![]() ![]() ![]() I quite enjoyed the original Hexcells so after completing it I started on this "standalone expansion" straight after.īlue hint hexes like above show how many blue hexes are within a 2-hex radius Most likely I managed to get the key from either the generous Mix-Master (a friend of mine on Steam) or one of the Whirlpudlians on the Whirlpool forums (there is a thread that offers free keys). How I got itI managed to get the key for this game in 2016 (as part of the Hexcells Complete Pack which includes Hexcells, Hexcells Plus and Hexcells Infinite) but I can't quite remember how. Hexcells Plus was well received by Steam users with a "Very Positive" rating based on 94% of the 1,199 reviews being positive. The game I'm reviewing today, Hexcells Plus, was released on Steam the same day as the original Hexcells but it serves as a "standalone expansion" to the original, offering 36 more new levels to complete and introducing new hint methods such as hexes indicating how many blue hexes are within a certain radius.Īs it was with the original Hexcells, you are assessed on how effective you are at clearing levels for if you make too many mistakes you're barred access from future levels. As you make your way through the game, it will provide you other ways of determining where the blue hexes are such as numbers on the side of the grid similar to Nonograms. Clearing hexes that aren't blue hexes will provide you a number that gives you a clue as to how many blue hexes are in adjacent hexes. The aim of the game is to clear out all the hexes on the board by marking where the blue hexes are (similar to the bomb squares in Minesweeper) and removing hexes when you're sure it's not meant to be marked as a blue hex. The game is like a cross of Minesweeper and Nonograms (aka Picross) except played on a hexagonal grid. What is itThere isn't much information out there about British indie developer Matthew Brown but since about 2014 he has been quite prolific in pumping out games, especially puzzle games.īrown made his mark with the game I reviewed previously called Hexcells which was released in 2014. Everytime I try to come back to NWN I feel "forced" to start with the original campaign.Hexcells Plus offers more challenging puzzles than the original I enjoy starting from level 1 and climbing the ladder - I totally get lost if I have to start with high level character and I feel like it's "not mine". Thus everytime I give NWN a new go, I start a new and promptly get bored within next 10hours or so. On the other hand I really liked the character creation and progression system, so restarting with a new char is something I do quite often. Maybe I should try multiplayer OC with someone, that could bring some life into it. ![]() On the topic, still playing Ancestors Legacy and having fun with second campaign. Also managing my team in Football Manager, came from 3rd French league into playing 2nd time in a row in Champions League in a matter of 6-7 years. But man is 3-5-2 a risky thing to still try - but I refuse to give up on that.Īlso, eff PSG. I swear my long-term target is to win at least ONE league so PSG doesn't Every time they're NOT winning a single game, the whole league celebrates. I beat the first one ages ago and after playing Portal Reloaded I realized just how badly I needed some logic in these ambiguous times. If you've never played it, it is a simple logic puzzle game that basically plays like Minesweeper on a hex grid. ![]()
