Tin Hearts Reviews
I fell in love with this game not long after starting out in the game when playing on my PS5. The simplistic introduction showcased that games needn’t always offer up a lot of exposition.
Tin Hearts tells a moving story through a wonderful narrative, smart puzzles, and one of the most beautiful scores written for a video game.
Tin Hearts is the adorable, and poignant spiritual successor to Lemmings you never knew you needed.
A fantastic puzzle game which tells a touching and unforgettable story in a cozy setting.

Overall Tin Hearts takes its players on an emotional journey through the charming world of the Butterworth household.
The magical and emotional story, along with the puzzles and the Christmas-themed designs, is something that any child will love. But as an adult, Tin Hearts can definitely make you feel like a kid again. But I’m not so keen on that. It looks like once you’ve started the story, you cannot start over the game until you’ve finished the entire campaign. This isn’t necessarily a problem worth stressing, but for a few reasons, you might want to start from the beginning, regardless of how far you progress.
They're not unfairly obtuse while also still offering a solid challenge. The opening stages don't show the game in its best light right away, but once things get moving Tin Hearts is difficult to put down. A few minor technical and user interface issues caused some brief stumbling but rarely put a damper on my enjoyment.
Tin Hearts is a wonderfully crafted puzzler that’s unique, clever, and tells a heart-warming story to go along with its cute toy soldier escapade. It mixes together a variety of puzzling mechanics in a creative and whimsical way, whilst the way that everything ties into the use of toys always kept a smile on my face. And sure, the time manipulating mechanics mean that the stakes aren’t too high when leading your toy soldiers on their way, but they don’t stop the game from feeling super rewarding when you finally solve each tricky conundrum.
Tin Hearts took me pleasantly by surprise. I simply loved guiding my tin soldiers through the different rooms of the house. I truly felt like a little child playing with his toys in his own house. The game's slight shortcomings cannot overshadow its great qualities, especially the level design. If you like puzzles and moving stories, and want to return to childhood, Tin Hearts is a must!

Tin Hearts is a game that offers that something that goes beyond and that you can only discover by giving it a chance, in which you will learn the value of family and understand that there are things that usually divert us from it, however, we always have the opportunity to compensate for our mistakes and not let it be too late.

A charming mix of story beats and generally smart puzzles help to make this easy to appreciate… once you get going
Tin Hearts is a lovely little puzzler that's engaging and emotional in equal measure. It takes all the right inspiration from Lemmings but manages to stand on its own two feet with a unique visual style, clever mechanics, and a wonderful narrative told effortlessly during gameplay. Technical hiccups pull it back from true greatness, including a choppy frame rate and jarring camera movements, but if you're after a relaxing puzzler that's not too taxing on the ol' noggin, then you really can't go too wrong with this.
The tin soldiers marched into a successful puzzle game in the style of Lemmings, where you get to know the touching story of the inventor's family while searching for puzzle solutions.

Tin Hearts combines puzzle and 3D platforming to create ingenious challenges that will require paying attention to the environment and the resources that can be used. The narrative lacks better pacing and swings between the endearing and the cheesy. Even so, the plot collaborates with the charming setting of toys and systems that need to be set in motion. This mix is enjoyable and thought-provoking, which makes it recommendable to anyone who likes to twist their brain in creative environments.

Tin Hearts is a puzzle game that challenges players to manipulate the environment and guide tin soldiers to their destination, while also offering a thought-provoking story and exceptional world-building.
Tin Hearts is a puzzle game, with impressive artistic environments, superb voice acting, and a captivating storyline. It is easy to learn and navigate, making it suitable for all ages and skill levels. The game has some challenging levels that require planning and is a must-play for those who enjoyed Lemmings.
Tin Hearts is a great game that puzzle fans are sure to fall in love with thanks to the easy-to-understand but hard-to-master gameplay. While it may be slow, it often picks up when you least expect it to provide an expanded world. Rogue Son clearly put its heart into this title, with countless moments feeling like they were pulled from a fairy tale.
Chock full of cuteness and charm, Tin Hearts also unravels into a well thought out and crafted puzzler experience. There are means to make it easier, should you wish, but also the option of playing it without aid to challenge those that seek it.
An atmospherically rich puzzle game with an intriguing backstory and simple but layered gameplay. Too bad about a few too many stumbles on Nintendo Switch and near-zero replayability.

Tin Hearts is a wonderful little game of guiding toy soldiers through the remnants and memories of a toy workshop. While a little light on challenging experienced players, an excellent level progression, heartwarming story, and downright adorable visual design more than make up for it. However, the Nintendo Switch version suffers from muddy textures and occasional stutters that pull an otherwise excellent experience down.
