    Inked: A Tale of Love is hugely enjoyable - and whilst you’ll probably realise this from the first few moments, it never disappoints from there on out. The controls aren’t perfect, but the experience as a whole is great; one that is helped by a very good price point.

    Come for the striking art style and stay for the engaging gameplay, that’s my cliched tagline for the undoubtably original Inked: A Tale of Love. It’s a relatively short game (about three to four hours), and doesn’t offer much replayability since there aren’t any achievements, but the game stays fresh throughout by introducing new mechanics in each of the beautifully drawn levels and by featuring a fun hidden object mechanic. If you don’t mind not earning achievements and enjoy puzzle games then this is worth a look.

    Inked: A Tale of Love is a tale of love and vengeance as one would figure, but this tale is told with ink on paper. You play as the NamelessInked: A Tale of Love is a tale of love and vengeance as one would figure, but this tale is told with ink on paper. You play as the Nameless Hero who sets out on a journey in a vast landscape filled with puzzles for you to solve. Each puzzle takes you closer to your lost love, unraveling a story that will forever change you. The aim of the game is straightforward, make your way through the world by solving a series of puzzles using simple geometric shapes as our hero searches for his lost love Aiko. You can expect the narrative to run a little deeper since you're effectively playing out a story that the artist Adam is creating. So you can probably expect some parallels between the two characters to be drawn throughout the adventure. You must witness the beautiful hand-drawn art style in motion. It certainly helps it stand out in a world of indie games that can sometimes feel a little ascetically similar. Inked: A Tale of Love is available for purchase in the Xbox digital games store courtesy of publisher EastAsiaSoft for a low price of admission. If the concept sounds interesting or your a fan of indie titles then definitely check this one out.… Full Review »
