A bittersweet end to my "Cells" game adventure.

CrossCells is definitely the most different of the bunch. The math a little more in your face here. And things seem much more open than they really are. The game won't immediately check a bad step like other Cells games. So, if you don't realize you made a mistake you can end up following a path that still makes sound sense for quite awhile before finding out you goofed. This openness can deceive you into believing there's more than one solution. But like all the other Cells games before it; There is only one solution. And the puzzle are meticulously crafted. You just have to check yourself here. Double check your logic is sound and leave your ego at the door. Which is what makes these new folds work. CrossCells would lack any real challenge if it checked your missteps. Just the nature of this particular beast.

I had fun and enjoyed the new challenge. But admittedly enjoyed it the least of the series. Compound that with it being the last of the series and well... Bittersweet.
