    LOVE - A Puzzle Box Filled with Stories was a fun relaxing series of puzzles with a nice soundtrack. Some of the clues/puzzles you knew exactly where to go while others made you do a little more thinking and exploring. For me, made for a nice balance and leaves me looking forward to what Rocketship Park launches next. Not a very long review, mostly just wanted to show my support with a recommend.

    I have played this game through multiple times and can say without a doubt, it is a beautiful, enjoyable, fun, and thought provoking experience. I think some of the stories should hit a cord with everyone and I encourage you to take the time to value the experience because you'll feel richer for it.

    LOVE has incredible potential, but its vagueness undermines the storytelling. The concept immediately caught my attention and made me eager to play, but it didn’t take long to realize the execution was off. While the game offers a unique premise, it falls short in delivering a cohesive experience. The core mechanic—manipulating scenes to reveal outcomes in relationships, past and present—is simple but leaves too much room for ambiguity. This is where the game stumbles. Some scenarios feel…

    It feels like the devs poured their hearts into this one, and I'm glad they did. The concept, art and music are perfect, and the only problem is that the puzzles can feel obscure. Part of this is unavoidable - there are 4 sides to the building, multiple floors and both past and present, so you can only see a subset of the information at once. Additional subtle hints or signposting would've helped me, but still I enjoyed this charming and unique game.

    Reviewed on: 11/26/2021 Quick thoughts: Cute little puzzle game, Love is a theme not explored to often in games so it was a nice change of pace, That said some of the puzzles were not very intuitive and lead to frustration as the game has no hint system and what you can click on isnt always made super clear. Worth it if you want a calm afternoon killer and you can get it on a deep sale. --Audience -- ☐ Beginner ☑ Casual Gamer ☑ Normal Gamer ☐ Expert ---{PC Requirements}--- ☐ High (State of…

    ★★★☆☆ Overall, I'd say...yes, I recommend it. But I didn't love it, just liked it. It was a really interesting puzzle game, but I didn't understand half of what the stories were - they needed more clarification. But the music was good and I liked the mechanic of turning the building around to find the pieces to the puzzles. I also didn't expect the game to make me tear up within the first 5 minutes! lol If you enjoy puzzles, I'd say give this a try. They have insanely good sales on this game -…

    I loved the idea of the game but found it very crude to play. Wished there was more creative input in the storyline. The game is lacking in visuals and narrative - the two of the points that should`ve been the strongest...

    So, beyond the charming graphic aesthetic, the catchy sound track, the just tricky enough puzzles, and a brilliant time travel mechanic, this game also has heart. Heart enough to make you cry, if you've got a sentimental bone in your body. It also has a heart big enough to remind you that the Love of our past is still with us in our present, it's only ever as far away as a twist of the puzzle box. I loved this game, beginning to end and I would recommend it to anyone.

    A lovely little time bending puzzle game. Some of the puzzles can be head-scratchers but don't think any of them are guilty of not being logical in the game. The stories are very sweet and the music is a great accompaniment. It's brief but definitely worth your time.

    Just a thoroughly pleasant game that made me use my brain. Usually that's quite dangerous, but seemed to work out fine for me this time. The split between past and present is such a nice idea and was executed in a really satisfying way. It does lead to some mind bending puzzles though!

    There aren't many games that make me feel genuine emotion but LOVE absolutely nails it. The lack of dialogue and the small amount of handholding expertly create a space for you to bring your own experiences to the narrative. In my humble opinion this is the PERFECT way to make an emotionally charged story without drifting into the realms of cliche. The honesty and beauty of the puzzle solving make this a truly unique experience . You gotta check this one out, it really is superb.

    I was unsure if this would work on my Macbook Air running Big Sur since Steam warned it wouldn't. I was thrilled to see that not only did it run, it ran perfectly with no glitches or delays. Love is a great puzzle game, very different from your typical puzzle game. You're trying to put lives back together and bring characters closure. I've never heard of a game plot like that before. Also, don't think because it's titled Love, it's only for girls or it's a sappy soap opera. Think of it more…

    I was worried that from the first story-puzzle this game would be emotionally exhausting; on the contrary, I just can’t wait to play more of it. I’m resisting walkthroughs and just want to keep at it because I enjoy exploring the building so much. It has heart, style, and great music.

    #8 - LOVE - A Puzzle Box Filled With Stories Score: 6/10 I had played this game years ago but didn't finish it so I thought I would try again now and while this was a very short game, I still got some enjoyment from my time with this game. A one and done experience for me but a neat idea for a game

    Great slow paced puzzler with some high quality music you'll be humming for days. Some lovely little stories throughout. The difficulty ramps up perfectly and I've yet to discover more. Recommended for all ages

    I've only done the first few puzzles and I'm instantly in love. It isn't often a game can get you feeling emotional after the first ten minutes but this games visuals, music premise and charm come together in such a powerful way. If you love games that make you feel something then you HAVE to play this.

    Love is a fun, relaxing, and emotional experience. From the first moments I found myself drawn in. The first story you solve acts as a sort of tutorial for whats to come, and it also acts as a primer for the excellent storytelling you are in for. The game has no dialogue, the stories of each tenant are told through pictures and animations. The emotions and context that the game is able to convey with these two tools is stunning. As you progress through the apartment building solving…

    This is a beautiful puzzle game explored through a series of vignettes. These vignettes are focused on the inhabitants of a single apartment building and highlight defining or significant moments in their lives. We uncover snapshots of these moments by interacting with characters and objects in the building in the past and present: every floor of the building can be rotated, and if a room is inside the black-and-white half of the screen, we'll witness its "past," while the full-color half…

    If you want to buff up your fingers, this is the perfect place for you. My mouse fingers are now disproportionate to the other fingers thanks to the funky controls. Seriously. There is a part where you enter a pin to access a character's computer, The buttons themselves didn't do anything however, the areas between the big squares, where certain pixels are, gave me the numbers I wanted. Very annoying. Maybe it is just me but, I am unable to follow along with the story, so I click on things…

    Really obtuse puzzle solving, unresponsive controls (for a point and click game, that's actually almost impressive), unskippable credits and overall meh story. Plus, the final achievement never unlocked for some reason. Definitely did not LOVE this one.

    A lot to like here. The graphics are charming. The game mechanic (rotate stories in an apartment building to create some action) is easy to grasp but carries some depth. Story elements are heart-warming but not overly sentimental. Music is excellent and fits the overall mood. Some puzzles are a bit vague. There is sometimes more difficulty in finding out what you want to do than in figuring out how to do it, so maybe don't go in expecting a focused puzzle experience. It is also rather short:…
