Okay, this game isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea; it's hard as hell and some people might just brush the puzzles off as being dumb minigames that belong on an iPad. I can see where those people are coming from but there's so much more going on here.

First off, let's state the obvious: The visuals are gorgeous. Like this is probably the best looking game I've ever played, it's so pretty it blows my mind.

This game will NOT hold your hand in any way shape or form. You can accidentally end up in areas where you shouldn't be and won't have a single hope of knowing how to solve the puzzles there. Even though the puzzle mechanic of drawing lines on a grid remains the same, the game slowly introduces new different ways that the puzzles work, but each time a new thing is added you essentially have to figure out how it works yourself with no help! Sometimes it's obvious and other times you'll scratch your head and feel like you're about to tear out your hair before suddenly having an epiphany and feeling like an absolute genius. I like that a lot and it adds an incredibly surprising level of depth to what some might assume would just be the same thing over and over again.

If you're looking for something fast paced with lots of action, this really isn't for you. This game requires insane amounts of patience and persistence, getting stuck is painful but once you get your breakthrough it feels fantastic.
