News: A new colorful and contemplative puzzler is heading your way next week that you will definitely want to check out.

Solo: Islands of the Heart is getting ready to arrive next week on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. Solo comes from Team Gotham and Merge Games and features a colorful and thought-provoking puzzle experience.

Solo is a game about love. About love as fuel, the force that drives us. It is a universal feeling, but each of us experiences it in a different way. Individually, it holds different meanings depending on a variety of factors such as culture, gender, sexuality or traumas. That's why Solo explores this theme in an introspective way, to have the players identify and reflect on their own experiences.

Solo is a contemplative puzzler set on a gorgeous island and surreal archipelago. Some of the things you will do on this island include:

Reflect on love’s place in your life with a personal and introspective branching narrative

Combine blocks with different properties offering multiple solutions for most puzzles

Contemplate and explore a living world. Take photos of the charming, colorful islands amidst tranquil tunes or play the guitar for cute creatures.

Nature and contemplation are also a huge part of Solo – you could feed the animals or just sit on a bench and take the time to think. After all, it’s up to you – Solo provides you with the opportunity to explore at your own pace.

The world is divided into archipelagos, and each archipelago is formed by small islands. Each island represents a unique puzzle the sailor will have to solve before getting to the Sleeping Totems and awakening them to answer a question about love and relationships. Using boxes, each with different properties and behaviors, the sailors can build their own paths to the Sleeping Totems on each island.

Solo: Islands of the Heart will launch next week for $19.99. There will be a special launch sale with a promotional discount of 20% for the first few days the game is on the market. If you are interested be sure to pick it up then and save a few dollars. Check out a trailer for Solo: Islands of the Heart and tell us what you think. It will be on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. Will you be picking it up?
