Steam Officially Makes Hit 9/10 Game 100% Free Until October 31

To kick off the end of yet another week, Steam is back with another free download, and this time, PC gamers will have the chance to experience a 9/10 game that can now be enjoyed at absolutely no cost, and no catch.

As we already know, the PC storefront is no stranger to regularly dropping 100% discounts on some of its highly rated games, and this weekend is no exception. However, with just 24 hours to download this beautiful puzzle game, you had better hurry if you do not want to miss out.

The game in question is Hexologic, a challenging, yet rewarding, puzzle game from developer MythicOwl. First released back in 2018, it currently sits at an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating on Steam with over 600 reviews, and so, if you are fond of training your brain, you do not want to miss out on the chance to play this underrated gem for free.

As the official synopsis reads, “Immerse yourself in the beautiful world of Hexologic. Solve challenging, yet rewarding puzzles, listen to relaxing music, dive deep into the game’s atmosphere and fall in love in with Sudoku again!”

Taking the world of Sudoku to the next level, Hexologic is easy to learn and yet, once you have got the hang of it, you will not want to put it down, as players experience a language-independent logic puzzle game.

Using hexagonal grids, players will need to combine the dots inside each shape in three possible directions. With the goal to make sure that their sum matches the one labeled at the edge, it is a game that would appeal to both veterans and newcomers, even if you have never played a game of Suduko before.

However, despite offering a simple and easy-to-learn game loop, Hexologic also features beautiful graphics, relaxing music, and challenging “yet not unbeatable” puzzles. As such, it appeals to all ages and all skill levels.

If you are still not convinced, you will be pleased to hear that this stunning puzzle game offers six completely different game worlds, each with their own unique gameplay mechanics, over 90 levels to master, well-balanced puzzles, and an atmospheric soundtrack that will make your experience a lot more relaxing.

As mentioned, Hexologic currently sits at an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating on Steam, and here is what some fans had to say about this underrated puzzle game.

“Excellent puzzle game with moderate difficulty,” one positive review reads. “Great game to knock out in a few afternoons. Introduces new mechanics at a nice pace. Only wish mechanics were combined a bit more to make more complex puzzles. ‘Hard mode’ is just a visual setting for the most part. Infinite levels are a nice addition. Overall, a nice, short puzzle game.”

Another said, “Hexologic is an excellent puzzle/logic game. The concept is super simple… make sure rows that line up with the hexagons add up to what they need to add up to. Hexologic takes that concept and executes on it really well, with medium difficulty puzzles. More mechanics get introduced as you go on, and there are 90 total regular levels (and a handful of special levels). The game isn’t too long, and I 100%ed the game in five hours or so (including beating every level on hard mode). As a fan of logic puzzle games, I honestly found myself having a blast.”

So, if you want to train your brain this weekend, look no further than Hexologic before it heads back to full price on 31 October.
