✦ AI summary

Players generally appreciate the game as a decent puzzle experience, but several key issues limit its appeal. Common complaints include poor puzzle generation that creates too many matched pairs without logical distinction, making guessing necessary rather than solving, an editor that doesn't save custom designs, and missing quality-of-life features like continuous music, adjustable hint difficulty, and number highlighting options. While some find it a good game, the core puzzle design flaws and feature limitations have led several players to withdraw their recommendations.

Not bad. There are three improvements I'd like to see. I'd like to be able to set the music to run continuously instead of shutting off after a few minutes. I'd like to be able to note the "hints" myself instead of just having them on or off completely (It's a little too easy when they're just all given to you instead of figuring them out yourself). I'd like as an option if, upon clicking a space with a number, all of that number on the field would be highlighted. After playing longer, I'm afraid I must change my review and withdraw my recommendation. Whatever method is being used to generate the puzzles, it has a tendency to generate far too many matched pairs (often many in the same puzzle) with no logical method to distinguish the placement other than guessing. That's not what Sudoku should be.

Sudoku XP takes one of the most recognizable number-based logic puzzles and presents it as a focused digital experience built around simplicity, accessibility, and board customization. Developed and published by Semi Random Games, it avoids unnecessary complications and concentrates on the familiar satisfaction of filling a Sudoku grid through deduction. Rather than attempting to transform the formula into something dramatically different, the game stays close to the traditional experience while providing tools that make it useful for players who want more control over the boards they use. The fundamental gameplay will immediately feel familiar to anyone who has spent time with Sudoku. Players analyze rows, columns, and individual regions to determine where each number belongs, gradually reducing possible solutions until the entire grid is completed correctly. There are no reflex-based mechanics or complicated combinations to memorize. Progress depends almost entirely on observation, patience, and logical elimination, giving the experience a calm rhythm that works particularly well when players want something mentally stimulating without the pressure of fast-paced gameplay.

Game unironically gave me an unwinnable puzzle on normal difficulty. Absolutely insane game design: 5 3 6 | 4 2 1 1 . . | 5 6 3 3 . . | 1 5 6 ------+------ 6 5 1 | 2 3 4 4 6 5 | 3 1 2 2 1 3 | 6 4 5

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
