Entwined (2014): A Review
Entwined is a beautiful and unique game that tells a heartwarming story about love and sacrifice. The gameplay is simple but challenging, and the visuals are stunning. I highly recommend this game to anyone who loves puzzle games or platformers.
Story
Entwined tells the story of two souls, one a bird and the other a fish, who are in love but can’t be together. The bird is free to fly through the sky, while the fish is bound to the sea. Despite their differences, they are drawn to each other and determined to find a way to be together.
Over the course of nine unique lifetimes, the bird and the fish will face many challenges. They will have to overcome obstacles, solve puzzles, and even sacrifice themselves for each other. But through it all, their love for each other will never waver.
Gameplay
Entwined is a puzzle platformer game. The player controls both the bird and the fish simultaneously, using the left analog stick to control the bird and the right analog stick to control the fish. The goal of each level is to guide the bird and the fish to the end, while avoiding obstacles and solving puzzles.
The puzzles in Entwined are clever and challenging. They require the player to think strategically and use both the bird and the fish’s unique abilities to progress. For example, the bird can fly over obstacles, while the fish can swim through water. The player must use both of these abilities to solve the puzzles and reach the end of each level.
Visuals
Entwined is one of the most visually stunning games I’ve ever played. The art style is unique and beautiful, and the colors are vibrant and eye-catching. The game’s world is full of lush landscapes, from underwater coral reefs to towering mountains. The bird and the fish are both beautifully animated, and their movements are fluid and graceful.
Music
The music in Entwined is just as beautiful as the visuals. The soundtrack is composed of gentle and ethereal melodies that perfectly complement the game’s atmosphere. The music helps to create a sense of wonder and awe, and it makes the player feel like they are on a truly epic journey.
Conclusion
Entwined is a masterpiece. It is a beautiful, challenging, and heartwarming game that will stay with you long after you finish playing it. I highly recommend this game to anyone who loves puzzle games, platformers, or simply beautiful games.
