She Remembered Caterpillars makes the jump to the Switch perfectly
With the Switch essentially being a hub for indie games, what with torrent of games both new and old, well-known classics and overlooked gems alike constantly coming out for Nintendo’s portable-home console hybrid, it’s become a good place to try out games you might have missed the first time around. Case in point, She Remembered […]
Help, I can’t stop stacking gold in Treasure Stack
I can always tell I’ve found a good puzzle game when I inevitably have that “just one more run” moment. The moment where I start putting everything else off to try and keep playing. For Treasure Stack, that moment came quickly. After a few rocky runs at the start where I struggled to grasp the […]
Puzzles and mysteries await in The Spectrum Retreat
You wake up to a knock at your door. You get out of bed and open the door. A well-dressed robot stands on the other side — one of the staff members of the hotel. He informs you that you requested a wake up call at this time, and tells you that breakfast is ready […]
Linelight delivers a calm, elegant puzzle solving experience
For a genre that seems tailor made to unwind with, I wouldn’t call most of the puzzle games I’ve played over the years relaxing.

If you happened to play the original Chime, Chime Sharp is more of the same but with a few new modes. That’s not a bad thing – the original was already great – but it’s enough to help you decide whether Chime Sharp is for you. If you haven’t played Chime before, Sharp’s a good […]
Tumblestone Review – Tumble, don’t fall
Multiplayer puzzle games are difficult to pull off. Making the act of puzzle solving into a competition doesn’t translate well to most match-3 puzzlers, often taking the slow-paced nature of those games and throwing another player or two into the mix to try speeding things up. It seldom works, usually resulting in a boring, tacked-on […]
E3 2016: Exploring the sublime architecture of Manifold Garden
Last time I saw Manifold Garden it went under the name Relativity. The game hasn’t changed much since then. The demo this year showed same level from last year, only more fleshed out. I didn’t mind, though. I’ll take any chance I get to poke around in its stunning world. Manifold Garden is a puzzle […]
