Oh, no, a puzzle game. I think puzzles and horror are the least my jam, if I can completely honest. Horror just because I'm a bit scaredy-cat, but I don't like how puzzle games fundamentally work. I just don't like the premise of "here is a puzzle, a question, if you will", and once you answer it, that's it. Once you've solved the mystery, there's not much reason to replay it.
I also don't like not being able to solve stuff and feeling stupid. Which, I mean, I am, but that's beside the point.
Puzlogic plays like a wilder version of sudoku: You're given a supply of numbers, and need to place them all on the board. The actual puzzle field isn't just a square, though, and take all sorts of shapes and disconnected elements. Interface works about how you'd expect with drag-and-drop, although I really wish I could interface just by clicking alone without dragging. For completing puzzles, you get stars, although the actual conditions for getting them seem a bit weird: "make no mistakes" seems to actually mean "place every piece perfectly the first time", and to get the star for no hints, you have to explicitly turn all hints off - it's not enough to complete the puzzle without ever activating hints.
Later puzzles pile on the complexity, such as having to have rows and columns also add up to particular numbers, additional groupings, and comparisons. For my tiny walnut brain that only knows how to play maybe two video games good, it's all a bit much, but Puzlogic absolutely escalates things for aspiring puzzle-solvers, and is pretty quick to do so once you've been introduced to the basics.
Full disclosure: I didn't get remotely near this far, this is a picture from the store page. Which is fine, since my head exploded just looking at this puzzle.
Luckily, efforts were put in to make it as relaxing as possible to solve puzzles. The background is a simple color with a swirly-marbling pattern (that, even after staring at for a while, I'm not sure if it's animated or not). The music is quiet ambience with long held notes, mixed with birds chirping. There are occasional, subtle leaf graphics floating by. Puzlogic is a very friendly experience to my senses, which is important in a game designed to boggle the mind.
Still, it's just not my jam, as puzzle games tend to be. I completed about 1/4 of the puzzles and decided that was enough for me. I can see that Puzlogic is quite good at what it does, however, though I wish there were a couple extra control options for accessibility reasons. Puzzle fans should get in on this one, and even if you don't own the bundle, hey, it's $3.
In spite of my own preferences, and for as far I went, I enjoyed it. Puzlogic is a good game.
