Pixels or Death's Mike Barrett review the recently released indie puzzler, Sokobond.
"I was always a “good student” in school. One of those kids cracking jokes in the back of the class, I never had to work very hard to earn excellent marks and never really knew what it was like to struggle in school or fall short no matter how much effort was invested.
At least, not until playing Sokobond. I failed repeatedly during my time with Sokobond. In fact, you might say I dropped out—I haven’t been able to complete all of the game’s puzzles despite hours of work."
Sokobond combines wonderfully a fantastic puzzle experience and a unique means of educating its players. Everything is done so masterfully that it is hard to even find a flaw. Check out this indie game review from Jason Capp.
"It's rare to come across a puzzler as enjoyable and challenging as Sokobond, especially considering the fact that it's educational albeit in a subtle way. With lots of puzzles to solve, you'll gladly combine elements for hours within its campaign that's full of variety." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
GameGrin's Ruth Krabacher writes: "While education and gaming are not as far apart on the spectrum as some concerned parents’ groups would have you believe, they’re still not exactly cozy with one another at the best of times. As part of the generation that got some of the first “educational” games in primary school—which often seemed to have more emphasis on educational than game—I’m admittedly a bit suspicious of anything that tries to teach me through games. And admittedly, Sokobond doesn’t make that claim, but it does fall in that same arena."
