If you have played through the three Hexcells games and want more, Hexceed is a good choice for that, i think. There's plenty of free levels to see if you like this game and if you do, then you can get more levels by buying the DLCs, which don't cost much. The DLCs have regularly introduced new tile mechanics into the game so it keeps evolving as they bring more content in, so that's pretty nice.

Unlike Hexcells, this game lets you make mistakes and with me coming from those games it kind of bothered me but later ToastieLabs added features like Hardcore mode in the settings which allow you to have the game reset the level every time you make a mistake so i enabled that rightaway after it got added. :D It's also possible to disable the highlight effects of the special mechanic tiles if you want to map out their "clues" by yourself in your head. :P When i tried it first, i wasn't initially sure if i liked it but i quickly got used to the extra work and have kept it like this ever since.

The soundtrack is 100% Lofi Hip-hop, which is a genre i haven't listened to much, but i like the music and it fits for a calm minimalistic puzzle where you can just relax and take your time working on those hex-based minesweeper-like puzzles. :)
