Sokobos 2

Great future direction into better puzzle quality, leaves this one notably shorter than previous games, but more oozing with good ideas.

Very nice puzzles, a suprising story, smooth movement, fun sounds, lots of settings, rebindable keys/controls, undo moves... It's well done and a joy to play. You can't skip levels but they are not insurmountable. Playing on the Deck without any issue.

I really enjoyed the cart mechanic. It breaks some of the "normal sokoban" rules in unexpected ways. Level design was good and focused, with decent sequencing between levels. No mechanic felt out-of-place, and there were several nice interactions. My only complaint is that I felt the story sequences were a bit too long. The "story puzzles" were fun, and they did get a few laughs out of me.

Ingenious, satisfying and elegantly minimalistic. The game keeps you going with distinctive mechanic variations and intriguing challenges as you advanced in each thematic path. Played it flawlessly on the Steam Deck.

🔹 EXPECTATIONS: a sokoban with its fare share of quirky mechanics. 🔹 REALITY: a short and solid sokoban with a little story. 🔶 Sokobos is a small 2D sokoban game set in ancient Greece, with a story that's told in retrospective: 3 people sitting at a table and commenting on the tale of the 'vase hermit' (that's us!). While embodying the hermit, our goal is to put all vases on the cart by pushing the vases or the cart. 🔸 It's a small game because it has 65 levels, all main playthrough with no extra or side challenges, that are easy to medium difficulty, and it can take 2-4h to complete. It has enough elements and level variety, without feeling it's stretched or padded, or it didn't reach all its potential. 🔸 Sokobos 2 is a nice sokoban game with great setting (art, music and story bits) that didn't 'wow' me, but one that I had a good time with; isn't that what it's all about? In my opinion, it is best suited for new comers to the genre or those who seek a fair challenge.

I really enjoy this game! I'm not very good at Sokoban games, but this game is a great introduction and not too complicated. The story was also surprisingly engaging, as I wasn't expecting much in the story department. It's a great game overall!

Love the new Sokoban mechanics for this sequel! And love the continued Ancient Greek theme!
