    Inked: A Tale of Love is an excellent adventure game. The compelling story and the concept behind it should appeal to most adventure game fans, and especially to lovers of physics-based puzzles.

    Inked offers up a selection of well constructed logic puzzles set alongside a well made, though potentially familiar feeling plot.

    The value of Inked lies above all in the ability to stage a small story of love and suffering through a very personal style and excellent visual impact.

    Inked tries in earnest to make a small folk tale into a wider allegory about creative expression, and though admirable in theory, the self-reflexive bent ultimately hinders the sense of unease it creates through its pleasantly hand-drawn realm.

    After a while, the small things kept adding up and made this potentially great game less and less enjoyable. There will be players who can overlook the issues and complete Inked, but I’m not one of them.

AWhen i first saw the trailer a few month ago i realized that its a unique puzzle game, after i played it I still have the same opinion. A different puzzle game with a absorbing story and nice music. The graphic is minimal but very professional and flawless. The controls are simple and gentle, but the puzzles and the whole game rhythm could be more various. Its a good game which can keep you awake whole night. Expand

In some places, the control is crooked due to which it is impossible to do one or another action, but rarely.
    The main minus for me is the main character: I hate people with such character.
