Nurikabe World

What a great puzzle game this is! It doesn't have a narrative or anything, so it's just a set of puzzles one after another. But it's a joy to learn and apply all the new mechanics. It reminds me of nonogram puzzles in that respect. However, it's presented in a very chill environment. I've sunk 20 hours in already and I've got quite a few hard puzzles to go.

A neat twist on minesweeper, I get a lot of enjoyment out of this great little logic puzzler. The music and visuals take the game up a notch, as by completing islands you end up creating some beautiful sceneries, and by the end of each level you have a pretty landscape to admire.

Nurikabe has quickly become one of my favourite puzzles after learning about it through a daily puzzle game called Thinky Dailies (it rotates puzzle types, and one day it happened to be introducing Nurikabe). The way you place down walls (rivers, in this game) to create rooms (islands) is simple but quickly leads to interesting logic as you have to consider reachability, connection, and whether you're going to create any 2x2s. Desiring more Nurikabe to sate my ever-growing hunger for these puzzles, I went searching for games, upon which I landed on this one. It met all of my expectations for a game of this nature. It has a good amount of puzzles, split into multiple campaigns, which ramp up in difficulty very nicely. The first campaign is all about teaching the basics, but people who are already familiar with the puzzle and techniques for solving can just skip through quickly while newbies are taught the rules and mechanics. Then later puzzles start introducing different hints and tips for solving more complex puzzles. There are even some side puzzles that are a bit more tricky but don't rely on techniques the player hasn't been taught yet. One thing I enjoy is that the puzzles aren't always on a basic square or rectangular grid - there are also puzzles on unusually shaped grids which provide extra considerations. Outside of the main campaigns, you also have daily puzzles, user-generated puzzles, and an infinite mode. These all provide extra long-term content for the game, and I can see myself coming back regularly to do the dailies, or going through some user-generated campaigns. The presentation of this game also merits special mention - it absolutely nails it in this department. The visuals are lovely, and feel far less dry than you'd probably expect a logic puzzle to be. Seeing the buildings and flora sprouting up on completed islands is very satisfying and gives a slightly more visceral feel to the simple action of surrounding an island with water. Little attention to detail is also appreciated, such as whirlpools forming when you create a 2x2 of water, providing a clear visual signifier of your error. There are also multiple seasonal themes, which each have their own unique visuals and music. Said music is great - it's very calm and relaxed which is perfect for thinking about more complex puzzles. All said, this is just about the perfect Nurikabe game, and I would recommend getting it even at full price. The amount of content here should keep you busy for a while, and it's easily the most visually satisfying way to solve Nurikabe puzzles that I'm aware of.

I'm not a paper puzzle player fan, but this puzzle variant does attract me. I like this game because it contains tutorial, editors and puzzle generator modules. They are awesome!

pencil and paper style puzzles, with an extremely relaxing atmosphere. The puzzles in the main game feel like they go by really fast, but daily puzzles and a small but high quality selection of user-created levels give this a lot of longevity. solving the puzzles often has a nice 'flow' to it, where one small deduction leads to you continually carving out a larger part of it. Great game for anyone who likes logic puzzles.

Wonderful pen and paper puzzles with great options in the Steam Workshop too

nice game. It's comfy and or cozy

Relaxing puzzle game, great for long or short play sessions. The daily puzzles are a nice touch, and I haven't even looked into user-made levels or the level editor yet. Definitely worth the price. ♥

Genial para personas a las que les gusten los puzles japoneses de deducción. Dificultad progresiva y muchas horas de juego.
