"Pushmo World has everything I want to feel when playing a puzzle game.
Intelligent Systems' third Pushmo game — and the first to arrive on consoles — taught me to understand its rules without making learning feel like rote instruction. It twists gameplay at intervals to make the game's core challenges feel new. And, perhaps most importantly, it made me feel like a certifiable genius when I pushed and climbed to solve its grandest visual riddles."
gamrReview's Xavier Girffiths: "Puzzle games come in many different forms but what they share in common is an ability to captivate gamers by challenging their brains. In 2014 the best puzzle games had us step out of Mario’s shadow to play as Captain Toad, experience an unlikely mash-up between our favorite video game detective and lawyer, free children stuck in a park, and embark on a globe-trotting adventure to investigate a living mummy.
After solving hundreds of puzzles our minds feel that little bit sharper and our thumbs slightly more agile and reflexive. Here are the games we have to thank for that."
Great nominees, deserving winner. Shame such great games of the genre are getting overlooked by all the chav fodder saturating the market.
As good as these games are, did you completely skip The Talos Principle? Easily the best puzzle game in years.
If you’re looking for something that will challenge your brain and look positively adorable while doing it, Pushmo World is definitely worth a look.
Looking for a cheap, addictive, and creative puzzler on the Wii U? Look no further than this downloadable title.
