Parcel

Sokoban evolved puzzle games can be extremely challenging at times, and Parcel is here to prove that. It doesn’t feature large warehouses in which to lose yourself, but it adds a good deal of gameplay mechanics and the possibility to use multiple characters. Get ready for a doozy.

When Parcel’s developers named it a puzzle game, they weren’t kidding in any way. They do have a sense of humor, that much we can guarantee, but this game is no funny business. It’s the real deal.

Behind its charming, harmless and very nice visual style, lies a game that will get your brain’s juices flowing. It’s surprising what they managed to do in some 8x10 grid space using a couple of lasers and a little guy who’s good at moving boxes from one place to another. Now, don’t be scared, it’s a tough puzzle game, not an impossible one, after all, what’s the point if you don’t put your mind into it.

Parcel is neat for a bunch of reasons, and one of them is the possibility to play it in solo or co-op mode with up to three other people besides yourself. This is possible because this game features four characters, Block, Magna, Hackman and Porter, each one unique and gifted with a different skill.

The full version of the game throws over 120 levels your way and if things progress as we’ve seen in the demo, you’ll need all the help you can get. And honestly, why would you even play this game alone when it can be so much fun playing it with a buddy, sister, girlfriend, stranger, hamster, you name it.

To wrap it up, Parcel is a very nice little game, as are all those that look good and offer enjoyable and challenging gameplay. For yourself and your friends, it’s worth having.
