The Hex is an incredibly ambitious and unique game by famed indie developer Daniel Mullins. They produce games known for their complex meta narratives, fourth wall breaking and unexpected game play twists, and The Hex is no exception to this. Especially the latter is extremely present in this case: far from a singular gaming experience, this is a combination of wildly varying genres and tropes, stringed together by a complex non-linear narrative with multiple twists and turns. There are moments when it almost becomes a study of game genres and techniques, nudging the player to question their preconceived notions of game design. The story itself is thrilling, strange and even flirts with horror at times. Due to the sheer scale of this project, the individual quality of each new game play section isn't necessarily always up to the same high standard. Moreover, there are slight pacing issues as some parts last longer than they need to. These sporadic quality and pacing problems aside, The Hex is still a wonderful and captivating experience, filled to the brim with wild ideas. 9/10

Super Weasel Kid is one of the greatest triumphs of indie gaming in our modern year. With precise controls, spectacular level design, and a theme that ignites a passion of pure unadulterated joy within our hearts, we are shown an experience that transcends what it means to be a game. It may not have the most cutting edge graphics, or the longest playtime, but it has one thing that no other AAA SLOP will ever have: A pure love and devotion to the craft of interactive digital media. Thank you Lionel Snill, Thank you for making the greatest game of 2013.

Daniel Mullins is a freaking genius. Inscryption was an experience unlike any other, so I knew I had to try the developer's other games. Somehow, The Hex managed to surpass all my expectations and blow my mind. The level of interconnectivity between different genres, gameplay systems, and narratives is simply ingenious. As someone who seriously wants to go into game development, I have to say this game taught me a lot. It not only gave me perspective on certain game elements and design but also helped me see games in a slightly different way. For that, I thank the developer. A game within a game. The Hex doesn't just break the fourth wall—it invites you to step through it, making you question where the game ends and you as the player begin.

Another interesting Daniel Mullins game. Although it stitches many different games together and has a messy story line, the game is still quite fun to play. The game length is about 5-7 hours in the first run. Recommended for anyone looking for indie game. Achievements in the game is difficult to figure out. Many hints are in the last section of the game so it will be almost impossible to get the relevant achievements in the first run without a guide. Chapter select can be used to get achievements after the first run. The games runs smoothly on deck. For some of the achievements, re-mapping buttons to certain keyboard keys is a must. For some sections of the game, mouse will perform much better than joystick but this is not that critical as the game difficulty is not high.
