Poems & Codes

Interesting concept of game. Love to solve riddles and ciphers. 10/10

This game is a sequel to the previous one by these publishers, Prose and Codes, and everything that I said in my review of Prose and Codes also applies to this game - It's a relaxing puzzler of substitution ciphers, good for playing before bedtime, with selectable difficulty levels. However, there are two major differences between the two games. Firstly, you get to read the entire poem after solving each "set" of ciphers, regardless of whether you were given the entire poem to solve or just selected parts of it. Secondly, you can read a brief biography of each poet. Both these features have really enhanced my understanding and enjoyment of all the poems in the game. Prose and Codes was amazing. Poems and Codes is even better!

Not too hard but not too easy either

'Twas the nostalgia of youth that led me to this game. The local newspapers my granny would get had a similar word puzzle game in the Entertainment section — which was something I enjoyed solving each week back then.

What a great game! I discovered numerous new poets and had such a joy solving the puzzles. I cannot understand the negative reviews. Some of the shorter poems are hard to solve and some of the words are hard to find (English is not my first language), but you can get hints and change the overall difficulty. There is plenty to do and it took me more than 50 hours to finish. I had a great time!

Those who love reason and rhyme, Will find much pleasure in this game, Should only one be worth their time They might enjoy it all the same.
