Little Inferno

I can't resist it, must sing! ♫ It's Little Inferno ♪ ♫ It's Little Inferno just for meeeeeeeee ♪ ♫ I've got the fireplace ♪ ♫ That burns at a hundred billion degrees ♪ ♫ It's little inferno just for me ♪ Simple gameplay: buy stuff, burn stuff and see what they do, get money, repeat; it feels like one of those 2D Sandbox games where you test combinations of elements to see what will happen. The game also offers a list of combos that you can try to discover by yourself, altough not many of them are as clear as "Word 1, Word 2 Combo", so remember to think outside of the burning box once in a while. Having played the original story and the Christmas DLC, the story in both is there to give you a sense of progress, but it's not necessary that you read all letters addressed to you. Another thing to note is that the original has Sugar Plums trading you items to burn, meanwhile in the DLC it's 8-BitNate and his 3 Ghosts (cliche x-mas story); I feel like they could at least have tried to put both characters in the DLC, maybe using the letters to maybe feel like they were all neighbours (which they are). Don't get me wrong, the stuff you can do with the items is nice; but any sandbox-like game has a point where there's nothing else to do, as you have already done everything, read every note, burned every toy. Altough there is a story and an ending, I think the game could've used more secrets, more interesting combinations to make, or maybe even more content to the ending other than walking after spending 6-8 hours burning stuff. Otherwise, the game is pretty fun while you still haven't tried everything out. I recommend. Now, for the achievements: You need the DLC to get all achievements. In short, get all catalogues, do all combos, buy everything 3 times (shown by a golden rim and no cooldown while buying) and DO NOT BURN THE FREE HUG TICKET; if you did, delete the save and retry, as you need to keep it until the end of the game for a single cutscene.
