    Newcomers should have fun from the start of Box Boy + Box Girl. Old-timers will have to dig a little more. Everyone who plays will likely finish feeling at least a shade more clever. That’s always a nice feeling to get from a game.

    BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL! is a delightful, unique puzzle game worth checking out. With the most lovable boxes in gaming history and the brainteasing powers of a New York Times Sunday crossword, only a square would miss out on this release.

    It’s a more accessible, fully featured version of an already great game.

    A puzzle platformer that smoothly finesses the line between feeling challenging and keeping me motivated.

    The best in the series, with much more levels and a pretty fun cooperative mode.

Main puzzles are pretty easy, but completing with low amount of boxes while collecting all crowns gets pretty challenging as you keep going. Level structure and instant rollback work really well in eliminating frustration games of this kind tend to have.… Full Review »
