DeVuego LATAM

The clever gameplay and slick presentation of Sokobond Express will have you happily pushing more atoms than Niels Bohr.

Given the very specific nature of the puzzles, and the greater degree of difficulty than you’d normally see in this broad genre, there isn’t too much more to say about the game. It is purely a matter of whether you’re ready and willing to embrace its challenge or you’re not. I can’t say that in terms of implementation that I can fault it, if nothing else its general construction is quite simple so there’s not much to get wrong. If you’ve been looking for a very different kind of puzzler that will really challenge you to bring your A game this should do the trick, but if you’re not down to drive yourself a bit crazy with it you’ll want to stick to simpler fare.

A challenging mix of chemistry and puzzles

It is easy to pick up and play while looking to pass the time for a few minutes. Though its difficulty spikes and slightly too revealing hint system are at odds with its design, I found it to be a delightful puzzle experience that even taught me a few things about atoms and ions. While I am not head over heels for it, there was certainly some chemistry to be found.
