Boxes: Lost Fragments 12+

Finally, after playing a ton of puzzle games, one comes along that is so well engineered, intuitive, and beautifully crafted, that I am compelled to stop and write a review. After playing so many that seemed arbitrarily difficult, requiring me to go look for a walkthrough or remain stuck for a century, Boxes comes along to prove that puzzles can be intricate without being senselessly annoying, or so difficult, that help is the only answer. If you are brand new to puzzle games, and do not have years of trial and error under your belt, this is a perfect game to cut your teeth on. Further, while you are doing so, the player is treated to excellent craftsmanship and artistry, that few games can parallel. The ones that are similar, are the games that still stand out in my mind and continue to withstand the test of time. These developers have been at it for awhile and they have poured into Boxes, their accumulative experience, knowledge and expertise to create a unique experience for puzzle solvers of all ages and abilities!

I played the game on my iPad, and everything worked - the achievements showed up, I could tell where I was in the game after putting it down for a spell, and the story had continuity, without having to go back and piece it together. Boxes is a very special, beautiful, thoroughly enjoyable immersive experience. Thank you! It was such a pleasure to play.

If you like The Room series or House of Da Vinci series then you will love this game! As a collector of puzzle boxes I love the idea of hiding tools or keys to open boxes! This game is all that and more! What I really like about the puzzles in this game is that they are just challenging enough to make you think and solve without being completely stuck. There are a few puzzle games out there like that and it’s maddening! There are a lot of boxes to solve but I did beat it within like 6-7 hours so maybe more levels with more boxes but I could just be saying that because I didn’t want it to end lol. I hope they make more games like this and maybe even a VR version which would be amazing!!
