Puzzle Compound

Was fun.

It's quite fun, a bit frustrating sometimes. You need at least someone else to be able to play the game. Most puzzles involve more than one person, those are the one that are really engaging. The other ones are a bit hit or miss, but nothing really boring. Overall I enjoyed my time with the game, looking forward to new maps.

Game is alright, but soured by the final "puzzle". Slight spoiler... but the final puzzle is just 1 person reading 4 words on a screen and having the other player press a button. Absolutely terrible final puzzle to have but overall the games a 6/10

I got some solid engagement out of this. All the puzzles seemed solid, and it was great fun to share it with a friend. I hope they release more level packs or similar.

Completed as a 2-player party using Discord. Puzzle Compound is a little rough around the edges, but includes some interesting puzzles and 5 independent maps, each lasting about an hour. Nothing too difficult for co-op puzzler veterans. There is some frustration stemming from room scanning through assets for puzzle pieces, but this is common is some escape room games. This game was fun to play through fresh. I disliked the speed run achievements - they were a challenge but did not add enjoyment. Some puzzles are randomized and static puzzles should be memorized to save time. We played each map roughly 4 times (1x for first play, then 3x for speedrun).

Played with a pair of mentally disabled boys and it was honestly pretty tough for them. Ended up solving the majority of the puzzles solo, and there was even math in one section which the more disabled of the two couldn't understand. Solid puzzle game, but not for your slower audiences.
