- −Challenge level skews a bit low for more experienced players
How we tested it
Performance
Average FPS over 9 min 58 s of gameplay, measured with MangoHud. The line marks 60 FPS. Average FPS: how many frames per second on average. 1% low: the FPS in the worst moments (the slowest 1% of frames). The closer the 1% low is to the average, the smoother the game, without stutters.
Also applies to other mini PCs with the same Radeon 780M graphics: Ryzen 7 8845HS, Ryzen 7 8745HS, Ryzen 9 7940HS Same integrated graphics, so similar FPS. They can vary a bit with RAM (speed and dual channel) and with the power limit set by the manufacturer.
Test timeline
Power is the processor's (CPU and graphics) as read by MangoHud: at the wall it's a few watts more.
Planet of Lana is a cinematic puzzle-platformer that wins you over from the very first minutes thanks to its hand-painted aesthetic and gorgeous audio. The story follows young Lana and her inseparable feline companion Mui on a journey to save their planet from an invasion of hostile machines. The game's real strength lies in its perfect balance: the co-op and physics-based puzzles are clever, never frustrating and accessible even to younger players, making it a wonderful experience to share as a family.
On the technical and Linux compatibility side (tested on CachyOS with GE-Proton10-26 and kernel 7.0), the experience was flawless. We tested the game in 4K on the High graphics preset on a Mini PC, and it maintained outstanding visual smoothness, short loading times and excellent color rendering without a single hiccup or stutter.
Although the adventure wraps up in a handful of hours and the puzzles never get particularly hard, the pacing, the variety of environments and the emotional impact of its dialogue-free storytelling make it a title of great artistic and entertainment value, and an absolute recommendation from the indie catalog.
