Vive le Roi 2

Excellent little logic puzzle game. The first 15-20 levels are pretty easy, the last ten or so moderately challenging. This is one of those rare puzzle games where the number of potential solutions stays manageable and you can think your way through the whole puzzle. No trial and error to whittle the number of possible solutions down required here. These puzzles are truly well-crafted. Nice! The reviewers who have actually completed the game seem to have needed 4 hours on average, so the price seems okay, maybe a bit high.

The puzzles mostly hinge on colored gates that you can open and close by walking over the corresponding colored switch. There’s also bombs which run on fuses that can be used to distract but not kill stationary enemies. There are a few other embellishments but by and large that is the game from start to finish. In that sense there may be a little shortage of variety but it’s over before that becomes a significant issue. Likewise every level uses the same graphics and music, but the game is over before this gets significantly monotonous. The puzzles are one step above casual difficulty. If you were to try to solve them the very first time without making a move some of them would be quite challenging. But most of the time if you try the obvious thing and then see why it didn’t work you can then solve it on your second try. Perhaps only the last 5 (of 35) were hard enough that an actual “aha” moment was required to solve them. For me personally, the overall difficulty and curve was about right for a relaxing but still interesting…
