The first Hexcells was a nice little puzzle game, and this game is basically just more of that but amped up a ton. However, it's amped up to the point that I actually really didn't enjoy this one in comparison to the first. I feel that the mechanics they introduced here are just too complicated for my liking, especially ones like certain cells just flat out not telling you how many blue cells are next to them. (Like, thanks game, that's real helpful.) All the mechanics can also combine together so wildly in the later stages that it gets really hard to even find out where to start them. And it doesn't help that said later stages are almost always long and complex as hell, so they take an extensively long time to solve as well. And it also doesn't help that because of the extreme length and complexity of those stages, the mistake counter mechanic is especially punishing here. Having to redo a rather lengthy puzzle for completion if you made an error here or there is really frustrating. I just wish that this game didn't go to the extent that it did since the first game was pretty cool in my eyes, but here I really just didn't wanna bother.
