HEXCELLS ALL LEVELS SERIES

In short there isnвЂ™t much more to be said about the Hexcells series they are a series of very well made puzzle games that offer a large number of levels to challenge your deductive and logical reasoning.

In fact this would actually be a good candidate for a mobile release thanks to the relative simplicity of the game and the clean interface. In this particular case this is not necessarily a bad thing as the game is fairly minimalist in its nature and there is little point in overcomplicating the aesthetic beyond what is pragmatic. It almost feels like a mobile game at times as it often follows many of the simplification design tropes that are common in that sphere. The aesthetic of Hexcells is clean and minimalist with little cruft or unnecessary padding. This is a nice little progression mechanic as well as encouraging level replays until a flawless solution is found. There are no time limits so itвЂ™s quite alright to take your time, the scoring is done through mistakes made and the later levels are unlocked with hexagons that are gained through completing levels free of mistakes. This is really an ideal game to play on some downtime when you just want a little something to occupy your mind, but nothing too taxing. The levels, and there are many of them are well designed and provide sufficient challenge without being overly frustrating.

This is the core of the gameplay and whilst it sounds basic it is often a relaxing and enjoyably paced puzzle game. This made the game far more playable on the laptopвЂ™s touchpad and huge kudos to the dev for including this option. A pleasant option that has been included is the remapping of these controls, this was useful on the laptop as it allowed me to remap the right and left click actions to keyboard keys. Any tile that is not positive must be cancelled out, this is done with the right click whereas the selection of a positive tile is done with a left click. The gameplay of Hexcells is much like Minesweeper in that any particular tile will show the number of positive tiles adjacent to it. ItвЂ™s scratched an itch for the last week where due to work IвЂ™ve had little time for more heavier or more time consuming gaming, which is really the ultimate draw.

Infinite does have the added bonus of a level generator which whilst it lacks the elegance of the hand-crafted levels will provide an unlimited number of addictive Hexcells levels.

HEXCELLS ALL LEVELS PLUS

Across the series the nature of the game remains much the same as Plus and Infinite represent level packs with some minor improvements to the player experience. The gameplay is somewhat Minesweeper like however with the added twist of hexagons, because hexagons are the future ( Crysis said so). This review will be a cumulative review for the Hexcells series by Matthew Brown Hexcells, Hexcells Plus and Hexcells Infinite.
