Woodways is a clever puzzle game centered on guiding woodland animals simultaneously through increasingly complex layouts, where each animal has unique properties that players must strategically coordinate.

Woodways is a simple little puzzle game that has a really clever idea behind it. I am guiding animals through different areas of the woods and trying to get them all to their destinations, but the important part is that they all move at the same time. That means every move I make affects the whole group, so I have to think about where every animal is going instead of only worrying about one character. It starts off very easy and slowly introduces more complicated layouts, which makes it a nice game to settle into. The three animals are probably what make the puzzles work so well. I can control a buffalo, a fox and a duck, and each one has different properties and ways of interacting with the environment. I have to use those differences when planning a route, especially once the game starts mixing the animals together in tighter spaces. I like that I am not simply solving the same puzzle with a different background.

The game also does a good job of adding new mechanics as I progress. There are more than 50 levels spread across differe…

Developed and published by Sen Games, Woodways is a thoughtfully designed puzzle game that proves engaging gameplay does not require extravagant production values. Built around a deceptively simple concept, the game challenges players to guide a collection of woodland animals through a series of increasingly elaborate puzzle stages where every move affects multiple characters at once. This synchronized movement mechanic transforms familiar block-pushing puzzle design into something far more strategic, encouraging players to think several steps ahead before making even the smallest decision. As a free-to-play release, it offers an inviting experience for newcomers while still presenting enough complexity to satisfy players who appreciate carefully crafted logic puzzles. The game's strongest feature is its unique approach to movement and problem-solving. Rather than focusing on a single character, every command simultaneously influences all active animals, forcing players to account for each creature's position before taking action. The different animal types each possess distinct traits that influence how they interact with the environment, creating puzzles that become progressivel…

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
