Hook es uno de los mejores juegos de puzles minimalistas que he jugado en mi vida.
Hook es un juego de puzles super simple, con una música relajante que enlaza perfectamente, un diseño básico y bonito, tiene un nivel de dificultad que va escalando progresivamente de forma muy lineal llegando a ser bastante complejo, pero sabiendo iniciar y darte las instrucciones básicas de forma tan intuitiva que no se necesita ni tutorial.
Vale poco mas de 1€, si no tienes nada mejor que hacer es una experiencia bastante agradable que llega a entretener bastante.

started to mildly enjoy this about halfway through and it has a pleasant and unobtrusive minimalist style. however, towards the end, it became frustrating having to trace increasingly long and winding lines from A to B. unfortunately, there's little deduction or intuition beyond variations on this core solution. the last few levels were reminding me of having to untangle wires 🥴
I found the best way to play Hook is sparingly in sessions lasting from 10 to 20 minutes, consisting of 1-3 puzzles. It had great therapeutic effect on me tbh. Tinkering with devices in no rush, calm and unassuming music. I felt at peace and my mind switched off its usual "frantic" mode every time I booted the game.
Steam deck run: OK.

Hook is a well done minimalist puzzle game with subtle, relaxing background music. There are currently 69 levels, and new puzzle mechanics are first presented in isolation so that players can figure how it works.
I would say that Hook is not difficult since personally I only had trouble on level 63 due to one of the hook nodes unexpectedly sending back a signal to another node, but thankfully once I realized what was happening, I was able to disconnect the two nodes without more issues. Those who are familiar with puzzle games will take about 2-3 hours to finish.
Considering the price, I highly recommend Hook for anyone who likes simple and relaxing puzzle games to complete.
There is also a dark mood, which launches the to score to a 10/10 ;)

All puzzles completed. A small and deceptively simple puzzle game, Hook is essentially a virtual version of pick-up-sticks, challenging players to clear the play area of hooked sticks sequentially, based on the connections from a starting point to each stick, without disturbing any of the others at each step. Across a total of 50 puzzles, despite a simple premise, the later puzzles become fairly challenging, with new mechanics introduced including multiple starting points, rotatable segments that complete and break connections, etc. Overall, a nicely relaxing if limited experience.
