ReThink

ReThink is a focused, logic-driven puzzle experience that places problem-solving and spatial reasoning above spectacle or narrative excess. Developed and published by Yaeko, the game presents itself as a cerebral challenge from the outset, framing its puzzles within a cold, futuristic environment where intellect is the sole tool for progress. Rather than relying on story twists or character development, ReThink commits fully to the idea that the satisfaction of understanding and mastering its systems is the primary reward. The premise situates the player in a high-tech correctional facility where progress is earned by completing a series of increasingly complex test chambers. This setup functions more as atmospheric context than as a narrative driver, but it effectively reinforces the game’s themes of isolation, observation, and logic. The absence of overt storytelling keeps the focus squarely on the puzzles themselves, allowing players to sink into a rhythm of experimentation and deduction without distraction. At the heart of the gameplay is a system built around manipulating colored laser beams using movable cubes. These cubes act as mirrors, splitters, and color combiners, and…

Rethink is a great puzzle game! Disclaimer: The story is completely pasted on and is literally just 2 lines of text, so if you play for story go play something else! With that out of the way, let's talk about why Rethink was absolutely awesome! First of all, Rethink is a logic puzzle. There are boxes that shoot lasers and boxes that redirect lasers in various directions. There are columns that need to be activated with laser of various colors to open the door to the next puzzle and for many of them you need to combine colors (or split colors). There are even interdependent puzzles where you need to solve puzzle A and B in a certain way to be able to complete puzzle C. On top of this, the game has a nice, relaxing soundtrack perfect for putting you in the puzzle solving *zone*. The game starts out fairly easy. Introducing concepts and giving you that feeling of being good at this. Nothing is hidden, nothing is obscure, the concepts are easy to grasp. The difficulty ramps up quickly, but the puzzles remain clean. There's no fake difficulty in having to search for something or discover something. There's no need for thinking outside the box, but you have to think deep *inside* the …

Fun little puzzle game, not too difficult and it ends before the concept gets old. Worth a try if you like puzzle games!

I had to turn down my graphics settings to low for the lasers to work properly. And if you have red-green colorblindness (like me) then some of the puzzles will be more difficult. If I continue with the series, I'll use the enhanced editions, which I didn't know about before starting this one.
