Hexcells Infinite

You can't have a trilogy without 3 games, right?

Indeed, Hexcells is back at it again and this time Matthew was able to not only tune the difficulty setting just right since in Plus it might have gone a bit overboard, although that's not all. Yes, while the minesweeping varying mechanics are great, what the other games had were a set number of levels before the game ended. What if the player wanted to keep on going? What's that? A random level generator?

That's right, for the affordable additional price of... nothing, there's a generator level mode with 2 difficulty settings. That way you can tell your boss that you'll get back to the meeting as soon as you finish that level endlessly (technically not endlessly since you’ll probably get fired before that happens, but you get the gist of it). Don't wanna play randomly generated levels? Fear not, there are user generated levels as well. Cool, right?

In all seriousness, this is the best version of Hexcells thus far and while an indicator that tells you you've completed a level without making mistakes is still missing, that’s minor compared to what's in store. Happy sweeping.

You have likely played the other hexcells games if you're reading this, and if not that's okay too. If you're only going to play one of them, play this one.

The game is a clever take on minesweeper where you use clues to figure out the locations of blue hexes in a sea of unknowns. There is no guessing required, it can ALL be done with deductive reasoning. If you get stuck, someone even made a guide for every level that walks you through step-by-step so you can get some clues on what to do next without just seeing a solution and copying it. In fact, this user-made-guide is a great place to learn different techniques in puzzle solution.

That said, the aspect of the game that likely got your attention is the "infinite" aspect. There is a game-mode for procedurally generated puzzles. It's, well, it's not great. They get kind of boring after a few. The main levels are hand-crafted so they really do test your puzzle solving, whereas the infinite levels aren't made with this in mind.

There ARE, however, user made levels. These are great. Some are really clever, some are sort of mid, but the important thing is that because they are community made, you can look up lists of ones that others enjoyed and recommended. This should be the real draw to the game over the infinite mode puzzles.

truly relaxing

fun

Great sound design and UX, makes for a smooth and satisfying experience. I'd say 80% of the success comes from there.
Tutorial are perfect. The game is not punishing.
I really recommend, it is cheap anyways. I think I will do 4-5 sessions of 20-30min between other games and that's it

Very well made puzzle game
Randomly generated levels add replayability

have graduated to the hard level but find logic dosnt always cut it. hate guessing.generally though. i enjoy the search for that link to win
thanks for effort you put into it.

i like it i like puzzles

The final Hexcells game, it has the hardest campaign levels compared to the previous two, which make for some of the most interesting puzzles.
It also include both randomly generated and user-made levels, which provide an Infinite amount of problems to solve.

Endless puzzle fun!

Great puzzle game! The campaign teaches you the mechanics and has some interesting human-crafted levels. But it really shines by having "Infinite" (seed-based procedurally generated) levels; Rare to find a puzzle game with simple mechanics but difficult enough to keep us engaged and coming back every day for new puzzles. Thumbs: UP!

Great game.

That's hell you're walking into: thousands of puzzles deep, and I keep going. The ride never truly ends...

A fun set of full logic puzzles - always a non-guess solution, even if it doesn't always seem that way! Nice for a casual game, with peaceful music and animation. I found this mostly easier than Hexcells Plus, but was still much fun.

One of the best puzzle games I've come across in Steam.

Even more Hexcells! Still great

It's like minesweeper, but it's on a hexagonal grid and you never have to guess. There are a few new rules that the game introduces every 6ish levels that make it more interesting.

There are only 36 handmade levels, but there are some user-created levels. There's also an "infinite" mode, where you can play a randomly generated puzzle.

Great puzzle game. In the "campaign" they start out really simple for you to get the hang of it but turn increasingly harder. With the generator you can get unlimited new puzzles, but they obviously aren't as nicely designed as the handmade ones. But it's a really relaxing game and you feel accomplished solving a hard puzzle without any mistakes for the first time. If you like puzzle games, buy the bundle and start from the first one, go to Plus and then Infinite. Even with the generated puzzle, I wish they'd make a new title with maybe a few more creative mechanics and thought out puzzles.

Final addition in a great series of games. Puzzles are challenging enough. The generator and user submitted levels are a nice feature for replayability. Overall it is awesome logical game that I can safely recommend.

Nice game to let your brain work a little. Infinite amount puzzles is true with the generator.

Excellent puzzle game, some great brain twisters!

An excellent puzzle game that actually makes you think hard. Starts out not much different to mine-sweeper, but gets progressively harder.

I love that you never have to guess. It might take you ages to figure out what piece of information will be the thing to give away the next piece. But it's definitely in there!

My only gripe would be that it doesn't play nice wth a macbook trackpad's slightly dodgy right-click (and doesn't recognise the accessible keyboard alternative). So get a mouse to use with it.

100%ed this game multiple times, truly one of the great minesweeper style puzzle games

A good conclusion to the series. The campaign puzzles are pretty challenging. I've switched the infinite generator to "easy" and I'm having a much more relaxed time. But it was really satisfying to work my way through a puzzle that I've had to reset multiple times in order to do flawlessly. I never felt frustrated.

Yet more Hexcells, but the added feature of randomly generated levels on top of the usual 36 pre-made levels. Whilst the game does include all the tutorial elements needed to play without needing the other Hexcells games, I nevertheless recommend playing the original Hexcells first as it eases you into things better (and is a lot easier, so shouldn't take that long to get through). Hexcells Plus is very much skipable, however.

With the addition of the randomly generated puzzle mode, this is a 9/10 game.

If you love minesweeper, you'll love this. The fact that there's no guessing required is a huge plus too.

oowee do I love this game

Puzzle game that plays similar to minesweeper with simple yet nice aesthetics. Very engaging for such a simple game and reliable enough to recommend.

good

Minesweeper-like puzzle game. Only the last 6 levels offer a decent challenge. However, the level generator lets you play this game endlessly and makes it worth the purchase.

Hexcells Infinite is a mesmerizing symphony of logic, precision, and serenity. It masterfully blends the satisfying deduction of Minesweeper with the elegance of a minimalist puzzle experience, wrapping each level in a hypnotic, ambient soundscape that soothes the mind while challenging it. The game’s mechanics unfold like a beautiful, crystalline puzzle box—simple to grasp yet infinitely deep, rewarding patience and intellect with a quiet, euphoric satisfaction. Every solved cell clicks into place like a perfect note in a song only the most attuned minds can hear.

It’s meditative. It’s addictive. It’s transcendental.

It’s better than sex.

probably the greatest thing to ever have been created

The sequel to Hexcells Plus, and the trequel to Hexcells. I honestly don't remember me playing anything from this game, but I do like the feature of infinite generation. Probably not worth $5, but I would probably buy on a sale.

Obviously, I love this game. Very relaxing, challenging, enjoyable. I keep coming back to it, and love the infinite nature of this. Such a solid puzzle game.

hexcells infinite

good puzzle game

Hexcells Infinite has latched onto my brain like a puzzle-solving parasite, and I'm not mad about it. This game is the perfect blend of Minesweeper's simplicity and a logic puzzle's complexity, creating a loop of "just one more puzzle" that somehow turns into hours. The infinite mode is a bottomless pit of challenges, each one a deliciously rewarding mini-victory for my brain. The difficulty is just right – it keeps me on my toes without making me want to throw my mouse out the window. And the fact that I can jump in and out with puzzles that fit into any spare moment is无比 convenient. Hexcells Infinite is like a good book; once you start, it's hard to put down. If you're looking for a game that's as satisfying as it is challenging, look no further. This one's a keeper!

Years after release this is still my preferred 'load up a random puzzle and solve it' game. Very comfy, good ambiance. Works well enough on Steam Deck to be a good 'cool down before sleep' game. As the name implies, 'infinite' means you aren't likely to run out of puzzles to solve anytime soon.

I would highly recommend the bundle for a good difficulty curve of hand-crafted puzzles, though, as this is the third game in the series. The hand-crafted puzzles in this set ramp up in difficulty much faster than the other two.

Pretty much hexagonal minesweeper with extra rules

A truly HEXCELLENT game

Minimalist, elegant, and endlessly engaging. Hexcells Infinite is a true gem for puzzle lovers. The ability to generate infinite levels means you’ll never run out of new challenges. A perfect game to exercise your brain!

gud

One of the best games I know.
All puzzles can be solved by logic, 6-5 was hardest for me.

Fun and deceptively hard puzzle game.

Hexagons are the bestagons

good game

great puzzle game

a pleasant lil puzzle game that saw my minesweeper addiction and supplanted it by giving me hexagonal cells
it isn't JUST minesweeper + 2 more sides, but -- you're given a few more rules to keep an eye on as the levels progress, with each making it just that bit more complicated, but never unfair
the handmade levels aren't the main selling point, though, as this game boasts a seed-based level generator, with up to roughly a hundred MILLION puzzles -- it remains to be seen whenever all of these remain as fair as the main game (literally, if you checked each solo, it'd take a good 190 years minimum)
that along with user-generated levels means this is a game that can last you a fair long while, and it's remained on my desktop anytime i need something quick to pick up and put down
