    I wonder if anyone rating >5/10 really played this game to the end. After beating the game, gathering all crowns with ease, using minimum # of boxes (sometimes I used 0 when less than 30 was needed for "3-star". Question to level designers: was I supposed to cheat like that with ease?). For the 99.9% of the game I thought "OMG, this tutorial is really long...".

Now I can honestly claim that this is one of the easiest and dull logic game ever. I don't even remember if there was ever a game that caused so many yawns during gameplay. I see only one reason to buy this game: If you need to use a toilet to make "#2" this game may be good choice to help you with that.… Expand

    BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL! is a fantastic continuation for this not-so-finished-after-all franchise. [Issue #40 – July/August 2019, p. 24]

    Overall, Boxboy! + Boxgirl! does much more right than wrong. Outside of some ambiguity in how to perfectly solve a puzzle and a generally underwhelming visual style, Boxboy! + Boxgirl! is a daringly innovative puzzle-platformer. There’s so much to see, so much to do, and with another person in tow the whole adventure takes on a different dimension. This is one of the best new franchises to come out of Nintendo and HAL in recent times and further proof of how both companies are not showing any signs of slowing down. Boxboy! + Boxgirl! should be on everyone’s download lists.
