Didn't quite have the charm Hexcells had for me but still I had an enjoyable time with it.
Nice and simple not too difficult to understand and I didn't come across any technical difficulties during my time.
If you liked Hexcells or logic puzzle you should enjoy this.

Logic puzzle game, similar to minesweeper but without the need to guess any moves and latest entry into the Hexcells series.

Hexcells Infinite adds several improvements to the series the biggest of which is the puzzle generator giving you access to 1 billion generated puzzles alongside the usual 36 main puzzles. Difficulty wise I found it overall a easier then Plus but there were a few puzzles in it that were on par with the harder ones in Plus.

Again like the other entries into the series every puzzle is fully solvable buy logic alone and again it is forgiving with no punishment for guessing or making mistakes.

The one main negative from the previous games was not mid puzzle saves, which thankfully are in Hexcells Infinite allowing you to leave and return to puzzles without having to start over.

One thing I did notice is that the generated puzzles lack a certain polish and feel that the hand-made puzzles had, they do lack a certain air of quality in comparison.

Hexcells Infinite is worth its price for puzzle fans, it has any easier curve then Plus so it would be a good entry to new comers if they only wanted to get one of the games, it is the best one.

The complete collection itself is easily worth its price aswell, providing 102 hand-crafted puzzles over the 3 games and 1 billion generated puzzles from Infinite itself.

I had no technical issues with Hexcells Infinite.

Logic puzzle game, similar to minesweeper but without the need to guess any moves and sequel to the original Hexcells.

Hexcells Plus increases the difficulty over the original game while having only 6 more levels(36 in total) over the original the amount it took me to finish them all was an extra 10 hours.

Again like the original every puzzle is fully solvable buy logic alone and like the original it is forgiving with no punishment for guessing or making mistakes.

Also again one negative is that puzzles can’t be saved mid game, so you lose progress when you exit, which given the increase in difficulty in puzzles could be a problem.

Hexcells Plus is easy to recommend to those wanting harder puzzles over the original; it increases the difficulty and the playtime with it for the same price.

I had no technical issues with Hexcells Plus.

Logic puzzle game, similar to minesweeper but without the need to guess any moves.

I really enjoyed playing through Hexcells while short. Every puzzle (30 to complete) in it is fully solvable using logic, no guessing is required. It gradually introduces you to different clues as it increases in difficulty as you progress through the levels.

It is forgiving there is not punishment to making mistakes or guessing other than being unable to “perfect” the level which is completing it with a limited amount of mistakes, which is also the only real reason to reply levels.

One negative is that puzzles can’t be saved mid game, so you lose progress when you exit.

Even though it can be quite quick to get through the 30 available puzzles I still recommend Hexcells as; one on sale it is very cheap, and two it’s a good starting point to ease you into the series.

I had no technical issues with Hexcells.

Good, simple tower defence game, easy to get into and play.

  • Adventure mode is a good length, 5 areas of 10 levels each, with NewGame+ available.
  • Large variety of plants, and multiple valid strategies to beat levels.
  • Mini-Games Galore: It has several large mini-games and a bunch of smaller single levels with different rules, so plenty of variety and extra things to do away from the main game.

One of my favourite games of all time, really enjoyable, easy going gameplay, pleasing art-style/plant designs and plenty of things to do, loved playing Vasebreaker.

Only technical issue I ever had with the game was having my save wiped when it transitioned over to cloud saves, other than that it has been good.
