遊戲時數我是邊上班邊掛著玩非常不準 這個發行商「Draknek & Friends」的遊戲我幾乎都玩過了 但應該是我給得第一個負評,主因很簡單就是我不覺得好玩 連最後一大關都沒有甚麼太大的樂趣 操作手感我感覺也比操作類似的Cosmic Express還差
感谢Alan请我玩Sokobond Express
Sokobond Express, developed by José Hernández in collaboration with Draknek & Friends, is a cleverly designed puzzle game that seamlessly blends the mechanics of its predecessors Sokobond and Cosmic Express into a fresh and captivating experience. Released in early 2024, it offers players a thoughtful challenge that merges chemistry-based puzzles with intricate pathfinding elements. The game’s core revolves around guiding atoms through grid-like levels to form stable molecules, requiring both strategic planning and careful navigation. What makes Sokobond Express stand out is its ability to present complex puzzles through a simple and elegant interface, making the learning curve accessible for newcomers while still providing satisfying depth for seasoned puzzle solvers. The gameplay is centered around moving a cursor or “train” through a series of levels where each move affects the position of atoms that need to be connected to form specific chemical compounds. Players must carefully consider the sequence and path of each move to ensure that all atoms bond correctly without getting stuck or running out of moves. The puzzles grow steadily in complexity, introducing new atoms, obstacles, and spatial challenges that demand creative problem-solving and forward-thinking. This gradual increase in difficulty is balanced well, keeping players engaged without overwhelming them. The game’s design encourages experimentation, allowing players to try different strategies and learn from their mistakes without harsh penalties. Visually, Sokobond Express embraces a minimalist art style that is both clean and soothing. The color palette uses soft tones and simple geometric shapes to highlight the atoms and paths clearly, creating a calm and focused atmosphere ideal for puzzle solving. This simplicity extends to the user interface, which is intuitive and unobtrusive, enabling players to concentrate fully on the puzzles themselves. The animations are smooth and purposeful, reinforcing the sense of precision required for successful molecule construction. The audio design complements the visuals perfectly, with subtle sound effects and ambient music that further immerse players in a relaxing yet mentally stimulating environment. Critically, Sokobond Express has been well received for its thoughtful design and enjoyable gameplay. Reviews often highlight the game’s success in combining two distinct puzzle concepts into a cohesive whole, praising its ability to challenge players intellectually while maintaining an inviting and relaxing pace. While it may not offer a deep narrative experience, the game excels as a pure puzzle title, rewarding patience and logical thinking. Some critics have noted that its focus on mechanics over storytelling might limit its appeal to those who prefer more narrative-driven games, but for puzzle enthusiasts, it remains a compelling and satisfying experience. Overall, Sokobond Express is a standout puzzle game that delivers an intelligent and polished experience for players looking to test their reasoning and problem-solving skills. Its elegant fusion of chemistry and pathfinding puzzles, combined with minimalist visuals and a calming soundtrack, creates a game that is as enjoyable to play as it is challenging. Whether you are a casual gamer looking for a relaxing diversion or a dedicated puzzle fan seeking a rewarding challenge, Sokobond Express provides a thoughtfully crafted journey that is well worth exploring. Rating: 8/10
Solid puzzler, more chill than Sokobond or Cosmic Express.
this game is so good. it's also... i want to say tailor-made for my interests - puzzles with relatively simple mechanics - spatial reasoning puzzle! (i do like wordle and similar word games, but i have a personal love for puzzles that require thinking about objects and their orientations) - CHEMISTRY!!!! - fun facts and neat knowledge! putting this in my "to replay" collection, along with 20 Small Mazes 2025-08-31 edit: i purchased Sokobond and Cosmic Express because i was surprised that i had 100% completion in this game lol
科学を題材にしたパズルゲーム。 科学のこと全部忘れちゃったあなたも!ルールさえわかれば問題なく遊べます。 (時々配列を知っていた方が有利なのかもと、科学をわからないなりに思うこともありました) 無印sokobondとは違って、線を引いて繋げていきます。無印の方がボリュームは多いですがこちらもデザインが洗練されていて良いゲームになっているのでお勧めです。

这是一款一笔画类型的游戏,其中游戏中的创新要素在我看来比较[b]平庸且匮乏[/b](仅有[spoiler]穿过、接触、时间[/spoiler]等机制or限制条件),甚至不如前作有趣。 +++还是需要说有一些地方有可取之处,比如: 提示一如既往的优秀,在提示中也有解谜的可能,也需要思考而非给出答案 每个后面有一个化学相关的日常小科普 每个机制结合部较为流畅[strike](纯纯想不出来有什么惊艳点了)[/strike] ---但大多地方依旧平庸,甚至在知识理论层面有些让人难以接受。 作为一个化工专业在读的学生,想批判一下游戏中的理论部分,它虽说将游戏的玩法建立在了化学价键理论之上,但又只是浮于表面,并未深度探究其合理性,前作中理论性虽说不强,但不至于如此胡乱创造。该作中出现的介稳和非稳的物质太多,以至于除了最后的日常小科普我不能把他当作一个科普类游戏去看。 价键的形成在这里全然凭空浮现毫无依据,电子的理论更是无可诉说。还有该游戏的目的是合成一个分子,所以我说你所合成的东西更像是一个中间体而非一个正常分子。[strike](最终产物多少有点猎奇的意味)[/strike] 是,我承认你最后结尾的提到的[i]“化学不该由化学家独享”——乌纳穆诺[/i] 但这位“反对一切”的西班牙斗士米格尔·德·乌纳穆诺所说的是否有前提条件,这是让你去享受,而非幻想。 胡编乱造和正常学习是有区别且有界限的。要想做一个以化学为基底的游戏势必需要深刻了解才能在其之上筑起高楼而非空中楼阁。
Played on Steam Deck. Another good sokoban game. Not as good as the first, but respectably different and I'm glad to have a sequel.
creative and fun!
