Hexcells plus is the devil spawn of the simple logic puzzle game that stole our hearts, Hexcells.

While at its core, Hexcells is a fun, loving simple logic puzzler, Plus is what happens when demons spawn on the streets and start dragging people to hell. For how the game feels, you can read my review of Hexcells. Plus is the same game but with much harder levels, which you shouldn't be playing unless you've tasted the sweet fruits of the first one. Plus is hard to the point of getting stuck in a level and just not seeing any way to progress through it any further. It had me guessing on some levels which really should not be done in a logic puzzle. I'm not sure whether I just didn't see the clues or if the puzzles were designed that way.

Think of it like eating chili peppers. The mild ones have a rich taste, not too hot and spicy enough to open a pallet of flavors. Plus is what happens when you eat that 700.000 scoville habanero pepper and just cannot taste anything for a week after that. That's kind of how I feel about Hexcells plus. It's still fun, I still kept coming back to it after failing many times. I'd only recommend it if you tried the first game and were left wanting more. 11 hours to 100%.
