Pixies are a rock band, Alien is a horror movie, and Braid is just a puzzle-platformer.
While all of those statements are technically accurate, true pop-culture connoisseurs know that what these three examples do is utterly unique within their respective genres. The same is true of Where is my Heart?, a new game from Danish indie developer Die Gute Fabrik.
SteamFirst: Where is my Heart has been nominated seven times and won four awards in various award shows spanning the last several years, making the game critically acclaimed by the majority of critics and gamers.
Avoiderdragon: It’s a bit odd seeing some games that were released for one platform would then be put out for other platforms years later. Doing so days or months later is common enough, but years later is a rarer occurrence with some interesting results. It lets more people play that game, and it also kind of serves as a reminder that it exists somewhere. Those who have played it before can now tell those who are about to on what they should expect from it, which could be either a good or bad thing.
I played this game a long time ago on my psp. I didn't dislike it, but I didn't find it that memorable either. It wasn't fantastic or terrible for me. It just was. I'd probably give it a 7/10 too.
DHGF: WIMH is an interesting puzzle platformer that has some interesting ideas and doesn’t overstay its welcome. The price point and short length will deter many. However, it’s probably something that puzzle platformer enthusiasts will find some enjoyment in. I would recommend it to fans of the genre, at least when it goes on sale.
