Inked: A Tale of Love

Thought that this game would be similar to GRIS, unfortunately the story didn't really resonated with me. The art looks beautiful, however the puzzles sometimes are a little bit buggy and they can be really annoying. The music was alright but nothing special

I'm sorry to say it because I can see there is some personal feeling from the creators in this game, but I don't think the game was interesting. To sum up my experience with it: - The puzzles were too simple or straightforward, with not enough interacting pieces. - The story was to linear and flat, and narrated with simple dialogues that were voicevered in a way that didn't moved me. - The art style was interesting at first but it remain to easy, "box-y", and plain during the whole. I finshed the game 'cause it was short and because I hoped for a redention plot twist at the end to save my opinion about the game. Unfortunately, there was no redention.

There might be a fun game here, but you have to watch a 10 minute walking simulator between each puzzle. Someone decided watching the repetitive cutesy animations was more important than playing the game, oh well.

The visual style was what initially caught my attention with Inked: A Tale of Love, and thankfully the gameplay was enjoyable enough to keep me interested throughout. The puzzles are one of the strongest parts of the game. There's a good variation between them, they're well balanced, and the environments and mechanics are incorporated nicely into the puzzles. The gameplay generally feels good, and new mechanics are introduced at a good pace as you progress. I wasn't immediately sold on the click-to-move controls, but they felt better the more I played. Moving objects around could sometimes feel a little clunky though. Visually, I really liked the ink-and-paper style and the world design. Each chapter has its own unique look and the environments are nicely varied. I also enjoyed the story. It strikes a good balance between the narrative and puzzles, and I liked how the creator who is drawing everything is incorporated into the story. You get to experience his story and struggles and see how they affect the world you're playing through. The music is nice and relaxing for the most part, while changing to fit what is happening and the atmosphere of each situation. The…

Very cute style and some simple but engaging puzzles, but it's unfortunately too clunky for me to recommend. There are parts of the game where the control when moving objects just fails and gets you needlessly stuck. You can solve the puzzles easily but then just not be able to actually put the solution into place because things don't lock correctly. Very disappointing...

my oh my. I went absolutely blind to Inked, and mostly because I am learning to play with controller. And I absolutely wasn't ready for such a lovely, emotional and beatiful experience. Unique visual with simple yet sometimes head-scratching moments, absolutely gorgeous soundtrack and humane vibe. I can't recommend it more if you want something casual but not without a purpose and you enjoy puzzles as well. Loved it.
