    This is not just another falling brick game; Hexic is a keen evolution of the genre that gives the player a lot more credit than most puzzle games do.

    It feels both incredibly easy and almost impossible at the same time. This game could take over your life and you’ll go willingly, dreaming of Black Pearls.

    It is definitely a game that can be likened to chess in that to be really successful, you’ll need to plan 2-3 moves ahead.

    But if you're in the mood for one of the more cerebral, calming puzzle experiences around, you could do a whole lot worse than fire Hexic up when you're between games - if only to trounce the high scores of your buddies.

    Hexic is a brilliant game! A great game created by that insane Russian guy that made Tetris, Hexic is an amazing follow up, that has great modes, and tight graphics. Finally getting a black pearl is major braging rigths among your friends.… Expand

    Pretty fun game. From the creator of Tetris. However, I enjoyed Tetris much more than this game. Hexic is more of just a little side thing more than a full fledged game. If you like puzzle games, then you will definitely like this, but at times it can just become more of a brain-sore than fun.… Expand

    Free with a hard disk, fun and colourful but nothing exciting. You feel as if you could have spent all your time playing something more fun. But a pretty good puzzle game. Nothing you should really bother about though.… Expand
