Love Too Easily (Nintendo Switch) Review

FMV games have had a slight boost in popularity in recent years, mostly due to Wales Interactive reigniting the flame that used to burn so brightly during the 1990s. On this side of the world, though, it isn't often that an interactive Korean romantic comedy gets localised. Monster Guide's lighthearted adventure is an amusing distraction for a couple of hours, with multiple choice dialogue delivering different endings.

The surprising thing about Love Too Easily is the various minigames that are interspersed between segments of the story. From a nonogram puzzle to dolling up the main character with makeup, and point-and-click segments to running around town as a chibi avatar, these breaks in scenes offer a sometimes fun, but often pointless, diversion in an attempt to tailor Love Too Easily as more than just an interactive movie.

Minigames can be replayed and, thankfully, skipped if preferred, so that focus can be put into the actual narrative, and it is easy enough to jump back to decision making moments that allow players to go down another path towards a new ending. With how quickly things can be progressed, and with the variety in outcomes, it is often worth trying to attain each one, particularly because the characters are charming and the dialogue is cheesy, but mildly entertaining.

Despite the broken English and issues with image quality at times, there are humorous moments that ensure it is worth sticking through Love Too Easily. It is possible to see the effort gone into crafting this, and the extra behind-the-scenes videos and interviews with the actors are most welcome. It lacks a lot of depth, but for a short, playful interactive romcom, there are worse options than this.
