The challenge is always identifying the one data point you're missing that resolves or unravels a bunch of stuff on the board in a very satisfying way. My brain's not that great, and I've been able to solve all the puzzles in each game without ever guessing or taking a note or keeping track of a bunch of stuff at a time. It really just keeps forcing you to reason and think in new and unexpected ways. It definitely gets harder and more demanding, but not really in that way. What I found (which is also the reason I consider these games particularly great,) is that it doesn't really do that. When playing the first game I also expected it to require increasingly greater leaps of logic, and reach a point where I would be unable to keep all the information in my head, requiring me to start taking notes or sketch out different «moves ahead» to eliminate possible solution paths or whatever. I agree it's wery much in the wein of Sudoku, in that you combine a number of simple rules and data in order to eliminate possible solutions, and that it's always solvable without guesswork (at least I assume that's a requirement for a proper sudoku puzzle!) Speaking of which, does anyone know of any other great logic puzzlers I can play while I wait for Squarecells Plus? I had never been addicted to anything before I played Hexcells, and now I am frustrated that I'll have to wait months for the next Squarecells game. And so cheap, I cannot believe it!!!ĭo like me, and get these games and play them. It's like Picross or Sudoku, only even better, and there's ambient music while you play! If you pay close attention, you can hear your skull literally creaking to accommodate your growing brain. No guessing, just pure deduction and logic. In each of them you're presented with a board of cells, and you have to use clues such as how many cells in this row are marked, or how many neihgboring cells are marked, and so on, to mark/clear the right ones. Okay, so all these games are very similar, the difference being the actual puzzles you have to solve. If you think it's a bit much, at least get just Hexcells. If you haven't already bought these, you should just go ahead and get the Hexcells Complete Pack on Steam right now, because these are the best logic puzzle games you are ever going to play. Which, some of these are.Hey, it's me toblix! I never post here, so you must think this is probably important! You're right: I want to tell you all about these four amazing puzzle games: Hexcells, Hexcells Plus, Hexcells Infinite and, as of just the other day, Squarecells! I have a personal loathing of this sort of puzzle scoring and won't recommend it to anyone even if the puzzles themselves are stellar. I can't be a perfectionist and I won't try to be. (I love my bat cave.)Īs much as I like Hexcells puzzles I've had to stop. A take back involves a screen shot and some monkey business which will be almost impossible for anyone working with a single monitor. IE never clicked the mouse wrong or slipped or made any genuine errors in logic.
It only tells you if you got a perfect score.
And it won't tell you how many you made on a particular puzzle so you can choose the best one to redo. To many in total and you can't open up the next set of puzzles. Minuses, at least in this particular program. Kind of like some of the advanced Sudoku puzzles you can find online.

Hexagonal Minesweeper plus some variant clue types. Pluses, I really like Hexcells type puzzles.
