Crew 167: The Grand Block Odyssey

Remember in Pokémon the puzzles in seafoam caverns and ice cave with the boulders? Now imagine that made into a full scale game. But no cute dog fighting.

[b]Story:[/b] Mediocre sci-fi story, although the twist caught me off-guard. [b]Visual:[/b] Just alright, where few areas/cutscenes feel done by amateurs. [b]Audio:[/b] Not bad, although I expect more since the game offers some story. The voice acting is surprisingly good for an indie game. [b]Other:[/b] This game runs well on Linux. [b]Gameplay:[/b] Overall it's a great and challenging Sokoban puzzle game, although with some bad level design. What I like, + It's true you can discover/understand mechanics without any tutorial. + On the last section of each area, you can choose to solve just 2 puzzles or try to solve all 4 puzzles. + New mechanics introduced on most/all new areas, which makes the puzzle feel fresh. + 3 accessibility features. What I don't like, - Some levels only can be solved in 1 (one) way. This got me stuck and decided to take ~2 months break before completing the game. - All guides I found on the internet only cover early to middle section of the game. If you're a casual player, you'll have hard a time. [b]Conclusion:[/b] Great Sokoban game, but other part of the game is just average. I'd recommend this game on sale/discount.

Bon petit jeu de Sokoban. Un excellent level design, les mécaniques sont introduites et explicitées par l'intermédiaire des puzzles eux-mêmes, et cela sans à-coups, graduellement, ce qui est largement la façon de faire que je préfère. Cette façon d'introduire les concepts me fait penser un peu à The Witness, pour ceux qui l'ont essayé. J'en aurais pris beaucoup plus. L'histoire ne m'a pas particulièrement accroché, mais c'est une question de goût. Une mention spéciale au développeur: il y a absolument [i]zéro[/i] guide de ce jeu sur internet, et je suis resté coincé sur quelques achievements que je ne voyais absolument pas comment débloquer. J'ai écrit sur les forums de Steam pour voir si quelqu'un avait une idée, et c'est le développeur lui-même qui m'a répondu, quelques minutes après tout au plus, pour non pas me donner la solution complète mais, encore mieux, des indices qui m'ont permis de finalement les dénicher. Fantastique support pour un jeu sorti depuis plusieurs années déjà. Recommandé.

I finally finished this very good puzzle game! The intiguing atmosphere kept me spellbound thoughout the game, thanks to the soundtrack. I enjoyed racking my brains to solve the puzzles, to continue in the mystery of this beautiful adventure. I had met in Montreal at the Dreamhack 2019 festival, Jonathan Chouinard the game developer, I was happy to meet and talk to him about the game and have the chance to play the demo. I knew at that time, that it was my type of game. Thank you to the whole team for your project and congratulations for the good gaming experience!

I admit, I should have payed more attention to game images and videos. But moving or kicking boxes is not how I want to play the puzzle that cost $10. I dont even understand how that would help the main character.

not fun at all.very depressive and boring.but yet have the own meaning playing it.give it a try if u dont feel on mood and still wanna get deeper.
