Did this game work back when it was made as an MMO? I have no idea. Certainly the concept of a puzzle game MMO seems harebrained. Must it have sucked to get your save file deleted when they tossed the servers? Absolutely. But how the game is now? Excellent. There are so many puzzles it's actually obscene (like over 16,000 of them). It is a super chill time as you wander the landscape seeing a puzzle in every nook and cranny. Tons of puzzle types too, ranging from filling in grids with black/white tiles to satisfy any of dozens of different rules to perspective puzzles to finding invisible rings to navigating mazes with crystal walls. I will put one caveat in here: if you get this game you should absolutely get the Save Stats mod and the mod that prevents puzzles from resetting. The way they programmed the game it cycles puzzles daily and after a certain period of time puzzles you have solved get reset (I guess that way you could infinitely grind puzzles for exp or whatever nonsense). As I said before; harebrained. The delight of puzzles is finding the solution, not playing them again and again for currency rewards. Anyway, the mod fixes that stuff, and the game in the state it is now is well worth buying and playing.

Honestly never care for any online anything when it comes to non-coop puzzle games. It's clunky and gets in the way or is there to waste your time so you spend more money. I would recommend this more now that that aspect is gone.

Wow, what a hidden gem. First of all, I suggest ignoring the negative reviews - they are almost all because of an admittedly crappy move by the developers who started with online only and then pulled the plug which caused older players issues like losing their progress. That's not cool and I definitely understand the frustration. That said, it is also not relevant for anyone buying this game after the fact. This is a beautiful and vast 3D world filled with puzzles that you can traverse in a fun way. Lots of different types of puzzles and cool things to do. I doubt anyone read the story and doesn't skip the dialogue - it might be the weakest part of the game - but there's no need for it anyway. The puzzles are interesting and range from very easy to very hard, but they have unique ideas that I haven't seen despite being a puzzle enthusiast who goes on logic-masters website regularly. This game keeps giving you new mechanics even 60 hours in. If you enjoy puzzles I highly recommend you try this game out, you will not be disappointed!

While I am disappointed in how the multiplayer aspect of the game was handled (servers shut down, no community control allowed), I still enjoy this game for its puzzles and recommend it to anybody who is looking for that type of game. The visuals are gorgeous, and some of the harder puzzles had me stumped for hours.
