Hexcells is a neat little puzzle game that takes the core idea of Minesweeper and adds a fresh, hexagonal twist. I went in expecting a relaxing hour or two, and that’s pretty much what I got—100%ed everything in about 1h40.

The puzzles are well-crafted and logical—no guessing required, which is always a win in my book. It’s got a minimalist vibe with clean visuals and a chill soundtrack, which makes it easy to zone out with. That said, trying to go for perfect clears (no mistakes at all) definitely adds a bit of tension, so it's not entirely zen.

But while the structure is satisfying, it’s also super short. Just as you start to really get into it, boom—you’re done. Still, for the price and the experience, it’s a decent little game to snack on between heavier titles.

If you’re puzzle-curious and like your logic games lean and clean, this one’s a tidy little brain teaser worth checking out.
