New and improved gameplay elements:
The "Evolved" branch of the ReThink Series always had the most features, this game is no different.
It comes with almost every feature known from the previous 4 games, often improves them and then adds some new things on top.
Less linear progress:
Unlike previous games, in ReThink | Evolved 5 you are often more free to go where you want within an area, letting you decide which path you want to take, what puzzles to solve first.
Improved Levels:
ReThink | Evolved 5 comes with the largest Levels of any of the ReThink games, as was requested by Feedback in the past, therefore reducing level transitions to a minimum while conveying a sense of scale and place.
What you see, is what you get: If you see a Puzzle that you can not access yet, you will eventually get there, as is normal for the ReThink games.
Overall improved features:
While the game does not reinvent the wheel, it improves the gameplay and usability through a variety of changes and additions.
Many of these changes are aimed at giving players a greater tolerance when handling cubes and solving puzzles, improving the overall feeling of the game.
Improved Graphics:
Thanks to Unreal Engine 5, ReThink | Evolved 5 looks better than the previous games, while still running "as usual" on older systems when the new graphics are disabled.
Fully dynamic Global Illumination makes the simplistic style of the game shine, while not limiting player actions or Puzzles like previous lighting methods would have.
Additional Soundtrack:
Players wanted one, now they got one.
There is now a choice between the games original Soundtrack, and the new one introduced with ReThink 4.

✦ AI summary
Players praise this ReThink Evolved puzzle game for its engaging, progressively challenging levels that build upon familiar mechanics from the series, with new 3D spatial elements adding welcome complexity alongside beautiful aesthetics and calming music. Most find the difficulty well-balanced and solvable with logical thinking, though a few note the later puzzles become quite tough and the game requires decent graphics hardware to run smoothly.
Great puzzler. Its the evolved version, its similar to the other Rethink Evolved games. For each level you finish it will keep getting more and more interesting and advanced. Really recommended if you liked the other evolved games3 found this helpful
Another great ReThink game in the Evolved series. Redirect lasers to activate colored blocks and fields, and play around with color theory to split up colors into their base. Overall rather easy, aside from the last 2-3 puzzles, but still fun as always!2 found this helpful
Another highly engaging and delightful installment in the series! Needless to say, if you have enjoyed the previous ReThink and ReThink | Evolved games, this is a must have. Puzzles are challenging but not maddingly so - if you find yourself stuck, take a break and come back with a fresh perspective. This installment introduces new targets suspended like banners in air and makes heavy use of suspension/floating chambers to position cubes in 3 dimensions versus just 2 which adds a great layer of complexity. All the other familiar Evolved puzzle elements are here as well, plus the beautiful and peaceful architectural setting and music. Note that these games take some graphics horsepower to drive that Unreal engine so be sure your computer is up to the task or use a virtual PC platform like Shadow PC. Thank you to the Developer for continuing to provide such high quality games! Bravo Zulu!1 found this helpful
