HAHAHA! no seriously?
you totally fell for it!
why the hell would I be writing deep meaningfull thoughts??? no instead i'm going to talk about a little game called little inferno (no lie i literally thought of this as i type the first bit (now that is true genius (or chaos ... either one)))
Little Inferno is a game. but do not fear, my review will not stop at this simple yet provocative sentence. You see some people don't realise that it is truly a game. they look at the fireplace on screen, they watch as I tenderly place a cuddly bear down and then ignite it into a blazing heap of beauty and they say "Oh ... is this it?" and to these people I cry out "NEIGH" (for i am secretely a horse and none of you even knew). You see I buy the bear with gold. And then, as the bear burns a blazing death, it drops a coin, a coin worth slightly more than i spent on the bear.
I see your brain whirring, piecing together the complexity that is Little Inferno. Fear not reader, I will free your beautifull mind from this horrible riddle. I MAKE MONEY BY BURNING THINGS I BUY!!! GENIUS!!!
As the game progresses you are allowed to purchase more catalogues full of even more burnable objects, of course you don't immediately get everything in the catalogue, no, instead you start with three (or four (as i said i'm not prepared for this)) and to unlock more you must burn the unlocked ones.
Ok, lets pause a second. My fantabulous brain is once again running faster than my fingers so i'm explaining that poorly. so i'll simplify. to unlock object 4 I must first burn either object 1, 2 or 3. see?
But this is not what defines a game, no, just because i spend and unlock i can not justify this as a game. The true reason that I laugh in the face of these poor fools is because I have felt pure joyous fun. The moment that you burn your first stack of letter blocks, and see the perfectly coded fire first spread, then engulf the objects in your small fireplace. You realise that Little Inferno is not just a small time killer, no, It is a game.
of course as any good reviewer knows you can't have a biased opinion. I must also point out the flaws.
unfortunately for you, avid reader, i am not a good reviewer...
Jack (to the future)
