There’s never any guessing, always a fair and logical route to the next click, with these hand-crafted puzzles designed with wit, almost an authorial narrative, as you unpick their fiendish path. A sort of combination of a nonogram and Minesweeper (although I deeply loathe the comparison with the latter, since it’s such an obnoxiously terrible puzzle), each of the three sets of 36 puzzles grew increasingly complex and involved. The goal of any Hexcells puzzle is to correctly identify all the hexes that should be shaded blue, and to click-to-delete all the rest.
Because Hexcells is the best puzzle ever.
“But you can’t play these on paper,” your wrong mouth might wrong out loud. “Personal taste” you might wrongly argue. I mean, you might wrongly disagree with your wrong mind. It’s better than Slitherlink, Killer Sudoku, Picross… Oh gosh do I really mean that? Yes! I really do. Hexcells – and by the name I mean all three games in the trilogy as one super-game, like a Transformer of puzzling perfection – is not only the best puzzle game on sale, but it’s the best puzzle. In a far larger scale than even that implies. Is a thing I’ve said before, and maintain. Needless to say, it doesn’t take long before I become absorbed in the game and finished the levels without realizing it.Hexcells is the best puzzle game ever made. The sound that happens when you click on the tile is also soothing enough, especially with it showing a different tune depends on how fast you are clicking the tiles. I still hated the simplistic levels since they can be tricky to solve, but there are not many levels like that in the game. Despite my difficulty in learning how the game works, the game becomes fun to solve afterward. The design is simple enough to familiarize yourself and puzzles are challenging to solve. Hexcells Plus is a neat puzzle game to play. Intel Core i5-9300H 2.40GHz, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Verdict Some levels require you to think of the possibility of the tile placement based on one or two mechanics, and I wasn’t keen enough to see the trick sometimes. It claims that all levels can be solved without guessing, although I had to guess some of them. The game can be challenging, especially at later levels. However, the game doesn’t seem to offer a quick hotkey to restart the level. One achievement requires you to clear all levels without mistakes, so I end up restarting the level every time I made a mistake. I finished the game in 9.7h with all achievements. This might be caused either by the confusing wording on the tutorial or my lack of understanding of English. I had to do them manually before I realize this feature, and I was already halfway in the game already. Some levels can be hard to visualize due to the mechanic and tile placement.
I didn’t realize that there is a feature for “line assist” at first. I ended up solving the “tutorial level” by guessing, but that leads me to my doom since the next mechanic offers another word that I didn’t understand. I didn’t know what “blue cells are consecutive” means. New mechanics will be introduced in the same difficulty as other levels, and the tutorial is too confusing to understand in words. I don’t know if it’s because the developer already assumed that people already played their other games with similar mechanics, but the tutorial seems to act as a way to refresh people of the mechanic. Some black tiles will also let you know how many blue tiles are in their surroundings, helping you to clear the levels. Some numerical values will also be given at the edge of the screen, similar to Picross without the spaces, to let you know how many blue tiles are available in each level. Your goal is to flip all tiles to their respective color, whether it’s blue or black. The game is played out like Minesweeper in a hexagonal grid. The interface is also simple and looks elegant with the font choice. It tries to implement the hexagonal shape on the level selection to make it similar to the actual levels in the game.
