Certain items may have odd properties or work together with other items to create unexpected results. A list of combinations, where the only hint is the name of the combination, gives the game another puzzle-like layer that you are required to solve to progress further. For example, a somewhat vague sentence (such as Wooden Block Combo) will be given and the player must analyse and choose the correct materials in order to process further.

Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Fun even without beer knowledge
Great business model game similar to Kairosoft games.
Pro Great depth of beer brewery gameplay that yields quite a lot to explore
There are a huge selection of recipes for beers, that need the correct amounts of specific ingredients that can be made with the correct equipment by the correct staff and sold to the market that demands it. Make a mistake in balancing any of these points and suffer the consequences.
Pro Variety of gameplay elements keeps the player engaged
To break up the monotony of constant stale management of business there are challenges and events that happen, usually in the form of a goal that you have to reach in order to get a reward, that you can take on or ignore. Additionally, you can exercise your fingers by trying to catch mice that run around your brewery, these mice will give you money and recipe scraps.
Pro Intriguing wordplay-based puzzles that keep the player guessing
Certain items may have odd properties or work together with other items to create unexpected results. A list of combinations, where the only hint is the name of the combination, gives the game another puzzle-like layer that you are required to solve to progress further. For example, a somewhat vague sentence (such as Wooden Block Combo) will be given and the player must analyse and choose the correct materials in order to process further.
Pro Delightfully warped gameplay makes for an amusing way to burn digital objects
You spend most of your time throwing things in an ill-conceived invention for kids called the Little Inferno fireplace. By setting things on fire you get money that you can spend to buy more things to throw in the fireplace. There is a subtle plot that may make you re-evaluate your actions.
Pro Minimalistic, eerie puzzles, gameplay and narration pointing out how the games we play manipulate us
Cons
Con Can get dull
Fiz tends to be a slow game, which means it can lead to loss of interest while playing.
Con Not a lot of variety in visuals or music
The 2D sprite graphics are a little generic, just as the music. This can get tiring after a while as little of the aesthetics of the game change as you progress.
Con Weak - Game dev tycoon like game
Content of the game is poor. It consists of setting up a brew of a special beer and sell it at a place for that beer. There are a few~3-4 upgrades for 4 parts of your brewery and you can recruit employees. Buy a new recipe for beer and restart the brew. I love the genre - but this title is without love and without content. Instead get GameDevTycoon, Graveyard Keeper or Potato weaponshop for example.
Con Not a free game
Con Most of the time is spent waiting and not on puzzles
The game revolves around deliveries that take time to arrive to your fireplace. There are time constraints on these deliveries that force the player to wait, unless you purchase postage stamps by unlocking combo's. As such, most of the time played in the game will be in a more 'idle' situation waiting on the deliveries instead of actually using the deliveries to solve the puzzles.
Con Costs too much
Con The game is quite short
Little Inferno is a short game. On average, the main story takes a little bit over three hours to complete, while completionists need about four hours to explore everything.
Con No puzzle diversity or large number of mechanics added
The gameplay mechanics in Little Inferno stay the same: you use the fireplace in order to burn materials and create combo's. Even when unlocking newer catalogs with new materials to burn, not much changes in terms of gameplay. The puzzle hints that are provided also are quite similar, which can make the game feel rather monotonous.
