Pure Logic

TLDR: It's not that I strictly don't recommend this game, but it's not the best version of what it could be. Pros: I like the minimalistic aesthetic of the game, I even changed my mind on the fact that it doesn't do full screen on 3840x2160, makes it feel even more simplistic when it's in window mode. The challenges made me find and learn some interesting patterns that I never imagined existed, I always like that about puzzle games. Cons: It's too easy to make a trivial mistake and you are being punished for it: the gate symbols after a while start blur in my head and I simply make mistake confusing XOR with OR (an easy solution would be to have the option of adding labels on the gates) and if you make a mistake you have to redo the puzzle from the beginning, even though you already solved part of it, you have to do it again, which is frustrating. There are too many puzzles that are not methodical in their solution. You either have to keep a lot of different gate relationships in your head or do trial and error, neither of which is (for me) a fun form of solving a logic puzzle. Sometimes solutions feel non-deterministic and arbitrary just because I stumbled upon them on the first trial. All in all, I like this game, but I feel like it needs improvement.

非常纯粹的逻辑推理游戏，规则很简单但充满逻辑，难度循序渐进，不会让人觉得很难。

1. This game very quickly gets into trial-and-error. So called "difficulty" is just making guess inside a guess. Not so fun to play after the point that every puzzle becomes a guess. 2. No undo option after clicking "confirmation", which mean after whatever mistakes you made, small ones or bad guesses, you have to start over the whole thing. 3. A real-time error-proof mechanism is greatly appreciated, for example highlighting conflicts, checkpoint, etc. Above review comes from someone plays SE 9-10 Sudoku in daily routine. This kind of trial-of-error, something similar I can think of is to play those level of sudoku puzzles without pencil marks and conflict highlighting, is pointless.

Добротная головоломка, хоть и довольно нишевая. Благодаря ней я стал лучше понимать логические схемы, спасибо разрабу за такую игру.

正如其名 非常pure了

Exactly what the title says: Pure Logic puzzles. I've been working with logic gates for a long time but something about this game gave me a new understanding of their functions. I feel like I now have a more holistic idea of which gate to choose for which situation IRL. Highly recommend. EDIT: A comment on "guessing": Several reviewers have pointed out that later levels require "guessing." This isn't exactly true. All advanced logic games (logic grids, Sudoku, etc.) will at some point have a defined set of possible answers based on the current state of the board. So you'll have to choose one of the set and see if it works. Often this set will only contain 2 possible solutions (one of the gates will have a signal that will be ON or OFF). I disagree with the word "guess" here. If you've narrowed the entire solution set (BIG) down to only 1-3 solutions, that's called "winning."
