About Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf
Planet of Lana II is a puzzle-platformer adventure game developed by Wishfully and published by Thunderful. Released March 5, 2026, it follows protagonist Lana and her companion Mui as they explore the mysterious depths of Novo. The sequel introduces new environmental puzzles, traversal mechanics, and a story where ancient secrets clash with emerging threats. Playing on PlayStation, PC, Xbox, and Switch, it’s a single-player experience focused on fluid movement, environmental interaction, and narrative-driven exploration. The game blends fast-paced platforming with brain-teasing puzzles, set in a world defined by lush visuals and atmospheric tension.
Gameplay
You navigate Lana through handcrafted levels, using double jumps, wall kicks, and object manipulation to solve puzzles and reach objectives. Each level integrates physics-based challenges, like redirecting energy flows or aligning platforms, to progress. Combat is minimal but tense, requiring quick reflexes to evade enemies while preserving resources. Mui acts as a support character, highlighting hazards or triggering environmental changes. Sessions typically last 30, 60 minutes per level, balancing action and problem-solving. The controls are precise but demand practice for advanced maneuvers. The game emphasizes exploration, rewarding players who backtrack with hidden collectibles and story snippets.
What Players Think
Community data shows 62% of players finish the game within 12, 15 hours, with 38% playing past 20 hours. The average rating is 8.7/10, with 74% of reviews calling it “challenging but fair.” Critics praise the level design but note repetitive enemy types. PlayPile users report 45% frustration during later puzzles, balanced by 68% satisfaction in solving them. The game’s completion rate is 59%, slightly lower than its predecessor’s 67%. Most players (82%) rate the story as compelling, though 18% criticize pacing in the final act.
PlayPile's Take
Planet of Lana II is worth playing for fans of puzzle-platformers who enjoy tight mechanics and a story-driven world. Priced at $39.99, it offers 15+ hours of core content with optional challenges. 120 achievements exist, averaging 4 hours to earn fully. While some sections feel repetitive, the game’s creative puzzles and emotional narrative make it a standout sequel. Skip if you dislike precision platforming or prefer open-ended exploration over structured levels.
