I played this game start to what I assume was finish, but not because I enjoyed it, more because I was curious about the mechanics and genres that could be blended in.

In general, the game was nothing special. It did a lot of things, and none of them incredibly well.

I don't think I can recommend this to someone, let alone recommend someone buy this, but if you have it and want to spend a few hours to see what it's about, go for it.

Between the indie hits Pony Island and Inscryption, Daniel Mullins released The Hex, a game where six videogame characters remember their past while we get to play with them in different genres such as platforming or RPG.

At first, it could sound similar to games such as Evoland where videogame's history is explored through gameplay changes, but The Hex is not interested on how videogames has evolved, but on how the videogame industry has.

The game manages to mix an intriguing big story (since we are told that one of those characters is planning a murder) with the short stories of each character (about their past, their present, and what they wish their future could be).

Changing the gameplay constantly could easily become repetitive or meaningless, but Daniel Mullins manages to create a perfect experience making sure each "chapter" lasts exactly what it should, adding twists and ending brilliantly on a high note.

The Hex is an ambitious game that could have gone wrong in so many things that seeing how nicely everything ends up being gives me boundless joy.
