Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times

MUY MUY RECOMENDABLE SI TE GUSTAN LOS PUZLES O LOS IMSIMS. Lo unico que no me gusta es que no haya opción para español.

A neat puzzle game

Some minor inconveniences (typos galore, repetitive music) should absolutely not keep you from giving this game a change. Seriously, this is one of the most criminally underrated, underappreciated gems of the past few years. The fact that it's the effort of a single solo dev just blows my mind. Totally recommended.

Good game

Fantastic game. 100% after 26 hours, and looking forward to playing some randomized runs. I could write a crazy long review about how everything works so well together, but I don't wanna spoil any of the experience.

I can't write a longer review because a flaming log is attracted to the top of my head.

I don't think I've ever had this much fun with a puzzle game in my life! Rhell is truly something special: an open-ended, non-linear game where you navigate the world using magic runes to make custom spells, solving each problem in any way you can think of. I typically bounce off puzzle games because they often feel arbitrary and prescriptive; I'm not solving a problem so much as discovering the solution someone else set up for me. They're often limited by the constraints of what the developer thought of when creating the puzzle. What's delightful about Rhell is that while most puzzles *do* have an "intended" solution (or at least one suggested by the level design and context) most of the time you'll completely ignore it in favor of some harebrained scheme that emerges spontaneously from the game's huge pile of systemic interactions. To open two battery-powered doors with a single battery, you might use a duplication rune to clone them, create an electrically conductive portal between the two terminals, build an automaton that shifts the battery back and forth between the terminals to alternate the doors, convert a nearby prop to an electrified material and substitute it for one of the batteries, jam the doors open with something, or even just abuse the "area of effect" modifier to create a portal on the other side of the door and bypass the puzzle entirely. Not only are the puzzle rooms themselves open-ended, the world is too; each region can be accessed in several different ways and different directions, so how you might solve any given puzzle depends entirely on where you've been previously and which runes you've collected so far. You could replay the game in a different order, and have completely different solutions to most of the game's puzzles as you come up with weird workarounds to missing runes in your library. I was pretty far into the game before I found the "smoke" and "cast on self" runes, both of which are super helpful in reaching high-up locations, so I had to get clever with portals, bouncing gel, timers, and automatons to navigate the world. A different player might totally miss the "shrink" rune and resort to turning themselves into a puddle to fit through narrow cracks. Even my biggest gripe with the game - the combination of artstyle, control scheme, and camera work can make the world annoying to navigate - still does a good job of supporting the game's strengths, plastering over some of the jankier aspects, and contributing to the tone of slapstick, crackpot creativity. Fans of games with heavy systemic/emergent gameplay cannot afford to miss this one. It really lets you "play your way" unlike anything I've seen before. Brilliant, joyful, can't recommend enough.

Очень хорошая и самобытная головоломка с прекрасным юмором и сложными загадками

fantastic

Rhell is a puzzle game, and your enjoyment will largely depend on how much you like the genre. I enjoy puzzle games to a point, but I start to lose interest when I get stuck and the challenges become overly complex. I went in expecting an adventure with immersive sim elements, but instead found a game focused almost entirely on puzzles. Even so, I was impressed by the freedom it offers. With 40 spells that can be combined in countless ways, the game encourages creative solutions and sometimes even lets you "break" it. That level of experimentation reminded me a lot of the puzzles in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. 8 - Very Good.
