    It's a nice puzzle game, even being addictive. Levels in Arcade mode are very simple in the beginning, but then some of them may take a good bunch of your time. Depending on your patience, and whether you like this kind of games, you may be able to finish all the worlds, but after that, there's nothing much to do.

    It's a nice puzzle game, even being addictive. Levels in Arcade mode are very simple in the beginning, but then some of them may take a good bunch of your time. Depending on your patience, and whether you like this kind of games, you may be able to finish all the worlds, but after that, there's nothing much to do.

    It's also a very good looking game, though the lack of anti-aliasing on shapes can underwhelm your experience.

    Resistance mode is fun and this is the key feature for competitive players or those ones looking for a challenge. Local multiplayer can be fun for a night.

    In the end of the day, Art of Balance it's a fun, casual well made game, accessible for anyone.

    The total package is a game of deceptive brilliance.

    This Wii U eShop iteration is without doubt the ultimate version on offer, following the already mightily impressive WiiWare and 3DS eShop releases.
