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.

I never write reviews, and I mean never. But I feel compelled to write one for this game. I love puzzle games, big fan of The Room series, House of Davinci, etc. I was looking for another game to fill the void when I finished those. This one fit my need perfectly. First of all, the graphics are stunning. The puzzles are clever, just challenging enough but not impossible. What I loved most was it’s just puzzle box after puzzle box. There is a little bit of a story but not much, which is fine with me. Some of the other games have too much of a story. Just give me the puzzles! There are 5 levels, and each level has 4-5 puzzle boxes. Then there are additional puzzles at the end of each level as you fit the tokens you collect into that levels end scenario (for lack of a better way to describe it) The whole game flows beautifully from one puzzle to the next. No glitches at all. Took me a couple of hours to finish, well worth the price of the full game. If you like puzzle box games you will not be disappointed!!! Game developers, PLEASE make a sequel!!

First, this game is gorgeous, challenging, immersive, and just difficult enough to make you proud when you solve a particularly difficult puzzle. There is a pretty generous amount of free-play, which is enough to get you hooked into buying the full game. Very clever. 😉 I really found myself completely absorbed with the game, until I realized that I was getting closer to the end. So, I found myself slowing down in order to savor the rest of the game. Alas, the end finally came, and it was satisfying. A couple of weeks later, I started over from the beginning, thinking it would be a breeze since I’d already solved everything once. I was actually pleasantly surprised by how much of it I had forgotten! There were some puzzles that were easier the second time around, but I’m fairly confident that most people could play this at least twice and still find it very entertaining—maybe more, depending on your level of memory loss 😄! Buy it. It’s a fun, challenging game.
