After playing the first two games in the series (BoxBoy and BoxBoxBoy) I was really looking forward to this game to see how it could evolve but still preserve its core concepts that make it a simple, yet enjoyable series of games.

I was not disappointed in how the game provided fresh content by adding new abilities to the blocks, which provided a new set of puzzles. They also introduced a new character, Qbaby, which introduced a new mechanic to the series, which you may have already experienced in another games. This mechanic is the one where you have to guide a unit to reach a goal. There were just a few levels with this character, which I think was great, so that it wouldn't become to repetitive.

Compared with the two previous games I found the challenge level of this game to be on par with the first game and a bit lower compared to the second game. Although the bonus levels were very challenging, which was great.

If you enjoyed one of the previous games, then you can't miss this game, since it just keeps on being more of what we love of the series, but with some new concepts to freshen up the series.
