Love is Dead

Love is Dead because this game bored it to death. It probably wanted to kill itself, just to not have to listen to the narrator. And it died, stuck on choosing its' gender.

"Love is Dead" ist ein kurzweiliges Puzzle-Abenteuer, das sich um die Themen Liebe, Tod, Haustiere und Pancakes dreht. Mit Hunderten von Leveln, die sich auf sieben bunte Welten verteilen, bietet das Spiel eine vielfältige Herausforderung. Die Grafik des Spiels ist süß und minimalistisch, was Liebhaber dieses Stils sicherlich anspricht. Die Puzzle-Elemente sind gut durchdacht und bieten eine unterhaltsame Herausforderung. Die kurzen Level machen das Spiel ideal für zwischendurch, aber es richtet sich vor allem an diejenigen, die Freude an grafisch einfachen Puzzle-Spielen haben. Persönlich empfinde ich, dass "Love is Dead" für Fans von kleinen Puzzle-Spielen eine gute Wahl ist. Allerdings, wenn dieser Stil nicht ganz deinem Geschmack entspricht (wie etwas bei mir), könnte das Spiel möglicherweise nicht die gleiche Anziehungskraft haben.

Look, the game isn't exactly bad, it has some alright mechanics and so on, but it's just so agressively millenial in both writing and the overal feeling that it really detracts from the experience.

"Love is Dead" is a 3D rendered 2D puzzle game where you move around grid based low poly/minimalist levels, typically solving puzzle problems orientated around pathing and placement, but there's also a few levels that need you to do timing and reflexes which demolishes some of the "chill" vibe the developer was trying to aim for... to thine own game design be true, I suppose. There's also a co-op mode but the SteamDB figures show very few, if any of the 12 million gamers on Steam bothered with this one, for understandable reasons... most of those 12 million Steam gamers are PC gamers. One important note is that even though this is an amateur project, it does seem to be sincerely and genuinely made. I couldn't find any flipped assets, plagiarism or any other kind of insincere actions from the developer, but unfortunately genuine intentions alone are not enough to produce a brilliant PC gaming experience. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The game features lazy minimalist/untextured low-polygon "retro" assets and visuals, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the early 1990s. The lack of textures is a method that lazy devs often use to disguise their lack of talent/interest in doing the graphics properly and trying to disguise it under the name of "art", or "We made it look bad on purpose", which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with. It's unclear why the developers weren't willing to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets and high resolution textures for the game. It looks bad as a result of their decisions, and that's just another reason to avoid it. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. This looks and feels like a mobile app, but I wasn't able to find it on the app stores. Maybe it was removed, maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all). Regardless, for all intents and purposes "Love is Dead" might as well be a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's impossible to recommend such a game to PC gamers. We don't spend all this money building gaming rigs so we can pretend they're iPhones and play games that might as well be mobile apps. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this game was with players reveals a surprise... there's a modest spike in player counts for the game. But this only happened once, around the same time that trading cards were applied to the game... so this is just card idlers getting their cards and moving on. A closer look at the numbers shows the game just has a couple of players every week running up the game and idling it for cards, then deleting it. We must ask how it benefits gamers for there to be so many games like this, with no merit as a serious game, that only generate sales from people idling and selling the trading cards. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? "Love is Dead" has the almost scam-like price of $12 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. Because this is the kind of game you can just play for free on mobile phones, it's impossible to recommend anyone should pay money for the same experience on Steam. For comparison, the $12 asking price for this game could get you games like "Wolfenstein - The New Order", "Disco Elysium" or "Metro Exodus". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this.

Wierd cute game. The puzzles aren't particularly challenging but it was a pleasant experience overall. I liked the style and the color palette choices the most.

Фигня, не стоит он этих денег. Почему кстати не указано про лгбт+!? Игра сделана в Canada, о чём постоянно не к месту напоминают, и вообще-то авторами две вот эти фигурки совсем не обязательно подразумевается что это мужчина и женщина, в начале дают выбрать твою небинарность по типу как к тебе обращаться из множества гендеров, так что там могут быть и лезбиянки и гомодрилы и "они" всякие. По истории влюблённая парочка мертвяков ищет своих питомцев - ах как это мило (нет). Сама история рассказываемая голосом диктором неинтересная. Вся суть игры всех уровней найти путь ко второй половинке, так же можно усложнить прохождение занявшись собирательством блинчиков (почему их, накой фиг они зомби-пешкам если тем нужны человеческие мозги? Как много вопросов на которые нет ответов). Дизайн слишком простой и незамысловатый, этой игре место на мобильнике. Из любопытного: у достижений крайне низкие процент выбитого (как и крайне мало обзоров у игры). второй мир завершило лишь 7%. Прямо чувствуется насколько в это интересно играть. Единицы прошли и то эти люди наверно ачивкохантеры и клали они прибор на тематику игры.

Solo isn't great, only recommending for the co-op which is chill.

[h1][b]Love is Dead[/b][/h1] Acho que de todos os jogos de quebra-cabeças que já joguei esse é o meu favorito. [b]Visual e Sonorização: 10/10[/b] Love is Dead possui um visual bem bacana, bem no estilo cartoon, é bem agradável de se ver e bem criativo, o jogo possui diversos temas diferentes visuais diferentes e a cada mundo que você passa o tema muda. A música também é bem agradável, não atrapalha nem um pouco e se encaixa muito bem no jogo. [b]História: 10/10[/b] O jogo começa com uma história aonde os dois personagens que você controla foram mortos e voltaram como zumbis porém perderam seus animais de estimação e agora eles tem que procurá-los vagando por um mundo infestado de zumbis, e o casal agora vai pelo mundo em busca de seus animais de estimação enquanto comem panquecas. Não é nenhuma história com desenvolvimento ou um enredo ou algo do tipo, apenas uma historinha para dar o tema ao jogo, porém contada de uma forma bem legal e tem uma narradora que narra algumas coisas normalmente no início dos níveis, algo bem divertido e bacana para complementar o jogo. [b]Mecânica: 10/10[/b] Não é um jogo difícil, em alguns níveis você vai ter que pensar um pouco mais que nos outros ou então agir um pouco mais rápido que em outros níveis, mas no geral é bem simples e fácil. Normalmente a maioria dos níveis possuem o mesmo objetivo que é unir o casal, um personagem começa em uma ponta e o outro na outra e você tem que uni-los, alguns níveis vão possuir outro objetivo, mas no geral é sempre esse reunir os personagens e pegar as panquecas pelo nível. 0 jogo começa com as básicas como desviar de obstáculos, evitar os outros zumbis e conforme você vai avançando no jogo novas mecânicas e inimigos vão sendo introduzidas. O jogo é bem divertido e interessante, um dos poucos jogos que já joguei em que cheguei no final e queria jogar mais. Não é um jogo curto, dá pra rendar diversas horas e diversão, vale a pena comprar. [b]Nota Final: [u]10/10[/u][/b]
