In puzzle games there's a distinction between games that give you all the tools needed and let you figure it out the answer, and games that hide things from you and make your brain go nuts for hours and hours, i like to compare that to "jigsaw puzzles", the first one, and "brainteasers" the second one. I myself am much more a fan of the first one, and Cocoon is for sure one of the best of this kind out there.

Cocoon is never too much, it's never too little, it always tell the players all the clues it needs while never letting too many things overload your brain by closing the finished paths behind you.

It teach's its verbs one by one, and use each one of the them to the maximum, and that goes to your basic puzzle piece to this game amazing world structure (not getting into it because spoilers). Every puzzle ahead is a matter of "what verbs do i have and what possibilities there are". To summarize this, the very last puzzle it's a lecture on this mentality, i had only one verb and from that i was able to logically codify the other ones in one go.

It's safe to say that Cocoon it's a must for puzzle fans, and i couldn't have had a better time with it
