Explorers of puzzle games and those who appreciate fresh takes on classic gameplay styles should check out the newly released Isles of Sea and Sky. This game invites players to embark on a journey through an enchanting oceanic world filled with magical islands, each presenting its own set of sokoban (block-pushing) challenges to overcome.
As you progress through the game, you unlock new abilities that allow for different methods of moving boxes and blocks, as well as exploring previously unreachable areas. One unique feature is the ability to call upon a whirlwind character who can be pushed around by wind and used to grab and throw you in certain directions, helping you navigate obstacles.
Another intriguing aspect is how the game mirrors your character’s movements, adding an extra layer of difficulty to the puzzles. The game’s colorful world harks back to old Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color games, with each region boasting its own unique color palette. The soundtrack and sound effects also evoke nostalgia for that era, with simple noises signaling game events and repeated effects for things like explosions.
Early reviews have compared Isles of Sea and Sky to classic Zelda games like Link’s Awakening, but this game stands out due to its sole focus on brain-teasing block-pushing puzzles with an emphasis on exploration and no combat. Interested players can find Isles of Sea and Sky on itch and Steam, with more information available on the game’s website at islesofseaandsky.com.
