Ultimate Logic Puzzle Collection

First impression: solid puzzle game This game emulates printed puzzles. The interface is designed well and supports solving without getting in the way. 4 puzzles of each difficulty are free, which by itself gives a few hours of solving, then you pay for more (or wait for the changing weeklies). The puzzle types are new to me, so that's nice. I was disappointed because the first type (number flow) seemed too easy, but other types are more difficult. If you like sudokus and similar puzzles, you might want to give this one a try; what amounts to a very complete demo version is free.

Just a free trial for paid DLC. Don't waste your time.

This game offers a wide range of logical puzzles. You can test all of them and get the first achievment in each group for free. To get the second achievement you either have to buy the DLC or you have to work on the puzzles very regularly over a long time by solving the free weekly specials. I think that's really fair. I love the wide range of different puzzles and that you are able to get all achievements for free (which is mostly not the case in free to play games).

There are a lot of UI annoyances, but the game consistently published a large number of weekly puzzles for free, so it's still worth playing through IMHO. Note that this game is NOT just advertisement for more levels. Every week, they release a new set of free puzzles, so you can play unlimited puzzles if you just wait a week. And there's so many puzzles released (Approximately 200 new puzzles released every week) that you probably won't even have to wait -- you'll get new puzzles before you finish going through the ones you already have. You can literally keep playing this game for hours and hours without paying a single cent. Some of the UI annoyances I've experienced: * The difficulty ratings are wonky; there are some 4 star difficulty puzzles that are easier than the 1 star ones. * There's a lot of temporary markings that I'd like to make, but the game does not support. Some of the marks are inconsistent between puzzles, like some "trace the path" type puzzles let you mark a barrier between cells, and some don't, even though knowing that the path does not pass through a given pair of cells is useful in both puzzles. ** For example, in Island Country, it'd be nice if we could mark numbers to say how many black cells we expect to exist in a region. ** In One Liar, it'd be nice if we could mark which numbers we thought were real and which ones we thought were liars. * The "Check" button is only useful when you've completed a puzzle. It would be nice if you accidentally used the same number twice in a region, for example, it could find and point out the mistake for you. But instead, if you have any empty cells, it'll just say you have empty cells. * There's no convenient way to "just show me all the puzzles I haven't solved yet". You have to pick a puzzle category (e.g. "path drawing"), then a puzzle type (e.g. koburin), to see the list of koburin puzzles of a specific size (e.g. 8x8), and check if you've completed them all. If not, you then might have to check the other sizes (e.g. 10x10). After checking all the sizes, you have to back out to koburin to be back in the list of path drawing, and then check the next puzzle type. I'd be way more convenient to have a screen that shows all unsolved puzzles, regardless of type or size.

Really loving these puzzles - good variety and if they update every week that is a TON of Free content.

Perfect game to play when you want to watch youtube videos but need something to do on your other monitor. Keeps the brain juices flowing and gives you a solid dopamine fix. --- Update after purchasing DLC Pack 2: The Completion Time feature always has me coming back to earlier puzzles after forgetting the solution and attempting to improve my record. The replayability aspect of this game is great and even without DLC it's hard to run out of things to do as you have weekly puzzles and can redo old levels. While a majority of the puzzles are locked behind DLC, the base game being f2p allows you to see which puzzle types you enjoy most, so that you can determine which DLC you might want to buy. The packs are priced rather fairly in my opinion - the amount of content you receive is well worth the $4.99 My only real complaint is that some puzzles aren't explained very well, and the rules are hard to understand. Overall a very solid game.

I recommend this mainly if you can get it for cheap OR if you like collections of similar games with many distinct rules (4-6). Some of the rules are not clearly explained. I play this only from time to time, when I'm bored. I can't be bothered with many of the games because the number and variety of rules taxes my working memory more than I'm willing to be taxed, more than the payoff provided by winning. There's a great variety of games, but most are similar to other games in the collection in terms of rules and strategy. The games are too boring to play a lot of them in a row. Feedback about mistakes has been confusing a few times (probably because the rules weren't clear). The achievements are not very motivating: you reach one after you play ten levels of any one game, and you don't reach the next achievement for that game until you've played 120 levels! The large number of games with similar names makes it difficult to keep track of what you've done and to view your ranking. I have no idea what some of the controls do, but they don't seem necessary to play. They aren't explained. Game is good for wasting time but not for zoning out.
