Alright. [i]Unlock The King[/i] is done and dusted. This is a pretty chill little puzzle game where you manipulate chess pieces to offer the King a clear path to the end of the level. I see Sokoban listed as one of the tags. I'd call that a loose interpretation of Sokoban. You aren't really pushing boxes anywhere, but the concept of the puzzles is the same. YMMV there. [b]I will note that you really should have an understanding of chess if you're going to play this game.[/b] If not, you're probably gonna feel lost trying to figure out how to move the various chess pieces. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3712384271 As far as the puzzles go, they scale challenges in increments of ten levels. Don't take this to mean it's a particularly challenging game, however. I only felt like maybe six of the puzzles really had me stumped for a few minutes. The rest is a mix of filler puzzles that introduce new elements, and some tougher puzzles where they offer a nominal challenge.

This is a pleasant game. Not very challenging, and not very long (I finished it completely in an hour and a half). There's no counter to compare or improve how many moves you took for a puzzle, and the puzzles never get very deep, but they don't have to. It's a light and fun diversion. I picked up the series as a bundle, and I liked it enough that I'll probably play the next one at some point.
I like this one. Some levels feel fillers to make a round number in total. And since I beaten it in two evenings it is not too hard.
I played the first 15 levels. I did not find it compelling enough to continue.
Fun puzzle game. Lasts 100 levels and adds new mechanics every so often that break your brain that much more!
Chill creative puzzle game.
