EG:To me, the best puzzle games feel like they've been discovered, not designed. Like they've always been there, waiting for someone to come along and uncover them. In the world of puzzle games, developers like Drop7 co-creator Frank Lantz are scientists or explorers, unearthing perfect gems which shine with a complexity that unfurls from a set of simple rules which, once you've grasped them, feel like natural laws. Sokobond is one of these puzzle games - and fittingly, when you start playing it, it feels like a game you've discovered, too.
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."
