Molecats is unique puzzle where remind me old game Lemmings, but without deaths. Speaking about Lemmings I found this game to contain a little bit of that style in it but Molecats is far from being a carbon copy because it features a slew of interesting mechanics. These mechanics then keep things fresh for the most part and this is very important in my opinion because it gives you a reason to return. Getting used to these mechanics will take a bit of getting used to though but I do recommend that you do get used to them because when you get more confident you start to realise quite quickly just how creative and rewarding the puzzles are.

Molecats puzzles are clever to say the least and solving them does require thought which gives you a feeling of accomplishment when you complete each one. When playing games in the puzzle genre the games are usually ones you enjoy or don't, and there rarely seems to be an in-between in the puzzle genre. I am a mega fan of puzzle games dating back to the uncountable hours of Tetris. Molecat's mechanics then keep things unique in a way which keeps your interest in solving the next level. The mechanics will take a little getting us to but once you get the feel you realize how creative the puzzles are. Solving these puzzles though will require quite a lot of thought and some patience. I was able to look past the difficulty as a puzzle fan and the variety in the level design and cute presentation were nice as well. There isn’t much variety present in the story, but the story ultimately isn't an important part for me in a puzzle game. Molecats is a puzzle game that will test your limits and you may become frustrated on occasion When you get past that though you find a game that offers you a lot of intricate action and a sense of accomplishment, so if you're into puzzle games like myself you 'll likely want to add Molecats to you Xbox One library of games.
