Unique concept, chill music, and cute story blend together perfectly in this relaxing puzzle game that I wish were more challenging.
Monument Valley 1 and 2 are among the most clever puzzle games I’ve ever played, and I love them for it. So it’s no surprise that Ustwo has managed to put out another clever puzzle game, even though it doesn’t quite reach the level of Monument Valley. Frankly, Assemble With Care is not challenging. The puzzles seem to exist more as an avenue for storytelling than for the sake of the puzzles themselves - which is a shame because the concept is quite cool. Disassembling something, fixing it, reassembling it, and turning it on to see it work is a satisfying feeling even if it is simplified to the point of being accessible to children.
I would gladly play a sequel to this that focused more on complex puzzles that take some real thinking to solve. As it stands, Assemble With Care is still a wonderfully relaxing and charming experience that I’d recommend to anyone.
+ Relaxing and very charming
+ Unique puzzle mechanic
+ Chill music
- Absurdly easy. No challenge at all. (But hey sometimes that's OK)
