  • Summary: A rainstorm so fierce, it will keep you from leaving your home for the next six months. Wetrix just might be the most addictive puzzle game of all time. Using randomly shaped 3D blocks as they fall from the sky, you must create a series of lakes and dams before the heavy rains appear. Because if the water drains, you lose! Sound simple? Well, mix in a few natural disasters and bomb attacks, and suddenly you need to muster all your strategy and skill to combat nature's fury!… Expand

    Take everything you love about puzzle games, throw in fast-paced arcade/pinball style action, and you have Wetrix. What began as an attempt to program realistic looking water on the Nintendo 64 has turned into one of the best and most original puzzle games ever conceived.

    Wetrix is weird, wild and incredibly addictive. It might not appeal to you if you're not keen on puzzle games, although you might surprise yourself if you give it a try.

    Wetrix is an addictive waste of time for one player and shows that there is still room for innovation and originality in the puzzle genre. Buy it, but don't expect to immediately like it. It takes time.

    Once you get the hang of things, Wetrix can be an addictive and fun puzzler. Don't feel bad if you can't be bothered to dip your toe in, though - you won't be the only one.

    The funniest alternative version of Tetris I've ever played, addictive and hypnotic.

    Original, challenging and fun, but it doesn't live up to past puzzlers such as, say.... TETRIS.
