Sokobos Reviews

Very fun sokoban puzzle game. Do recommend!

I have to admit to feeling proud for finally finishing this Ancient Greeks-themed sokoban game, but not because I've demonstrated great prowess or procedural insight - no, I'm proud because I've doggedly persevered for more than 49 hours spread over nearly a year to complete 90 levels (base game and DLC) in spite of my many false starts and failed strategies! So many times I've had the end of a level apparently in my grasp, only to realise that there's a fatal flaw. But the eventual successes were sweet, and never did I feel that the game itself was at fault, just my lack of skill and foresight. In fact, I found Sokobos to be a very clever and attractive game, with some novel mechanics (like having to make pieces the right colour by moving them over areas of paint), and with appropriate overarching mini-stories (building & decorating a temple, and negotiating a maze to try to get Aphrodite's approval for a marriage). All credit to the developer for producing very tricky but somehow compelling (rather than off-putting or discouraging) levels.
