Some of the simplest puzzle games have gone down in history as being some of the best. You don't necessarily have to have a puzzle game be riddled with intricacies in order for it to be fresh and new. Sony has taken the idea of simplicity to an all new level with Echochrome, and in turn have churned out one of the best puzzle games this generation will see.
I'm a sucker for puzzle games, and there's no doubt that Echochrome is easily one of the best I've ever played. What looks like a complicated game is actually one of the most accessible. It gets progressively harder the more you play, but as long as you apply the set of five laws to each puzzle, you will find your way through it. Even though it's not visually amazing, the soundtrack is a crowning achievement and is without a doubt my favorite this entire generation. As a downloadable game, Echochrome offers far more for GBP10 than most games offer for GBP60. You do not want to miss out on this incredible gem.
