely want to play Luto. For those looking for something a bit faster and terrifying might want to look elsewhere.

Luto es, más que un videojuego de entretenimiento, una experiencia personal, casi terapéutica, que influye profundamente con el jugador que se deja fluir por él. Aunque la historia es breve, cada minuto está perfectamente calculado para dejar una huella duradera. Luto te hace vivir una experiencia a través de puzles y de un guion que te va soltando de a poquito lo que necesitas para seguir adelante. Un juego español que sin duda lo recomendamos.

Puede que el juego sea, como su nombre lo indica, una historia sobre la muerte, pero es precioso por donde se lo mire; la única pega es que es tan bueno que su corta duración pesa muchísimo simplemente porque el que lo juega va a querer seguir descubriendo los misterios de aquella historia que cuenta los pesares de los que ya no están entre nosotros y de los que aún luchan con todas sus fuerzas para llevar las secuelas de una pérdida.

There's a bit of everything in Luto. Wandering through its endless rooms and corridors that only appear to be the same, you will perceive visions of Silent Hill, references to the legendary P.T. and many other echoes from other psychological thriller games, from Layers of Fear to the underrated Reveil. A brief descent into the depths of the mind, but one that will linger in your memory even after the credits roll.

Luto is a bone-chilling and deeply layered game that, when playing to its strengths, provides an enthralling, emotional and creepy experience that goes above and beyond its initial exploration of death. Despite some stumbles in the form of some frustrating puzzles and a strangely dissonant meta nature, it is undeniable that Broken Bird Games have made a stunning debut here, and are absolutely a studio worth watching.

Pour son premier jeu, Broken Bird s’en sort avec les honneurs en reprenant les codes de la simulation de marche horrifique en y ajoutant des choses surprenantes telles qu’un narrateur. Si le gameplay et la réalisation (propre) ne sortent pas particulièrement des sentiers battus, la façon d’aborder le sujet de la mort permet au titre de se démarquer. La narration se retrouve dans les environnements, dans les dialogues, les documents et la progression, créant un ensemble solide sur ses appuis mais dont il est parfois difficile de trouver la cohérence. Reste ce dernier acte un peu méta qui ne plaira pas à tout le monde, mais qui a le mérite d’offrir aux joueurs le luxe d’interpréter.

Luto è un horror psicologico walking simulator che non ha il solo scopo di angosciare e spaventare il giocatore, ma anche di portarlo alla riflessione di temi più profondi e maturi come la perdita di una persona cara, della depressione e del suicidio, senza appesantire l'esperienza con spaventi facili ma creando l'atmosfera con un ottimo audio e con ambienti claustrofobici e angoscianti.

"Luto will viel. Und manches davon gelingt. Es ist ein Spiel über Verlust, mentale Ausnahmezustände und das Gefühl, in der eigenen Trauer festzustecken. Die visuelle Sprache ist stark, das Sounddesign wirkungsvoll, die Ambition spürbar. Aber es bleibt bei Fragmenten. Mehr noch, die kreative Basis – ein sich veränderndes Haus als Metapher für psychische Instabilität – ist inzwischen so oft durchdekliniert worden, dass selbst gute Umsetzungen darunter leiden. Luto will ein eigenständiger Take auf das P.T.-Erbe sein, aber der Überraschungseffekt ist längst verpufft. Was bleibt, ist ein Spiel, das sich interessant anfühlt, aber selten gut spielt. Wer sich dennoch auf den melancholischen Albtraum einlässt, bekommt ein stimmiges, wenn auch nicht spannendes Erlebnis. Alle anderen dürfen sich mit gutem Gewissen sagen: P.T. haben wir gespielt. Luto müssen wir nicht mehr."

Luto es un juego de terror en primera persona que no podrás olvidar en mucho tiempo. Para su título debut, Broken Bird Games toma un tema tan natural como la muerte para crear una experiencia bastante terrorífica que juega con la mente del jugador de formas muy divertidas.

While Luto is a beautiful game with experimental visuals and storytelling, holding an impactful message on the emptiness of grief, its pacing issues, inconsistent tone and lack of actual horror kill off the momentum set at the beginning of the game.

Un horror psicologico solido e meditativo, capace di evocare emozioni forti attraverso l’atmosfera piuttosto che la violenza. Se cerchi un titolo che ti accompagni nei tuoi incubi emotivi più sottili, Luto è un viaggio disturbante ma significativo.

Hay otros juegos que intentan hacer, sin conseguirlo, lo que este LUTO logra. Pero además se trata, recordemos, de la primera creación de un estudio joven. Hay que seguir de cerca a la gente de Broken Bird Games porque nos van a dar más alegrías… o sustos.

Après les cinq heures passées à terminer Luto, j’en ressors avec un sentiment mitigé. Il faut tout d’abord mettre en avant que dans Luto, vous n’allez pas avoir des frayeurs à en avoir le palpitant qui convulse. L’horreur est plus situationnelle, plus dans l’atmosphère. La progression est classique avec très peu d’interaction possible. Et surtout beaucoup d’aller-retour, surtout si vous butez sur une énigme. Le rythme en devient assez inégal, d’autant plus que le grand final, assez réussi ceci dit en passant, se fait en ligne droite.

En resumen, Luto es una experiencia diferente, un viaje algo más personal sobre la perdida de seres queridos que sufre de pequeños momentos poco claros sobre como continuar y algo de mal rendimiento. Pero sigue mereciendo la pena experimentarlo por uno mismo.

Luto (PS5) es un juego que exige abrir la mente, darle al tarro en varios puntos, tener un pelín de paciencia, algo de predisposición para comulgar con su sombría premisa… y más aún con su audaz narrativa.

Lo que tengo claro es que Luto es una muy grata sorpresa, y es un juego que puedo recomendar con todo el gusto del mundo. De lejos, muy por encima de la media del género, y un juego que puedes citar como ejemplo de cómo crear un buen juego de terror que es mucho más que un mero cascarón. Sus problemas son especialmente dañinos, y lo son porque restan demasiado a un título que, si llega a preocuparse un poco más de cuidar al jugador, podría habérseme colado entre los más destacados del año. Sorprendido por ver que han cumplido las altas expectativas, pero a la vez algo triste por ver pasar una oportunidad perdida.

A truly wasted opportunity, the art direction of this game and even the plot had a lot of potential, but everything comes down when the gameplay is only a walking simulator, and the whole game ends in less than 3 hours.

Luto works on the border between psychological horror and puzzle game. Unfortunately, the latter part doesn't always work and breaks the rhythm of the game. In addition, the plot, which verges on surreal, does not hold up until the end. Otherwise, the horror from the Spanish studio offers a great atmosphere, absurd events and a dark work of mourning.

While it has specific merits—like a solid setting and well-paced puzzles—the game fails to transform these qualities into something truly memorable or frightening.

Pour conclure, je dirais que ce Luto m’a laissé sur ma faim. C’est dommage, car le postulat de base me tentait bien, mais le fait de devoir faire à répétition des actions pour déclencher la suite m’a refroidi. J’ai trouvé le temps long, pourtant le jeu est court.

In every other respect, Luto appears and feels like just another game among the multitude of indie horror titles, albeit with aspirations of aesthetic depth.
