Anyone saying this is a short game didn't play the hard levels. No, it doesn't just get rid of the markup feature. They are kind of mirror levels. Some are the same, some are similar but solved differently.

The core game does take around 3-5 hours at most to beat. The rest is made up of the hard levels and the final level of them took me like 2 hours by itself. It took me AT LEAST 12 hours total to 100% beat the game.

Going to the game itself, I was in awe. Ever since playing Picross and the hidden gem Sorry, James that I haven't been this engrossed by a puzzle-numbers game. Every 15 levels a new mechanic is introduced and I couldn't believe my eyes.

This is a work of genius. This isn't Sudoku meets hexagons, this is Sudoku meets God. If you love puzzles, that is.

I'm someone who does a daily sudoku puzzle on the New York Times games app and naturally every once in a while I feel myself drawn to other number games. It's just an itch of mine that needs scratching.

Hexologic is such a numbers/math puzzle game and a fairly short one at that. Actually also not a particularly hard one, at least for me. But I did start and finish it in one sitting because of its cute presentation, its speedy introduction of new puzzle elements and its super polished state.

If you have the same itch, this will give you an enjoyable afternoon!

Not a bad puzzle game, but not a particularly compelling one either. Pacing felt incredibly off, with new mechanics introduced way too slowly. The last several worlds threw some very interesting mechanics into its gameplay that I wish they had introduced much earlier to allow for further development (and combination) of those, alongside several other mechanics that seem like they would have clearly fit into this game design (multiplication would have been so much fun).

A relatively relaxed puzzle game, I played the game with the guide that tells you if a part is solved the whole time because I was oblivious to what the remove guide symbol that was used meant.

Definitely my preferred way to play, just enough of my smooth brain used to make me feel accomplished while being a fun time.

The different mechanics used in the puzzles as you progress were awful fun and I'd love an expanded version.

(I promise I'll play it without the guide, I swear, keep your eyes peeled for the mastered log of this lol)

There are a billion little puzzles games like this on every storefront, but this is one worth getting. Easy to understand and addicting to play through.

I wish there was a little more to the game, more modes, more difficulty, more options. But I got this for almost nothing on the Switch and expected little but ended up pleasantly surprised.


A simple puzzle game that once in a while takes its puzzles to the next level with new mechanics that fit the original idea of the game.

Hexologic is a relaxing puzzle game in which you must fill out a grid with marks that add up to the total listed on the sides of the board. If a column has a 3 and two open spots, you can put any variation that adds up to exactly, but cannot go over or under. Additionally, every spot must contain at least a 1, a rule that actually helps the player in the long run.

As the game goes on, it starts to add a few gimmicks to the mix that make it pretty interesting, such as tiles that are synced to each other. A favorite of mine comes from later in the game when you start needing to do simple equations due to < > and = signs being in tiles, this was by far the highlight of the game for me. Each of these gimmicks is pretty good in its own right and comes alongside its own inherited rules that you will learn in order to help you beat the puzzle. An example of such is that if there are 2 empty tiles and a 5 requirement, then you can freely place 2 in each immediately.

If I had a complaint about the game, it would be regarding Hard Mode, which is required to unlock the latter achievements in the game. Normally when you fill a row with the correct amount the outline will turn Green showing you did it; this is a pretty significant QOL feature that is completely removed in Hard Mode. It never really makes the puzzles any harder, it just makes it tedious since you have to constantly look around the board and count over and over again. I don't think requiring that for achievements is a good design decision since not having the green markers is something that just brings down the quality of the game.

Pretty decent and simplistic logic puzzle game, kinda similar to Kakuro I guess. None of the puzzles were all that hard except a couple by the end, but there were some interesting mechanics that kept popping up that kept it from being monotonous. It was still really short though, but it was a fun diversion.

Um bom joguinho, bem honesto, realmente uma mistura de um puzzle de somas com uma pegada de Picross. Teve um pouco mais de tentativa e erro do que eu gostaria, mas tem umas ideias bem inteligentes.

A Kakuro variation on a hexagonal grid. Presentation is nice but a bit bland. Has a few twists but never became too complex. I think it could do with more levels, and a bit more complexity.

Very zen puzzle game that doesn't overstay its welcome. I would love a sequel or level pack of some sort that includes some more complexity.

Nice little logic puzzle game. Introduces new mechanics at a good pace, and game doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. I do wish that there were markup tools. ~4 hours to complete.

satisfying minimalist puzzler. maintains a good balance between challenging and relaxing whilst going easy on the senses — makes it great for winding down. not much else to it but can't complain for the price, especially when on sale

Hexologic puts a twist on sudoku to great effect! The visual design and clarity of the puzzles was excellent, The difficulty was tuned just about right, visually it looks quite pretty with its artstyle. Puzzles flowed logically and new mechanics were introduced in a timely manner. All in all a great package and definitely a recommend from me.

It's a logic puzzle game. If you're looking for that, here you go. The whole time I was playing it I felt like it was more of a phone game, and was smugly smiling when I saw there's Android and iOS versions. Got in the Ukraine Humble Bundle.

Muy bueno si te gustan los sudokus y los retos que incrementan la dificual gradualmente 👌
