Love You To Bits 9+

I feel like five exclamations is not enough. I honestly didnt think it would be all that. I just left it in my wish list for a long time. But now, im glad i waited because now i get to fully appreciate this game being older and wiser. Constantly, i was surprised at how good the level design was. The animations were just so intricate like the little wires and stuff in the background on machines. Every single level was different and had something new to offer. And there was actually a storyline that made sense. But, the soundtrack, o m g, was so good!!!! Sure, you can't save mid levels, but i found that worked better for me because when i got stuck i would just quit for a few hours, and then when i came back and played, i realised i'd missed something, and then was able to progress. It was soo worth the money. I would definitely look forward to anything else made by the game developers.

Alike Studio’s side-scrolling puzzle game is a quirky and wonderfully realised tale about a boy trying to reassemble his robotic girlfriend. It has levels that pastiche Limbo, Planet of the Apes, horror movies - and zombie films within that - plus a host of other nerdcore influences. But it never pokes fun in a cynical manner, rather spreading the love in its title across every beautifully realised world the player encounters. Sadly, released in two parts - with the brief resolution arriving way too late, - the game is finally the greatest sum of all its disparate parts. There’s an aching need for completion in all the hidden memories, and finding each one brings a joyous video that underlines the odd couple’s love for each other. Full of pathos, full of rewarding puzzles, full of a gamer’s appreciation of games. Love it.
