Slide Stories: Bonds & Memories, pictures that are worth a thousand sliding blocks.
I purchased this game in a bundle and I didn’t realize what the “slide stories” meant at first…until I started playing it. God damn I hate sliding puzzles, mainly because they always made me lose my mind when I couldn’t figure out how to switch two pieces.
BUT I managed to find out during this game how to properly complete these kinds of puzzles, so I guess they aren’t so bad anymore.

Slide Stories: Bonds & Memories Review
Okay, despite my lack of desire to play slide puzzles, this one actually wasn’t so bad and was pretty cute, considering the images told stories, as well as the achievements you earn from completing the puzzles. So it’s not like picking up a small slide puzzle of a cat or a dog and trying to figure out how to piece the image back together.
Which…is kind of how I view these puzzles normally. Static images. Just something to do to waste time.
The animations made the game even more cuter, and it also helped but hindered when it came to sliding certain pieces in their rightful place. More difficult because things had movement to them. Easier due to the fact the movement would match up with a block it was supposed to be beside. So even with those images that had the same coloring for way too much of an area, it helped put them in their proper area.
If there were ever a sliding puzzle that I would tell people to try out, be it their first or if they were pretty good at them, I’d say this one.
It’s sweet, the artwork is nice, and there’s a story to tell.
