Hexologic

Hexologic is a single-player puzzle game from the indie developer MythicOwl, tagged as casual and strategy. It rebuilds the logic of Sudoku on a hexagonal grid. Instead of filling rows and columns, you combine values along three possible directions inside each hexagon so the totals match the numbers given at the edges of the board. The store description presents it as easy to learn but highly absorbing, and it is language independent, so the rules are shown through the board rather than through long blocks of text.

The core loop is simple: read the edge clues, work out which combinations fit, place your values, and move on to the next board. The game promises six completely different worlds and more than ninety levels, which gives you a long run of puzzles that change in look and feel as you progress. The store text describes the challenge as demanding but not impossible. For players who want more pressure once the standard boards feel comfortable, there are timed levels aimed at advanced puzzlers.

The setting is built around atmosphere. The developer emphasizes beautiful graphics and a relaxing soundtrack, and the store page talks about sinking into the world and falling in love with Sudoku again. Nothing in the description points to a story, so the appeal is the calm pace and the visual design of each board rather than narrative.

Beyond the main campaign, the feature tags point to a few extras. A level editor is included, so you can build your own puzzles, and Steam Workshop support is listed, which suggests player-made content can be shared. Steam achievements and trading cards are included as well.

• Six completely different worlds and more than ninety levels give the puzzles plenty of variety over a long play session.

• A built-in level editor lets you design and test your own hexagonal puzzles.
• Full controller support covers both DualSense and DUALSHOCK controllers, and Steam Input API support is listed too.

• Achievements, Steam trading cards, and Family Sharing are all included in the feature list.

Hexologic holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam, with 96 percent of its reviews positive. That is the top tier of Steam's review labels and reflects a strong consensus among the players who have reviewed it, backed by a review count in the thousands.

Steam bases these labels on the share of positive reviews across the game's history, so a rating like this paired with a sizable review volume is usually more meaningful than a score built on a handful of reviews. Small review counts can swing sharply with a few opinions, while larger volumes tend to settle near how most players actually feel. With numbers this lopsided, the pattern suggests the puzzle design and presentation land well with the majority of people who try it.

All prices here are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. Hexologic's regular price is NT$ 102, and it is currently free to keep, so the latest recorded price is NT$ 0. Once you add it to your library, it stays there after the promotion ends.

Our price record is still short, so this verdict is tentative. We have not recorded a paid discount so far, and no lowest paid price is on file yet, which means the free-to-keep offer is the main low point we have logged. The game has been free to keep on some days in our record, and that is the most relevant part of its price history for now.

Since the game is free to keep and stays in your library, claiming it costs nothing, so right now is a very good time to grab it. Because our record shows no paid discounts so far, we would not count on a sale arriving soon if you decide to pass on the free offer.

1. Sign in to your Steam account on the Steam website or in the Steam client.
2. Open the Hexologic store page from the free-to-keep listing.
3. Click "Add to Account" to put the game into your library.
4. Confirm that Hexologic now appears in your library under your games list.
5. Keep in mind that the game stays in your library after the promotion ends, so you can play it whenever you like.

All prices in this guide are Taiwan-region Steam prices in NT$ and may differ in other regions or currencies. Free and discount promotions can end at any time, so check the official Steam page before you act. A free-to-keep game stays in your library after the promotion ends, but the offer itself is time-limited.
