a Divine guide to puzzle solving is an inventive narrative driven puzzle game where you swap the position of objects to overcome many challenges and obstacles you have been chosen by the de TOA to complete her puzzle-like trials and if you manage to be a successful Divine puzzle tester you might return home the story is a bit simple but I really enjoyed the fun interaction between TOA and the silent protagonist it kind of reminded me a bit of the portal franchise how mischievious the main gimmic
k is solving puzzles with this fun and inventive swap beam mechanic and while it starts out pretty easy it eventually gets really challenging especially when the momentum of an object starts playing a role for example when you think you have mastered every single mechanic they add even more challenging gimmicks to the overall game play like objects you can't lift up or mines that explode after swapping them a certain amount of times there were a lot of moments I really needed to use all my brain
power to solve certain puzzles and I've been stuck on a few of them for a while every puzzle is well put together and sometimes thinking ahead is needed to progress further thankfully you will be transported to the room of transition after completing each level this is an area where you can take a break and listen to a bit more of what tobla has to say to you even and if you aren't ready for the next level yet you can always practice your stacking skills and try to find hidden secrets transport
ing to this room each time you complete a level can break the flow of the game a bit but I really enjoyed to Blas personality so I didn't mind it that much I still will die what am I I was really impressed by the overall presentation and the mind-bending puzzle design it felt great to solve all these inventive puzzles and while some of them were a bit frustrating and making one small mistake could mean you had to start all over again I never gave up and always felt satisfied when I solved them t
hey also throw in just enough new and challenging gimmicks to keep the game play fresh and exciting and the fun and action-packed ending makes it a little bit more special as well so in general a Divine guide to puzzle solving is a really solid puzzle game with a fun premise and inventive game play I was really impressed by the overall presentation and the creative yet sometimes really challenging puzzle design the swapping of all these objects and mastering their physics is a really fresh idea
so I'm happy it's really well executed but this game is pretty short though it took me a bit less than 3 hours to complete it nevertheless I highly recommend to give it a try if you love narrative driven puzzle games it knows how to keep the gam playay captivating challenging and exciting so make sure to check it out on the 29th of March so be ready to master the power of the swap beam and complete all these Innovative puzzle-like trials so you can become the ultimate Divine puzzle tester

Hey there, dear lady. This one seems right up your alley, you really are a puzzle game lover through and through. I dont mind a good puzzle game myself, I find these especially fun when proving your mental fortitude in front of friends. After watching this one, I have to report, Ive what I call 100%ed the Ender Magnolia early access game. I'm happy to say, I adore it. I gave the original; Ender Lilies almost too many tries, and the game failed me very single time. Its as if the sequel took everything that was good from Lilies, and cut out the bs. It looks super pretty, the tunes are nice and atmospheric, the controls are nice and snappy, and the combat is quick and fun. I didnt have any trouble with it myself, though there is ONE boss near the end that's quite a difficulty spike above the rest you WILL die a few times to. And, there's an area in a certain city zone that has a jump that's doable via some air juggling the game never really explains. Finished it at a steady Lv16, and fully enjoyed my stay. Curious to see what you think, its only early access, but to me, its miles above Lilies. Wondering how you'll feel about it, but it might be one of the best mvs f the year so far~ EDIT: And the story's told through visions of the friends you rescue; it does this "show but dont tell too much" thing extremely well. Its this tragic, theatrical storytelling, heavy on the Nier-esque post apocalyptic feel

I still have a few of these puzzle type games in my backlog so I'll probably pass on this one for now. I don't think it made its way to the switch yet anyway. Great review
