Sept. 2025
KNIGHTS, developed and published by Arzola's, is a minimalist yet deeply engaging puzzle game that challenges players to think creatively and strategically. Released in 2016, the game has received widespread acclaim on Steam for its elegant design and satisfying gameplay, achieving a “Very Positive” rating from a dedicated player base. At first glance, KNIGHTS appears deceptively simple, but its core mechanics demand careful planning, foresight, and problem-solving, making it a rewarding experience for puzzle enthusiasts of all skill levels. The central gameplay mechanic revolves around the movement of a single chess piece: the knight. Players must navigate these knights across a grid to reach their designated colored spaces, but the L-shaped movement pattern of the knight introduces a layer of complexity that sets the game apart from typical grid-based puzzles. Success requires thinking several steps ahead, anticipating the consequences of each move, and finding elegant solutions that balance efficiency with strategy. As players progress through the game, puzzles grow more intricate, providing a steady and satisfying learning curve that keeps the challenges fresh and engaging. Visually, KNIGHTS is defined by its minimalist and clean aesthetic. The grids, pieces, and targets are presented with simple, clear lines and a muted color palette, ensuring that the focus remains on strategic decision-making rather than extraneous visual elements. This simplicity enhances concentration and provides a calm, almost meditative atmosphere that complements the game’s methodical pacing. Additionally, a color-blind friendly palette ensures accessibility, allowing a wider audience to engage with the game without compromise. A standout feature of KNIGHTS is its procedural generation system, which produces 75 new levels daily. This not only keeps the gameplay experience fresh but also offers virtually endless replayability, challenging players to continually refine their strategies and adapt to new configurations. With five progressively larger grid sizes, the game accommodates both casual players and those seeking more complex puzzles, offering a satisfying sense of progression as the challenges grow in difficulty and scale. The auditory design of KNIGHTS further enhances its serene and focused environment. A soothing soundtrack, accompanied by subtle sound effects, reinforces the game’s calm ambiance and supports prolonged engagement with its puzzles. The audio cues are unobtrusive yet effective, creating a harmonious blend with the visual simplicity and strategic depth, making it easy for players to immerse themselves fully in the problem-solving experience. Overall, KNIGHTS is a masterclass in minimalist game design, demonstrating how simplicity can coexist with intellectual depth. Its combination of thoughtful mechanics, clean visuals, and procedural content makes it a standout in the puzzle genre. The game rewards patience, strategic thinking, and careful planning, offering both short bursts of challenge and long-term engagement through daily generated puzzles. For players seeking a relaxing yet mentally stimulating experience, KNIGHTS provides a compelling and enduring journey that highlights the elegance of well-crafted puzzle design. Rating: 9/10

Most of my playtime was just me falling asleep on my bed while trying to play knights. You can't blame me; the music makes me sleepy xD. Overall, the game is good for the price. There are a decent number of levels, and the difficulty is manageable.

The game speaks for itself, and with the nature of an endless Daily Challenge mode, there's theoretically no end to the content. (or at least one within reason) Wish the game had some sort of Level Editor / Workshop Support, but as a $1 game, it's worth the value if puzzle games are your interest.
