I don’t play a lot of puzzle games, but this one kept me playing until the bitter end no matter how frustrated I got, which I think is the highest possible recommendation I could give. The difficulty has to curve in order to reward solving a difficult challenge, so that some of the harder puzzles function as “boss fights.”
It’s not just that this game has to contain a number of interesting puzzles built using a mechanic that’s easy to understand. I think this is also a good game for demonstrating that puzzle games are harder to build than they look. I don’t know what it is, but the music just stimulates me so that I never get tired of iterating through strategies for getting through the levels. The key deliverables are 1.)

Her passive ability Double Time gives her a movement speed boost when she is fired at. It keeps the experience interesting without being distracting. Her tactical ability Smoke Launcher deploys a smokescreen that heavily reduces visibility in the affected area. The music and aesthetics in this game are peerless for the genre. I also like how walking back lines can reset lines that you’ve overwritten, so you don’t lose too much progress if you realize you’ve made a mistake. I like how you can click and drag lines and just leave them to tinker with later if you need to, like you’re moving physical objects around as you think about the best solution. I think this might actually have the most polish I’ve ever seen in a puzzle game. Game details Cardinal Chains is a simple and minimalist game but will challenge your thinking skills. I made it to the end of the demo, but not without some serious mental yoga.
When I first started playing it I was like “this is simple enough,” but that’s how puzzle games always get you, isn’t it? By about the fiftieth level I was in too deep to let it beat me.
