Most of the puzzles in the campaign can be completed in a matter of minutes although there are some where there are over a hundred hexes to reveal and it can take quite a long time to finish, especially if you're trying to complete them with no mistakes as it requires you to be extra cautious.

Just like the previous game Hexcells Plus, Hexcells Infinite has a campaign mode with 36 hand-crafted levels by Matthew Brown but if you ever make it through these levels and want to try out more puzzles, now you can! Hexcells Infinite comes with a random puzzle generator meaning you'll essentially never run out of puzzles to try out.

I quite enjoyed the original Hexcells and after completing its first "standalone expansion" Hexcells Plus I just had to finish the last one.

Most likely I managed to get the key from either the generous Mix-Master (a friend of mine on Steam) or one of the Whirlpudlians on the Whirlpool forums (there is a thread that offers free keys). I managed to get the key for this game in 2016 (as part of the Hexcells Complete Pack which includes Hexcells, Hexcells Plus and Hexcells Infinite) but I can't quite remember how. Hexcells Infinite was well received by Steam users with a "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating based on 96% of the 2,127 reviews being positive. Hexcells Infinite does differ from its predecessors in that it comes with a random puzzle generator too.Īs it was with the first two Hexcells games, you are assessed on how effective you are at clearing levels for if you make too many mistakes you're barred access from future levels. Just like Hexcells Plus it serves as a "standalone expansion" to the original, offering 36 more new levels to complete along with similar gameplay mechanics. The game I'm reviewing today, Hexcells Infinite, was released on Steam a few months after the original Hexcells and Hexcells Plus. As you make your way through the game, it will provide you other ways of determining where the blue hexes are such as numbers on the side of the grid similar to Nonograms. Clearing hexes that aren't blue hexes will provide you a number that gives you a clue as to how many blue hexes are in adjacent hexes.

The aim of the game is to clear out all the hexes on the board by marking where the blue hexes are (similar to the bomb squares in Minesweeper) and removing hexes when you're sure it's not meant to be marked as a blue hex. The game is like a cross of Minesweeper and Nonograms (aka Picross) except played on a hexagonal grid. There isn't much information out there about British indie developer Matthew Brown but since about 2014 he has been quite prolific in pumping out games, especially puzzle games.īrown made his mark with the game I reviewed previously called Hexcells which was released in 2014.

Hexcells Infinite is very similar to Hexcells Plus, except better
