Tick Tock A Tale for Two Review

Simple yet fun, logic puzzle game, made for 2 people. You share information with the each other to progress through the puzzles, and work through the events to discover the story being told.

Initial offer of 2 for 1 is a good price for this game, because the option to play this game alone requires a lot of tedious repeating of the same content, going back and forth between both Players. There are no additional save slots, which is the biggest hindrance for me to suggest paying full price. To play alone, you would have to start a new game after discovering the way to solve any puzzle, since progress for either Player is linked to information that only the other Player has.

Once the initial offer of 2 for 1 is gone, I would highly suggest waiting for the game to be 50% off. The replay value for this game is very low, once you know to solve the puzzles. You will breeze through the other Player’s role, on subsequent playthroughs, since there is no additional story to discover.

There is a meta-narrative revealed at the very end. I am not convinced that its inclusion helps the game’s final moment achieve a satisfying conclusion.

That all said, I do think it’s a game worth playing.
