Oct. 2024

A very relaxing game that is similar to the Minesweeper except it has hexagons and gradually teaches additional rules and is hand crafted. Very sweet and short (I finished it in 2 hours)

Oct. 2024

Short and fun puzzle that reminds me a lot of minesweeper. Very forgiving for making mistakes as well, but there is an achievement for doing it without any mistakes.

Fine and very relaxing game. Easy to understand instructions how to solve puzzles.

Note: This is a generic review for the Hexcells trilogy of this indie developer. This is an ambient logic puzzle game where you have to choose the correct cell color in function of the juxtaposition of various information. The game is a minesweeper variant, but it is quite amusing to play. Everything is well done from the increasing difficulty, to the ambient music, to the minimalist UI. I recommend getting the whole bundle (3 Hexcells games, and 2 spin-offs: Crosscells, and Squarecells). 8/10.
